Hello,

Thank you for you suggestion, but the idea is to have a simpler, yet funny logo. You wrote FAIL twice in yours, which is not needed. You can see all sugestions in this thread: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1555342.0

Thanks again,
Spartak

Hello,

We have some news for you. About a week ago I posted this:


Now I'm going reveal some things (though I will not mention names). A famous bitcointalk user contacted me more than a month ago and he wanted us to talk about something. It was later revealed that he and number of other people are planning to launch a project, which can indeed have a huge impact to the world of cryptocurrencies. We first started to get to know each other, talked about life, beer and pretty much everything. At a later time he told me that he is following FAIL and that he liked our honesty (his words, not mine). He wanted us to get involved in the marketing of their project and we first shared some opinions and discussed some strategies. I'll be honest with you and I will tell you that I was pretty excited, because he also offered FAIL (as a cryptocurrency) to join the project  and promised help (for the coding part). I also shared some of the stuff with part of our team and I was thinking that our struggling will finally over, but all of this turned out to be a utter bullshit...

I've discovered that a guy with some background in scams is involved in their project and he then started babbling (not sure if I have to use this word) when I shared my concerns with him. He agreed with me and he talked with some other guy from their team, but after that he started to talk nonsenses. I was invited, because I can spot the scams, he just wanted to chat with me and some other yada yada, which I honestly don't remember.

Bottom line is that we continue on our own!

I haven't heard from pnoch in the past 5-6 days so I assume we have no news (except that the 32 bit version is ready) regarding development of our new wallet. We will release the wallet once we are sure that we have Win 32, 64 bit and OSX working versions.

We continue to accept votes/proposals on/about our new FaiLCommunity logo. The thread is here: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1555342.0. Few hours ago I talked with our designer Isaac, but he will be probably inactive for some time as he is now in the Netherlands to study.

Finally, I would like to point out that the hosting of our block explorer expired 37 days ago and I'm not sure how to express my gratitude to fairglu (CryptoID's owner) who is still keeping it alive... Personally I am flat broke and currently I can't afford to pay about the hosting, but if some of you want to help, here is the way:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/fail/
BTC: 1BBhk24CBNZqixmcrgJMg9pdqtHHNdhiwS

P.S. FAIL team members are FORBIDDEN to send funds to that address! All of you did enough!
P.S.2. The guy/s who want to help can send me a PM with the amount/s and I'll try to make it up on a later time.

Best regards,
Spartak Tomanov

     

Bud, we need to keep it going. I've got some BTC spare, let me know how much is needed.

You said the below:


You have done more than enough! I'm willing to help! Also I may be able to get another block explorer up for us......just waiting to hear back of the guy but not heard off him for about a month!!

Ok bud, but any issues come too me  

Take care

Hello,

Yesterday I had a conversation with our lead developer Panoch and we discussed the PoS part of FAIL. He insisted that our next release must be worthwhile and that is why we are going to try to put as much of the latest tech as we can. In the last few days I am researching VeriCoin, while Panoch thinks we should use BlackCoin's fork. Here comes the bad part, there is a 99.9% chance for FAIL to be hard forked. I am thinking about a way (which I still haven't discussed with our team members) to avoid that, but as of now there is nothing worthy to be shared with you and ask about opinions.

Today is the 25th birthday of the World Wide Web. You can tweet to https://twitter.com/timberners_lee (the inventor) to express your gratitude, or you can just retweed ours: https://twitter.com/FAILCommunity/status/767998927891234816

Now something about our current situation.

The hashrate (as we speak) of FAIL is 1.58 MH. I'm not sure what to say about that. There are a lot people out there with some dusty gridseeds, which have low electricity costs. What are you waiting for? We are going to make the new release and we are going to try develop our cryptocurrency and community with or without you. That I could guarantee! But you are making things harder! Its not all about profits and that is why we are at the current situation. Put some hashrate, help us, and who knows... you may make some ROI. At least you will try and isn't what cryptocurrencies are all about? Working/helping for a greater (than us) good?   

The situation with the block explorer is pretty much the same. Only one donation (from an indonesian member of the FailCommunity FB group), worth 0.005 BTC was made. Personally I have send more than 1 million coins (which represents like 4.8% of the entire supply) for free. Probably 20-30% of them to people, which were late for the swap and I wasn't even asking them for proofs. We can pay for the explorer, its not a big issue, but I think we should see some efforts from other holders or just people who like us for some reason. Would you rather us to make a team meeting, discuss some "marketing" strategies, buy 150 accounts, pay for exchanges and reap as much money as we can? Then we could just say "Oh, well... it was a FailCoin after all."... I'd rather die (so does any of our team members... for that I'm sure...)!!!

Here's the link to the explorer: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/fail/
Here's the Bitcoin address: 1BBhk24CBNZqixmcrgJMg9pdqtHHNdhiwS

We are still trying to create our new FailCommunity logo: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1555342.0. I will repeat to those of you who forgot (or just don't care) that we are going to try to develop ourselves as a community with a cryptocurrency. FAIL has its niche (look at the FailArmy channel on YouTube - over 11.3 million subscribers and 3+ billion views) so don't rule us out.

Thank you for your time,
Spartak
