I see few commits on the github (
https://github.com/BitClubDev/ClubCoin), like one just made few days ago and there is now a block explorer...
http://www.clubcha.in/So there is really work being done on this coin. Just added this thread on my watch list and hope to see a great Roadmap
You said "massive updates in PR coming out." can you give ETA ? in few hours or in few days?
Hey mate,
Yeah, I have a small team working with me and the PR slowed down completely with one of our guys that I was counting on (quite upset about this.). So now, I got to pick up the slack but have been busy with a production based on the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge. I am completely free this weekend and I aim to have everything ready by the end so that I can get everyone on the same page and figure out where we are right at this moment.
I broke up the development into different parts. There is the core development, of course, and then there will be other development that we will setup bounties for. The bounties will be larger than other coins can offer I'm certain if it will greatly benefit the coin as there are businesses that are counting on it.
What a lot of people don't understand is that there are a lot of confirmations that were done before we even went forward with creating the coin. I mean, we could've used all these resources on Blackcoin. Why start a new coin from the ground up? Well, it was months of discussions that brought us to the point of creating a new coin so that we can continue core development that can benefit new technologies. Right now, we got to wait a fairly long time for crucial development to take place on Blackcoin as there is only one developer with a key. This was a kind of hot topic issue since the beginning of the coin's existence. Am I still active with Blackcoin? Of course. I support rat4 and his vision of the coin and I have no plans on influencing that.
A short list of development is;
- Getting Clubcoin updated with latest Bitcoin updates (Every Blackcoin-like digital currency out there is severely outdated by up to 3 years, this is also where you are seeing all the new commits coming from. Sinetek is currently out-of-country coding away in a different environment as he has been stressed going through years of development and figuring out what will work and won't work.)
- clubcoinj, this is a large project expecting this to take 2 - 3 months.
- Testing of clubcoinj on mobile phones and ATMs. Bitclub Network bought a bunch of ATMs, I can post pictures of them to prove they exist (Bitclub branded, etc.) but also, we partnered with other ATM companies that are waiting as well.
- Possible Coinomi support (most of the coding is done and tested, just needs the electrum server)
- Multibit for Clubcoin
- Our own Clubcoin mobile wallet. Doubtful on the iOS but, we'll see if we can secure that.
- Merchant Platform. There is a company that has spend a lot of money on making a competitor to Bitpay. They partnered with us during the coin's planning stages and development. I have screenshots of it that I will post with permission hopefully this weekend.
After discussions with many people, a lot of people agreed that saving money with a digital currency is the way to go forward in terms of promotion. The guys are already talking about a purse.io, save 20% with Starbucks type PoS for a while. With that though, time will tell as I am the skeptical kind of person that accepts a challenge but questions everything on the road. I mean, if they can do it, so can we, right?
The weird part about Clubcoin's community and well, I guess the 'state of altcoins' is basically it is quiet. Tumbleweed quiet. It is proving a challenge pulling the majority of Clubcoin holders (Bitclub members) into the forums, reddit, IRC, you name it. They won't budge and prefer the weekly newsletter that they get in their mailbox. They also prefer the method of e-mail / Skype, a lot of one-on-one communication over concerns. It feels pretty anti-community and instead of community members and other people also answering questions, it all falls upon me. So, the challenge is to build up communities in these areas and hopefully entice more discussion!
The only real discussion that is taking place is in the Facebook group (yuk).
