can we have a vote for coins that made the list which we DONT want to help? some real crap on there and seems silly to offer help to them all whn there are much better coins out there. Coins like 66coin and duckduckcoin are just jokes and the idea that resources will be offered and then poured into them if they accept before other much more deserving coins (like datacoin) is not good management imho Undecided

I think we should just get people proposing coins here and we try to see how we can help. From there we can see how it develops.

I think that's a better idea than trying to taking over another Dev's coin, even if it appears dead. You may still get the coin in the end but I can think of a few that seem to just need some help and not necessarily a hostile take over.

I browsed through my wallets and loaded up a few to see where they stand. Good, bad or otherwise here's a few that I have sitting idle waiting on help...

OneMillionCoin
Original thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=558262.0
Attempted Takeover Thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=572515.0
Status : Last block shows as yesterday (05/07) but wallet now shows out of sync with three active connections. Dev was actively seeking help from the community in takeover thread.

8Coin
Relaunch Thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=506301.0
Status : Never knew of the original one but I picked up on the relaunch. Interesting concept similar to 42. Wallet syncs up and everything seems to work but it appears to just lack attention/marketing.

BitGold
Original Thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524648.0
Status : Wallet no longer syncs up and those interested seem to have pulled their miners. Has a pool still mining to support the blockchain so apparently it's a Windows wallet issue only. Dev apparently didn't get the initial support needed to really give this coin a chance but there still seems to be a loyal following that think it has potential.

Those are just a few I have sitting here that look like they could use some help and maybe have potential. For the record, I have no large stash of any one of these but saw some potential so I pointed my miner at them for a while.
