David, are you coding alone or did you hire a team to code with you?


Alone, never been able to find coders to help. I've tried but unfortunately most devs are lazy or lack the ability. I attempted to hire in SE Asia and they were way too slow and didn't even commit a single line. It would waste more time to teach them than to do it myself. A few other coders have been very slow to reply to emails or have tried a refactor and quit after about a day of work leaving me with nothing to commit.

So I've done 100% of the code. As for the daemon we use Blackcoin source which has been very reliable. Rat4 added some nice cold staking commands so that was helpful. And I was one of the people to message the Bitmessage dev and encourage Aetheros to fix the source of Bitmessage which is what I use to make decentralized markets.

The code itself is almost 50k lines. I could reduce it by making it more modular but it's a bit late for a refactor. I don't host on github since I've got doubts that enough people would commit and it would more likely get forked and cloned with dubious ideology. So we host on github after we finish. Also you can download source directly in my server and build from that with variable names changed which is good enough for audits.

Any plans to start the peg? I think templates are great, but pegging is where we attract most of the people to our coin. They will see a price increase and go whaaaa? And this interest will go. I'm a bit worried since, talking about the details is one thing, but implementation may be hard? Can you start the peg or at least spec it out first? Thank you

Templates are great and all but to all other outsiders. It means nothing. The reason is because there is no marketing or explanation about it.

Ideally, you want your marketing team to take screen shots of the new templates and explain what they do and paint a story about how its used. Or videos about it. So far I see none of that, which is why the coin is illiquid. And stagnant and outside of top 100 on coinmarketcap without any volume, so I think shifting gears to peg may be better.

No the client needs to be finished completely first. Investing is a game of patience and coding requires extreme patience. I've already delivered decentralized markets and totally transformed the client as promised. The rest will come soon enough.


Absolutely agree! Would you put wheels under an engine and call it a car? No, the features need to be finished and tested, and being used before there would be meaningful value in pegging.
