Hey Heretolearn,
I understand you are a supporter of Gridcoin, but sometimes some of the things you say may not be received well by some people.
Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reason : People are already starting to ask about it .. and its been about 3 months or more since the launch and yet no linux client ! This won't go down well with the majority of new comers who are to adopt GRC.
Solution : Either the dev can do it himself or hire someone to do it .. because it has been way too long (all other coins generally have all this sorted before launch)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This sounds like you are giving orders!!!
Rob said before that one of the programmers has left and all the workload has fallen on him. So when someone who is under pressure already with all the things
that have to be done, that may be very insulting!!
This is a very complicated project and Rob has said that he has a full time job, so it is quite a bit for him to handle.
If you want to contribute something then please do so, but do not demand or post those kind of strong worded statements.
Rob has done one hell of a job so far and he does not need someone telling him what to do or who to hire.
Things we need to get right before asking coincapmarket to put our coin there :
1) Linux client with mining capabilities
Reason : People are already starting to ask about it .. and its been about 3 months or more since the launch and yet no linux client ! This won't go down well with the majority of new comers who are to adopt GRC.
Solution : Either the dev can do it himself or hire someone to do it .. because it has been way too long (all other coins generally have all this sorted before launch)
2) More reliable block explorer
Reason : Sometimes the block explorer stalls and does not move ahead and sometimes even resets. This can result in the coin being removed from coincapmarket if its not reliable. It will result in GRC ending up to be a pump and dump coin to an extent (not entirely though ).
Solution : Maybe have 2 versions of the block explorer so that we can refer to either one when the other is down. Also a more comprehensive style block explorer is needed .. something based on ABE perhaps which can show details of the transactions and addresses when searched through it.
3) More marketing
Reason : If we get need to go big we possibly need to tell everybody about GRC .. even people we dont know.
Solution : Every member here should start sending messages to people about GRC (I'm sure many are) but we need more of it. Also tag line on the site saying something like "Green, Efficient and Useful to Society" Coin. Another thing is a small writeup in a PDF explaining how this coin has the potential to transform the way cryptocurrency exists. This should be like how Vertcoin do it on their site (for the layman but effective and short). If you guys want I could do a write up on it.
NOTE : All this needs to be done on an urgent basis because coincapmarket people are not going to put more than 100 coins on their website apparently. There are about 88 already and he has promised to put up like 5 more .. so we need to get the above done quick and asap or we might miss the bus.
Let me know if I've missed out on anything guys.
Thanks
