Kudos for doing what the team of 60 people couldn't do, sorry you got tangled with this awful mess. I think GAWCEO is trying to capitalize on your work as his own so be careful with that.
I don't mean to be a dick--I just think it would be neat if the gentleman spent his effort on more fruitful endeavors!
I plan on moving into other Coins. But that is a bigger task and alot of funding to get that moving. So since i am a small guy with my own cash/time invested in this concept. I will be alright till i can get someone to help get a large project off the ground.
You're alright, kid. You're going to go far, but don't let a lack of funds stop you from starting. There are always (real; actual) investors looking for someone with skill and perseverance.
