Ensure that mining is well understood and easy to set up even for the most newbie in the crypto business and the coin will sky rocket

Now it's pretty easy to setup xpool\gpool miner on Windows. Am I wrong?

Starting a faucet might be good. That is always attractive for beginners.

Do you have any devs (or maybe yourself) who can start faucet? Of course it will be rewarded.

Considering the relatively high cost of storing data in the chain and the fact that there are several cloud service offering few gigabytes of free space (but they can close your account, someone can hack the account ... so may not be so secure, though "good enough" for most people), the storage needs to be specialized.

One idea could be sort of connecting/interacting with tor, providing sort of DNS for TOR hidden services (mapping from some nice names to hidden service names abcdefghijkl.onion), or even normal services (IPv4/IPv6's) for countries with less favorable censorship laws.

It would work by storing special packet with DNS record, signed by private wallet key (it may be implicitly signed by the coin sender, but this may not be always what is wanted, for example if transaction is paid from some web wallet service or someone else).
Updates to DNS would mean republishing a new DNS record to replace the old one. It has to be signed by the same private key.

Optionally, the DNS record could also list wallet addresses (thereby defining private keys that can sign it), that can also update the records (i.e. create replacement records) for that domain - if such records are present, then management of the domain can be delegated to other people. Possibly it could be possible to delegate only part of a subdomain, like only "mail" subdomain to someone else.

So for example, if my address is DJEM5aC9TpuNf1SShV5ESdExKu2nGQH7sP and I want to register domain "singula.data" pointing to some hidden service in TOR, the record could look like:

Code:

DOMAIN|name=singula.data|address=zbcdefghijklmnoq.onion|owner=DJEM5aC9TpuNf1SShV5ESdExKu2nGQH7sP|delegation:mail.singula.data=(address of friend managing the mail server)

... and the whole will be signed by my private key (private key for my address DJEM5aC9TpuNf1SShV5ESdExKu2nGQH7sP)

Simple records would likely would fit into 1 Kb with the signature, so the cost would be 0.1 DTC

When resolving, you must unfortunately go from first block, find first record, then move up to see if there are replacement records and if they are correctly signed. Though you have to do the same for ordinary transactions

Domain records are short, so it would not cost a fortune to put these records in the blockchain (though unlike traditional DNS, you have to pay for updates) and may be a nice alternative to traditional DNS.

If you look into Datacoin git, you can see that HTTP server is under active development, so it will be pretty easy to store\receive data and make other actions with help of simple HTTP requests\responses, encryption can be also included. In future TOR can also be included into the network - as soon as we get developer who knows TOR well, we can work at that.

hmmm, Well i am not too good at ideas. And honestly i am still pretty new to this crypto coin shit..
but something i would like to see out of a coin like this. Would be to team up with a cloud site.

Trade DTC for time on a cloud site = mine DTC with their cpu. ( you could mine anything but just staying DTC). There are alot of cpu coins lately.

More and more people are wanting Cloud service. So if they can use DTC for cloud time. Would bring up the price. And would
make DTC wanted outside the average crypto groups.

Honestly remember, I don't know what you are looking for in ideas. Just my thought. I can't mine this with my laptop. And if i remember this coin is about data storage. And using cloud hold your cpu miners is kinda like that right?

Do you mean renting miner's CPUs for Datacoin?

Quote from: Findus on January 04, 2014, 10:26:12 AM

How about a website that gives away small amount of DTC for clicking on adds. The giveaway would be financed by the adds revenues, and that would distribute the stakes of datacoin on more people.

The same answer as for faucet, look above

Add a new tab to the client named "file browser" where you can see all the files uploaded and you can upload files. And for the name support add an other db file and an online blockchain will be used so the client not have to download the chain (for saving space). And add "Private messages" option to send message to a selected people.

It will be released with major GUI changes - with new wallet you'll be able to upload\download data, browse files, etc directly from its GUI.

You should make bounties for people to make youtube videos on how to get data coin, sell data coin, the facts behind data coin, and just some good info and support videos for those who are just getting started I think it would grow interest and increase the knowledge of current data coin users.

There is also 'bounties' thread, but if you think that Youtube rewards should be separate... hmm, I'll think about that.

This is a simple idea, but I think necessary.

missing "," no currency in their wallets that implements

example: 25000000.325, is easy to make mistakes with many zeros

haha, cool

Thanks for ideas to all! As you see, anyone with strong developer skills and free time can come to this thread, pick up an idea that is not in official development right now and start creating his own project. It's really awesome, many thanks to all posters!!
