All good dude, only there's actually a few people involved in the development, maintenance of the network. There's a few others involved in growing the user base and there are many holding coins.

Our development goal having gained control of the repository was to secure our blockchain at low hashrates. We did this using the same thing that holds most PoS coins together, but without the bloat of staking blocks. We achieved that a little over a year ago, in the most pragmatic way we had available to us.

The network is still working just fine, as is our android wallet.

Here's the thing - bitcoin is brilliant
and so we didn't feel the need to develop it past removing the temptation for transaction processors to compete with energy usage (or just making it work without the massive arbitrary computation). We're working to add services at this time because that's what we need. Developments to the security will be considered when the market capitalisation necessitates it, there's a plan in place. I'll just say again - Bitcoin is brilliant.

Please do not mistake "rising above it" as snobbishness. Having been watching the thread I'm sure you can understand the extent of the issue. As someone recent to the project you may not know that several attempts over the course of the past three years have been made to address the troll's claims and reason with it, unfortunately each time the campaign was re-escalated and the bogus claims were repeated. We're under no illusions about the troll being what it is unfortunately.

The Dalai Lama take home: If someone wishes to make written claims that some of your words are untrue, then no amount of further words will fix the problem.

The coins donated to the environment by the early participants remain untouched, the blockchain cannot tell lies.

Progress for us right now is nurturing relationships that can help this work and I can assure you it is being made, every day. However nothing is going to make it here until contracts are signed, or services developed; and it's tough, and it takes time. No comas going on that I'm aware of.

The owner of this thread's role is to moderate this thread, it doesn't matter who does it, it's following rules. We made it because it was required.
