at this point (Forking is possible) easy to manage / get consensus

so lets fork in everything:

zerocoin stuff
decre vote on spec features
a little POS for node providers, a pinch of multi-algo flavors
and this PASCAL no block chain thing

great shout

where is Mr.Franko? no excuse for not popping by every couple days and keeping us up to speed.

I always thought he was the rarest of decs, very trustworthy, still do
however he promised he would never let frk come off bittrex

we have no exchange to buy coins from currently?
been a lot of promises and zero delivery for a year or so, time to rise to the challenge as he is a very talented developer imo

I think yobit.

However, yes I don't expect him to keep up the trading himself of course on bittrex.

The problem is he basically left FRK to become and old rotten piece of junk that nobody is interested in holding or trading. He has the skills to upgrade it but did not invest any time or effort into it. EXP is the new vehicle. The problem is like dan metcalf from blocknet xc fame - they leave their old projects to die and try to move on to new ones. This does not work because people who took time and effort to mine and invest in their old projects get burned and will eventually kick up a fuss in their new projects.

You invest in a coin you invest in that developer.

Defaced is not a scammer he is actually a helpful and decent person who became frustrated with franko not taking off.

Franko did not take off because it is out dated and needs updating.

Better to stick with one project and make is a success rather than jump from failure to failure.

Yes, as much crap as I have given him over the years I believe the success of this coin was not because his lack of work but more the lack of enough community focus. One developer can only do so much work before it becomes overwhelming. This forum showed signs of appreciation for the coin but mostly for speculative gains (myself included).

I have said it before and I will say it again now--A coin ~~needs~~ requires more than exchange value on an exchange. A coin needs real world use, the ATM to getting it into more hands was a start to gain it notoriety. The more different hands hold an item the more perceived the value it can have provided their is a real world use. An analogy would be- Everyone defecates and therefore everyone has feces yet this alone does not make it valuable, if feces started having a real world value then the sewer systems would be making a killing.

The real world value of Bitcoin is not the coin, but what the coin represents. The coin is the fee that is paid to store information on the blockchain- nothing more. The fact that it has value is because the network that confirms the blockchain is secure, and openly viewable for confirmations.

The problem with Franko coin is that the blockchain is not secure, it is very difficult to use the coin to store information in its blockchain, when the difficulty gets so high and then left alone. Coins don't move for 24 hours or more means information is also not able to propagate or contracted in a timely manner. When I sold my 100K Franko I had to sell paper wallets because the chain had been stuck for several days.

to be fair though how hard would it be for him to upgrade the diff adjust? he should have done enough at least to keep the coin usable?

they get all tied up in their new projects and forget entirely the people that bought and believed in their old creations.

I'm not ragging on him and calling him a scammer. But it is irresponsible to not upgrade essentials to keeping the coin usable.
