question from this noob to others who've been closely following this coin:
could anyone summarise what's special about it?
have the devs lived up to their promises?
Any hidden problems -
premines?
instamines?
well distributed? is there a rich list?
buggy code?
are these are hard core programmers, not "copy-paste" devs or middlemen? When bugs/fork challenge popped up, were they fixed quickly?
dev squabbles?
dev complacency?
missed deadlines?
Anything to worry about?
I am one of the dev's, so take my answers with a grain of salt since some of them are about me. I encourage our community to answer candidly.
What's special - This coin was launched to pay homage to Satoshi Nakamoto, and promote kindness / giving / support of charitable causes within the crypto community. Most of this is a culture, and MrBrew (original dev) laid the groundwork. Our goal, as the coin revival team, is to stay true to his original intentions.
Dev's Lived Up To It - I think so, but encourage the community to answer.
Pre-Mine - We did a 2% pre-mine for development costs, bounties, etc... This puts us in a much better position to support the coin and / or bring in experts using bounties to develop needed enhancements and environmental components.
Insta-Mine - No, everything has been very smooth with the v2 launch.
Well distributed, Rich List - Yes, you can look at the rich list at
http://explore.was.club/Buggy Code - v2 has not had any issues, to date.
Dev Background - MrData, who does the clients, has ~15 years experience in c/c++ programming. As well as knowledge in php and mySQL. He was one of the co-founders of coinpayments.net, as well. You can see what he is up to at
http://www.crypto2.net/I do most of the PR / Web / and Mining Pool stuff. I work in IT Project Management and am an crypto enthusiast. My website is
http://www.americancomputernerd.com/Deadlines - We've stayed true to any published timelines.
Anything Else? - The only two issues that we have had to date is 1) there are some folks who would rather have kept the algo as SHA256, and they don't support the v2 transition. It is worth noting that the majority of the community does support the v2 switch. 2) After the fork of the v1 network, that block chain was attacked. However, MrData was able to publish revisions to the source code to resolve the problem within hours. The coin swap was not impacted, and has continued to function flawlessly (~50% swapped as of yesterday).
