I will do a block viewer.

I would need to do a bsd or linux build for the above anyway. What is it these entail?  I feel I am
missing something here.

MemoryCoin had an extremely fair launch, despite technical challenges - announced, roughly on time, all clients functional and anyone could join from minute 0 (with a little work). Technical challenges are not unreasonable with such major innovative features, namely: a brand new distributed voting system, plus automatic stakeholder controlled grants, plus cpu/memory-constrained scrypt-jane hashing. 

Yes the voting is hard to use and maybe noone fully understands it yet.  What a surprise the *brand new innovative experimental features* don't have a "1-Button For Dummies" GUI yet.

As for claiming "insta-mine"??   No. There's currently only 15000 coins minted out of 1 million+ scheduled, which is barely 3x the scheduled rate for the first 3 days, and they are widely distributed across many cpu-only miners.  Hardly an insta-mine.  A minimal level of vestment was necessary to get the voting system boot-strapped and tested.

The grant credits FreeTrade is talking about come from *FUTURE MINTED* coins, using the voting system to direct the built-in grant system -- and once there are enough proposals, the coinholders themselves will be voting on the grants.   (FreeTrade, I think you must emphasize this point, else people might assume the grants are like all those clonecoin premine stashes. They don't realize yet there's a totally new technology here.  Also it would be good to get a list of grant proposals in front of the users for voting soonest - and fixed bids are probably better than too many open-ended ones(?)).



(I'm not affiliated with this coin, just giving a fair commentary.)

Yes, thanks for your commentary. I think you might one of the only people who fully understands the voting system so far. It takes a bit of reading. I'm trying to coax people into learning about it by getting them to engage with different aspects of it.



Yes, in the long run, open ended grants are for foundations, charities, things with an ongoing purpose.

For fixed scope projects, I'd expect people to use the fixed-bid addresses. There's a learning curve there though.

I disagree with you.   That is a lousy fit.   Setting up the block viewer, is mainly a hosting cost.  This is an ongoing expense, and the one time bounty of 100 coins at a time when the coins have no known exchange rate it a much worse fit.


Again, I disagree.  It is hard at this time to give any say as to what one wants, as the market is not established, so it is equally fair to see what people will offer.    This is an open ended project.  To maintain it, without it being a loss, I would eventually require that the amount of coins had a value of around $10 a month ongoing to cover the costs once of hosting if the block chain grows a bit etc.

Speed depends on how messed up the source code is, based on the other issues posted.   If it had no issues it could be up in 10 minutes after some interest was shown.  If the code is a mess, who knows.



Was more wondering what work they would entail, why does the linux comile need a tidy?  On most coins this is not an issue, usually the windows and mac ports need the work to get them to build.
 

Alternatively, if you'd like to come on board as a developer, generally improving the code and infrastructure - I think that would be an ongoing type of grant and I'd be happy to vote for your grant award address and ask others to do so on that basis.

Do you really think that someone will create a puppet account to get 10 MEG???...I never said that the giveaways were addressed to new users of the coin. I'm aware that it cannot be checked if an address corresponds to a new user or someone having 10k MEG, but at least the coins of the grant (if obtained) would be spread over different users of the forum ( I doubt that anyones creates puppet accounts to get 10 MEG). What do you think is better: a lot of users getting some coins spreading the use of the coin or a large coinholder getting a block reward every two hours for doing nothing?
