As just a thought about what this coin could do, Ravencoin (and I assume Pigeoncoin by association) is intended to be built around asset transfers, at least as part of its second phase of development. I don't know all the details, but it seems like for some amount of coins, a token of some trackable quantity of whatever the asset is could be created and then managed as it transfers parties. Utilizing that idea as part of CryptoRescue seems like a perfect fit: shelters could use this coin in such a way that animals and their details are tracked through the coin to give the animals a better shot at rescue. The coin could possibly provide a real-time view into the state of the animals in need of rescue, from the time they enter the shelter to when they are adopted. That could lead to being able to better serve people looking for particular breeds easily if they have this real-time information that takes all shelters into account. Tracking information like time in shelter to adoption, species/breeds, locations more likely to adopt certain breeds at certain times of the year... that data could save the lives of animals that would otherwise be euthanized. And after an animal is adopted, they are still an asset--it could be utilized to ensure owners of the animal are properly caring for it with vet checkups, for example, or when the animal changes owners, or helping recover lost animals easily (the asset ID for an animal could easily be related to its microchip). As essentially a decentralized database of animals in shelters across distances, that could be a very powerful tool in boosting adoptions, quantifying adoption rates and hopefully simplifying work on the part of the shelters for managing the animals.

Anyway. Best of luck to however the coin plays out, I'm hoping everything works out well. If there's any coin I want to see succeed in its intended purpose, it's this one.

Great suggestions but taking into account that their three so-called 'developers' purely cloned Pigeon coin, and compiled an open source wallet (that doesn't even work unless you manually add a config file) makes me think how capable they are to do something with it.

My suggestion was to do something like another coin did to ensure donations are in fact made, eg 90% reward for the miner, 10% for the charity. That suggestion got completely ignored, maybe because its already to late for that, or maybe because those developers are not capable to make such changes. Who knows....

The amount they premined for donations (7 million) I already mined on my own, its so little in value and effort that I wonder who can be really helped with that, I call myself lucky if its worth $1000 next year. They would've been better off by pre-mining nothing and automatically sending 10% of mined coins to the charity.
