can we have a vote for coins that made the list which we DONT want to help? some real crap on there and seems silly to offer help to them all whn there are much better coins out there. Coins like 66coin and duckduckcoin are just jokes and the idea that resources will be offered and then poured into them if they accept before other much more deserving coins (like datacoin) is not good management imho 

Stepping on the toes would be unfortunate, indeed.

The social profiles is a good idea I will work on that the end of this week.

The poll was a decent idea but needed some research before adding coins. I think most of the community would be happy to have their dead coins revived but we need to make sure we aren't stepping on any toes.

Apart from what I'm already contributing I have a few spare servers laying around that I'd be happy to put to use as mining pools if Obfuscode hasn't already got it handled.

Advertisment is also pretty important. You may consider getting some social media profiles up for the Foundation. Maybe make contact with the crypto blogs?

Let me start by saying, I think holding an election was a mistake of me. It was a good way to get an idea of which coins need help, but the winners actually don't seem to need help.

Most of the coins end up being upvoted by people that are just impatient for their developer to handle things. With the top 3 (probably also GPUcoin) it turns out people actually get agitated, because somebody was already reviving it or the dev is still active.

I think it is better to first  just go for revivals of neglected coins that truly need help instead of coins just looking for some extra marketing. We should probably just discuss each coin and offer help where we can.

In my opinion, these are coins like 66coin (no pool up at the moment), DuckDuckcoin (no developer active on the code), and Qubitcoin.

Quarkbar is an example of such a takeover that made a lot of people happy.

With these coins it is best to do the following things:
1. Create new bitcointalk topic like we did with Quarkbar to announce it is a community takeover (preferably controlled by somebody that leads the community, like pikimunga from 66coin)
2. Get access to source or release new repository on Github
3. Create pools and nodes for the coin to support the mining
4. Release updated code and wallets
5. Notify important pools and exchanges
6. Create website (subsection on coinrevival.com in meantime)

What do you guys think?

We're adding them to our pool today. Feel free to register!

Stratums will start after coind-development is done

Proper announcement will follow later on with URLs, Stratum-ports, Specs, etc

It turns out Leafcoin and Karmacoin still have a developer, so are not not eligible. We will replace it with Qubitcoin and the #3 coin will be Quarkbar.

I seems so, indeed.

We will move down the list

Re: Karmacoin

It looks like they have active devs at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=579973.new

Karmacoin disqualified now?

Are we going with GPUCoin, Qubitcoin and QuarkBar now?

Interesting for the next election

Also datacoin could be to cloud storage what bitcoin is to money, Apparently storj are going to build their platform on top of it initially. Their dev has been missing for a while and talk of a community takeover is beginning to stir in the forums.

That is an awesome coin, my second choice.

It turns out Leafcoin still has a developer, so it's not eligible. We will replace it with Qubitcoin and the #3 coin will be Quarkbar.

Great news!!

yay!

We've gotten 269 votes, so I think we have quite the community going on here

And the results are:

GPUCoin   - 46 (17.1%)
KarmaCoin   - 29 (10.8%)
Leafcoin   - 27 (10%)
QubitCoin   - 25 (9.3%)
Quarkbar   - 21 (7.8%)
66Coin   - 19 (7.1%)
Let them die   - 16 (5.9%)
Thorcoin   - 13 (4.8%)
DuckDuckC  - 12 (4.5%)
Stories   - 12 (4.5%)
ParticleCoin   - 11 (4.1%)
Pandacoin (disqualified)   - 10 (3.7%)
A coin not in the list   - 8 (3%)
Graphene   - 6 (2.2%)
BoschiCoin   - 5 (1.9%)
Rapidcoin   - 5 (1.9%)
They took er jerbs!   - 3 (1.1%)
Radioactivecoin   - 1 (0.4%)

This means:

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

Today, I will create new topics for these coins to find out what their communities think about this initiative. The upcoming week will be used to index the coins. If a community does not like it or a developer does not accept it, we will move on to the next coin on the list.

Thanks

Website looks good!

Because I'm living in Europe, it will be easier for me to let the poll go till the end of May 6, 11:59:59 PM EST. Then I can close the poll when it's early morning, May 6, for me

Voting for another 9 hours!

Maybe we can add it to the next election

Where is FoxCoin? It seems to be dying but this is not just. FOX is awesome.
