dev, followed by what the new plan? Practical application? Any exchange?
Hi Wisnon, we have a good amount of plans but we want to get core functionality rolled out first. This meant getting the logo done, then skinning the block explorer and so forth. Then we have to decide if faucets and paper wallets should be done in-house, or bountied out. Some of our plans are held up by lack of an exchange, as in, we want to build a multipool that pays in 2015 coin but until we're on C-Cex or somewhere else, we're not willing to commit to that. Doing something like this also involves upfront capital, server fees and so forth, and everyone on the team dislikes IPO's and premines, so we'd have to invest a couple BTC to make it happen. If there's interest, sure we'll do it, but none of us are rich.
There are plenty of things we 'could' do that have been popular in the past, like Anon sends and so forth, but I believe that stuff was more hype than substance. I also believe DarkCoin open sourced their anon project? (I could be wrong here) so there would be no point building a network layer.
What I like about Crypto is the speed of innovation you see, and I get equally irritated by clone coins with no purpose. We're deciding internally what 'unique' features we'd like to develop, and will release a roadmap accordingly.
One of the issues I see coins run in to is they have incredible development talent and no one cares, the thread is dead. This isn't due to lack of marketing etc, it's because they people move on so fast in crypto to the next big thing if the exchange volume doesn't stay high. Whales and investors can be a double edged sword, it would be cool if a rich developer wanted to join our team!
Either way, I think getting the word out is as important as an exchange right now. If you'd like to help with that, you could tweet and link to us in your signature, we have 30k coins to work with in the development fund. Thanks to the two people who sent that by the way, PM me so I can thank you personally.
I hope this vague response on Christmas Eve is good enough for now, but it will be interesting in the months to come to see how things play out. I hope to be able to quote myself in 3 months without having too many contradictions!
