I like the content, it is good information. Nice work
Is there a demo site I can look at?
I didn't know you were making a website, how much have you done for design? Maybe we can work together on this? I was planning on going full out to make a slick new website that will look like someone worked hard on it and we paid good money for it. I am starting this today. What are your thoughts? I can make a few user accounts so multiple people can update it.
Community: what are your thought on the design/direction of the new website? I took a look at potcoin and they revamped their site to take more of a business professional look. What are everyone's thoughts on the coin/logo?
Thanks
I'd love to see what you have so far. Those image heavy, massive scroll designs that most coins are using these days are terrible. We should avoid anything like that.
Overall I think you are doing great work, it does look a liiiiiitle dated but I'm not bashing that.. Thank you for being one of the community members that is giving back your own time and resources!

ps. If people are looking for templates in the future, checkout wrapbootstrap.com... Fully responsive templates with samples for widgets/pages.... I think the one I grabbed for the block explorer cost $4.. lol
Thanks for the tips. I do realize it's a little outdated but again, I was thinking of it more as manual than a flashy website. Lots of information, minimal images, etc. (See Apache, PHP, etc. pages). I also didn't want to sink any money into something that might not be used.
Big yes to consistency in fonts/logo/etc. We essentially should have a design standard for Hempcoin.
Does anyone else feel scrypt is an issue? No one wants to mine it with GPUs so it's almost an ASIC only thing now. It appears there is someone asic mining this coin and dumping it, it will keep happening until POW is finished I guess.
ASICs will be a big problem soon enough. When the coin takes off there will be a massive spike from ASIC miners. We should prepare for an algo change, or at least seriously consider it. Scrypt-N/-Jane would be fine wouldn't it? Not a huge change. Plus it would be a big plus for us to be the only cannabis coin that isn't a scrypt coin.
Final thoughts here, in a few days time Marc Emery will be released back to Canada. For those who don't know, Marc Emery is nicknamed "The Prince of Pot" here in Canada as he's a serious proponent of the legalization movement. He was arrested for selling seeds (legal) and extradited to the US.
If we could get Emery onboard, we would be without a doubt the top coin. There's little doubt in my mind that Potcoin (being Canadian) won't try to contact him or Cannabis Culture (his company).
We should do something about it.
More updates to the site!
