Hello folks!
I think it might just the right time to get back to my favourite coin and help a bit!
Those who are longer here may remember my pizzas, tips ticker and graphics stuff- if anything of such kind is needed- I can provide.

*tips fedora*

Merry Christmas.

Maybe the people who can pass our Mintpal dbase KARMA wallet  is waiting for us to offer some kind of "donation" for their "legal fee"

what do you think gusy? I think we should not let 2014 end without at least getting that DASE safe in  community hand??.

Hello all,

Sorry for the silence but we are all very busy to get things working again for Karma. We are not completed yet but here is what we have done so far.

- created a new permanent home for the Karma Website @ www.givekarma.net sponsored by Swiss Cryptotech
- the old Website karmacoin.me has been forwarded to the new homepage (Thanks to BitWho talking care of that)
- We have added the Karma BlockExplorer original from socoban and linked it in the website
- Current Wallet versions 0.8.6.5 are available for download

What is coming next: (not in any specific order)
- small improvements to the Karma BlockExplorer incl. documentation (so everyone can use it for themselves)
- new Wallet's incl. 32/64bit Linux Wallet
- Karma API
- Social Media Tipping Bot

And of course all this is not possible without the help of the Community!

What we are looking for:

1. Karma Bloggers / Content writer for and about Karma related topics on the new Website
2. Karma Forum Admin who takes care of the new Karma Forum (phpBB based).
3. Maybe a web-/graphic designer who creates some nice picture for the Website

so if you are interested please drop me a message.

Thanks again for your patience
best,
scryptminer

I think most people are  happy to go with the V1 balances. Using the V2 balances seems like a lot more work for very little extra benefit. I was one of the first people who was able to actually trade on V2 and as socoban said (and I agree) there were very few trades done before the whole thing blew up in everyone's faces.

Good job. I should looking forward for your team do next

The clam coin source code is available here.

The clam coin thread is at this link (CLAMs is trading on poloniex).

There is also a thread discussing various techniques of doing snapshots here.

me too I test sent coins from mintpal to my wallet and got "completed" with the txID

08555300c9f48ac6fd26d6a3789efe3b1932fba26638d729cb5b249164385e4c

but neither the transaction nor the coins have shown up.
we may need to contact mintpal and make sure they are using the correct COIND

Has anyone withdrawn karma, or ltc, successfully from mintpal?
My ballense seems to be correct,  but haven't tried to withdraw...

And keep the coins in your wallets.

Go away... *kosmost raised KARM to 600+/- satoshi

YES we can AND that is something Andre, Perica and I have been discussing -- the idea of establishing multi-continent, redundant checkpointing nodes as well as the websites replication and redundancy.   They would run the EU servers and we would run the US infrastructure.

Trust me you WANT the wallets to be built by someone with good intentions.

Strength in Numbers Foundation has committed to doing source-code scanning (dynamic and static using a tool like HP's Fortify) for the wallets we will build.  Also malware scanning and digital signature services.

We would like to blend in the work that Clean Water Coin has recently done with its new wallet by adding a "Donation" tab and a nominal transaction that benefits the on-going support.  But that's up to the Board of Stakeholders to decide and approve.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are back



It took a lot more work than I ever planned on doing when I first created fedoracha.in, so if you'd like to encourage me to keep it up, donations are welcome at the address available at the bottom of the page.

Check out all donations that have made to fedoracha.in by clicking on the address at the bottom of the page to see what others have donated!

Okay beta insight blockexplorer up at insight.chainexplorer.info it's finally sort-of working so I wanted to share it with you guys. I'll work out the kinks soon.

*edit - It's barely working. Well shoot.

Bitwho-

Thank you for engaging in a thoughtful and open dialogue.  I appreciate and welcome the questions and will do my best to answer them.

I've been writing code since just pre Apple ][+ days.  I've written compilers and runtime systems, hold or contributed to several patents, and lately since getting an MBA have been doing a tour of duty through a variety of industries.  I built an ISP from just three analog phone lines (1 x 28.8k upstream and 2 x 14.4k for customers!) up through six acquisitions and one merger consolidating five data centers and taking in services via OC-12.  Including filing and becoming a licensed CLEC to offer VOIP services in MN using a Class-5 Metaswitch.  I still code to this day, preferring Python and a little PHP when necessary.

Fundamentally there is only so much hashpower chasing too many coins.  We are already seeing the very beginning of a consolidation with the AUXPOW work the Dogecoin team put in place to allow it to be merge mined along with Litecoin.  The ASICS have sucked most of the fun out of mining.  The future of crypto is in value-added services.

My interest in Karma is multi-fold.  I like the name and the marketing side of it since day one.  My own personal philosophy centers on Buddhism so the whole "karmic debt / karmic boomerang" thing appeals to me.

I took over the Givecoin when it was on the verge of falling apart as well -- partially because we had made an investment into the coinbase by acquiring shares on the open market Bittrex (we currently hold about 15% of all mined coins to date) -- as the reserve / internal currency for https://doabitofgood.com

There is a natural synergy between the two stated purposes as well as a potential to merge mine the two -- or even combine them in a new better coin.  As of right now we are still listed on Bittrex in a disabled status while we fix our broken KGW and migrate to a Proof of Stake based model which is more compatible we believe with the tenants around doing good.

Our REALLY exciting prospect at Strength in Numbers Foundation is the http://www.idcoins.org -- a coinbase for Identity and Reputation -- Karma could be a good related side chain to act as the stand in for the Reputation component.

As for the community I have a pretty good idea of what motivates them.  I have also watched with great dismay at the lack of sophistication and understanding of basic market mechanics.  Fundamentally Karma is a 'product' and a product needs a consumer base.  You cannot push the product onto the market and expect it to reward you.  You cannot impact the price by throwing more hashpower at it.

As for reimbursement, I don't need any.  I've been mining since 2010 time frame and in fact built the worlds first OCTO-BAMT system.  I have more than enough crypto-assets of my own to leverage and I have grown and sold several businesses.

What I WOULD want of the community is a bunch of "Karma Ambassadors" -- people who do outreach and build the community by getting more people involved.  Introducing our coins to groups who could use it -- create donations to get them involved -- because fundamentally we need to EXPAND the economy and create more velocity in the transactions.

Personally I would like to see the coinbase have some sensical and rational number of coins -- 92 Billion is pretty unbelievable and very few people can get their head wrapped around a number that large.

Also, I would strongly suggest the base move to a more POS based reward system for those that want to hoard coins.

Take marketing number like 10 Billion -- closer to the world population and socialize a "karma for everybody" approach.

It could become the coinbase of reputation -- but I think the current holders have to give up the fantasy that its going to magically increase in value because they want it to.

I never thought Bitcoin was the "be all end all" of crypto currencies but rather a stepping stone to something greater.  I don't think Karma is the end game either.  We can create something that actually captures peoples hearts and minds and remove as much of the taint of "get rich quick" odor so many alts suffer from.  

The coins that are going to survive have to offer something other than a currency.  Bitcoin already holds that designation.  Whatever advantage Litecoin held with a faster confirmation and a "harder algorithm" as all but evaporated.  The only thing X11,X13 et al offers is a way to "re-level the playing field for new entrants" -- nothing is immune from being turned into an ASIC.  What we need are new models of reward like "proof of storage" and others.

I hope that helps to explain my background and interest as well as some of what's top of mind for me and Karma.

Let me know what else you'd like to know?
