Recently I took down the Razorcoin Block Explorer that I had set up originally. Running block explorers isn't a totally fun exercise and one which some coin knowledge (especially for Insight block explorers) is required. There is also a monthly cost involved to running servers for the block explorer.
There were some issues getting this Razorcoin Block Explorer running too since I needed to modify the core daemon code so that it didn't explicitly disconnect connections via localhost (since the TOR proxy runs on localhost as well this conflicted in parts). Off the top of my head I think I modified code in 3 different sections and spent a good few hours debugging this.
None of that totally bothered me. What bothers me is that the official Razorcoin web site doesn't even work (
http://razorco.in) which is something someone pointed out to me at least a week ago. People often mistake me as being the Razorcoin developer, which I am not. I have never committed any code to that code base. I'm not even sure who the developers are.
So certain recent public events transpired which just plain annoyed me and could have been handled better. I won't go into detail since it's all out in the public. In the end the events negatively (and unfairly) impacted a lot of different cryptocurrencies.
Essentially, in this case I supported the Razorcoin and believed in the project... Then I stopped caring. I sold all the Razorcoin that I had on exchanges and in my wallet. I didn't even really care about the price. To me, it's more about principle. I can't really think of Razorcoin anymore except with a negative frame of mind.
So being in this frame of mind, I followed the suggestion of the #Coinmarkets IRC channel and just redirected the Razorcoin Block Explorer to
http://www.sec.gov. People found it funny at the time. I was indifferent.
After a day of thinking about it, I realized I probably shouldn't have done that. I personally want to lead cryptocurrencies to be in a higher standard. I get annoyed at certain things such as web sites that don't work, wallets that don't sync, deceit, Iconic Expert shit bag don't buy his fucking coin, etc...
So I reenabled the Razorcoin Block Explorer this morning. The caveat is that I'll be shutting it down in a week which gives sufficient notice to work out an alternative or not.
Thank you for reenabling the Block Explorer.
The "dev/s", who ever he/she is/are, in an attempt to avoid the common FUD that arrives to most of the coins on this form at some point/s, they told that they where not going to be active here, they told that they where going to update people throw other channels like Twitter and IRC, but the fact is that they gradually adopted an attitude of "I do what I want, don't ask me questions because I wont answer. I wont waist my time answering the community questions" +
"Deal with it". It was the same on all mediums, here, IRC, Twitter .... all the same. The attitude (intentional or accidental) was more or less "screw the community", and it seems they did screwed everyone that got interested.
The visible faces of this "project" are
Bryce Weiner and Blocktech, with
Devon Read as CEO.
They presented all this as a serious project handled by responsible and dedicated adults/professionals.
Today none of them is taking responsibility, none of them is giving a clear explanation on what happened, and none of them is presenting a future plan nor an official abandonment declaration. Nothing.
They are maintaining the exact same attitude towards the community. Maybe they just
can't deal with it. maybe they just can't resolve it as adults/professionals, or maybe they are just "(put whatever you want here)".
I totally understand your decision.
Who may want to help/support these kind of "dev/s" at this point?
