What if everyone made a coin for their children as they were born?
No one would be born into debt, and we would all basically be independent nations.

Also, to anyone interested, this would be an amazing guerrilla marketing technique.

ohhh so much altcoins, 10 % will survire 90% wouldnt

The point of this thread is that alt coins will start to be made with purpose. So it's not really about which current coins will stay, but which up and coming coin will leave them in the technological dust.


LTC, FTC and CGB will deffinetly survive for others i dont know. You probably asking yourself why i mentioned CGB. I am following it for a long time and i can tell you that they are many ppl interested in this coin and they are many holders

I believe in litecoin, as it has solidified a place as "bitcoin silver". I simply do not know enough about the other 2 to make a call.


Everyone has his own belivings and they think that one is the best, i have mine and i am sure cuz i am reading a lot about coins and following them for a long term
I do not "follow" any coin, and the only time I ever bought a bitcoin for USD was when they were $30 ea. I get Devcoins free, and it's the only reason I'm even involved in anything.

I'm not sharing beliefs, just letting you know: after me comes the flood.

The most successful coins will be the ones that fight for mainstream adoption. Peercoin isn't trying to be the poor man's Bitcoin, we're looking to introduce a large number of new people to crypto such as the Trekcon event:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ppc-peercoin-the-next-generation-currency-according-to-trek-convention-322818






It's not about being a "poor mans coin" it's about bringing people in board that can't or won't buy or mine coins. Which is most of the world.

All I'm saying is a lot of coins are trying to be the next Litecoin, that's not the path of the Peercoin community. We're out there making the phone calls, spending the time to explain how coins can benefit a business. The coins that sit around and argue about nerd stats that no-one outside the community cares about are in for a rude awakening when they start approaching businesses with that mentality.  I believe the top alts will make a difference.

That is a good start, but imagine if 10% of peer coin blocks mined went straight into the wallets of a telemarketing team, based on the number of phone calls they made in a month or something.

You would have advertising that drove itself. New blood would come every day for the opportunity to read a few wikis, and get paid to read them to others on the phone.

If you haves been subscribed to this thread for a while and read the first post a long time ago, might want to re-read it, just because I've added a lot since the first day I posted it.

And if anyone would like to start a chain email or something using the link to this page, please do. My email is in the first post and I will send it to my contacts.

And if you have ever wanted to run for office in your town, being the owner of a town coin that had the potential to reduce the need for taxes, would be a pretty good platform.

But will they be able to pull together in time? I have noticed several mentions to limiting the number of writers because of the shares, but that diversification is necessary for upward movement at this point in time; They have hit rock bottom, almost, just 25 satoshi's to go.

other factors I've noticed is the lack of instructions to be a recipient of devcoins, they should be able to make affiliate websites for different developer communities. Knowing who to talk to, to link the community to Devcoin could save it... I am sure there are many communities out there who would like a creative incentive system. But of course we suffer from, not I, we will wait till someone does.

I don't think they have considered limiting the number if writers, but the max number of shares a writer can get per round.

And it's not "will they pull together in time" it's "when will everyone realize they aren't shit". As soon as the value of the coin goes up, so does the rate of development.

When I said that I asked them to add payment for video and art, those were affiliate site suggestions. And again they said the only obstical was funding.

And as far as instruction I plan on making videos for all the useful alt coins soon, explaining what they are and how exactly to get them, for everyone on YouTube.

Rather than more blockchains, which are afterall a ridiculously expensive format due to the cost of protection from 51% attack and so on, the plan is to use Open Transactions to branch out the DeVCoin system into more artistic and creative fields. Various domains have been acquired toward those goals but maybe some of the delay might have been due to problems trying to get all the required domains. So a lot has already been moving behind the scenes, it was not considered a good idea to talk a lot about those efforts before securing all the relevant domains otherwise we'd likely just find domain squatters grabbing all the domains they could predict from our discussions that we would be wanting.

Maybe if all the domains have at last been secured we could finally talk about those plans...

OP

Devcoin is a very decentralized system, I have been observing it for a while now.

I have noticed that for things to move forward there are different people in charge in different places.
The website is managed by one person, the registration by another, etc. It promotes diversity by asking for others to show some initiative in creating something better, but even getting added to the list of Devcoins recipients needs to be changed.

If someone cannot create a website or a system for rating, promoting, more content to distribute Devcoins to, it will die without a doubt. There must be an easier way to get signed up to the Devcoin distribution list if one is not a writer. Someone may have to create a Micro-coin to be able to distribute coins to musicians and painters, with the accompanying website or app for sharing their creations easily to be added to their running tally.

This is exactly what I am saying. I suggested they accept other languages, and pay people to be translators and they said they just don't have the staff for that. And I suggesting adding systems to pay people for movie, book and game reviews as well as videos and art, and they said they just don't have the support.

Devtome needs MORE writers doing MORE things, so people can see the use of the system.
