Hi again,
I am back from vacation and:
- did read the forum posts -
THANKS A LOT FOR ALL YOUR WORK AND SUPPORT !!! - compared all existing dimecoin source codes on github (dimecoinproject, dimelord, coins7ex) using ExamDiff Pro:
http://www.prestosoft.com/edp_examdiffpro.asp?flm=1- created new github using the source code from
https://github.com/coins7ex/dimecoin (version 1.6.9) instead of
https://github.com/Dimelord/dimecoin (version 1.5.0)
(transaction limit and IRC functionality (to avoid false positives from virus scanners) removed)
- compiled the windows wallet using different logo designs
(which one do you prefer the most?)--> next step: upgrade old openssl-Version to a new one
--> logo change, if you, the DimeCoin community wants to change now
--> upload all source code changes to github and updating github-link on
http://www.dimecoin.rocks/ --> then new windows wallet release (after testing) ....then mac wallet release ....
here are some screenshots of the compiled wallet with different logo designs:
@peme or @onedimeatatime, could one of you repost this message so the images will show (Dear Lord, do I feel stupid, newbie...)
Hold your horses! The coins I designed are, well, coins. If the community want to use them, be my guest. But! A logo is something different. It should relate to the product...
The word Dime comes from the French word Dîme which comes from the Latin word
Decima which means “tenth part”. Furthermore, the dime is the smallest in diameter and is the thinnest of all U.S. coins currently minted. Hence the quotes and sayings using the word dime. That's about it. I mean, no other special things or meanings that I know of are there regarding Dime.
A dime..., a tenth... We can use a
nibble, “1010” mmm... We can use the
Roman number “X”..., nah. A logo has to be as simple as possible, almost like a pictogram... In the past the dime was abbreviated as "d" or a lowercase "d" with a slash through it, as with the ¢ or $. But an image like that, with a “d”, has no balance, so to speak.
Furthermore, what is it with that slash or those spikes a lot of coins have in their symbols, like in the B of Bitcoin in their
prevailing logo?. What is it doing in coin design, those slashes and spikes? That has to do with
history. They are an abstract representation of the
Pillars of Hercules with a “S” shaped ribbon around it.
So, bringing it all together. A sign, a symbol for use as a logo, almost a pictogram, indicating money (crypto currency), referring to our cultural past, reflecting value, easy to recognize, easy to use in writing, preferably a symbol which can be used as a character as well:
The abstract depiction of the two Pillars of Hercules with a ribbon in between taking on the shape of the capital letter D.
