Topic: [ANN][RPCD] Rand Paul Coin (Deflationary) - page 7. (Read 49525 times)

You say less than 24 hours... What time exactly are you planning?

The snapshot is approaching. PLEASE remove your coins off Cryptsy ASAP.  We are less than 24 hours away.

Please keep the suggestions flowing.  I have been unfortunately busy with previous commitments.

There is discussion over at pts.cubeconnex.com if anyone is interesting about the project that has picked up the torch for Protoshares.

I am seriously considering renaming the coin to Paul Coin Deflationary. Although this sounds Biblical.

I'm still not entirely sure about Randall. It would be nice to have the coin have a reason to be around if his Presidential candidacy fails.

Rond Paul Coin or is that stupid?

Great

Here's the CryptoCoinNews article for those like myself who missed it:

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/randpaulcoin-fund-2016-presidential-campaign/ 

At RandPaulCoin dev, BTSTV is a large BitShares holder, so please be aware they could have a conflict of interest. I also hold BitShares but I will try give you my best advice for your venture though as I give BitShares the best advice I can for theirs.

IMO

- Your strategy of calling it a coin is 100% correct! You have no inflation so you are a real crypto-currency so you can be called a coin. (BitShares has adopted a company metaphor and lost a lot of value by being 'shares' & diluting themselves, though it will work for them in the long run.)

- Also don't apply the rune merger strategy. It's a Bitcoin takeover attempt some have pushed at BitShares, a) it wouldn't work and b) it would make whoever tried it extremely unpopular in crypto.

- You need the price feeds because otherwise it doesn't work. (There will be a lot of RandPaulCoin Bulls, willing to short but lower demand for the assets. This results in a peg that doesn't work. BitShares' first crash after they got to a $100 million made them learn this lesson the hard way. Even now BitAssets are able to offer interest, why? Because there is so much competition to short. Without the feeds this would instead translate to your assets being too far below the peg.)

- Also definitely don't lower the collateral requirement, if anything you can increase it a bit.

BitShares has BitAssets backed by unlimited inflationary digital tokens and you will have RandAssets backed by a completely limited no inflation coin perhaps with a bit more collateral to boot.

Well done on the Cryptocoins news article

Also you may want to post the message about your snapshot on the Chinese BitShares forums, even if you just use google translate. They are the big drivers of BitShares volume and will possibly be fans of a no inflation DPOS whatever the name. As you are sharedropping on PTS & AGS I think this should be fine.

Great effort getting the CryptoCoinsNews publicity.
 
As a reasonably fair RPC holder, if everything works out as
planned and I get the Rand Paul coin I think I will, I would like to
pledge a donation of a minimum of 1000 (probably more)
randpaulcoins to his cause or other libertarian causes.

I hope other RPC holders might consider doing the same

This directly effects RPCD and DPOS is the only algorithm that requires people as active, informed citizens. I'm interested in hearing opinions on this story and getting them put to audio for our Beyond Bitcoin Town-Hall Styled Hangouts. As Technology evolves...so must our avenues of communication and education.

Just to make it clear, there is no sharedrop on Litecoin.  The sharedrop targets are clearly stated above

They are PTS 10%, AGS 10%, Doge 10%, BTC 20%, RPC 50%

As for the chain being worth millions to be worth it.  Imagine for a second the first non-inflationary coin that has 10-20 second transaction times, privately sending to names, high resistance to high frequency trading and complete resistance to naked short sales.  Imagine this can be scaled to be an enterprise class platform that can allow people to store the value of Gold, Silver, .22 Ammunition, 1g of High Quality Sativa...etc, with a portion of the transaction fees going to putting into office the first ever crypto-friendly, liberty-loving, son of a patriot-hero president ever. 

He wants to end the war on drugs, fight for our constitution and work to bring sanity back into politics.  Now imagine that the nodes that protect this network are run by 13 other patriots who are VOTED into power based on their alignment with libertarian philosophies. 

Yeh...this coin is going to be millions.

Looking forward to actually helping change the world with it. 

why don't you keep it simple. no sharedrop on btc or ltc. for it even to be worth someones time to redeem a btc or ltc key on the DPOS chain for rand paul coin, the market cap would have to be in the tens of millions.

also can we call them rand paul shares or paul shares? that is a better name to convey it's DPOS blockchain technology.

Holy Ron Paul this idea I like ... filling the void PTS just f'k up ?

RPC ... (Remote Procedure Call)

brilliant 

Please like and share this video if you find it helpful.  When Rand Paul Coin is released, I will send a video out to show you how to claim your RPC-D  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9kqUDJWxkQ&feature=autoshare 

Snapshot for Ron Paul Coin is on 27 NOV 14, don't forget!

Ok trying to cut down on radio silence from me.

Sooooooo happy Crypsty came through.

I wrote up a nice article in google docs but it quit working. Doing snapshots isn't that hard with RPC. (Remote Procedure Call) The worst case is a rewrite of it all but there is nothing unmanageable that can not be done.

Final allotment = (Guaranteed no change)
50% RPC = snapshot 27th
20% BTC  = snapshot ?
10% DOGE = snapshot ?
10% PTS - Nov 5th snapshot.
10% AGS - Nov 5th snapshot.

I will be modifying the smaller and larger balance extremes. That can mean lowering or increasing or removing balances. No discussion on these thresholds. I would like to construct the restraints around blockchain size as much as sociological engineering. PTS & AGS & RPC will get full 1:1 snapshots proportional to themselves. DOGE and BTC will be modified in some manner.

The new snapshot for RPC will be Nov 27th.  The only market is Cryptsy and they came through but had the wallet turned off for near a week. So we will be giving 1 more week for snapshot and allotment.  I'm mainly using Cryptsy as an excuse as it is not likely to have this ironed out before the 27th so might as well let people trade pre-snapshots. Just make sure you have your coins in a wallet where you own the private key on the 27th. I'm having problems with memory  under Java which is how the snapshot software is implemented. Yet now I understand the underlying procedure to create a snapshot from a coin daemon so worst case it will be rewritten. My goal in life is to release this coin.  It will be done or I will die unexpectedly.

I've had problems pulling down the whole bitcoin blockchain with the reference client. Not sure what that is about but we are working around it.

Thank you to everyone supporting the coin and the Libertarian philosophy.  

I apologize for any delays but we're trying to deliver something with meaning and value. The genesis block creation is not very fun so once that is out of the way we will be golden.

I needed to add a few from this list from DougB62 using the method above to start syncing myself
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9536596

Edit: Can the dev confirm if the snapshot still scheduled for the 20th?

Cryptsy enabled withdrawals, so I sent to my newly downloaded Ron Paul Wallet. Now it seems unable to sync. Any ideas?

Also would be great with an official response from the Dev across all channels, that yes indeed, the snapshot is 20th November as originally intended.

For those who don't know what DPOS and BitAssets are just look at BitSharesX

Specifically look at its 180 day chart on coinmarketcap... http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitshares-x/#charts

BitSharesX used to be the BitAsset focused, no inflation blockchain. In early Oct they started talking about becoming inflationary and now the new BitShares is inflationary & they are also a 'SuperDAC' that will offer a lot of different things. You can see they lost a lot of value in BTC terms from early Oct and if you draw a trend line from any point before then, you'll see BitShares has potentially lost $100 million+ by adding inflation.

So there is a market for what BitShares used to be - a sturdy, robust, no inflation DPOS blockchain with BitAssets like BitGold & BitSilver. (BitAssets let you store the value of Gold & Silver on a blockchain!)

BitShares are launching amazing marketing in December and they have Daniel Larimer who's a development God and the inventor of DPOS and BitAssets. So they'll likely recover and potentially wipe the floor with all comers including Bitcoin.

I also don't think a coin by an anonymous developer experimenting with DPOS will compete with BitShares. If it does add BitAssets, they will also not be very liquid even if they just focus on Silver, Gold & USD but I do think there is some value out there for Rand Paul Coin right now, no.2 DPOS is up for grabs, if this dev can deliver a functioning DPOS blockchain. I recommend you pick up a few RPC if you haven't yet. Very interested in this.
