You stopped supporting that project but expected others to work for free?

XST is still listed on Polo. It might get a little bump from all this. It wasn't an ICO coin, so he worked for free on that. Weren't you on the team too? Why did you quit working on it?

You are reading something into what Bittrex has said. I'm trying to figure out what that is.
 

To be licensed and legal in the US you have to follow the law and have licenses. That's what they said they are doing.

And you are a second rate fudder who can't get employment elsewhere. Get a real job.

There's no pool and no sources, so I think it's good for the little guy still.

The ease with which you get your coins from the first sale makes both ethereum and lisk look like a friggin' joke.

Seriously, they had $23 M between the two of them and it was nearly impossible to get your coins.

With this coin I imported my wallet in 10 seconds. This dev makes the eth and lisk devs look incompetent.

If there had been an earthquake in Egypt they never would have discovered Tut's tomb. Did you ever think about that?

Yeah, LSK dumped to 300% the ICO price. It was horrible. To think some people made 1000% the ICO price on LSK!!!

When I spend 1 BTC, I expect to earn 10 BTC, not just 3 BTC on that 1 BTC. That's what happened to people with LISK! They only earned 3 BTC for every 1 BTC they put in!!!

 

That's really unfair.  He should get his bounties now so he can watch the value go down like everybody else.

Makes sense.

Where can I download the wallet?

I'm still around. There is lots of activity in slack, but I haven't personally participated much.

My whole intent in starting this takeover was simply to try to create a forum so that people can get organized. I know I said I would find devs, but the bull market has sucked all the talent, especially making it difficult for a project like this where we have yet to get exchanges to adopt our repository.

I believe a block explorer is close.

But, if the community would like to help, we need a clear set of objectives. Here's my working list:

1. Block explorer
2. Bring codebase up to date with ethereum itself
3. Create community controlled development escrow fund
4. Create standalone wallet that does not need a CLI to run under it
5. Create a javascript browser-side wallet and server API infrastructure to support it (I believe this can be the explorer)
6. Organize a team to orchestrate the porting things like Augur and Free my Vunk to SHF.

I call upon the community to help expand and refine the content of this list.

Please remember that Expanse pumped out of nowhere and this takeover thread was created in the heat of the moment to gather as many people as possible while this coin briefly had their attention. I had not the opportunity to plan time for this project, so I am going by the seat of my pants.

My hope is that the community will organize around a great opportunity to build this coin into something very useful and valuable. When I get from under a couple of projects, I will be able to devote more time to it and be more assertive about recruiting development talent. In the meantime, this coin has already attracted some capable developers and is making some progress.

Please join us in Slack if you would like a clearer idea of what is going on.

The explorer "promised" by AltcoinSteps will be produced for free. Remember, the previous dev spent the whole premine already. Just have patience.

If you are mad, blame the previous developer. This takeover thread was started after the price jump, not before.


Other than the explorer, what do we want to see?

This wasn't a "dev" take over. It is a community take over. It's very hard to find developers. A block explorer is being worked on right now.



Remember that the old developer claimed that the premine went to paying for a block explorer. But there was an open source explorer available the entire time.

I will try to update here before slack. Slack is very good for those who contribute more directly. But I will not shy away from bitcointalk.

Also, I will use the self moderation function only in cases of spam, NSFW, and malicious links.

It can't get any worse than when it was taken over.

I have updated the OP. We have a lot of interest and hopefully will get a block explorer soon. Slack membership is up to 13.

Daily Update

I just invited a bunch of people. My plan is to make a little progress each day, bringing people into the slack and to keep the thread moving.

I found an open source ethereum block explorer and forked it to the takeover repo. I'll find a dev to get it up and running.

These are going to be baby steps until I free up more time. The first thing I'll do is to procure a server and get the client synced on it. Then arrange to have the block explorer ported to Shift.

I have had one person contact me with knowledge of smart contracts. I have asked him if he will help set up the community-managed escrow.

Right now, it would be good to get some chatter here and in the slack. If you don't have time to participate, don't worry. Post when you can. Ask questions. I'll be here daily until we have a team together.
