Karma is only POW?

Excuse me for the silly question, how do I add these nodes? I don't have the .conf file in my \Roaming\Karma directory, what should I add into this file?

Thank you sir!

Make Karma Great Again

Hey guys,

Thought this was the old thread! - New thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=579973?

Kosmost! Glad you are still alive. Thought this coin was dead...
I was heavily invested in karmacoin 3-4 years ago. Is their going to be a reboot?

Edit: and wtf at everybody talking bad about Kosmost. He was the only person investing a lot of money in the coin and setting up a lot of interesting projects, other people were praising him all the time.
Then one thing went wrong and everybody got mad at him. It was so unfair.

Unless I overlooked it, Karmacoin is no longer on the list. This means that someone has claimed it without 1) mentioning it here; or 2) mentioning it on the other thread.

Would anyone care to step forward about this?

Some facts, for the curious. When someone says or implies that somehow I did something wrong, or was greedy, I implore them to consider the following:

-I spent about $10,000 of my own money to support and develop the coin. (This doesn't include personal coin purchases.) I am not a developer and Karma did not have developers at the time. I paid for a wallet dev to rework the coin and move us to X11. That's a nice amount of BTC I'd love to have now

-I paid for press releases. These do not come cheap.

-I personally built several Karma-related websites for the projects we were working on. A few used software that I paid for. (No one asked me to do this, of course)

-personally paid lawyer and filing fees for incorporation

-paid an economist for his expertise (who didn't actually do what we agreed, but that's another story)

-paid my own way to France to meet with a potential buyer/investor. I had a good time, though. I can't complain.

-paid for the Karma trademarks

-paid for the contest on 99designs to develop the Karma logo

etc, etc

Why are some people upset?

Because a few years ago we were the first to announce shares in a new company in exchange for Karma. (Kind of like the ICO nowadays. We were pioneers)

All told, about 10% of all coins were sent to a wallet that I controlled. During that time the value of Karma went up substantially (you know, supply vs demand). Anyone who requested their coins back at that time got it. However, only 1 person did and the rest were happy with a percentage of the new company.

However, some new regulations were coming out surrounding cryptocurrencies, as well as existing regulations regarding securities that my lawyer advised me on, and I decided to shut down Karmashares and return the coins to everyone.

100% of coins were returned. Not a single one was sold or lost. Or worse - stolen. (Everyone knows this.) How many nefarious crypto developers have there been? I could have sold them for about $250,000-300,000 at the time. I never considered it once.

When I told people the situation and they still did not listen, I suggested we can keep Karmashares as-is, but someone else's name must be the responsible party. Crickets. That tells you a lot, I guess. People wanted all the benefits with none of the risks, but they were fine with me being the at-risk party.

It's all here in the threads.

So some people were upset because they could not sell their coins at the high price. Others may have been upset because I could have used the coins to sell for BTC to further the coin (which I think would not have been the right thing to do).

In addition to the coins from the Crypsty wallet (or lieu of; I'm not sure how it will work) I would like to donate 100-500,000,000 coins to the re-launching of this coin. These would be used as bounties for a new wallet and people get to work on other things we need (like getting onto exchanges)

Karmacoin is still alive on Facebook. At least 3-6 people a week visit the page and 'like it'. The idea of a "doing good" coin seems to resonate with people. I would like to help get this coin back on its feet.

We can do this.

If there are no objections, I plan to claim the wallet and use it for bounties to get this coin going again. We need devs, updates, a new wallet, etc.

(If the community can trust me to hold - and safely return every single one - billions of their coins in 2014, then I think I can be trusted with a wallet with perhaps the same amount of coins)

This is completely incorrect. Please re-read the threads.

There was no offer for the coin. Of course, the coin was never for sale (!)

However, we did have a number of projects that were being worked on. For one, I went to France to meet with a potential buyer/investor.

Greed? I still have my coins. How about you?

How did you get these wallets ?

Just could not resist cashing in ? eh ?

Our team obtained many of the cryptocurrencies that were frozen on Cryptsy's servers when the exchange collapsed. The Karmacoin wallet.dat was among those recovered.

We are now in the process of giving these wallet files back to their respective communities. The wallet has not been inspected and it's unknown if it contains any coins. If you are a developer of this coin, or a longstanding community member, you can file a request for the wallet in this thread: https://www.gldtalk.org/index.php?topic=3789.0

what news?  the main guy passed on a 2 or 3 million dollar offer to sell the coin to another company who wanted to buy one of their main projects, then the main guy just disappeared.   im lucky i got rid of my 10 million or so and traded them all in for another altcoin.  it pissed everyone off.  had high hopes.  i think greed got to the best of him.

any news on this coin?
