The coin on that exchange is no CCO, the address isn't the same. I'm pretty sure this coin is dead unless someone wants to reorg and get another dev to pick it up and move on.
Hello everyone,
the coin is not dead but there have bene major setbacks in my personal life.
My mother has been extrememly ill this summer as has my father and I have been caring for them.
squiggie, would you like to be added as an admin, I would like to get some more community members involved now that I am finally able to so this does not happen.
we can always hardfork to x11 or another algo if needed.
I just contacted the "other" C-Coin (CCN) community and let them know I am willing to give reciprocity of value on this chain as their developer seemed to be gone.
So, anyone who wants to be a coin dev, I'd be glad for the help.
again, sorry for the issues I want to get others to help here on the development side so in case my parents end up dead soon I can have someone else around to help.
I'm getting the ccoin.info page back up soon, just gotta get the info from beastlymac.
Thanks everyone.
BTW, I'm adding a few seednodes again here. My last block on file was on 5/15/14. Squiggie, can you confirm if there is a higher level chain?
Does anyone have an active node for me to peer with to get up to date?
thank you so much to everyone who has allowed me to take this time to care for my parents. Now, let's get this going.
Sorry to hear about your family Joe. Obviously, that comes first so do what you need to do to take care of them.
The alt scene has significantly changed since cco was launched. People no longer really care too much about scrypt clones anymore. To be frank, no one really cares about them unless they bring some significant changes to the scene with development features. People would have to see something special in cco to adopt it and there just isn't.
I would be interested in helping you out in any way possible, but there would need to be a clear roadmap of development for it to do any good. I don't necessarily have a problem with leaving it as a scrypt coin, because with the asics out, they would promote a secure and healthy network. I'm still not opposed to enabling auxpow to merge mine with other scrypt clones. Honestly, I think that's probably the best way to secure a coin now is to make it a long term partner with ltc or something.
Let me know how I can help and I will. Oh, and welcome back.
Thanks for the condolences It's appreciated.
Agreed 100% on every last little bit. The reason I was thinking of keeping it scrypt is because scrypt asics are coming out and I kinda want one too. I'm not in it to make money, I want to try to get people involved in the coin world. After all the C does stand for (at least unofficially) community. I figure if we can just have fun with it, why not? Who knows, maybe someday there will be an EMP and we will need CCO for a unit of account.
One other suggestion was to eventually consider an x11 with demurrage without a foundation, but putting the demurrage at a lower rate.
and yeah, the idea of merged mining is definitely a good one. Right now, AmiSapphire has generously helped me get the code up to 0.8.3.1 and I'm going to try to test it out here over the next few days.
I've still been over in my little portion of the alt scene (FreiCoin) but haven't paid attention to scrypt.
Once thing that would be cool to do is to create branded clients based on the town you are in. (So since I live in Selinsgrove, PA USA, the client would have a background image of something around the area and would be "The Grove" CCO client).
Do you have the ability to have a seed node going for the coin that I can add in to the core code?
Also, since we are going to be upgrading to 0.8.3.1 it will be considered a hardfork so i figure we should get it right and have everything ready to go before the hardfork. I will also be changing the developers alert key. I am thinking that in a year or so after we gain a bit better rapport (I already know some of the same people you do so it makes it easier for me), I'd be glad to give you an alert key in case it is needed. (beastly obviously will have one)
If you can get that p2pool instance going again that would be awesome.
Our roadmap to development needs to be discussed here for sure.
My thoughts are this:
this week:
0) create ccoin github account so it is no longer forked from beastlymac or myself
1) get pools going on the current version of ccoin again
2) test 0.8.3.1 source
3) create new developers key
next week:
1) discuss when the hardfork will occur
2) discuss merged mining as a final solution or not (as we both said, its cool with us)
3) discuss if the community would like to offer reciprocity of value to the CCN (C-Coin) community on our chain (our innovative feature)
4) discuss other features we would like to add (tx messaging, supersend, other blind sends of coins)
5) discuss possible on chain scripting (AKA assist FreiCoin developers in development of FreiMarkets and implement on CCO)
more long term:
1) Update parent chain merged mining code to allow full auxpow headers in to the blockchain and push upstream to namecoin so FreiCoin and any other SHA256 coin can merge mine with namecoin (currently there is no way to merge mine FRC and NMC only due to this bug).
2) Discuss and plan cross-algo merged mining (aka merged mining CCO and BTC)
3) create system of multiple developer alert keys so each developer can be identified when sending a message
4) update alert key system to allow different levels of clearences (aka, a level one alert key can stop the network from transaction, a level three can just send a non-urgent notice to the clients)
I hope this seems like a good start. I still want to do transaction messaging eventually, but as I'm just getting back in to the game fully, i don't think it's viable quite yet
Good roadmap so far?
