DASH COIN =DOSH COIN       

Have same number of coins...

already spreaded the word and will do more tweets soon

Don't forget to spread the word on twitter and reddit about the contest too. Also you'll need somewhere to post the entries so that the Dosh community can see and "vote" on them by sending Dosh to those addresses.

Ok, I am done setting the bar with a few gimp tutorials. So the above Logo is not a world beater, nor dose it have to be the theme. On the suggestion of QuadraQ I would like you to submit your efforts for a paid vote.

Phase 1

Every logo submitted will be allocated a wallet address, that the community can donate too.

Phase 2

21 August will be the date that the top three designers will have a chance to refine their work, after which a further three days of voting will commence.

Lastly

Monday 25 August logo goes Live

worthy crit

On the subject of strip clubs, I compiled a X11 POW/POS coin called Blueballs for a bit of a laugh, and that exact funtion.

Never launched though, should have could have would have

I realise I am no Picaso when it comes to design, To start, my main concern has been that Miners have no issues, next will to develop on top of that,

ie, great looking but not working dose not work for me.

I am cognitive of all the great suggestions and am looking to implement shortly,

simple information,at least put some pic in op i think will be better

I was trying for a soft launch, with the intention of getting some user participation and Organic progression (development).

already launched ;-\

Haven't you specified the launch time yet?

I must say I'm impressed with your communication and commitment so far, so keep that up. This coin reminds me of BitStar which flew under the radar (and well still does to some extent) but has very solid and committed developers, and a good community. Any coin with good fundamentals that builds a community and seeks to constantly improve itself can succeed in the long run.

Giveaways can be a great way to get people interested and excited about your coin, but caution is in order. Again referring to BitStar, learn from some mistakes that were made there. A small pre-mine was used primarily for promotional purposes and for charity (all announced and above board). Anyway they gave away a lot of coins via #IRC, but people started gaming the system to hoard coins, and since they didn't have to do anything but show up to get their coins, most didn't value them, and simply dumped them as soon as an exchange was available. This depressed the price and set the bar low for a long while.

So whatever you do with the giveaway make sure of a few things: 1) People need to do SOMETHING to get the coins 2) That "something" promotes the coin in some way and gets the word out, 3) Try to avoid things where people can easily cheat, 4) If it helps people feel like part of the community that's best.

As for the logo, yeah we need something a lot better. I suggest again that you learn from what's worked well for others here. WhiteCoin did something very smart when looking for a new logo. They created a three round contest, where for the first round anyone could submit an entry and then the community would "vote" by submitting coins to an address for each logo. After a week or so (can't remember the exact time frame) the top three choices were promoted to round 2 and the artists had a chance to refine their artwork if they chose to, and again users voted for the winner by sending coins. After another week the winner becomes the new logo, and all the coins submitted as "votes" for that artwork are then given to the artist as his/her reward. All the coins collected for the non-winning entries are kept and used to fund further promotions/charity and development of the coin. I can't remember the site they used to organize all this, but some google searches should turn it up.

Finally, there is a real opportunity to set Dosh apart from the other crytpnite based coins out there, and that's to develop a good GUI wallet. I know Monero did a contest, and I was never a fan of that because then you have several competing wallets, none of them are that great, and it's just confusing. One of the things that's held back all the cryptonite coins is the lack of a familiar wallet. If you can create a QT based wallet (so that it's cross platform) that works just like (or better!) than all the other coin wallets out there, then you'll get a LOT more users of Dosh. I know that's not easy, but it is a real opportunity. There is a half-way decent QT based wallet for Monero that might be useful as a starting point. It's still pretty buggy, and it doesn't quite nail the interface elements that most Bitcoin/Litecoin based QT wallets have, but it would still be better than starting from scratch I imagine.

Its quiet because no big plans, ANN is plain, Logo needs to be a little better, well maybe a lot better. I see you have a bounty for it, that is good.

Any chance of getting a GUI wallet going for it? I know that other cryptonote coins have something already.

How about focus on promoting the coin at shops, like strip clubs. Who doesn't like strippers? I think we need a crypto they can use.

Lay out a roadmap for the coin in the ANN post.

Taken from extremepool, at present the Network Hash rate is about 23 KH/sec, with extremepool acounting for 17% of hash rate.

Only mentioning it because I would like to get some feedback.

If all is good I am planning on doing a exchange drive

It appears to be a problem at my end.  Sorry about that.  My ISP (Optus in Australia) has been having problems accessing certain ports/websites for a few days. I just successfully accessed the page on my mobile which is not with Optus.  Sucks. Time to change ISPs!! Strangely, I can access the main extremepool page no problems and some of their pools but not others, including dosh.  Almost all the pools show up on my mobile.

I have asked them to check, on face value it looks like the pool is fine here.

Can you give me more details

not mining, myself, but will look in to it

Pool has been down all day.

New Op design shortly

Any suggestions for a giveaway would be welcomed.
