For those who missed the announcement on discord:
Please read our Pigeoncoin Update Below.
We would like to discuss the current state of the project with all of our followers.
Over the last few months we have worked on many things including the website, roadmap, multiple wallet updates, and our latest achievement the LWMA Algo for consistent 1 min block times. From the first day the project was released the main core team put in hundreds of hours in each month. After a few months we were exhausted. A few members decided they needed to take breaks and move on. We then brought in some of our ambassadors to help with marketing and keep daily operations going. We've also found out that it's rather difficult to find people who are able to put in full time hours to work on Pigeoncoin in this current market. We're now at a crossroads, what is the best way for us to proceed as we embark on our next achievement: creating the Pigeon App? We've decided that from here on out we should become 100% community driven. The project is shifting from a for profit social media network to a community run open source project. This means we will be doing a few things: 1) Current Members will reduce hours. 2) Removing the Team section on the website. 3) Removing all private channels in the Discord Server. 4) Creating new public channels for all aspects of development. 5) Opening up all recent work and making it available on github. 6) Becoming Public about all of our intentions. 7) Letting any new member be a part of what is happening.
Creating lead roles for people to get questions answered in each channel. And many more things...
We want to give a fair voice to all supporters of pigeoncoin. We want our successes and failures to be as a community. Going forward everything will be public and 100% opensource and community driven. We will all be ambassadors of this coin. A true coin by the people and for the people.
So what does this mean for the pigeoncoin app? Simple any developer, designer, supporter wanting to be a part of what is happening can come into the public channels, go to the open source github and start helping. You can help design the app, coin and software any way you like. Give it new features and make it your own. We also encourage you to purchase pigeoncoin at the great low price it is today and hold onto it, your investment is now literally in your hands.
So as we make this transition, if you are interested in any kind of development, design, marketing outreach or any kind of other support make sure you keep an eye on the new channels and start actively participating. Also if you know of anyone who may want to join a community project please point them our way. We are always actively looking to get new members that can help us move forward.
Good luck to everyone!
Also from Luke:
Hey everyone, effective immediately the team will be reducing their hours and opening the project up to the community. I'm not abandoning the project, but I need to take care of my family and look out for their core interests.
I pledge to work on the Pigeoncoin mobile app frontend when time permits, but I need the community to spearhead the direction and architecture for the backend.
Here is a quick broadcast about today's announcement. I am looking forward to a future where Pigeoncoin can thrive powered by it's awesome community.
