Hope and I are extending an offer to the TiPS community. BitHub would be perfect for Fedora and vice verca.
I plan on having bitcoin, feathercoin and ufocoin in at the start.
Fedora could simply serve as a tipping coin on the platform as opposed to having it's BC been used for magnet link embedding if the community feels it's a concern.
Is this still possible?
I can shoot him a message on the Feathercoin Slack and let him know there's still interest. He's got ideas, some ability, possibly someone waiting in the wings with scary good ability that can pull together their shared vision and it would beat generating yet another altcoin.
The thing is, and this is super-pessimistic-very-negative-extremely-biased-inside-baseball talk coming out of me, so take it with a grain of salt, but even at such a dismal market price Fedoracoin is dormant and that's
still an improvement over coins like Feathercoin which, depending on your view, has at least one malicious dev.
Yes, I'm going to go ahead and say that
no developers is better than having a malicious one. There's opportunity to be had there, but at the same time, I'm just going to shake my head over and over and say "no no no no no no no no" for anyone that wants to dump money into it without any utility or value, building services for it, something, anything. Because if that's the case, I'm just going to say it, completely honest, you're going to lose your money over and over and over again. Sure on a spike you might get lucky and dump some at 33% over cost to some poor soul that has their trading bot set wrong, but you might as well just take your money to a craps table. You'd be better off.
The Romantic Age is over. Before is just work.
I rambled, my apologies, but basically what it comes down to is that they're not going to want to be work and effort into something if the community welcomes the next snake oil salesman into the fold that wants to pump it and then walk away with a huge chunk of the community's money, dumped on exchanges for BTC, someone else left holding the bag and fucks over the work put into it.
Like what just happened to Feathercoin, as we watch it plummet from the lower side of lower-midrange heights, when at one time it had the value that a Litecoin has now. How can they be reassured that that won't happen so that they'll give 100%? I honestly haven't a clue. Absolutely no clue.
I don't know what what controls would have to be put in place as sort of bracers in order to keep the coin and the community aligned before it can rocket away freely without micromanaging as it should be. Until then, it's going to be hard to recruit talent.
Especially with wishes and dreams and no capital. Capital that I wouldn't anyone to sink money into unless they can prove to everyone and themselves that they know what they're doing. It's a catch-22.
