Implementation of db would require 1 year if cz do it alone(the code must be rewritten from scratch), 9k usd x 12 month is big money to personal but not to company or btc whale.
Sorry but you are very far from the truth. There are at least 5 people who can give you BBR running on the latest Bytecoin or Monero code for no more than 5k-10k usd.
Nice, send them my way, we have dev funds for this specific purpose
Would love to chat about some nuances with the epee library. Andrey Sabelnikov and other cryptonote devs have always been tough to collaborate with, from LOOOOOONG before I showed up here. So I don't know why people put so much stock in my collaboration with a person that was assumed Missing In Action.
This is happening, lets speed it up!
I think although you may not have contributed any code as yet have at least brought some community back to this coin. I think you deserve props for this anyway.
