Hey all,
For those of you who've stayed on the Givecoin rollercoaster these past few weeks, I want to apologize on our behalf for the lack of communication with the issues with the blockchain and the developments we've been making. Frankly, Dan and I have had a hell of a past few weeks dealing with end of semester commitments and exams at university, and getting by was our main priority. In lieu of that, we mistakenly decided to employ a backseat developer to fix the initial issues that cropped up, without much scrutiny or putting in the time to communicate and stay up to date with him or with you folks. Now that we're in the clear, I want to stress that our time and efforts are aimed toward making this happen in the long run...
Dan has made some small changes that reflect your complaints and criticisms, however these will
NOT affect the overall stability of the blockchain. Any future changes that we make that will result in a hard fork will be immediately communicated by us, and for the time being we will be holding off on a PoW/PoS hard fork to let things level out.
In this interim, we've made some awesome strides partnering up with
www.doabitofgood.com, a screensaver platform which mines for cryptocurrencies which can in turn be donated to various organizations and non-profits. Additionally, GIVE is the default coinbase for the program, something we're really excited for that will definitely provide a boost to the current state of affairs. Arranging the system with the guys at DABOG to be compatible with GIVE has been our primary goal in the past month or so, and I'm happy to say we're ready to go.
I've arranged a premium tier dual-PR blast between us and DABOG with PR.com, hitting all the major newswires within the next few hours today, which should certainly help us tap into a more mainstream audience outside of the mining community. For those still on board, we
really encourage you to try out DABOG, retweet, like on FB (now fb.com/givecoincryptocurrency), or join the subreddit: we want to show some genuine support for those who might be joining us in the weeks to come.
Dan will be chiming in soon to add in his comments and field any questions you guys might have, as always your suggestions are welcome. In the meantime, look out for Givecoin on the newswire!
Viva la Givecoin
Mike
