you could compensate by creating a new project and not give up so the community after having wasted time and money.
Can you provide a developer that can continue the project?
If not, then no.
I dont have the qualifications to create a currency myself, as I dont know the code.
why did you start a project without having any clue about what you are going to do.First and foremost if someone starts a project he will have a set of coders and programmers who are qualified enough to understand what they are going to do.Without a vision for the project it is not a surprise it is doomed.
