So I've discussed with my advisor... and while we both love the project idea, as we moved deeper into the logistics of the project we were afraid that the demand for such a project may not be able to warrant the use of a native cryptographic token.
That said, hosting an ICO for such a token in order to fund the project has the potential to lead to some very upset ICO buyers should the coin become obsolete as the site grows. While the idea for the website is exciting, the implementation could take years, and we decided that neither of us feel comfortable running an ICO that could put such a large risk on its supporters.
I believe wholeheartedly that this site could be very successful--and useful--for the niche crypto market, but I am worried that its main users--ICO supporters and traders--could lose more than they gain from such a project.
Also during these discussion, a more compelling use for blockchain technology as a means of storytelling began to form, and so it is with both regret and excitement that I am announcing that we will be letting the Corner project go to pursue an exciting alternative. This will be announced when everything is more concrete and ready for the public.
This is not to say that Corner is dead. If anyone is interested in taking over its development, PM me and we can talk. I can provide you with the webpage blueprints and notes.
I would still love to see Corner become a reality.
Thanks for your understanding
