Re: [ANN] [2GIVE] / POS+POW HYBRID CHAIN W/5% STAKING AND BLOCK CAPTURE REWARDS

As a US based 501c3 non-profit SNF is not allowed to "pay to play"

We can donate some coins to your exchange in order to help facilitate liquidity but that's about it.

Still on exchanges?

It could be but we are not allowed to "pay to play" -- we can donate 2GIVE to seed a market but we are prohibited for paying for order flow.

Seed nodes have been fully restored and checkpointing has been re-enabled.

It looks like the cadence of block confirmations has trailed off with the shrinking network size so its time to re-establish the "air-drop" system we invented that bounces blocks of coins among the SNF wallets every 10-15 minutes, dropping rewards onto the network with each send.

Looks like the SEED nodes got rebooted (US and Germany) -- putting them back online now and making sure the checkpoints are up to date!

The answer is right here:

Only 20 nodes online and three (3) of them are ours.

Re: Airdrops / Retired Coins / Become a Stakehodler

There are now 30 nodes on the network, they are unknown clients or Protocol though. Also I've seen freiexchange listed on cryptoID on the market place section on other coins and wonder if they could add that for 2GiveCoin if we message them and ask. Are you going to update Facebook & Twitter, it's been over a year or more since you've posted to them? It's better 2 Give  Cool

P.S. you should change the Original Post Subject line so people who are looking at Announcements (Altcoins) see it & not the Bittrex removal line. Changing the subject of a post only does it to that post, but it still shows the Original Post with Bittrex removal when searching Announcements & has to be changed from the OP edit subject line  Wink

Great suggestions -- will update the OP soon

Airdrops / Retired Coins / Become a Stakehodler

I put "burn" in quotes -- they are just no longer in circulation.

There is no such thing as "free money" -- if you want to earn 2GIVE you have to work for it.  Turn up a wallet and check the box "compete for block rewards" -- then stake coins to earn the inflation (aka "interest") .

[2GIVE] / SNF SEED WALLETS => AIR DROPS
by
TheLittleDuke
on 19/03/2022, 15:22:33 UTC
Any wallet that begins with "GiveCoin*" is an original SNF non-profit seed wallet and the Give2SNF* is the master "burn" wallet address that holds coins "retired" and pulled out of circulation.

During the periods of "air-drops" we bounce large blocks of coins between the nodes so that it drops the 1% fee onto the network.

That's truly "giving" in the spirit of things  :-)

Are you asking about one with a user interface ? 

The command line build works and is what is powering the seed nodes

Re: [ANN] [2GIVE] / The coin that Gives POS/POW %1 of each tx
by

I also see that CryptoID is still supporting 2Give https://chainz.cryptoid.info/2give/#

If you need someone to just keep posting on Twitter, Facebook & here to get the coin going again, I'm up for the task & think that we could still build a good following of 2Give. I just had really high hopes for the coin and hate to see it fade away, like a few of the POS coins that I supported & there chains broke from people not keeping their wallets staking...

27 peers on the network is good for being just a test coin as of late

Maybe update the subject heading to reflect the coin needing more followers to support it & take away the Bittrex statement that was ages ago...?


You're making a lot of sense. 

Will think on it a bit.  We have been considering firing up the seed node "air drop" again where were bounce blocks of coins around the network dropping the 1% rewards with each move in order to smooth out the block emit cadence. 

Alternatively we could do another "swap" and move the chain to an ERC-20 token.

Thoughts?

sad to see this coin didn't go anywhere, it has a very rare blockchain code & could have been something big Huh

I hear you -- we use it as teaching tool now at universities, meanwhile research continues on an entirely new kind of "polymorphic" blockchain

Is this coin dead?  Huh

On the exchange: https://freiexchange.com/market/2GIVE/BTC      no bidding at all

Far from it -- SNF continues to support it and is doing additional research with the chain!

We have a renewed interest in hosting a market place and will be building out a new home page for it with multiple language support likely early next year.

[ANN] [2GIVE] / SNF PLANS NEW EXCHANGE & MARKET PLACE
by
TheLittleDuke
on 11/05/2019, 12:39:58 UTC
The board met last night -- we're going to move ahead with building our own exchange based on a market place of people selling items and services for 2GIVE. Starting with 2GIVE coffee mugs and tee shirts!

We're going to upgrade the main site to a wordpress engine and will be asking for help translating the pages into other languages.

"It's Better 2GIVE!"

Even if SNF was a common enterprise (which it is not, it did not do a raise for 2GIVE but rather a swap for the existing Givecoin)

Non-Profit Entities are exempt from registration with the SEC.

My sense is that they are under a lot of pressure, either from shareholders, regulators and likely both.

bitrex and I generally don't like. there were problems with the passage of kyc, and now generally like it to work.

[ANN] [2GIVE] / Bittrex Removal / Migrate Coins to Personal Wallets / Exchanges

Dear Stakeholders:


I'm disappointed to report that Bittrex should be releasing some communications shortly that will explain their rationale for the removal of a class of coins, tokens and securities that includes 2GIVE.

I'm sorry I cannot provide more information at this time as we are under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), and I can relay that there is nothing that could be done to save the listing.

In the mean time I suggest that everyone remove their coins to their own wallets or send the coins to one of the other exchanges like

FREIEXCHANGE

https://freiexchange.com/market/2GIVE/BTC

or YoBit

https://yobit.net/en/trade/2GIVE/BTC

Strength in Numbers Foundation (SNF) will work diligently with other exchanges as well as continue its work with BTM operators around the world to provide a legal and compliant way for stakeholders access to liquidity.

Sincerely,

David V Duccini

We are once again aware of a potential delisting by Bittrex.

And once again they did not reach out to us before the notice.

We're waiting to talk to them again as we thought the matter was settled.

[ANN] [2GIVE] / Total Coinbase Under Inflation Target / SNF Reconsiders Staking
by
TheLittleDuke
on 07/05/2019, 00:26:24 UTC
To date after nearly three years of continuous staking, 2GIVE has only achieved a 520M coinbase.

This is significantly below the design target of 550M

One of the unintended consequences has been a hoarding of coins at exchanges that do not stake the coinbase on behalf of its accounts.

Strength in Numbers Foundation (SNF) voluntarily ceased staking its wallets and began the slow migration of the bulk of its holdings to an offline trust wallet prefixed Give2SNF*

The board is reconsidering it's voluntary sequestration of the original GiveCoin* wallets putting coins onto the seed node networks to re-enable staking AND re-initiating it's coin-drop distribution method of bouncing coins around the seed node networks in order to smooth out the cadence of block production.

If SNF moves forward, the coin drop will be a combination of on-network and off-network paper-wallets to be left at random locations with maps to VaultLogic BTM's on them for redemption.

Strength in Numbers Foundation, the US 501c3 non-profit that supports 2GIVE development, research and education in blockchain based distributed ledgers is pleased to announce that it has come to an agreement with Bittrex for the continued and on-going listing support for 2GIVE !

We are still negotiating with LiteBit.eu who at present time REFUSES to recognize the Bittrex decision to continue listing 2GIVE and is threatening to delist 2GIVE on April 19th.

We are asking our community members to contact LiteBit.eu
