I will add that as an option, so you can vote as well

Jonesd added: "It was only proposed by one person, so..."

Yes, I am that one person. But, I think everyone is missing my point. But, first off I would like to say that I was not an investor or a miner or anything else associated with that coin and had never even heard of it until it made the news as the biggest screw job in crypto-coin history. You can even check my posts on the matter (it was  awhile ago so you may have to go far back) to see that I was warning people to get out (there were still true believers even after the debacle) after the news hit and no comments beforehand (as I had never heard of it).

I would also like to say, that no one, and I mean no one should listen to a PND investor when it comes to PANDA. The entire reason for existing of PND was to poke a stick in the eye of PANDA holders. They were merciless on the PANDA boards making fun of the people that had believed in the coin. Meanwhile, their coin went to zero as well as apparently hate was not enough to fuel buyers. I have nothing against PND as I know little about it, but theirs is no more a "real" coin than PANDA is. In fact, if I remember correctly it was an exact clone of PANDA. And, let's face it the developers were right about Wolong (who I also had never heard of before the disaster). But to listen to this guy is just plain idiotic as hating on PANDA is what they live for.

The criteria says nothing about "good" coins. PANDA had a huge following and has lots of screwed over investors. The developers were not necessarily lazy (as the front page mentions) so much as they were crooks.

But my whole point was that this group should take on a good "story" coin for its first venture. No story is more infamous than PANDA coin. The bigger the disaster the better for the first couple of coins. Some coin that is solid but a little slow is boring and even if the foundation manages to "revive" it, what's the big deal? Reviving a coin like PANDA, however, would be an epic success and put this foundation on the map.

Now, having said all of that I did NOT vote for PANDA. That would be a very big project and I think that maybe a bit more experience might be needed to take on that debacle. I do not know the people running this thread, so maybe I am underestimating them, but I think that a good medium-sized disaster coin might be the way to start things off.   

disqualified it is

Or you could just announce that it's disqualified without resetting the vote... anyway I agree that it's unlikely it will be in the first 3.although it currently kind of is...

It was only proposed by one person, so I will add that it's unlikely (otherwise I have to reset the whole vote)

Hmm, with this new info I think PANDA should be crossed off the list as it does not even come close to meeting the criteria for the foundation!

If I can throw my opinion in here:

This is a cool effort and I hope it has some success, as there obviously were way too much coins that had good premises/communities but were inable survive because reasons.
Full disclosure: I'm an active member of the PND community and am developing a neat PND exclusive service (check the signature).

I personally hold a (small) amount of GPUC, because I was really hoping in that project, but the dev was really really inept at making it work (don't know if there were any recent news, i just dropped interest now)

Having said this, I can't even comprehend why would you consider PANDA.
If the aim of the project is to revive coins that had GOOD premises, well PANDA was a scam, it had IPO, it had premine, it had wolong, it had it all. I even remember reading a chatlog between one of the devs and a person with a project similar to this one (I've found it! http://pastebin.com/Vr34eE8W, it's located on the official PANDA thread, page 280 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460037.5580) The devs have NO interest in this.

That problem has already been taken care of, please don't waste your efforts into such a scam, because:
1. Your premises are not met
2. It was a plain scam
3. Should you succeed the devs would dump again.

Just my 0.02 PND

Interesting stuff and thanks for voting!

I edited my prior post with more information that I had left out. But no problem and best wishes to the foundation's efforts. I voted for quarkbar!

That was a historical clusterf... Indeed. Thanks for the info!

Pretty cool initiative, wish the foundation the best of success.

Although there's one thing I'll like to point out - reviving PANDA would be an inefficient usage of resources and time for the foundation, since you would be competing against another Pandacoin (PND), practically identical besides that they currently have an active dev team with ongoing developments (implementing either POS or merged mining with doge this week), 0% premine and does not have the negative historical association of 'Wolong' attached to it.

Also, that coin was made by 4chan to kill off PANDA, if it gets revived, it'll be round 2 war for sure. Why? Wolong still has 1.2 billion pandas. Proof: http://192.159.66.51/address/PfmkZAVw1Z9iktfFYwP7rLpK9XGy5LEnnC

So why would you want to revive a coin, disregarding all my prior points, when he is ready to dump the f**k out of it rendering all the foundation's efforts to revive it useless?

Obfuscode has helped to create new source for Quarkbar  and implemented DGW V2 and I released a new topic for it.

This was just a short term fix and does not mean it is elected as a focus coin yet.

VOTE!

It is time for the next step indeed!

People have voted and clearly, everybody want to focus on reviving old coins!


I will create a  new poll so we can pick a coin. I propose that we take the top three from these coins and support them in the following order:

#1: Focus coin: We will take over this coin, enhance the code, release new wallets and actively promote it
#2: Runner up: We will take over this coin and patch it up.
#3: Aid: We will help to fix problems with this coin.

I will create a new poll, so everybody can vote for the coin they want. Spread the word about this vote to get people to support your coin and feel free to discuss your coin in this topic!

The voting will end May 5, 6PM EST.

VOTE!!!

I'm eagerly awaiting for a decision which coin should we focus our efforts on first!
I think that should be the next step of this foundation, to successfully revive 1 coin proving that we're worth our name!
Than people will take us much more seriously and we can easier succeed later!

agreed 66 deserves a chance to proove its worth something it has a lot of potential

Haha! Interesting career path I will keep in the back of my mind.

I will add you to the general team, so we can find out later what you can help specifically with.


Nice

I will add you to the mark & comms team.

This fix of the DuckDuckcoin was something that clearly had to happen. The same counts for a couple of other coins. It's more like patching up the coin, because otherwise it dies before we can save it.

The foundation should do more than this. It would be great if we could overtake, fix, promote and find uses for coins.

That was great (fixing another team's wallet!), but I don't understand completely. When Jonesd said "we" he seemed to be including you -- or at least heavily implying it. Plus, I am confused about your statement the you are too busy but, "if someone else is willing to step up to the plate" you would be happy to help out.

Isn't that the whole purpose of this thread, The Coin Revival Foundation? As I mentioned in my post on page 5, I think that the DuckDuck team wants someone to take over as they said just that in a post. I am probably just misunderstanding your post, because at first you seem to be suggesting DuckDuck as a good project for this group. Anyway, I guess that all I am asking is for some further clarification of your thoughts for stupid people like me!

As I have stated before, I think that good disaster story coin is the best way to start the ball rolling for the Coin Revival group. And DuckDuck would certainly qualify in that department! (Although I am sure that there plenty of others too). Thanks.

Hey

So as Jonesd said on the last page I went through and fixed up the DuckDuckCoin source code. The windows QT is compiled and my source is currently upto date and fixed. Meaning it should compile on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. I've requested a merge with the official repo  but I'm not sure how active the DuckDuckCoin dev team actually are. It maybe worth considering staging a takeover (friendly of course!) and officially launching DuckDuckCoin as our first project until such time as the official dev's want to takeover.

We (the logicoin team) are way too dedicated to our own project to be lead dev's on another but if someone else is willing to step upto the plate we are more than happy to offer what services we can. Obviously it's best to wait a few more days to see if the original dev team is willing to run with the tools the Coin Rivival Foundation has given them.

My updated and fixed souce code can be found at http://github.com/logicoin/duckduckcoin
If you have any questions about the changes I've made to the source code please feel free to PM me or email [email protected] and we will reply to you as soon as possible.
