I would strongly advise that you consider what you're doing a little more deeply. We're currently in this manic phase of new alt-coins, where every idea, ranging from the *very* few good/interesting ideas, to the irrelevant tweak/scam-coins, gets a day or three in the sun. It's clear that 99+% of the alt coins out there will not last, and that almost definitely includes what many would consider some of the top alts today.

The damage to crypto-currency in general caused by the current alt-mania is non-trivial. The existence of non-technically-interesting alt coins gives credence to the crypto-currency naysayers who insist that the entire space is a flash in the pan because alts prove you can't have digital scarcity. We only play into the hands of this argument by supporting alts.

I'm a firm believer that we'll only end up with 3 or 4 coins long-term (and we have *no idea* which those are going to be yet) and that they'll serve distinct market niches due to meaningful technical differentiation. This situation would actually be somewhat analogous to how the precious metals markets developed; there are only a few that carry non-industrial value.

I just hope that leading companies in the crypto space *do* consider these meta-dynamics and aren't just looking for short-run boosts to their own userbase at the expense of the long-run health of the entire community.

Choose wisely.

Hive is a supporter of Token Neutrality:

• We do not believe it appropriate that wallet makers hold bias towards one token or another.
• We find arguments for artificial digital scarcity well-reasoned, but ultimately delusional.

No doubt the semantic framing of this topic is responsible for most of the confusion. If one swaps the word 'currency' for 'shares' as Daniel and Stan of Clan Larimer have been suggesting, things look quite a bit different. These two brilliant pieces are recommended reading for everyone:

http://bitshares.org/a-bitrose-by-any-other-name/
http://bitshares.org/the-end-of-cryptomoney/

We at Hive agree that so-called crypto-currency is not money—even if it can be used that way, and even if it is sometimes convenient to describe it that way. We're actively working on our language, but let me be crystal-clear about that perspective now.

I know that $1,000,000/BTC was an exit strategy for a handful of people, but there's nary a prayer of it playing out that way. We of Earth love our novelty, and I in particular find the idea of artificial digital scarcity so painfully fucking boring that I'm going to spend my time making your world view more difficult to sustain, as both a career and a hobby.


So...how's HIve doing now, one might ask?

Guess pretentious jerks who don't understand crypto *do* get what they deserve sometimes.

All I can really suggest for a smart pick is Monero.

Hello! I was hoping you might consider including SolarCoin. We are moving to 100% PoS in 3-4 weeks at which time the public mining phase is over and coins in circulation will only increase as people who generate solar power begin to claim their coins on a 1 SolarCoin = 1 MWh basis. In essence, we are building a currency backed by electricity. The vast majority of SolarCoin enthusiasts are interested in a wallet that can be accessed with their smart phones in order to begin spending their coins and convincing merchants to accept it. The solution you provide would seem to fit the bill perfectly. Smiley

We have had the honour of the Cannacoin team acting as our developers for the algorithm changes that are currently under way and they are very good at what they do. I will mention this to them to see if it is something they would be willing to help us implement. Cannacoin would also be a great addition IMHO given their current strategy of building applications that are of use to all cannabis related altcoins out there.

Here are some links if you would like to read more about SolarCoin and Cannacoin:

The Team at CannabisCoin would like to kindly ask you guys to consider a 'Real World' use coin such as CannabisCoin - CANN
We have goods to sell, and there's more bees that want this honey!

Main thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cannabiscoin-cannx11official-unmoderated-general-discussions-661885


Once again, we are still asking with open arms to make another breakthrough for crypto by supporting CANN.  Make history.

How many of you guys have dev teams that could add the necessary support to Hive?

If you have a blockchain-style API and a decent JavaScript programmer at your disposal, you should be able to knock out support for this in a day. Then we'll make it pretty and merge it all back in.

https://github.com/hivewallet/hive-js

hive-js is the backbone of Hive Web, Hive iOS and some other forthcoming platforms, so if support exists there, we can get it onto mobile devices.

blockchain style api is not a problem - which pieces do we need? just their simple query api, or do you need the Data API?

We'll set our JS devs on hive-js right away. Smiley

Thanks y'all!

Well cann is one of the coins what make there words real. They dont talk nonsense, only facts..
No hidden / secret things, all simple facts are showed with proves.



..k

what are the facts? "cannt" see them? :-)

just tell us the facts, and show us some proof.

the whole world is waiting, what are your arguments for cannabiscoin?
doesnt see anything exiting about this coin the last 2 weeks, just hype and dump.

where was the never ending progress in the last 2 weeks?

just pics and words, and the absence of evidence!

this coin has no future, if i "cann" buy MMJ with dollars, there are so many growers with good MMJ and they sell it 4 dollars.
cannt see the innovation here, nothing more then forcing somebody to pay with coins.
a rather bad marketing concept, just look at the competitors.
and you see what you get without the force to buy cann coin first.
stay realistic nothing more than a forced market layer, its getting old, really old


If you see no difference then you are blind... Then must be your opinion to cryptocurrencies: there is not a single coin out there only bitcoin...

Cheers all for the suggestions.

We've just gotten our iOS release out the door and will report back here with more news on new tokens soon.

I think Hive should support CANN and URO, both real-world backed cryptocurrencies.

Nuro would be happy to support CANN once the CANN team finalizes their pegging policies transparently and either gets on BlockCypher (trust me - its so worth it - saved me at least 2 weeks in dev time, and is saving me about 5 hours a week in server maintenance) or a similar API service like APICoin or ReddAPI.

More info about Nuro is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nuro-a-revolutionary-wallet-modeled-after-traditional-internet-banking-uis-739689

Nuro is 100% open-source so security and safety can be vetted by all.

Nuro works on any (up to date) browser and all (modern) mobile devices, because it is built using standards compliant HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, along with Intel App Framework/Apache Cordova for native app store distribution and native look/feel/performance.
