There are big plans for XQN and those here and who support XQN in the future will be very pleased with
where it is being taken.
We do appreciate all offers of help, suggestions and if any would like to join the Core Team.
There is always a need for Honorable Coders but unfortunately it is a widely known but rarely spoken truth that they are a rarity among the alt communities
and finding one is like finding a needle in a haystack.

eh...finding honorable coders isn't so much a rarity in and of itself. finding honorable coders that are still doing work for free, however, is indeed a rarity. With an overwhelming number of coins being released where the "Dev" (quoted because 9/10 times the person leading the project hasn't the faintest idea of what is going on with the c++ code and couldn't program a "Hello World" application to save his life) is only looking to make a quick buck, there really is little incentive left that can pull in qualified programmers to make the necessary updates to the (often) sorely outdated codebase.
For reference, one of the failed checks listed in my script output was fixed in bitcoin nearly 2 years ago, yet 90% of new coins haven't applied the patch. Another was patched some 11 months ago, and again...most "new" coins haven't the faintest idea what that vulnerability is.
At least this particular coin has done away with IRC based peer fetching...that was SO 2012!
Unfortunately, with no hex-encoded peer addresses, and a non-functioning DNS seeder, there are some basic connectivity issues that need to be resolved first and foremost (addnodes in a conf file really shouldn't be necessary nor "standard practice").
I admit I am one who has no coding experience, has the desire but no time to learn Code since there are far more important matters at hand
in all the projects we have in play.
These have nothing to do with a balanced honorable Coder able to function in a Team atmosphere or
as a lone wolf.
I disagree with you on the honorable part as most Coders free or paid cannot answer the simple question
that if they were approached with a suitcase full of unmarked bills numbering in the hundreds of million of dollars,...
would they take it or not.
With our KORE Coin updates we decided the only right way was to start with the newest Bitcoin Code
and go from there but some snags now have delayed the release nearly 8 months and there have been numerous
updates to the Bitcoin core since then.
This paid honorable Coder has run into some serious life problems and could not continue with
the project so we had the need to replace them.
Bittrex removing GLOBAL and not relisting it even after we got her running again
had put a serious damper on our ability to fund and move forward with our planned releases.
XQN will also be done right surpassing any mere updates to old outdated code.
Most all suggestions of updates and PoS issues will be resolved with where we are taking
our projects.
PS
The little I have messed with changing existing Code and playing around with some changes in a copy paste manner
to have it do what I wanted to, have surpassed what part time coders have been able to do...
I have the utmost respect for Coders and what they are able to do.
This would be a fitting time to mention most honorable Coders and people had been taken for a ride so many times with all the scam
coins that many vowed never to help again or left the alt space and even Crypto Currency entirely...
What we are bringing to this space is a different approach and in time albeit way too much time, we will prove ourselves.
Those who had taken the chance to trust us, join the Core Teams, sign the NDA doxing themselves can attest to this.
We had not said much but that is slowly changing.
