We are looking into setting up a special exchange for trading dead or dying coins for RimbitSetup an automated website that will track coins that we choose to salvage, voted on by the community.
http://rimbit.com/forums/announce-a-dead-or-failing-coin-here.62/The website will also exchange "other" coins for Rimbit with a daily volume cap per user that can be lifted per coin, based on the DUMP situation that will definitely occur, especially in the first few weeks where large coin holders try and swap out their holdings.
The website will list "other" coins and information about them, so miners can pick and choose which coins to mine for that day or so.
Developers of other coins can continue development of their coins if they wish
The outcome is that there will be multiple coins being mined for Rimbit, with a % valuation that is less than buying Rimbit outright, however, if difficulty is kept low and miners are spread across the pools, that should help keep the mining difficulty controlled, unless the coin has some strange difficulty adjusting process.
Calculations can be based on coin market valuation of both Rimbit and "other" coins minus a % to allow for better rates if purchasing Rimbit directly
The Rimbit wallet can be topped up daily with x amount of Rimbit over a 24 hour period and will increase the topup amount as more Rimbit is being moved.
To start this, we can modify an exchange type website or build from scratch
As other coins begin to kick in and get back on their feet, they can either continue with us or go it alone, with the only caveat being that coming back would not be an option.
We may (most probably) need to setup nodes to get some if not most of the coins working again, which we can manage without to much drama
Most of Rimbit is not traded on exchanges as people prefer to hold onto them and continue to get Interest and that is the primary reason value hasnt increased or trade isnt big on exchanges. So by introducing the mining community back, via dead or dying coins, we can promote Rimbit and get the value and movement happening on exchanges, while also assisting dead or dying coins and their users to another chance at keeping those coins alive and profiting from them
So, the next thing would be to see the reaction we get from thread posters... Is this an idea worth pursuing?
