Hello,

Probably customer interest and the ability to integrate it into our systems, but I am unaware of any specific requirements. 

I'll pass this email on to my supervisor who may be able to help you.

What are your requirements for adding an AltCoin? Such as Heisenburg (HEX)..."

Here's something to consider:

"ExpressCoin, which we’ve covered in the past, is a Bitcoin commerce startup that’s aiming to make Bitcoin transactions accessible to people without technical expertise or conventional bank accounts. The creators of the platform hope to achieve this by offering a variety of easy methods of payments, including personal checks and cash, and maintaining a full-time support staff to help non-technical users access features of the platform. The platform currently supports Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, BlackCoin, and DarkCoin, and plans to support more Altcoins in the future."

Would this not be the "shot in the rm" that HEX needs? It' always worth taking a shot. I'm going to ask them, perhaps some of you still reading this might do the same. It's a long shot but, what the heck...

So where's all the people who were working on, promoting and supporting this coin?

"thesocialbleme", "HeisenbergHEX", where are you guys?

I can't believe you guys are just going to up and abandon this coin!

Go back to the first post and read some of your stuff, do you not believe any more? It really would'nt take much work to get this thing moving again. A switch to PoS would be a real boost to the coin. All we need are people to code it and promote it, the rest will fall into place.

Well, I for one, am not abandoning HEX though there isn't much I can offer besides passion! Here's something that can help and it's easy and no expensive:

Go to https://www.coinpayments.net/vote and VOTE for HEX to be included in their system. They charge a SMALL fee for yoting payable as follows:

BTC - 0,001
LTC - 0.09036700
DOGE - 2836.545

And to anyone out there either having the needed skills to help or, knowing someone who does, or, is willing to seek out someone, please get involved! The coin can still be mined and a nice profit can be realized for not much effort if we can get things back on track.

  

Wallet wont sync, cant find any active nodes.

I'll help you if I can. I'm not a coder but I will offer to pay the web hosting if that helps. Haven't looked into it much but, if not already there, perhaps we could move the site to GoDaddy where I have some other sites or, just take over current hosting.

Ok, who here is a coder and a webmaster? Lets make this thing move.
I will invest into development as soon as cryptokopen.eu sells on flippa

what the heck is going on with hex wallet.  2 days ago, i started to qt client, everything was fine.  synced fine.  I have not changed a thing, and just about an hour ago I attempted to sync and nothing?  anyone

I'm not upset, in fact it is a relief for me to step down.  

Actions are louder than words, so I hope you DO actually decide to help out.

I wish you good luck!

Thank you for the nomination. I never meant to upset you or for you to step down; any support and all ideas are good, but we need to be looking for more enthusiastic people that CAN code and WANT to help out.

I can try to help after cryptokopen.eu is sold. Then I will have time and funds to take this to the next level

You are right about me on all counts.

I step down as part of the dev team. (I never said I was a coin coder, I'm a web developer.) We stepped up to try and get this coin back on track when the original dev team went missing. After spending lots of my time and btc on this project, we are no closer to getting the price to move today then we were when I began work.

I nominate YOU to take my spot as you have a better grasp on how to get things done here. Maybe you can make our coins worth something?

I will leave the website up for 30 days.

Enjoy.

Seems fair.

what good is a game to a coin? Do you think whales sit and play them? ... develop something useful dammit. Something that helps distribution of the coin, like tipping bots and such. facebook apps, anything that gives this coin attention from general public. a dice game... jesus... what a waste of time

The dev team would not need to raise funds if the devs were actually the ones developing the features. You do not know what you're doing, so you need to hire professionals to do this right and expect the users to pay for it.

NOW, to make this fair and right, open up an escrow account to which the users can donate btc or any other crypto (you can convert later, geez...)
Set the donations goal (4btc or whatever) ppl donate (if you advertise this right, cause, to be fair, you do not have a strong community behind this coin)
if goal is reached, the hired guys will start coding (knowing that btc is gathered and are on the escrow account)
if the end product is what you wanted, you release the btc, if the dev fucks up - he does not get paid.

This way, you have extra trust from people who donate and the devs, and also: only devs that can actually do the job will apply.

Now you just want too much for too little if you ask me

Update:
Guys we have raised 0.00 bitcoin from the community to further the development of the coin. Sort of surprising, I thought everyone would want zerocoin anon and at least be willing to help out?  

The dev team cannot do this alone, we must have community support to go forward with this project. So unless a miracle happens, and the community members decide to help out, this project is dead.

I can't wait for the dice game! 

How about this?

EDIT: As an idea for the future, just something to think about...


Look at this service by Vericoin. They are augmenting VRC with BTC.

Vericoin: The Altcoin You Can Spend Wherever Bitcoin is Accepted

Stan Higgins | Published on June 27, 2014 at 21:51 BST  

Vericoin has launched an innovative and potentially game-changing approach to gaining merchant acceptance that could shake up the altcoin world should the service gain broader usage.

Launched in May, vericoin is a proof-of-stake altcoin that features a variable interest rate which fluctuates depending on how many coins are staking. As more coins are used to stake and support the network, the interest rate climbs.

One of the ways in which alternative digital currencies seek a broader audience is through expanding merchant acceptance. Companies like Coinkite and CoinPayments.net enable payments in altcoins, but it remains unclear exactly how successful these efforts have been at expanding the number of merchants that take alternative digital currencies as a payment method.

To date, roadblocks have emerged owing to the infrastructure an altcoin needs to be accepted by merchants and the varied willingness on the part of these businesses to accept a potentially volatile digital currency.
Enter VeriBit

Vericoin sidesteps these obstacles entirely with VeriBit, a value-added service to the network that enables people to make smaller bitcoin purchases with their vericoin. VeriBit acts as a go-through for vericoin spenders, facilitating purchases for consumers at any business that accepts bitcoin.

This new service opens up the tens of thousands of merchants currently accepting bitcoin to consumers who wish to use vericoin.

CoinDesk spoke with co-creator Patrick Nosker, who said that prior to a feature like VeriBit, those who wanted to use an altcoin to make a payment had to exchange a set amount for bitcoin. But, because of factors such as exchange fees and the natural volatility of a marketplace, consumers face the real risk of losing value prior to making their purchase.

Nosker said:

    “It’s not very simple for a beginner. So what we made is a transaction layer between exchanges and the user.”

VeriBit is geared toward smaller transactions rather than large ones. Currently, there is a spending limit of 0.15 BTC (roughly $87 at press time), though according to Nosker, this cap is expected to rise in the future.
How VeriBit works

VeriBit is designed to be a user-friendly way to pay for bitcoin purchases using vericoin. The vericoin development team acts as a payments processor for these transactions, operating one wallet for vericoin to be deposited into by a paying consumer and another one that pays out to the payment destination in bitcoin.

VeriBit

To make a payment, you first enter the address you want to send bitcoin to and how much BTC you wish to transfer. After you’ve entered in the information, VeriBit calculates how much vericoin you need to send, plus a 2 VRC transaction fee.

You then have 20 minutes to send your vericoins to the address, after which the wallet operators – currently the vericoin development team – complete the transaction and send out the BTC to its destination.

According to Nosker, the feature stays funded through donations and the exchange of vericoin fees for more bitcoin. He said that VeriBit was developed largely to build more services into the network rather than make money off of user transactions, saying:

    “We didn’t want to get into the exchange business or make tons of money doing this. It’s really just to make vericoin usable immediately. [The fee] just covers the cost of doing it.”

Ultimately, he said, the goal is to create an incentive for consumers to use an altcoin by allowing them to spend it wherever bitcoin is accepted.
Vericoin’s anonymity service

In addition to VeriBit, the vericoin team has also developed several other services that appeal to both mainstream consumers and more seasoned altcoin users.

One of the major forces in altcoin at this time is the anonymous transaction movement. This cluster of altcoin projects, led by projects like darkcoin and XC, focuses on anonymizing transactions to render them invisible to detection efforts.

Nosker noted that anonymity, by and large, is not a feature that appeals to most people. But in acknowledgement of demand for such functionality, the team produced a tool to hide transations though it stopped short of instituting it across the vericoin network.

VeriSend

VeriSend is a transaction-mixing service that, for a fee, scrambles vericoin transfers and makes them harder – but not impossible, Nosker clarified – to detect.

He added that the vericoin team at one point looked into creating a standard anonymizing system, but ultimately passed on integrating one.

In the future, VeriSend will be added to the alt’s wallet, at which time users can opt to use VeriSend or not.
Text-based management

Another vericoin-based service, VeriSMS, functions as text-based gateway and wallet system that links the cell network to the vericoin network. Vericoin users can load vericoins onto this wallet and use the SMS network to make transactions.

VeriSMS works on an international level. According to the VeriSMS webpage, there are a variety of gateway numbers that can be used in the US, Europe and Asia.

The service offers three commands to users. The balance feature can be used to actually create a wallet address and later utilized to check the amounts currently deposited. Users can type in addresses to send transactions and set passwords for their wallet. This creates a simple security feature should a person’s phone be compromised.

Nosker cautioned that VeriSMS remains in the alpha stage, and that there are risks to using it, telling CoinDesk:

    “It’s not perfect. We’re still ironing out bugs with it.”

Nosker added that the team is exploring other projects, including one that could facilitate vericoin-to-fiat transactions, that tie in to the ultimate goal of making an altcoin that is as consumer-friendly as it is functional.

Here and twitter is the only places seeing these updates:

SWEET!
