Topic: [PROPOSAL] Let there be DMD Takeover! - page 2. (Read 3091 times)

I think you should be on the team! And I like you guys for not wanting to let this coin disappear.. I would help too, but as I said I am just a noob in programing and developing. But this is the right way we are going...

One question: How does coin takeover work?

Who is he working with? I thought he was on his own.

Ummm.....r3wt??? Gascoin......... https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-gas-coin-is-dead-and-this-is-how-r3wt-scammed-us-and-destroyed-the-coin-263994
Haha. 

I'm supporting this coin because I like the idea of a rare coin, but I also sold all my coins because of the bad exchange rate... as I already mentioned in another thread, DMD should be worth 4 or 5 times more than BTC. But what's the exchange course? 0.00026000 on Coins-E (Cryptsy was down )... absolutely undervalued compared to their max coins (4,38 Mio.). I've to pay $0,38 per kW/h, thus it's not worth mining DMD with the current exchange course...
The first thing I thought was.... yes finally a real alternative to BTC and a coin not as inflationary as BTC because there are only 4,38 coins. I saw BTC as the "real" money and DMD the real Diamond. It's sad to see such a great coin with such a bad acceptance and exchange course...
Did I alredy mentioned that I like Diamonds? I'm a software developer, I'm using cryptographic functions in my applications and I already startet a (private) project called Astat [AST] (because it's "the rarest naturally occurring element" (Wiki) on earth). My specifications were as follows:

• Algorithm: Scrypt-Jane
• Coins total: 102 200 Coins total
• Coins per day: 10
• Coins per block: 0,25 (40 Blocks per day)
• Mining will last for 28 years (fair for PPL which start mining after some years)
• No bonus blocks
• Of course, no premine

That's the intention behind my own coin (really really rare - only 0,0048% compared to BTC). I would like to help to restart or recreate DMD, but my problem is that I've no expiriences maintaining a coin and that's also the problem of my own coin. The problem of the most alt-coins is, that there no real community or team behind the coin... the coins are posted here on bitcointalk, probably has a homepage, created in one or two days, mined for 3 or 4 weeks (until they are unprofitable) without no long term support or team which is responsible for the coin or tries to increase their acceptance. Additionally I never read anything about DMD, JPC, STR or the most other alt-coins on BTCe, Bitsamp, Vircurex or some other, large and popular exchanges. Newcomers know BTC and probably LTC, but nothing about other coins... how should they know that there're more, other (rarer) coins? As Pmalek already mentioned, DMD needs a team, a forum, avatars like other coins, blog entries AND... a service accepting DMD-payments. Finally... DMD needs more press articles and services/shops!

i for one will never support any coin which igotspots supports, i dont trust him for my own reasons. yes he is dedicated but because he has a team behind it, if we built a team then im sure we can bring dmd far, here are the possible list of people who i might be able to get to join the team:

me,
lucasjones
zelles(with payment provided by me)
r3wt(with payment provided by me)

Diamond definitely needs an active dev team.

Johnluc has done a good job overall and created a nice alt coin, but for Diamond to move forward, it needs a team.

It needs the kind of support/promotion/features that iGotSpots puts into his coins.
He seems to actually care about the future of his coins. (Even though I do not mine either, I respect his dedication)

Maybe someone could convince iGotSpots to add diamonds to his exchange and use DMD as the payment method?
Buy gold/silver/copper/diamonds with SPT/CPR/DMD......sounds good to me.   

haha yes, ive tried numerous times to get bytecoin onto places and every person has asked why should i add the coin? is there any dev support? is it secure and maintained?

So the coin needs a team! Excelent idea...

but the developers are not needed for anything of that (except new features built into clients, and let's face it: most clients all feel the same without any new features except maybe messages embedded in the transactions).
you don't need a takeover to ask service providers to accept payments in DMD... service providers are not (at least most of them should not be if you want a healthy economy) the same people as the coin developers.

EDIT: I agree that you need them to be present and active for people to have any confidence on the coin, I was just wondering what tasks would they have to perform that cannot be performed by other people interested in the coin

new services, promotion, community support, new features built into clients. These things seperate one coin from the other

hi! would you please explain what do you mean by "managing a coin" or "providing support"? I really don't know what tasks are required or expected...
One would be updating checkpoints in the client. What else?
You don't need the devs for setting up a pool or asking an exchange to support the coin.
If there are no bugs that need fixing, what other support do you need that you can't do yourself (not you personally, I mean members of the community without the programming skills involved in updating the client and without access to the github account to make an "official" new client)?

I'm a software developer and I could add a checkpoint to a source code, but I'd really like to know what are you expecting from the devs.

cheers!
gatra

ill skype him, see if he replies

I know Ahmed! I conntacted that person you told me to, but no response... Maybe it would be wise if you try..

id be willing to help out, but i would like to collaborate with a few people

Can somebody please ask some trustworthy devs if they would be interested? I sent PM to few PPL but no response yet. Also wouldnt be a bad idea to PM JohnLuc and ask of him nicely again to organize the handover if he doesnt want to continue..

And I have no idea what would happen to the coins in a wallet, it does metter a little, but primarily I would like to save a coin..

Yes, for sure, great name and good design.

Full blockchain restart?  what will that mean for the coins in my wallet? they vanish?

I can't really help - I have no Idea about managing a coin.

I would consider buying back in/mining some if it was being looked after by someone.

Well i have been supporting this coin almost since start, and it makes me sad the way it is right now.
I dont think that a full restart would be necessary, but i totally agree that a new version of the client with checkpoints to make this the start of a new Diamond Coin. I can help with the pool and that stuff, so tell me if i can help with anything else!

BUMP!

id help you guys out with the dev work but im overloaded with the work on bytecoin and tenebrix, if any of you guys want to join forces and we can take care of all 3 coins then id be glad to help

Well, that's a pretty stupid way for a developer to behave.

I sold mine because there was no support and the price and confidence where plummeting, all it needed was some interaction from the dev, and I would of held instead.

I don't think there should be a reset or anything - just someone actively looking out for diamond with it's (and it's users) best interests in mind.
