We can no longer get in contact with Orangecoindev - he has permissions on the CFC2 github, which is an entirely different build from CFC1.

No need to be alarmed, bud - It's a paid collaboration. Necessary updates are being performed on CFC2 to get it where it needs to go. It's not abandoned, but still needs a capable party with dedicated time and resources than can put us back on track.

The update you're looking for was posted by Matory. His group is now leading the development from this point on; Test was stepping in during my absence. Any questions about the coin can be directed towards Matory

Thank you, message sent. I have a soft spot for HBN; that is the coin that initially taught me about POS.

POS started on June 30. We're in search of a good, reputable programmer that can interpret our POS situation. POS has kicked in, but blocks aren't coming in as quick as they're supposed to. I've got a few theories as to why, but I'll pitch those to the programmer when we find one. Haphazardly changing lines of code won't cut it. We need someone that understands what's happening, before switching off POW.

The bounties are posted and will get crossed-out as they get filled. Unless the community's made any significant progress or contributions, there's nothing to report right now. Bear in mind, I am the "community lead", not a "dev". I lead and manage the community's efforts and line the pockets of those who contribute to the cause because we have no central developer any longer. If you've got anything to contribute, roger-up, and I'll make sure you're compensated for your efforts. In other words, you or anyone else has just as much of an influence on the progress, development, and value of CoffeeCoin as I do, if not more. There's no rule that says a community member can't buy a ton of CFC2 at a low price, then release an incredible update or side-project that greatly increases the overall price and value of his/her holdings. Having "skin in the game" is quite a different experience than sitting on the sidelines and is a wonderful motivator.

If you've got an awesome idea or a project in the works, share it with us all, and we (as in the community) will try to make that happen.

In reference to what?

Can any of our awesome Mac users verify if this works with no issues?

He's referring to the Foundation wallet and all the unclaimed coins from the swap. They can be tracked http://chainz.cryptoid.info/cfc2/address.dws?CKTYrLyaHw4cbB64QVKBWUJeJTrvyb85hU.htm

It's the same address as my signature.

That PPC delisting caught me by surprise too. PPC is still chugging along happily with 8366PPC/19BTC volume on BTC-E alone, so it's not even going to phase it. It makes you question what their motives really are for listing in the first place.

That's a shame, I was really hoping for some good-spirited competition

This is 100% true. Community demand is one of the criteria by which they judge.

That depends on your definition of "dead". If by "dead" you mean it doesn't offer fast-paced short-term profits, (i.e. pump and dump) then sure, it's as dead as a doorknob for the moment. If you mean "dead" as in long-term developmental efforts have ceased, you are greatly mistaken. Honestly, I'd much rather see CFC2 distance itself from such an illegitimate scheme as a "pump and dump" and see it evolve into an economical powerhouse recognized for its stability and inherent value. As said in the OP, coffee is the second highest traded commodity right behind crude oil. The potential for massive gains is there, but a majority of crypto traders aren't interested in long-term holdings and profits. That mentality is usually reserved for actual publicly traded securities. One day worldwide laws and entities may encroach on the trading practices of crytocurrency exchanges to the point where only legitimate coins will prevail and law forbids the creation of scam coins and pump and dumps. Until that day, the plan to develop the infrastructure of CFC2 in preparation of that revolution remains in effect.


Our "premine" was distributed to the community to alleviate the shortcomings of our former software client, so it's not technically a "premine". As for the unclaimed coins, those are considered a "donation" by those that didn't want their coins or failed to make the deadline through no fault of my own efforts. That donation is publicly traceable through the Foundation wallet address, and a public ledger will be made available to the community because they are, in fact, the community's coins. As a matter of principle, a single satoshi will not be spent on something that doesn't add value to CoffeeCoin unless approved by the community.

Now that CoffeeCoin has a decent foundation, (at least better than before) a good, solid team with sufficient manpower is definitely what it needs. I sent their community liaison a PM.

Making progress, boss. We've completed all of our CFC1->CFC2 swaps this past Monday and using the unclaimed funds to spur development in our most needed areas. I ask that you guys give us some time to make the magic happen. 

Moving Forward...

All swap phases are complete, and its time to make some progress. I've cleaned up the OP and relocated a couple things. The bounty list has been updated with various decent rewards to satisfy our needs and moved up for visibility. The remaining funds have also been consolidated into the Foundation fund http://chainz.cryptoid.info/cfc2/address.dws?CKTYrLyaHw4cbB64QVKBWUJeJTrvyb85hU.htm As far as the Bittrex situation goes, let's get some community involvement going and tell them how we feel about CFC2! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=635824.0 In addition to voting on the popular exchanges, if you all want to see your CoffeeCoin holdings shoot to the moon, then let's band together and make that happen!

All swaps are over, everyone should now be updated to 2.0.1 by now. We've got 15,467,228.46 in the master wallet left unclaimed. As I've pointed out before, even if we were to destroy what's left, they would re-enter the money supply eventually due to the inflationary nature of POS coins. I'd like to get some input on possible uses for the remaining coins i.e. load into faucet, use for bounties, save it in Foundation wallet, etc. I'm not particularly fond of giveaways; that promotes dumping, and we don't want that. Perhaps there are skilled individuals out there that would like to put their talents to use and claim a portion of it. I'd like to put some feelers out there to see what direction the community would like to go.

On the POW/POS front, we're going to have to outsource again as our original coder is difficult to get ahold of. In between work and school, it's been difficult to devote manhours to CFC2 lately, so I'll be getting with some of those sources as soon as I have time.

I still have plans to load Starbucks cards for CFC2 but we need a payment processor to make the process go smoothly (hint: vote here https://coinpayments.net   ). Note that these cards are country specific, and every country doesn't provide the same type of card-based services (eGift, for example), so the options will be limited.

Sent you a PM.

No worries, we've been down there before. It's probably just someone that recently received their claim that wants out of CFC2.

I've hired on some extra help in the marketing department since my schedule has been really busy as of late. I hope to have some good news to you all soon in regards to POS sustainability and POW removal.

I assure you, it is. Have some patience  If you check the block explorer here: http://chainz.cryptoid.info/cfc2/#!extraction you'll see that POS blocks are coming in, just slowly in comparison to POW. As I've said before, I'm going to get with the coder about that when I can get ahold of him.
