Hello Everybody,

It has been a while since anything has happened here. We have put a lot of work into Quarkbar and Frycoin and they're still going. The hosting for the explorers and the website will run out in a couple of weeks. Are there still people here that want us to continue and are perhaps willing to contribute something to keep things online?

Dev wasn't seen for more than a month. 

The main pool fry.bitember.com seems to be down, so we need you to help solomining the coin! With the low difficulty, it is really easy to mine yourself some FRY!

If you help Frycoin out, you will get your mining gains tripled by us! You can share your results by sharing a screenshot like this one:



HOW to SOLOMINE

1. You need to open the Frycoin Wallet which can be downloaded here: https://github.com/CryptocoinRevival/FryCoin/tree/binaries

2. Go to Help> debug window

3. Go to the console and type


(3b. You can also specify to use a limited amount of cores, by typing the number of cores you want to use. When you want to use two, it would be like this:




4. When you want to stop mining, you can type

How is the mining currently. Does the network still have power?

Here are the main items I got back for HEX: 

1. We need a programmer that can spend some time making improvements.
2. We need a community that will pitch in and help. **
3. We need to convert over to PoS.
4. We need an anon solution.

That's what everyone wants.  ** Number 2 is actually still there but, they don't know how to assist or what to do to turn the coin around. Number 4 I'm not sure on. I think it might be helpful but feel the change to POS would be the biggest help aside from community support and advertising/getting the word out/etc.

Coin downfall?
Without a market it is really hard to judge the value of a coin. I would say it is likely at half a Satoshi right now as people where not even buying up this coin anymore on C-Cex.

Final Revival Effort
I would still like to see it succeed, so I would like to make a big pot of the coins and use this to have a gigantic lottery where we redistribute a large part of the coins to new users. I talked with Frycoin and he will give me access to the Twitter account to run a Giveaway.

Currently there are over 61M created coins and with Pulse the creation has slowed down a lot. I think it would make sense to try to gather around 5M coins and redistribute these over a large group of users. These will try to get the coin on new markets again, helping the coin to get back up on its feet.

As a longtime miner, I have mined around 5M coins myself and I am willing to donate a large chunk of this --> 2.5 Million Fry

If we are able to reach 5M coins as a community, I am willing to spearhead this campaign and will try to revive it by getting more people involved.

DONATE TO MAKE IT SUCCEED!
With the current value of the coin it makes sense to donate a large chunk for this final revival effort. The coins are on the verge of being forgotten.

GOAL
We should reach at least 5M Fry with this revival effort for me to start. (hopefully we will get much more) I will not charge a fee for this, but want our first PULSE coin to succeed!

Donation Address:
Donate to FHEfCBpXF8LznLYHYKUSuyTAYbsHGYCgJ5. Send me a PM with the amount and your name and I will include you in this topic as a supporter. If we do not reach the goal, you will get your Fry back!
You can follow the transactions here: http://explorer.cryptocoinrevival.com/address/FHEfCBpXF8LznLYHYKUSuyTAYbsHGYCgJ5

Ultimately, bringing the coin back from the edge. There are some very good ideas floating around but we lack the talent to implement them at this time. Let me go back and discuss with the remaining community before I answer, I wish to be sure I am conveying their wishes.

Be back shortly, thank you!

Currently we're working on Quarkbar, but we are always open to helping out. Anything you need help with?

Is there an "official" way of suggesting a coin?

Is there any other information you might require for consideration?

We will provide whatever is needed if we can.

Thank you!

It's suffering the same fate as is likely to befall all the other algo-themed coins eventually, interest has dwindled to near zero.

Time and technology moves on; what was algorithmically hot in early 2014 is simply tepid four months later. At some point in the future, there may be a renaissance but I can't see a compelling reason for that happening any time soon, even with the current high level of dissatisfaction with new coin launches.

3 exchanges? I can only find it on one.

But, I'd be grateful for a copy of getpeerinfo results, I can't find anything to sync to.

For comparison, Grøstlcoin made a much better job of the marketing and what we're seeing here are basically the consequences of that crucial difference.

Nevertheless, one of the stronger points of this particular altcoin is that it is a “single malt” coin amidst a raft of “blended” (multi-algo) offerings (e.g. sifcoin, quark, qubit, nist5, twe, x11/12/13/14).

I need to explain my analogy ...

One source of my enlightenment (on the topic of “single vs blended”) is the SiFcoin dev's rationale for the design decision to adopt a multi-algo approach (google translated): “Complication chain to the length of 6 different hash functions and increase bit depth to intermediate 512 - attempt to protect from further development of extremely efficient Mh / s gpu-algorithms and theory, "simple" Gh / s devices”.  No mention of security, just a possibility of limiting GPU advantage.

The other source of my enlightenment is the posts made to the stackexchange discussion Guarding against cryptanalytic breakthroughs: combining multiple hash functions. Zooko's and Thomas' posts in particular bring a realistic appreciation of the issues.

Somehow, a simple and straightforward tactic to limit GPU advantage has mutated into security theatre: “super secure hashing” (Quark), “X15 adds 2 extra layers of hashing to the popular and already very secure X13 hashing Algorithm” (Maiacoin).

When it's boiled down to the essence: for an altcoin, a tactic of chaining hash algos can't be proven to increase security nor can the tactic be proven not to reduce security, the latter weakness being a default FAIL according to accepted best cryptographic practice.

This fact will be appreciated by altcoin engineering connoisseurs in a fashion I can only feebly analogise to the “single malt” vs “blended” dimension, hence my description of Fuguecoin as a “single malt” altcoin.

Cheers

Graham

Anyone here privy to the state of Fugue coin. The chain is still functioning and small trades ( listed a 3 exchanges )

What happened to this? I was even able to solo mine it and confirm transactions...but nothing at forum.

I'm back!

Great initiative and idea, this can only be good for the reputation & future of Alts.

thank you

Hi,

I'm member of the small community of KimDotCoin miners.
I don't know if this is the right place for my question, because DotCoin is "just another scrypt clone".
But the problem is we need a working blockchainexplorer and the dev seems to be gone.
We deceided to raise a bounty of 500k DotCoin for building a blockchainexplorer.
The bounty is complete and in my wallet. If someone here is able to solve our problem pls post a link in

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=550851.260

and you'll get the bounty.


 

Thanks for the recommendation Sinohe88.
We'll take it in to account when we're back with the full team.

Will keep you posted!

Hey zro,
i have a coin suggestion for revival
TWECOIN

it's one the good rare coins out there
very unique algorithm with an up running wallet and strong network
it has it's own algorithm (first and only of it's kind)
no premine at all
no instamine

but unfortunately it hasn't an active developer or community right now
you guys may just want to take a look at this great abandoned coin
i believe it worth for revival

Sure are!

Hi guys
Don't hestitate to pm me or visit our IRC channel for questions!
