Services

The best way for CRF to cover its costs is to offer certain services to coins that are not accepted now. These can cover the costs of the coins we're focusing on.

Abe explorer + 1yr hosting on explorer.cryptocoinrevival.com  - 0.1 BTC
linux-wallets & linux-QT-wallets in .deb format - 0.05 BTC

MEETING Notes

This afternoon at 4PM UTC (10AM EST, 6PM Paris/Berlin) the Cryptocoin Revival Foundation had a meeting at  irc.freenode.net/coinrevival to discuss the following things:

1. 66Coin technical support
- 66Coin has large premine of 4.5% (only 13% mined)
- 66coin can only go ahead if premine is traced and blocked
- 66coin needs an explorer to trace it
- 66coin community must find someone to create an explorer to find out if the premine wallet can be traced and blocked
- CRF will help when explorer is ready.

2. Quarkbar promotion
- JonesD is promoting via Twitter and arranging a lot of giveaways. Support is growing.
- Shursight is arranging some PR articles on Quarkbar
- Saintfrantic discussed finding ways to buy goods and services with QB. f0o is already setting up a website.
- Saintfrantic would like a better looking wallet. f0o might know someone that can do it
- f0o proposes to do an aidrop where random wallets get free QB.

3. Quarkbar next steps
- We discussed ways to keep mining interesting
- POS might be a good solution, but not with the stake based on amount of coins,  but based on a fixed amount of coins for keeping wallet synched. This way people get rewarded a certain amount of coins regardless of their wallet balance.
We call it Proof of Wallet Stake (POWS)

4. Frycoin next steps
- f0o would like to implement TX-Merge to make transactions easier and solve the " transactions too long" error
- POWS will be tried out on Frycoin first if it is possible.
- Airdrop will be used for Frycoin first
- JonesD would like to have a tipping bot for Frycoin

5. Support of other coins.
- Requirements have been posted in OP.
- Coins that are trying to get their coin going will receive help
- No new coins accepted for now.

ANNOUNCEMENT

We're getting a lot of request from different coins to take over development, but we cannot accept too many coins of course. For now we want to focus on Quarkbar.

Our main goal is to help coins with strong communities, so we will help other coins in the meantime, but need somebody from the community to take over the responsibility of the management of the coin.

It is easier if I describe what we prefer in a coin (we might deter from this, but it does not help)

COIN REQUIREMENTS
1. NO IPO coins
2. No premine above 1%
3. No scam coins, unless we can scam the scammer out of his scam money Smiley
4. Coin must have an active community
5. Coin has more than 1 person that wants to take over responsibility (a team)
6. Coin has special qualities like an innovative algorithm --> scrypt is usually not distinctive enough.

COMMUNITY REQUIREMENTS
1. Get a team together of people that wants to help. If nobody is willing to volunteer, your community is likely just you. Smiley
2. Start a community takeover bitcointalk topic (with the account of the main responsible person) where you place all the relevant information about the coin
3. Place a poll on this topic where you ask the community if they accept your takeover --> more than 20 people have to vote and 2/3 has to approve
4. Gather the source code of the coin and create a new github repository for this. (you can add us to the team lateron for coding help)
5. Start a Twitter account and actively promote your coin.

Once you have these two requirements settled we will consider you coin for full adoption. Hopefully it will not even be necessary. Smiley

You can always join our IRC if you have any questions:     irc.freenode.net/coinrevival

Good Evening Cryptocoin Revival Foundation,

I am on the team that has Re-Launched Birdcoin

Old Thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annbirdcoin-scryptpowkimoto-gravity-wellmost-profitable-exchanges-496363

Re-Launch Thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annbird-final-stage-reward-1-birdblock-never-dies-update-21st-dec-2016-588212

We have great support from the community and within 2 weeks of Re-Launch we were able to achieve what original devs did in the first 2 months before dropping the coin all together. Exchanges, Faucets, Explorers, Website, Sub-Reddit, and a future plan with community interaction. We have received help from the Pandacoin dev who was kind enough to compile a OSX wallet which the coin has never had.

We are a small but growing community that seems to be held back by the technical aspect of things. We would love nothing more but to continue to support this coin but need some serious help. If at all possible any time and expertise that can be spared would be most helpful. I and ciocgun have been doing the best we can with promoting and planning. There are a few things I would list that the community has asked us about, I will list them below.

  • Pre-Mine Coin Removal
  • KGW Update
  • POS*
  • More Exchanges

*I was told this is an easy addition to the coin, but I am lost when I look at the commit changes from other coins on GitHub

We will accept anything you guys can do to assist.

I appreciate the time and if there is anything you need please send myself or ciocgun a message or post in our thread.

Thank You from the Birdcoin Community


thanks from me too

I am officially asking the CRF to take over WAS coin we are satoshi. I will donate a few million WAS coin to give incentive to the the CRF to help with this coin. These profits will be able to allow the foundation to help other coins. There is a max of 40 billion coins so I think 50-100SAT is very reasonable.

NEWSFLASH!
We managed to find back many of the premine coins in Quarkbar and also traced this back to the trading account of the scammer. It turns out he was also connected to the scam of Beecoin and Shacoin. Allcoin has decided to divide the 0.45BTC in frozen assets among the Beecoin, Shacoin and Quarkbar community

VOTES ARE IN
How many coins should CRF support the next six months?
1   - 2 (18.2%)
2   - 4 (36.4%)
3   - 0 (0%)
4   - 0 (0%)
5   - 1 (9.1%)
As many as possible   - 4 (36.4%)
I need about $2,50...   - 0 (0%)
Total Voters: 11

People apparently want us to adopt somewhere in between of 2 to as many as possible amount of coins Smiley

We are very happy on the progress of Quarkbar and would like to try out some new coin concepts. For this, we believe Quarkbar is too mature, so we would like to take a coin that has not been mined that much yet and has such a low value it can only go up! Smiley

We were thinking about taking on the technical development of Frycoin to see if we can come up with coin mining solutions that will ensure the future of altcoins. Once we have proof of concept, we will also implement this in our other coins. This way we can make mistakes, without doing much harm.

Please go to their page to vote if you want them to become this. I will also add a vote option above to see if you like the idea.

ANNOUNCEMENT

We have successfully passed block 262,500 for Quarkbar, so we will disclose the information about the security problem today at 13:00 (1PM) UTC here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=621906.new#new

The statement was just released.

Long story short:
1. We finished the block explorer and discovered a premine of 15,482,256 Quarkbar
2. We traced the premine and found 97,7% still in a small amount of wallets
3. We updated the source and excluded those wallets
4. The scam owner will get the following message when he tries to open his wallet Smiley

5. With help of an exchange we could freeze one of the trading accounts of the scammer with about 0.4 BTC in it
6. We published a statement to provide full disclosure here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=621906.new#new

ANNOUNCEMENT

The poll shows some people were happy about the Quarkbar focus, but other people obviously would like other coins to succeed. At the moment we decided to focus on one coin, but might get more soon.

Results:

Happy about the focus on Quarkbar?

Yes   - 9 (26.5%)
No   - 12 (35.3%)
Maybe   - 2 (5.9%)
Don't know   - 1 (2.9%)
Hoped for other coin   - 10 (29.4%)
I rather have half man, half bear, half pig!   - 0 (0%)

It would be good to know why people did or did not like the focus on Quarkbar.

Next to this, we started a new poll to find out how many coins we should support.
Thanks for taking the effort JonesD! I like the focus on QuarkBar and I think it was good to have only the focus on one coin.
The foundation needs to get used to adapting new coins and this way of working, when focussing on more coins this is getting harder.

I think it's good to have a small process support the foundation's coin lifecycle.
I'd propose the following process steps:
  • 1. Prepare a list of coins to focus on, make sure coins have the possibility to be adapted by the foundation (dev is ok, source is available, etc.)
  • 2. Have a vote on which coin to focus on
  • 3. Prepare to do list to get the coin patched up
  • 4. Work on to do list
  • 5. Assess if work on to do list is good enough to 'get things going'
        if yes --> step 1
        if no --> step 3

With this process, which is just a draft and open to suggestions, I think we can have a solid way of working without loosing focus.
I think we also need a process when 'things get going' for a coin, that'll describe what's next.
This could also be items on the to do list.

With this kind of structure and organization we get more predictable and people know what to expect from the foundation.

Let me know your opinions!

Sounds like a very good workflow Smiley Would you be willing to set that up?

Yes, I'll work out a more structured process flow and will post this for feedback.
We can then hook QB in to this process (as it would already be on step 3 and 4).

I was thinking about how to measure when a coin 'get things going':
  • Finished to do list (to do list actions have to be measureable!)
  • Approval on code quality from CRF dev's (important one Smiley)
  • Trade volume > x.xx BTC on one exchange
  • Available on X exchanges
  • Price atleast 0.00xxxxx BTC
  • .... (your input please)

If you've any ideas, feel free to post!
