Topic: [ANN][FLAP] FlappyCoin ★ OLD/DEAD THREAD GO TO NEW ONE ★ - page 49. (Read 345334 times)

I agree, that is the holy grail and should be the end goal. It will take time though and require many modifications along the way, but if it is open source or distributed to the right people an achievable goal.

Also agree that Danfred should be involved, he has offered his services to the current Devs and had no response but from what he has posted on here I think he would be a valuable member of the new Dev team.

You are right in that we could go for a complete takeover, but it could get messy without the current Devs releasing the website etc. You could end up with several people on different forks, not to mention we can't even edit the original post in this thread. Guess it would come down to a group consensus. Complete takeover or name change fork?

Would be an interesting experiment if nothing else. Can't see a downside as the coin is worthless as it stands.

I'll give 0.5 btc worth of flappy if you deposit me 0.2 btc as secruity. 0.3 btc deposit and I won't bother you to get it back.

I agree with a hard fork. I am a Windows developer, C++ and .Net.  I have already forked the code on github but have not had the time to get familiar with it yet:

If we can get buy-in/acceptance from the community/pools we shouldn't need to rename it (right?) and everyone can maintain their investment in it to date...

Getting FLAP into mobile games as a form of in-game currency seems like the most obvious way to resuscitate the coin.

danfred has posted some of the issues related to scalability of these crypto wallets in general.  Perhaps one way way to get more game developer buy-in would be to create an open source back-end solution for managing transactions that each dev could host themselves rather than (or in addition to) a single third party centralized solution...

FLAPPY COIN HOSTILE TAKEOVER

Well maybe not so hostile given the current Devs are currently AWOL and the coin has hit rock bottom... also it would not technically be a takeover but a hard fork (There is currently a team looking to do just this with Litecoin). This has been proposed a few times in this thread, but I think it might be worth doing. Details below:

How would it work?

Technically it is not that difficult, the real hurdle is in the implementation and adoption. As the scrypt is all open source a new wallet can be created and a block number set to hard fork the coin. As of that block all users would be required to update their wallet and mine on the new fork.

New Dev/Team

These members would have to be agreed, and not just to cover technical side but anyone with enthusiasm and time to spare. It would also present an opportunity to change any details of the coin we wanted, block reward, difficulty retarget (adopt digishield?), scrpt algorithm (X11?), total number of coins etc. etc. Any ideas/innovations could also be built into the wallet or planned for a later update.

It may also be worth contacting the other set of Devs who were going to release a Flappy Coin until this one jumped the gun, they still hold a lot of the flappy website addresses and given the circumstances would probably be happy to help.

In order to avoid confusion it might also be worth changing the name slightly so people can be sure which fork they are on, (FLAPZ?)

Pool Operators and Exchanges

We would need the cooperation of pool operators to either agree to replace their flappy wallet with the our new version and advertise the mandatory update, or alternatively they could run both a FLAPZ and FLAP pool in unison. I don't see it being a problem getting at least a few pools running in time for the fork. As for exchanges, again probably not an issue getting listed on the B-list ones early on, but like any other coin it needs community support, liquidity and value to get listed on the larger exchanges ... which can come with time.

Personal Wallets

After updating your wallet you will inherit all your existing FLAPs you mined/purchased prior to the fork, which would now be FLAPZ. After this point only mining/transfers between the new wallets would be recognised by the new fork and it would not be possible to transfer coins between FLAP and FLAPZ chains.

It is also possible to keep both wallets in the short term, so if you had 1 Million FLAPs before the fork, you would still have 1 million FLAPs after the fork + 1 Million FLAPZ in the new wallet on the new fork.

Adding value and direction

This is not worth doing if the end result is just a clone of flappy coin. The coin needs ideas and innovations, many which have been suggested in this thread, agreeing these and a direction is a must. 

Currently FLAPs price is about as low as it could be and the mining difficulty is really low. So everyone would have the chance to mine and buy coins before the fork, which should help with an even distribution. After the fork there will also be over 50% of coins left to be mined so scope there to.

Way forward ...

STEP 1: This idea needs support so copy this and add your comments in this thread
STEP 2: Agree on the Devs and Team leaders
STEP 3: Modify the code, create the wallet and set a block number for the fork
STEP 4: Ensure pools are available and new website etc.
STEP 5: Count down the blocks and see what happens ...

So will you make a fortune off this, maybe not, but as a Flappy holder you have nothing to lose and if nothing else it would prove an interesting experiment in this ever evolving cryptocurrency landscape.

May i ask what you want with between 290,035,701 and 580,071,402 coins that have no interest in them?

Yes, it's the same guy.

:O Its that guy i sometimes see on GPUCoin

Anyone interested in the following deal: I want to get loan of 0.5-1 btc worth flappy for 2 weeks. I will offer a 2% interest for that.

more dump???

Until now  More will follow soon, trust me

Why can't we donate FLAP to dev? 
LOL

Flap was my biggest loss in crypto history. 

i came here to check if the bird is still breathing or not.

fuck the dev.

Contest closed due lack of interest and inactive devs...
