Great question!  

The last dev sold us the GLD domain for 1BTC because he did not have enough time to work on the project. He was not "kicked".



Then he was paid another 1BTC under the alias of Hyoshi for doing dev work for the community. Of course at the time we did not know that these two people were in fact a single individual using (at minimum) triple identities. Basically he was getting paid left and right while operating under different assumed names. Then while using this Hyoshi alias (he's also apparently thekidcoin) he again indicated in a public post that he didn't have time to to work on the project:

It was after that statement that we realized for sure we needed to secure additional developers if we wanted a stable and reliable team. The good news is I now believe to know the real life identity of this individual who is being sought by other interested parties. I am currently refusing to participate in the prosecution of this individual but must admit my patience is wearing thin.

We have now assembled a solid reliable dev team of three professionals led my akumaburn and will be releasing a fork soon. The fork will fix several bugs including the litecoin alert, the client sync issue, and the coin generation bug. The fix will also reduce annual coin output and cap supply.

Rest assured we are working day and night for the betterment of this coin. Thank you and I hope this helps answer your questions.

Thanks. That was the idea. I'm glad it's bringing entertainment to the masses.

What does this mean? Basically, this means that whatever we give our energy to makes it stronger. The advice to ignore the noise and playful multi-personality distractions is correct. It is the proper way of handling this wild west of a thread. Let's all learn how to use the ignore feature and focus on the job at hand. By following that advice myself, I can now successfully navigate this thread (and the forum as a whole) and engage in intelligent and serious conversation.

We must all now focus on making this coin stronger and widely adopted as money by the masses in the outside World. This is where we need to focus our energy and not on those that wish to disrupt our progress.

A sincere thanks to everyone productively participating in our community. It is you that will soon make the vision a reality.

Thanks Dreamwatcher. This is great! 

The July release will fix the annoying Litecoin alert as stated previously. Is will also resolve the client sync issues.

I had another idea today for the android app.  

My idea is to create a place on the official website where users can enter the phone number of their smart phone to receive a deposit of let's say 100 Goldcoins in exchange for downloading the app.

Then we'll have all these people with preloaded wallets looking for ways of trading them and using them as money. They might then begin using them for payments to each other for services like grass cutting or babysitting for example. The key is to get the coin into circulation.

If we can get the coins into circulation, the marketplaces will follow.

Client Update/Fixes Scheduled for Early July.

Thanks guys. I'll keep working to bring buyers into Cryptsy which should help with profitability. There are also plans in the works now to begin development of an Android app. Ultimately we must get this coin into the hands of the consumer.  

PM sent.

Thank you for these ideas. I will contact them both.

The community will buy the pool if someone will volunteer to manage it. Please contact me if interested.

Anyone notice the block reward is wrong on coinchoose?

The official website of Goldcoin is now online: http://www.gldcoin.com

I found this a very interesting chart. Even though we do have a long way to go, it does feel good topping the charts!  



Love you guys that are supporting us! It's the wonderful people like you that make great things in life possible. <3
