I know the original intention was to make it out to be like the gold rush.  However, selling it as being in a gold rush still would be like selling bags of sand and saying people can pan the sand for gold.  We're not in the gold rush and alt boom that we were years ago.  So tying this project to that mentality seems a little off for me personally.  So the other option is to try to tie it to actual precious metals, which was actually a selling point for this coin at one point with a PM merchant that was taking KDC.

Either way, I don't like the PM/gold rush brand for this.  It's restricting, and it puts us in a place where we have to conform to a specific micro-niche.  That may work for some coins, but doing that with a near-dead 4yo coin might put us right back where we are.  Not to say it can't be done if that's what everyone wants to do, but I just don't see the benefit of shoehorning us into that mold.

I'd need to start a new thread.  I doubt the mods would allow me to take over this one.  I reached out to the original dev a few years back to see if he/she would turn over the login info for the accounts, but I never heard back.

gpu algo change ok, so we can mine with gpu, rebranding, well rebranding to what, same as new coin, then start a new coin, maybe rebranding is ok and maybe is not, i dont know where are the other holders of this coin?

The more I think about it, the more I think I want to go the route of using the codebase we use with AUR.  The multi-algo codebase we use has proven solid since we implemented it more than a year ago.  This would allow anyone really to mine KDC, regardless of hardware type.  Additionally, it would be an easy way to transition all of the work we've put in already into place there into this project in a very quick way.

Sounds like most people just want to keep the KDC name, but honestly, I hope there is anyone out there that is really great at marketing and developing the adoption for this micro-niche brand.

If anyone has any objections to the AUR codebase port, let me know.  Otherwise, I'll get started on the change-over.

P.S.- Holy KDC price, Batman.

Fine for me. Sounds like you know what you are going to do in terms of algo/codebase.

Don't thick Klondike/Gold is a niche-brand when it comes to crypto currencies. Gold stands for value, independence and anonymity, better than national controlled cash. All what crypto currencies want to be. Combining this image with modern technology isn't the worst idea imo.

Would be great if we get somehow access to this thread, github account, website, twitter, FB ... someone tried to contact old devs?

what do you think about masternode? i see for new shitcoin 3btc price, 1 masternode - 1000 coins, so this can pump the price since everyone wants a masternode

1000% serious.  I don't know how many times I've heard "we should do this because X coin did this and it's worth Y amount more" ... "we should decrease the total supply/mining rewards" ... "we should implement CPU only algorithms because XMR is blowing up in price" ... "we should get on X exchange because there's a ton more volume and pump groups are there".

I'm not going to implement features just for the end goal of pumping the price.  Any development done by me will be for the sole purpose of making sure the blockchain functions properly, and the coin could be used for whatever end purpose it's going to be used for.

It will keep syncing, don't worry.  The current difficulty algo will take a wild swing down into low difficulty and then someone will insta-mine like 10-20 blocks like nothing, sending the difficulty through the roof.  When this happens, the wallet says the last block was X hours ago because there aren't enough miners to crack those high blocks.  Sometimes it hits a day a more if the swing is bad enough.

All this will be ironed out in any code change we make.  Ultimately, we just need to get off of 4yo code that had no mitigation for ASICs and jump pools.

When the time comes to market the new changes, that would be awesome.  I'm not a marketing guru.  Hell, I don't even really like social media... so any help later on in these areas would be beneficial.  However, we've got a while to go before we need to start advertising.

I'll circle back around and find you when the time is right.

KDC straddles the line between an abandoned, dead coin, and something that could be brought back as one of the original LTC clone altcoins from back in the day.

1. 4yo wallet, there may be a pool out there, but I'm guessing most mine directly off the wallet.
2. Scrypt
3. Counting me, 1.  Maybe more if the rest of the Criptoe team want to work on this.
4. Still in planning phases, possible coding to start soon.
5. There's no roadmap, and this coin doesn't need a whitepaper.  It's a 4yo LTC clone from the altcoin boom era.  There's nothing technically worthy of a whitepaper here.
