Problem is there's no funding... If I'm just the holder of that 7M chesscoin I'll spend it all for making the dreamed playing website. I know later I'll gain.

Hi,

> I've message Isolani about relaunching chesscoin but there's no answer yet

Yeah, from what I skimmed in the past threads he is not so active anymore :-(

One goal of my current analysis is (not only software analysis):
* to identify people with skills, so we can assign then tasks: https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues

I am not sure if I understand you(r question)?

My task list is a step to bring order into this chaos (and make a prio list at the end).
* Otherwise: your and other people's ideas will just disappear in this thread :-(
People can reply to the tasks specifically and we can work then something out, assign people, ...

Currently where you can "earn something" is:
* by running the wallet and you get coins via the PoS mechanism.

Everything else: is just a hope, promise. Nothing more.

What we now make out of this all is what will bring "profit", and hopefully also fun, later on.

Hopefully someone will spare some chesscoins to my wallet or if not I will become one of the officials of the organization

Hi,

I have added one of your ideas to this task:
* make an organization: https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/7

> I'm a chess player as well as a chairman of a local chess club here in my community.

I am also a longterm chess player, that is why this coin tempted me.
I still analyze this project since the last days, and need to come to a result list on which place to tackle first here (software, community, ...).

Hmmm... okay but... what would I have in return for this? Will I earn something?

Thanks for your feedback :-)

I have created 2 tasks from your thoughts:
* add more features to wallet (play chess, ...) https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/8
  * see my comment there
* make an organization: https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/7

I am not sure if you are adressing me or the whole community?

I am also new here and what I do currently is:
* analyzing the ChessCoin project: the software, the community and other aspects
* see e.g. roadmap draft: https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/6

This will tell me how much work there is to be done here.

From what I quickly skimmed in the past threads, there was once some betting done on championships, but nothing else with chess communities.

The last 18 months showed that the opportunity was not used, and lost and the image of this project got more bad than good. At first when I looked at this project, I thought: "As usual, just a pump&dump coin" :-(

Thanks for your feedback :-)

I have actually experienced the same, currently max. 6 peers

here is the task I created:
* how many peers do users get in the wallet? https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/5

about "new version":
* as stated in the roadmap draft (1): "this is what I am currently doing:
analyzing the ChessCoin project: the software, the community and other aspects"

but I also do not want o shit on someone's project, that's why we need to identify what the current dev intends to do from here on (2).


(1) https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/6
(2) see my blog: "But let's not forget... first the current dev (aka: Isolani159) needs to be contacted about his plans (why he did not update yet; his ongoing plans with ChessCoin; ...) before starting something that brings only negative thoughts, frustration into this all - this is surely not what we all need or want!" https://github.com/chess-fan/thoughts

I don't have any chesscoin at all but I'm a chess player as well as a chairman of a local chess club here in my community. I knew what a player needs. FIDE Arena is too expensive to play. Chess.com will not give you title and no tournament with prizes. Both sites don't have any crypto integration in their sites. Chesscoin is an opportunity to make a global chess association of online players. Perhaps could even give world championship through income of chesscoin.

I am one of it's early adopter and early promoter of chesscoin and have participated in at least three bounty campaign, I've message Isolani about relaunching chesscoin but there's no answer yet wallet is still good so is the staking and the volume anyone here who can compile a wallet let's see if I can come out with a new site and talk to one who can create a chess apps for the community I need more time since I am also in on other bounty anyone who can contribute just do your share

Is this connected to any exist gamers or you intend to build your community from scratch? 

I am running and staking my chesscoin walllet downloaded a week ago if there are some weakness on it I don't know there are 4 to 6 active connections and I'm earning a good amount from staking but it will be good if you can create a new version of the wallet since the dev is using the old one i can donate 2000 chesscoin and the other could follow

Wishing you and everybody else in the community a relaxing Sunday :-)


> The checkpoint is important for building a bootstrap.dat?

No, the checkpoint hash is set in the wallet software and your wallet checks then at that certain block the checkpoint hash.
Example: let's say block #800000 has the checkpoint hash ABCHASH and we hardcoded that in the wallet software, and we are at block #850000 already.

If your wallet doesn't get this ABCHASH for that 800k block from a peer it will ignore/blacklist this peer normally, because this peer is not on the officially accepted "chain".
You can say that setting a checkpoint hash is a centralistic measure, but as explained above it prevents manipulation attempts.
The checkpoint can of course not prevent future forks, but at least for new users - while syncing - it makes sure they do not land on a fork.

Normally also other coins set up checkpoints regularly

> If I build a bootstrap.dat for ChessCoin then end this ~ Sep. 2016 and then the blockchain must be downloaded...
> So far every month I'm saving all blockchain for security and for new users...

Thanks for your work!

I also used your bootstrap files to save time, but:
when we are strict, this is bad since we need to trust the person who provides those files.
There are cases - when they are planned beforehand - where people can manipulate the existing blockchain :-(

But with the blockhashes project (1) such attempts are now seeable easily
Of course I can't speak if we were already attacked or not, for that I need more analysis time...


> Do we need a new wallet for Win, iOS and Linux?

It depends:
* e.g. you saw above (2) the virus message? One would need to investigate more why this happens and either fix or contact the virus company and explain why it is not a virus and they should remove the "warning" from their database
* also I don't know how the dependencies of the Windows binaries are out there on newer Windows systems, since the ChessCoin binaries are old. We'd need to make a test of the binaries on all windows platforms
* for integrating the checkpoint (3), we would need a new wallet, yes

I compiled my wallet myself on linux, since I don't trust binaries which others compiled. I am paranoid :-)

Hey, that's good news in the early morning 

The checkpoint is important for building a bootstrap.dat?
If I build a bootstrap.dat for ChessCoin then end this ~ Sep. 2016 and then the blockchain must be downloaded...
So far every month I'm saving all blockchain for security and for new users...
Do we need a new wallet for Win, iOS and Linux?

Best regards

The 2nd entry in my blog is dedicated to the checkpoint:

Please see the bug report for an overview:
* no uptodate checkpoint: https://github.com/COINFORCHESS/ChessCoin/issues/1

Why is it good to have a checkpoint ?
* at least until the checkpoint time the blockchain can not be manipulated anymore
* the syncing speed for new users will be better
  * since their clients with a newer checkpoint will decline clients which are on a fork

> You are exactly the right one who can build us a new wallet...

I'm copy+pasting from github (links which are here not working will be visible there):

* https://github.com/chess-fan/thoughts


I can do that, yes (or also others). The source is free, and can be forked anytime... As a matter of fact, I have forked it now here

* main reason for now: to have the commit comments and with that also: a backup, so the source doesn't disappear

The more important thing would be to "convince" then the majority to USE a possible "new version": e.g. exchanges, ...

And that moment would - short term at least - not be to the benefit of the coin (price goes South... or worse, e.g. coin gets delisted on the exchange(s)) e.g. exchanges would ask:

* why does the original dev not do this? did he leave?
* can we trust the new wallet and the new dev(s)?
* ...

But let's not forget... first the current dev needs to be contacted about his plans (why he did not update yet; his ongoing plans with ChessCoin; ...) before starting something that brings only negative thoughts, frustration into this all - this is surely not what we all need or want!

Thumbs up 
You are exactly the right one who can build us a new wallet... 
Very welcome

which anti virus software is that?

keep also in mind:

* the windows version was compiled some time ago

* best is always to compile it yourself (also, because you know then what was compiled, e.g. running a version from a stranger might bring you surprises :-( )
