Due to various reasons, Cryptographic Anomaly will be going through some changes.

These require first priority. They have first priority over ANY OTHER concern because, if these things don't happen the coin won't live much longer:

  • CODE UPDATE - The coins code needs to be updated to some version of Bitcoin core. Things need to be addressed, like what base code should be used, what features (if any) are to be added, and who should have access to the development repo (We need more bodies maintaining the code then just myself even if it is just someone periodically popping into github and adding a checkpoint or useful link).
  • Branding - Should a re-branding happen (the name has been confusing for non-native English speakers)? If re-branded, then new social media pages need to be created, and possible new logo (I have been working on updating the logo, it wont change to much).
  • Web presence - Thanks to the DIEM team we have http://cga.thehouseofdiem.info/ (which is VERY outdated, source: https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/cganomalywebsite) but it would still be nice to have our own site and forum. We also need social media managers to maintain the social sites that allow moderators.
  • Whitepaper - We have this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cQJE8P0mR6n-9_F5BuI8sDvjNn-SD3VTPHK9ulxpgUQ/edit?usp=sharing It is a good starting point, but like I said before it is very outdated.

These things are NOT a priority and will be addressed by the main developers ONLY after the list above has been 90% completed (I say this because of the lack of bodies, if we had a solid crew committed to the software, these things could be done simultaneously/autonomously):

  • Network Services - Pools, block explorers, etc.
  • Other Services - Exchanges, markets, games, applications, etc.
  • Media - Blogs, Videos, wallpapers, banners, etc.
  • Translations - For the web page, whitepaper and forum as well as community support (helping out with general translations between members)

What this means is, until the updated coin software is ready to be released and a basic web presence has been established for the possible re-branding, no one should be overly concerned about getting a pool/block explorer running, or getting added to new exchanges/services (it is pointless if the code is going to change).

I will attempt to be on IRC in #CGAnomaly (freenode) as frequently/consistently as possible to answer any questions, address concerns, and point volunteers into the right direction. (Just don't bug me too much if you want anything to get done Tongue)

PLEASE DO NOT ASK/TELL ME ANYTHING "INVESTMENT" RELATED INVOLVING CGA, I DO NOT CARE. I WILL NOT HELP YOU BUY A GOLD UNICORN.
