Not sure if we want to unleash this on the altcoin world, but wanted to make the community aware of the possiblity of cross-coin tipping.

Here's how it would work

1. Someone presents an address for tipping, let's say it is a FTC address.
2. You enter the FTC address in the MemoryCoin wallet send field - it converts it automatically to an MMC address.
3. Send
4. Alert the recipient - they import their FTC private key into MemoryCoin wallet.

The big potential problem is that the user may not have the private key to their address - they might be using an exchange address - then the funds are lost, or only accessible by the private key holder.

I've seen some discussion about creating a MemoryCoin lottery.

I this might be best handled by a commercial service like Isaac's gambling (is there a website for that yet?)

I think a lottery winner might dump a large number of coins on the market at the same time, so probably a bit early for it.

I think the coin will eventually be known as just MemoryCoin - just a question of when we drop the '2.0' - is it time yet?

A few weeks ago I added a 'churn' option to the software. This is designed to be run on seed nodes that are written into the software. Nodes run with this option try to maintain a list of nodes that accept incoming connections to provide to new wallets coming online. It doesn't maintain the connection with the new wallets for long, just giving the list of good nodes and disconnecting making room for new wallet. This should allow us to see rapid growth in the number of users without the synching problems we had early on. This seems to be working well and ProtoShares has also adopted this feature.

Now I'm looking for any MemoryCoin nodes that are likely to be available at a fixed ip address for a good length of time and are running with the '-churn=1' option to include in the list of default seed nodes.

Does anybody have any contacts with technical people involved with charities that would be interested? It would be better to have the charity directly involved and receiving the grant direct rather than through an intermediary.

Here's the download links for the memorycoin.msi installer - Now your grandma can pool mine.

It would be very helpful if someone could undertake any or all of these steps

1. Upload to Mega or some high capacity download site

2. Create a Tutorial with following steps -

a) Install MemoryCoin MSI
b) Click Pool Miner Button
c) Wait
d) Sell MMC on Bter for BTC

3. Post links to newbie Bitcoin sites

Also we need a new .ico file - current one looks rubbish after install.

MMC has been added to the brainwallet site -

I think these should be a big part of our marketing, although we should call them 'MemoryWallets' for obvious reasons.
