Great work happening here it seems. What other plans do you have for okcash in 2016?
Site update was a huge task, along with Rokos Flavors expanding so well. On deck is a roadmap, no definite release date though. Still open to any ideas the community has.
Rokos crypto learning suite with a small amount of ok included so that young people and people new to crypto can experiment and learn with a real currency?
This is a great idea to implement, we already have some ROKOS tutorials and should continue to add more, so it is a great idea to continue to support all the new users to crypto.
OK is decentralized, different users from the community have different plans of projects with it,
among other things over this 2016 we will continue to improve the wallet and network,
we are looking into Self governance systems as well to establish a decentralized organization formally,
as OK works on a decentralized organized voluntary structure already, but it needs to be polished and we
need to set the logistics and system so we can work on documentation and official establishment of it,
same way will continue to work in adoption, improved documentation, new resources for different languages,
rokos developments and improvements, cross collaborations, etc, the list is endless, as every user can create,
help, support in unique ways. Development focus on maintenance and improvement of the core, so OK users can
continue to experience the efficacy of the system, not for nothing OK crypto can claim being the most efficient
Proof of Stake blockchain since 2014.
This are just some of the things devs and the community are working on for this 2016,
you can always join the ok slack at:
http://okcash.herokuapp.com to integrate into the community,
organize with other members, or just to have a good time, It's OK.
Everyone can create projects with OK and their own OK roadmaps, OK is open-source;
its design is public, nobody owns or controls OK and everyone can take part.
Q:
Thanks for your response, I have a few more questions. Can you be more specific about the ways in which the wallet and network will be improved? "developments and improvements" and "maintenance and improvement" is a bit vague. What are the projects that other community members have planned? And how do you see a dao structure helping the project?
A:Sure, developments and improvements will cover things like: POSv3 (to increase security), selfgovernance (funding for projects), wallet design improvements (like we ve been doing since OK creation, we never stop) among others.
Different community members have different projects, we are decentralized, they dont depend on the core, hence we do not track them directly,
projects the community are developing include, nodes maps, Points of sale systems, some are doing PR strategies, others continue to build faucets or systems where new OK users can gain their first OKCash, others are looking into direct integration in latin american bitcoin exchanges, among others.

Q:
From my understanding, like most projects Ok is decentralized in some ways (the protocol) and not in others (core development). At least until you form a dao. Are you still lead developer and do you intend to continue in the role? And if so do you specifically have a roadmap or new features planned for core development?
A:Kind of, OK is way more decentralized that other crypto projects, overall, that is correct, the only centralized part of OK at the moment is the
core development, we do not have foundations or centralized systems, and the same community are the real leaders, they work for OK,
just like when BTC started to develop, meaning everyone joins and works voluntary over their own terms, there are no bosses and you dont have
to ask for permission to do anything with OK.
Yes, I still am and will continue to be the Lead Developer for OKCash, there's heart in OK, I would love to continue to work with it and the community for years to come.
The only way that I would step down from lead development is by community voting, If at anytime the community feels there would be a better person to manage the core development, they could call for voting. I work hard, happy and constantly for OK, I hope the community continues to bring their amazing support, and feel comfortable with my position as lead developer.
Same way, we are not a close core, meaning that every developer interested in joining and becoming part of the project are free to do so,
It would only require community presentation, a letter on their expected goals and small resume on why would you like to join the core, background/skills check and community voting.
We have already started talking about logistics with some community members and we want to develop a voting system
(for more formal community decision making) and will look for integration with self governance, so we can cut human interaction in the system to make it self sustainable.

Q:
My fear is if i were to invest i'd be investing in a project that the lead developer might be looking to hand off responsibility for to the community. And that there might not be community members with the skillset to continue development if you do.
A:Totally understandable, after all is what happens with 90% of crypto.
I love to work in OK since its creation, OK is one of the few currencies that
are getting build consciously and with the community as first thought,
already cleared some previous questions and let me repeat, the only way that would make me step down,
Is community voting and with the ensuranse and proposal of a better candidate for replacement.
Other than that would be impossible for me to step down,
I am a real supporter and believer for OK and only have its best interest in mind,
hence why since started gave the community strong decision making rights instead of centralizing and empowering just a few with foundations or alikes. OK is really for the people from the people. I understand all your fears, had a lot of experiences before we came with a solution for all the
crypto scams. Solution was to create a real efficient coin ethically managed, where everything just works and have fun building it, and the why OK got born.
If there's anything else I can help with feel free to contact me anytime over the OK slack or at
devteam@okcash.coWelcome to the community.
