Re: [ANN] TAKCoin REBRANDED . TOLERANCE. ACCEPTANCE. KNOWLEDGE [TAK] is Back. SHA256
Hey guys just an update. As you know our long term plan includes TAK Hub which will be released in June. That said we're going to develop a short term plan to build some momentum over the next week/months.
We will develop a 3 month business plan and release a new one every three months. We want our supporters to see exactly what's going on behind the scenes. Our plans, our goals and reached milestones.

3 month plan - http://www.reddit.com/r/TAKcoin/comments/2166k2/takcoin_game_plan_323_630/
Hello!
I am an early supporter and holder of this coin. I was sad to see that the negative press pertaining to crypto-currencies in general had a negative impact on relations with the public figureheads we were hoping would support the coin. Obviously, for anyone who invested at higher prices during initial interest, it has been rough watching the price drop dramatically. I was betting on Takei being forward-minded and not being controlled by his public image handler, but I think that I, and many others, were expecting way too much too soon from someone who probably knows very little about the crypto currency phenomenon as a whole to begin with. The coin needed public/viral support BEFORE having his face attached to it. That was the key mistake made, and many others called it out right away, while many others of us hoped it would work out in the end with George endorsing the coin. When it didn't happen, most jumped ship. I have waited and watched with the rest of us.
As an investor, I am used to seeing companies face drawbacks as one relation or another with an important partner or customer falls by the wayside for any number of reasons. The strong companies continue working on their product, knowing that it is easier to bring a product back by re-branding or re-imaging the product, than to start from scratch (though starting from scratch is sometimes necessary if the product has foundational flaws). How the business planners and execs EXECUTE new business models and bring about positive swings in market perspective is key. That being said, I have been happy to see constant updates from this coin's public relations, but somewhat perplexed by the lack of response to posts. I am attributing it to new-investor impatience. I guess I am used to thinking in the "long term", as far as the attention span and profitability expectation thresholds of the alt-currency crowd are concerned. "Long term" here is 6 months from now. That is not a long time for a chance on making large gains on an investment. That is short term in the fiat world.
However, what these companies also realize is that during re-branding, they need to keep consumers/customers up to date on developments. This means marketing and advertising. One negative factor of alt-coins is that many small development teams are completely lacking in the types of marketing strategies used to garner attention from the crypto-crowd's widely diverse range of cultural and generational interests. Everyone wants to make money, but not everyone is willing to buy something without it having a value they can personally connect with. That is where this coin's strengths lay. I hope it can be widely marketed as such. The large follower twitter feeds are a good start, and hopefully will be handled with great care and professionalism. I have not seen anything from the devs that would lead me to believe it will be handled badly. The PR has actually been good with this coin, but the behavior of many of the early adopters has been that of penny stock holders at a Texas BBQ Penny Stock Investors Conference.
What many of these alt-coin investors don't realize, is that this whole business side of alt-coins is backwards from real-world business practices. Currently, the urge is so strong to just "get a coin out there" that it is the norm to start a coin and develop the business plan for it as it goes along, usually by the seat of a few people's pants. They are ill-equipped to handle the expectations of a few thousand investors, and likely get tired very fast of these late-night miners and red-eyed day traders constantly PMing them in the middle of the night. This is a tough business to navigate, non-profit or not. I think the head developers have handled this well in light of the large drawbacks in the beginning of the coins life-cycle.
I am waiting to see the floor. I will buy more of this coin when I see the coin bounce off the floor a time or two, and when I see the first large-scale effort from the dev teams in terms of marketing and the new coding/product enhancements that are forthcoming according to the recent announcements. I hope the Hub has the community support it will need to make things move forward.
Thanks for the string of updates and for not just dropping everything on the holders.

Great and well thought out post. Thank you.

TAK needs your help on TAK Hub. Head over to http://www.reddit.com/r/TAKcoin/comments/20xnd8/tak_hub_i_need_the_opinion_of_our_supporters/ and voice your opinion.

@Takeicoin good idea and plan.
1. Announce the release date for the platform. Like Auraracoin is doing. This will keep the buzz going.
2. Release early. You already have community. Don't lose it, if you are serious about this.
It can become really successful!

Once we have a more in depth movement plan I think we should be able to do this. Making a social network isn't the easiest thing in the world, especially with custom coding (ideas/conversations, penpal idea, privacy functions).
The development company is supposed to deliver a more specific eta to me later today.
The TAK Hub- The Future Of TAKcoin. A Human Rights Social Network.
As many of you know we are taking a different approach with TAK than any other altcoin. We find the problem with coins is that they get created and, although technically different, have no true purpose. They get initial blasts of popularity and then they fall off the face of the earth, making way for the next group of coins.
We began our acquisition phase today which netted us the twitter handle @GayMarriage, a LGBT focused handle with over 21,000 followers. This is the beginning of our human rights based networking direction and also the start of what will eventually become the true purpose of TAK. TAK Hub.
What is TAK Hub?
TAK (Tolerance, Acceptance, Knowledge) Hub is a social networking site, much like a cross between facebook and reddit. With a focus on human rights and world news, there are many unique differences that set TAK Hub apart.
1) When a person signs up they are automatically assigned "pen pals" of sorts, based on their human rights interest. (LGBT, sex equality, race equality, etc.)
2) A Social site that focuses more on finding people based on ideas and posts as opposed to names and proximity.
3) The more active a conversation is, the higher they're search ranking becomes. This part is similar to reddits upvote function.
4) Meeting people through active conversations is the focus. Finding the conversation first, before being able to go into someone's profile.
5) A posted topic has to be "acknowledged" in order to become a conversation. Meaning, until a certain amount of people deem it something to interact about, it stays as an idea. For example when a person posts no one can comment on it until a certain % of people deem it conversation worthy. This may seem harsh but it's a good way to have the whole site focus more attention on a smaller amount of conversations, thus improving connectivity, activity and efficiency. We are turning the tables on networking and making it so a large amount of people can better focus on a smaller amount of topics at a time, thus making each topic that much more important and that much more interactive. The goal of which is to draw true conclusion and perhaps reach some decision that can benefit the topic the discussion is about.
You can search for ideas or conversation.
6) People's accounts are tracked by the # of ideas and # of conversations. You can search both variables of a person but cannot search who they are following and who is following them. This is to remove the necessity for people to spam followers, as on twitter, in hopes that they follow back. It makes conversation, activity, and new ideas that much more important. You can imagine the conversation starter with the #1 conversation of the day will end up with a lot of followers. An excellent way to endorse quality posting.
How Will TAKcoin play a role?
We plan to implement some or all of the following:
a) Paid advertisements which can only be bought using TAK.
b) account levels which can be purchased with TAK (comparable to linkedin premium)
c) Other such products which require TAK
So Why Are You Acquiring High Traffic Twitter Feeds and Websites?
We plan to use these acquisitions to convert followers to future users of TAK Hub. When the time is right they will all be, in one way or another, part of our marketing force. The more we can acquire, the more users we can launch with.
What is the ETA?
This is obviously a work in progress and may change over time but the general direction of the site will not. We are currently in pre-alpha and working with a professional social networking development team with massive amounts of experience and a great portfolio. We expect to be launched anywhere from end of q2 to q3 2014.

9 EST is very late in Europe, can you announce it here earlier ? 
Lol sorry I work till 9pm, that's why
This announcement is more about providing details and transparency for our plans. The twitter account is really awesome though, it's a really incredible start to a really large goal.
As you're posting here while you still work, maybe you can send a little PM
hah it's going be a big wall of txt. I have yet to type it up. In 40 min it will go out.

Any updates? TAK dropped a lot today. Either the dev's sold out or something else happened. Im not planning on selling at a loss again.
We definitely did not sell out. We will keep accumulating as we know our development plans. I believe we'll actually have some good news later tonight.

Is this coin going anywhere, also is it true that McDonalds will accept TAK, I read it on twitter ..
It is not true that McDonalds will accept TAK lol. Those are just random people saying random things.
TAK will have a future that is different from any other crypto. We are building it around a business as opposed to building a business around it. We have very large plans, the first of which will come through sometime extremely soon.

I just noticed TAK-Qt-v0.9.1.3-Win has been released, yet the -datadir option still doesn't work. Any word on this?
This was the last report we got from the dev
im looking into the -datadir thing here too this weekend
I have a message into him for an update.

i dont hold it dearly that you construe your failure to understand what i wrote correctly into "its like speaking to a wall you", but i don't really care much. i also don't care much for your suggestions what i should or should not do, all your suggestions so far only lead me to lose money. the last thing i know of your homepage is it was taken offline since you abandoned the project when edie jumped off board (while i never heard any official statement of her that she ever was on board), and you can be sure i won't check every few minutes if its online again and if theres new content. i guess its alright, i got everything i needed to know from you now. it wasn't really that hard to answer the question.
to sum up what happened the last days for those who missed it (some asked already):
1) takeicoin project got a message of brad takei asking for not beeing affiliated with it and 5 minutes later of edie windsor lawyers wanting edie removed from the website - takeicoin immediately shuts down takeicoin twitter and the website
2) 4 hours later takeicoin tells people in the forum what happened, after i asked him to do so in IRC. he claims the takeicoin project is over and apologizes for everyone who lost money. he claims he lost money too.
3) a few hours later he claims someone wants to buy the coin and rebrand it, and makes consecutive statements about selling the coin to someone who wants to rebrand it
4) a little later he claims he wants to help the new buyers with the rebranding
5) some days later he claims he will rebrand the coin anyway "if the buyer doesn't follow through", with his own and bigger team
6) a little later after i asked him he claims the buyer didn't buy it and now he rebrands it himself with a great team and everything will be perfect
i can just say good luck with the project, i like the idea behind it, it's just not thought through well, and not prepared at all. takeicoin was launched without any preparation and endorsement of takei, and now there is a rebrand that was just thought of while the owner actually wanted to sell the coin to someone - so just a quick rush without any professional business plan or whatever. i guess the "new team" consists of the few big bagholders of takei who try to promote this coin now so they can dump their holdings sometime in the future at a smaller loss. im not saying this because im angry or anything, im just saying this because it seems very obvious to me, and i don't like to see other people lose money. don't take this personal.

Your "obvious" is wrong, as always. The most incorrect part being that the team are bagholders. I'm the only bagholder in the whole team, besides David Mckaskle who started as a regular TAK supporter.
