Re: [ANN] [VIA] ★ Viacoin ★ ~ the future of digital currency ~ ★
The beauty of open source projects is that anyone can participate in taking the project to the next level, not only btcdrak & co. It was not Satoshi who made bitcoin happen - he just layed the groundwork, other people continued and built on top of the foundation.
Via needs something like that exactly. But so far, there's nothing. So we can't really blame the people who invested in this project for getting mad because via isn't really going anywhere. People invested their hard earned money in this. And the only thing that makes this project look good right now is Peter Todd being on board. So imagine if he left... Confidence in this project would plummet faster than it is now.Yes, this is exactly what VIA needs. Viacoin has a bunch of features which can't be found on other blockchains, VIA needs people who are willing to experiment with these features, VIA needs people to build on top of ClearingHouse and VIA blockchain. However, it is not drak's responsibility to 'recruit' people to do this. Drak (along with Todd, etc.), is a developer laying the basis on which others can build applications.
We can't really blame Gavin Andresen either, when bitcoin is tanking.
