This is first KARMA service I ever used. And I am addicted already, lol

great.. at least now the people who wanted to get rich quick have somewhere to spend their coins instead of dumping them on exchanges lol

Actually I loaded there 1 million, and when I had almost 1.9 million KARM portfolio that dice game denied to accept my high stakes. So I withdrew 1,1 million and keep there the rest to play in future. I am in profit on this:) Owner should load it with some serious money, it is boring to play it for peanuts.

 Cheesy It's good you guys like it, we will encourage any game maker to make a game for karma and place it in our websites. Anything that can create awareness about our coin is a good thing. We are waiting for ptman for his Karma collector too, I got the java file but I don't know how to place it in the page to be playable online.

Whatever sense of community rules and normative behavior that you think I need to follow for some grand fidelity test to prove worthiness have got you where you are today.  I have no interest in perpetuating that sham.

then become part of the community and stop trying to own it.. its really not that difficult is it?


I'm not trying to own anything.  I was offering a centralized home for servers/services and money for continued development.  I was offering to acquire the trademark and hold in a non-profit for the public trust.   I was offering to bring a sense of order and purpose for the coinbase and community.  Structure.

None of that apparently appeals to you.

And I'm not going to "join" your community by mining for a dead coin that is headed down a path that is no longer pro-social (viz dice games?).  I'm not going to buy your coin to prop it up.  I'm not one of you.  I have no desire to be a "fellow-sufferer"

You know, I wonder how far along Karma would be if people like you spent half the time actually doing something productive for this coinbase instead of coming onto this board trying to show how smart you think you are.  You only have so much time on this planet and I doubt your dying breath will "that'll show them." ;-)

Lead or Follow or Get out the way.


I meant it sincerely that a man is a reflection of the company he keeps.  I can tell you that I have absolutely no interest in being associated with people like you Alphi.  You remind me of those kids who's parents praised them for everything they did as part of the "winningest generation" who in all likelihood are still living in their moms basement :p

All offers rescinded until the community figures out what it wants to be when and if it grows up.

-dvd

BTW I noticed you did not provide ANY comment around what advantage your coinbase offers?  What problems does it solve?  Who is your target audience?  Why do they care?   Maybe start with a SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats analysis) to help inform your answers...

Here's a link for the lazy : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis

MINTPAL – PLANS FOR V2 MIGRATION - September 17, 2014
http://blog.moolah.io/2014/09/17/mintpal-plans-for-v2-migration/

Quote
At this stage, we are not removing any coins from V1 in the migration.

that's great news.. one weight lifted off the community shoulders... now we just need to stop arguing with people who have no stake in the coin and get more organised around building Karma services.

I just set up my linux dev environment and I'm learning PHP so I will try to help out more with the housekeeping. I already have decades of programming experience.. I just never bothered to learn web programming so I was not of much use to the community which was mainly focussed on building websites in the past.


+1,  2 good news you got there!

By the way...the new website I showed last night(my side of the globe) is geared towards the laymen, If you have a friend that you want to be introduced to Karma, this will be a great tool to use. With simple Karma explanation, Karma price ticker, image gallery, our bounties, our promotions and more. http://easteagle13.wix.com/karma. I have written an offer to an organization who may be interested with our digital currency, let's hope they will be interested for a collaboration.

Secure the servers! Trademarks and Logos are owned by the community, right from the start, no matter who paid the most for them. As Alphi have outlined. I hope that by next week we are discussing business developments, instead of throwing mud at each other's faces  Wink.

We would like to usher everyone to the reinvigorated Karma! Let us remove walls and fences. Let's build bridges instead.

Go Karma!

Forget the past.

With trello, KARMA TEAM=COMMUNITY, everyone that wants to help is a part of the team now. Everyone who helps, will be "in the loop"

By the community, for the community.


GOOD NEWS, our KARMA API will be available soon(max of 3 weeks),


then we will run tests before finally making the access, public. Our bounty for that, is 0.32 BTC Donation address---->>>>  12RVXoccgLy8o4GyeUULRmYhaaEL2emvQD
Present Fund Balance is: 0.05340089, we only need at least 36 persons to send in 0.0075BTC to complete the needed amount




With KARMA API, other developers will be able to easily integrate KARMA into their SITES, GAMES and OTHER APPS, making Karma adoption easier, it will also take us a step closer to one of our aim to bring KARMA to those "who need it most".



Great!
Don't have btc but I can donate Karma, that's about 2mill Karma at current prices, right?


Right! You're very good in math I see.

So can we donate in Karma?

CERTAINLY. Thanks bondi!

Just to give a heads up...totally unexpected, I hope he is just sick of fever or something...

I'm pretty sure you're the one who is confused.  The 'messianic' reference was the substance of the personal attack comment, suggesting mussolini et al.  What a side show...

this is complete nonsense I did not even refer to mussolini.. quote me if you want but don't make things up.. I never said that you claimed to be a messiah. I just said that your statement that atheists cant be Messianic is completely untrue, the world is full of examples of Messianic atheists. And what did you do? take that as a personal insult LOL...

The fact that you spent more time somehow trying to focus on that versus the substance of my offer is telling enough about what kind of person you are.

Round and round we go.. I told you I am not a karmashares holder so I cannot contemplate your offer so why do you keep trying to ram some offer down my throat?

I'm not sure what your relationship is with the coinbase but I can tell you from an outside perspective that you appear to be so busy thinking of what you want to say next that you clearly have not taken the time to look at let alone reflect on the substance of my offer.  Its really off-putting from an outside perspective.

again with the offer.. and again who do you think you are talking to? I am not kosmost I do not speak for him..  nobody is going to entertain your "offer" to buy the Karma trademarks because the only person who can is Kosmost. everyone else realizes that the trademarks for Karma were created by the community under open source license so they cant be sold.. so why should they entertain your offer?

nothing stops you from using the Karma trademarks or the network. In fact I did welcome you to do that but you seem fixated on negotiating a deal with me that I am not in any position to negotiate...
I will repeat in case you missed it.. If you want to use the Karma trademarks and build your own karma based services NOTHING IS STOPPING YOU AND NOBODY WILL STOP YOU the only time you will get any kind of resistance is if you try to take control of the project and start forcing changes on the community that they do not agree with.

This is the open source, consensus model that all crypto coins use.. Karma is no different. use the logo or not.. it's  your choice.. I cant stop you and you cant stop me.


Do you speak for your tribe?  Does your tribe acknowledge it?

I speak only for myself I do not have a tribe.. should I be taking that as some kind of insult the way you did? lol.. seriously if you don't even know who you are dealing with then why come in to a random thread and make such an offer?

Because while you claim not to be shareholder you do seem to be under the delusion that people placing cryptocurrency on deposit in another computer system ACTUALLY qualifies as an investment in an LLC
that somehow ENTITLES them to dictate how its assets are disposed of -- especially since those deposits were ostensibly refunded.  One could argue that they afford no more rights and assigns than a depositor in a bank.

you need to take this up with kosmost he is the one who collected money under those claims I was not a part of it.. I can only tell you what is written in common law which supersedes most other laws. and that is very clearly that if you put something in writing then it is a written contract. what he is doing now could be a breach of contract so I recommend you discuss that with your lawyer BEFORE making the claim that people who invested in Karmashares have no rights..


Whatever sense of community rules and normative behavior that you think I need to follow for some grand fidelity test to prove worthiness have got you where you are today.  I have no interest in perpetuating that sham.

then become part of the community and stop trying to own it.. its really not that difficult is it?


In the end if Kosmost owns the USPTO trademark and my lawyer confirms its validity then I will entertain entering into a transaction to acquire it.   Which means I will have clear title in the US to use it for crypto currency purposes.  You might want to think long and hard about that.  Because if its not me, it will certainly be someone else...

Again I have already explained this to you but you seem not to understand. the trademarks were issued along with the source code under MIT license.. you can use it without purchasing it. even if you did purchase it you would not be able force other people to stop using it.. so its pointless for you to keep making circular arguments like "oh Karmashares isn't legitimate so I can buy anything I want from them.." that is a very silly argument indeed and devoid of any logic... if Karmashares is not a legitimate company then its assets and IP are owned by the people who created them i.e. the community.. the Name, Logo and Trademarks of Karma were not created by Kosmost so he had no right to trademark them in his own name if that is what he did.

I have invested in patent stocks for years and let me tell you that you don't need to go to court to have a patent or trademark invalidated.. all you need to do is file an application with the USPTO and prove that the person who registered it was not the creator of the art or invention. which I have already posted the proof of.
if you want to buy a trademark that is as shaky as that then good luck to you. It just goes to show how poor your business acumen really is.

What again, generally, is the ADVANTAGE your coinbase offers people?  Please remind everyone here why it is they are spending money on electricity to support this coinbase?  Because if in the end they think they are going to somehow get rich off of it, then I would suggest your community is not in this for the right reasons.

I do not feel the need to repeat myself endlessly. All of my posts are for public viewing in the history of this thread and the previous one. my position is well known and if you were here long enough to find out then you would also know my position and thoughts on the subject.
the fact that you seem to want to argue with me and force me to sell you something I do not own clearly demonstrates that you clearly did not do your homework before making the offer.

PS: Say what you will about Bitcoin -- but at least it has "governance" and board that treats it with respect.  Karma might as well be the conch shell on an island run by the Lord of the Flies...
please go to a bitcoin board and start claiming that you are going to buy the trademarks to bitcoin from a less than reputable source. lets see if you get the warm and fuzzy reception you expect.

alright guys. you're all doing it all over again. Attacking , swearing , talking loud and barely listening.

LittleDuke,

I appreciate your comments. I too was the one who went to Kosmost , shawn and alex 6 months back and gave them a long speech how we should not treat the coin as a coin. I gave them the idea to open a company and use karma as the mean of payment for this company. It doesnt take much to understand that any Cryptocoin is born with strong ties to the miners community and the investors community. Its root as so deep , that no mater how much everyone believes in it. once they see a %20 drop in price then its massive sell panic mode. I told the team we should open an company , but not like a "foundation" like the bitcoin foundation but a for profit company that will be supported by karma investors at first but then become bigger and much more involved. Karma as a coin can grow so much. it has boundaries. but when we tie into a business then we can grow that business from any angle. Create a world with karma as its currencies

i come here every day and i am amazed of how much the Karma blockchain can be used for. So shocked to see every new coin community always worrying about features to boost up the Satoshi prices. So short sighted.

We only see the block chain as a coin. that has values. Not like an empty envelope that you can pack any kind of information inside it. We only care how much is the stamp and the fees.

Visionaries like etherium dev wants to use their "block" chain so marry people. The blockchain are the ultimate solution to trust-less services. its like you signing a document and its forever engraved in a stone by every single person in the network.

I personally see karma coin as a kick started system , investing in services that are trying to do something good for the world. I see my karma address become my future identity. I see my address linked up to my phone and unlock my car door the moment i come closer to my car. I see my hashed karma address as my bank account where i can buy anything.  he beautiful thing about this is that it is open source so anyone can use it for anything.

Bitcoin is not a coin, bitcoin is a platform. Karma coin is not money, Karma is a platform. they are both worth as much as people are willing to believe on the chances that they will become something

Its been months now and we have yet to find one thing to use karma for. One! We haven't even begin to get one thing going on for karma. It's so stressful watch this beautiful opportunity fo to waste. The blockchain go to waste. The network of people this coin brought together go to waste.

We have dented our beautiful name in the cryptoworld. Outsiders might not give us credit but everyone knows what Karma coin is. They know it belongs to us.

we are too busy playing blaming game. What has happened should not be forgotten but we should not let it hold us back. We learned some harsh lesson recently and we have to be more careful in future.

One of the lesson learned is that Karma is an open source and everyone is entitled to give it a shot.

While i agree that karma need to be seen as business model, i am starting to see that karma should not be only that. Last time we got lost and for past few months it was only about the LLC , lill.com and POC. While the LLC was created in good will it ended up being the life or karma and when this project failed it looked like karma coin failed. We must learn from this mistakes and treat any other business entrepreneurs as a side project of karma.

Every single one of them should be welcomed by all of us and helped to reach their endgoals. How ever we will have to remind our self the true legion is to the blockchain.

So let not be hostile to anyone that takes more then two seconds to share their ideas for our coin. Especially at a time where we are lacking activity from the most karmanians.


+5 -- so sensible and well thought out.  I read through it three times and wished everyone everywhere was this reasonable, thoughtful, and contemplative.

YOU are what makes BCT so awesome!!

My only comment as a point of clarification is that is that Karma should be treated with the same rigor and decorum as a business would -- not that it should be run as a for-profit business -- but that it should be subject to the same kinds of controls and measured outputs for success.

I believe that Karma could become the "currency of reputation" -- that is a practical utility for the coinbase...

Otherwise, you're more than welcome anytime over on the Givecoin thread

Thelittleduke:

Could you please share with us your intention to help us with taking over the services and trademarks?  what do you intend to do with them? Why the desire to step in? What would that mean to us if you take them over? Do you accept the fact that whiles in your possession they will be still owned by the whole community. Will you have difficulty releasing them back to us after months of you keeping them?

You linkin profile shows you have had tons of experience in management and are a software engineer. Both of these are strong assets that would benefit karma. But we never talked with you and the community knows nothing of your intentions.

We also do not know if you understands our community as well. This community likes to speculate a lot and does little to join those who are trying to help. We do not want to fall into an other category where services are closed due to lack of involvement from karmanians.

i can't blame them as most them think by buying and holding is the help we need on their parts. Which is an insane illusion as they buy and hold for their own interest. This is a general consensus on whole crypto world. We are having difficult time trying to break this mentality. Therefore who ever is willing to take over the services will have to understand it will be a long journey and they will probably get stuck picking up the cost. We will try out best to collect funds to reimburse you but it will not happen easily. So you must understand what you're walking into

Bitwho-

Thank you for engaging in a thoughtful and open dialogue.  I appreciate and welcome the questions and will do my best to answer them.

I've been writing code since just pre Apple ][+ days.  I've written compilers and runtime systems, hold or contributed to several patents, and lately since getting an MBA have been doing a tour of duty through a variety of industries.  I built an ISP from just three analog phone lines (1 x 28.8k upstream and 2 x 14.4k for customers!) up through six acquisitions and one merger consolidating five data centers and taking in services via OC-12.  Including filing and becoming a licensed CLEC to offer VOIP services in MN using a Class-5 Metaswitch.  I still code to this day, preferring Python and a little PHP when necessary.

Fundamentally there is only so much hashpower chasing too many coins.  We are already seeing the very beginning of a consolidation with the AUXPOW work the Dogecoin team put in place to allow it to be merge mined along with Litecoin.  The ASICS have sucked most of the fun out of mining.  The future of crypto is in value-added services.
[/quote]

My interest in Karma is multi-fold.  I like the name and the marketing side of it since day one.  My own personal philosophy centers on Buddhism so the whole "karmic debt / karmic boomerang" thing appeals to me.

it has a great name i agree. what got me hooked to it. I had 200 mill coin and could sell for 5-10 satoshi. at that time bitcoin price was high.

I took over the Givecoin when it was on the verge of falling apart as well -- partially because we had made an investment into the coinbase by acquiring shares on the open market Bittrex (we currently hold about 15% of all mined coins to date) -- as the reserve / internal currency for https://doabitofgood.com

it is always good to see someone trying to help a community in trouble. How is that going? Is there a main ANN forums i can read more about this coin and its community? Could you share the amount of time you spend with Givecoin ? If you decide to get involved with Karma how much time are you willing to dedicate to it?

There is a natural synergy between the two stated purposes as well as a potential to merge mine the two -- or even combine them in a new better coin.  As of right now we are still listed on Bittrex in a disabled status while we fix our broken KGW and migrate to a Proof of Stake based model which is more compatible we believe with the tenants around doing good.

Karma coin's community will have the last word but i can tell that we are not looking to combine any coin or change our name. We are that spoiled child that would like to keep all the toys. Karma is Karma, so as long as we are capable i am sure we would be able to work together mission wise.  Not sure if we are looking into any kind of merge mining. I believe the miners are a part of the coin system that works as a reward. Miners, just like investors , their core interest is to profit. therefore i believe we should not cater to them anymore. Instead i believe we should focus on increasing real life value to karma so then the miners will have no choice but to mine us. hence you can see why i do not find it appealing to merge mine with any coin and create more miners in the system. 

Again i am not saying we do not need the miners securing our network.  because we do. But our method should not be by begging miners to join by making it easier for them to mine us but by making it unappealing for them. We do this by focusing our increasing marketcap volume and secure our network.

even at this low price volume there are miner munching off our coin. they do not care about our network security they are mining us because there is buy volume in the market. close the market and you will find 10 miners mining us after.

Our REALLY exciting prospect at Strength in Numbers Foundation is the http://www.idcoins.org -- a coinbase for Identity and Reputation -- Karma could be a good related side chain to act as the stand in for the Reputation component.

i read the pdf. could you elaborate some more on this. it seems like this is the main reason you have for karma coin. Please try to share as much of your vision on how karma with infuse with this.

As for the community I have a pretty good idea of what motivates them.  I have also watched with great dismay at the lack of sophistication and understanding of basic market mechanics.  Fundamentally Karma is a 'product' and a product needs a consumer base.  You cannot push the product onto the market and expect it to reward you.  You cannot impact the price by throwing more hashpower at it.

agreed. the faster we start forming bussiness type services and go after all kinds of target the better we are. only marketcap value will mature karma from an hoby coin into a real used service.

As for reimbursement, I don't need any.  I've been mining since 2010 time frame and in fact built the worlds first OCTO-BAMT system.  I have more than enough crypto-assets of my own to leverage and I have grown and sold several businesses.

nothing's free : )  But based on how you will reveal your plans with karma we will understand better what you mean by "As for reimbursement, I don't need any"

What I WOULD want of the community is a bunch of "Karma Ambassadors" -- people who do outreach and build the community by getting more people involved.  Introducing our coins to groups who could use it -- create donations to get them involved -- because fundamentally we need to EXPAND the economy and create more velocity in the transactions.

gonna be frank with you here. It will be hard to find tons and "Karma Ambassodors" Not a lot of people here will be easy to ask to fulfill tasks. But i have faith in the facebook community. What we do have is few people who come here every day and try to push people to do stuff.


Personally I would like to see the coinbase have some sensical and rational number of coins -- 92 Billion is pretty unbelievable and very few people can get their head wrapped around a number that large.

Also, I would strongly suggest the base move to a more POS based reward system for those that want to hoard coins.

Take marketing number like 10 Billion -- closer to the world population and socialize a "karma for everybody" approach.

I agree that 92 bill is too many coins. Strongly do not agree that POS is the answer. I have made lenghty post why POS is not a solution. Also it is still buggy and creates risk of %51 when everyone rushes their coin into one address such as an exchange service.

i wont mind going over why Pow >POS but i wont do it now.

It could become the coinbase of reputation -- but I think the current holders have to give up the fantasy that its going to magically increase in value because they want it to.
  again you will need to give me an simple explanation on how you see Karma implemented here. The PDF had only 27 pages.

I never thought Bitcoin was the "be all end all" of crypto currencies but rather a stepping stone to something greater.  I don't think Karma is the end game either.  We can create something that actually captures peoples hearts and minds and remove as much of the taint of "get rich quick" odor so many alts suffer from.  

The coins that are going to survive have to offer something other than a currency.  Bitcoin already holds that designation.  Whatever advantage Litecoin held with a faster confirmation and a "harder algorithm" as all but evaporated.  The only thing X11,X13 et al offers is a way to "re-level the playing field for new entrants" -- nothing is immune from being turned into an ASIC.  What we need are new models of reward like "proof of storage" and others.

I hope that helps to explain my background and interest as well as some of what's top of mind for me and Karma.

Let me know what else you'd like to know?
