Can we redo the logo?  I think we can do better.  Just 2 cents from a new investor. 

what ever you do. do not delete wallet.dat file. i repeat. do not delete. wallet.dat file

Karmacoin version v0.8.6.2-g000002-beta-gravity

I saw it. I am relieved.  thanks

You should remove the beta

Go to Help->About in your wallet, and make sure that you see the words "Karmacoin version v0.8.6.2-g000002-beta-gravity" in the top of the window

I am a computer illiterate

so I downloaded the new wallet, opened it and I still saw my karm coins in the new wallet.

then I just deleted the old wallet and kept the new wallet in my computer.

so my action is correct? nothing is wrong?

i see that karm is growing very fast and we are very active promoting it. will hold the coins for long term

+1, definitely agree to this.

Yes agree. This should be displayed at "About - Karmacoin".

like "the new iphone"?

what comes out after the new iphone? "the newer iphone"? lol

Give the wallets version numbers like the doge dev did... otherwise users will become confused...

Unfortunately the moderator of http://www.reddit.com/r/karmacoin hasn't been responsive in our requests to be added as moderators.

Please spread the word!  This update needs to be done by everyone in the community.  Check the main post of this forum for directions.  Downloads are in the first post as well as here.  The community asked for this update to be done and we implemented it as fast as possible.  This will prevent multiminers from leaving the network with a high diff after they mine Karmacoin, making it more fair for everyone.  The actual algorithm will change at block 10,500 which we estimate to happen around or a little after Feb 10th.  That is why the upgrades must be completed by Feb 10th for it to be successful.

THANKS

pool.code4.us/karm Has been updated to the latest wallet!
Also we are pleased to announce our new name and address of karm.coinpoolr.us !
Don't worry all of your account information is the same for both site. We will also keep both site up and running!

No. It would need a developer. Anyone interested?

Does the game exist already? if not when it will be available?

Great! Will that be a website by itself?

KarmaRelay.com is still available.

How about a game app that allows anyone to "mine" for coins by doing good things, as well as acting as a wallet that shows their "balance" of real coins?

Welcome to Karma!
This week you have done [5] good things. Your goal for this week is 12.

Click on an activity that you did today:
1

3

Click on an activity that you plan to do today:
1
2
3

(for each activity you get points.... You talked to someone who seemed down? 5 ponts.. You helped a friend? 20 points, etc. Then on the user's account page they should be able to exchange their points for coins. You have 30,000 points! You can exchange this for 3 karmacoins")

People can then exchange karma with others. For example, I need a favor from you so I will send you 16,000 points. You can accept or reject it. You have a lot of points? Now you can ask a big favor from one of your friends!

This way people learn about how wallets work and how cryptocurrency works by using Karmacoin. (Much like how people have learned about cryptocurrency through Dogecoin)

Even if only 100,000 people download it and play it, it is potentially 100,000 new users of Karmacoin.

We clarify the meaning and message of Karma. We make sure that the logo is polish and *tested* with members of the general public. (Do they like it?) We then put together an identity kit for members of the press.

We make the website for both the general public and miners. Miners know where to find our info, the general public does not.

We make a way for the general public and press to be able to contact us, or open a help desk ticket if they have questions or concerns. We need to make them confident in the future of our coin. A professional-looking site aimed at the general public will do a world of good... design must be "feel good"

Going along with the concept of the coin, we should be generous, helpful, and useful. (Not just fun, like Dogecoin)

We write a press release (I can do this) and publish it in California (it's cheaper, but still picked up nationally). We behave like a normal company but without all of the overhead. The goal is to promote usage of the coin, which will of course raise the value.

We do 1 simple video on Karmacoin (this could be made in a few hours.. simply someone talking about it for a minute or so) then make more as we go along.

We work on partnerships. Stores that will accept Karmacoin in the future. Then we put this on our website. (It need only be planned, not a current implementation. We simply ask them, "Will you accept Karmacoin if we made it easy for you?" or something like that. This will give us credibility and make it easier for other stores and services to open up to us.)

Karmacoin can be the more polished version of Dogecoin that people take more seriously as far as commerce and sharing goes.

How about a widgets for Disquss, Facebook, vBulletin and other forum software, Magento, etc., to drive adoption of Karmacoin? We just start with one (probably Facebook).. Branding is easy because of the name. People understand it immediately. "Give +1 Karma to janeyun" next to every fb post. Clicking on it opens a box where other people can learn how to use it.

People should be able to have a negative balance in their Karmacoin widget. This means people can give Karma without having coins. Why is this important? It removes friction in the marketplace. The other person can see that I intended to give you Karma and it has the same effect because it still shows up on your feed. If you have the widget then it just just shows that it is "unfunded". I can choose to fund it, whereby you will receive real Karmacoins that you can use.

We have the benefit of learning from Bitcoin and Dogecoin and improving upon their execution and concept.

Bitcoin is the grandfather and is taken seriously by investment companies, VCs, and businesses. Dogecoin is good for the masses because it has emotional appeal and simplifies a complicated matter (cryptocurrency) and removes the veil of mystery to make it fun. Karmacoin can have both emotional appeal and be taken seriously.

These are just some ideas. But i think the most important thing we can do is have 1 place to organize ourselves online and manage our activities. (Like a project management system or tasklist) This is something Dogecoin does not do (but should) because, as much as I like the community, they are disorganized.

Just some ideas.. I have a lot more, but it's a start.

ok looking forward to these events

Absolutely, the key is the community.  We have a lot of milestones coming up over the next few weeks which will help join the community together.  The completion of the Karma showcase is one of the milestones for example.  It is a way that people can post good things they did or other people did.  There is also a media tour to get media outlets to provide links along with do-good stories so that people can show their appreciation via Karmacoin to someone who just plain did something good.

Thanks for joining the community!
