Let's not forget those who have put the time and the effort into this project.

EK needs a new car, by rallier is getting married next month, coralreefer and unvoid have bills, hopes, dreams and desires.

We need to set up a foundation to make sure that these guys (and others that have contributed) get the just rewards for their past efforts and (hopefully) for their future efforts.

We've been a great community so far, let's make sure we carry that on into the future.

Congratulations and thanks to such a great team!  :-)

I would love to buy some cheap coins so don't hesitate to dump hard, guys )

how about donate a dev fund?

I gotta admit, I always have a smirk of superiority on my face when people ask questions that imply that they think of XEL as a "regular" cryptocurrency.

Sorry for being so inactive at the moment. I don't feel like I can contribute much at the moment, neither ideas nor time.

One question regarding the hardcoded guardnodes: I still don't understand how these are determined. I get the hardcoded part, but how does one (or rather an institution, I guess?) become a guardnode in the first place?

Now, this would actually be an interesting idea, wouldn't it: if guardnodes and maybe even supernodes would be managed by universities and similar institutions, this might create a) a certain positive reputation of the project and b) incentivize those institutions to actually use the Elastic network. In any case, I'd love to get those involved. is anyone up for lobbying? I don't have contacts in that regard.

golem  : total supply 1,000,000,000 GNT
current price:$0.038/0.00003693 BTC

elastic : total supply 100,000,000 XEL
current price:?

i think you have more potential than golem

I fully agree with you. We need some PR.

This coin has a great potential, however if you do not consider spending some time and money on marketing, it will become a trash long before it is published. Please take my advice seriously and consider investing in PR.
