If this coin has no competent dev behind it, its going nowhere. I can't donate funds or time until I know we actually have that backing us. Only really 2 ways you can establish that for the rest of us MAR DEV. Sorry to be harsh, just being realistic.
1) Prove your identity. Obviously you have skills if you're a dev, so what other coins have you worked on? Without a history, we can't tell if youre just talkin smack unfortunately.
2) Prove your skills/commitment. This one takes time of course. We'd all need to be patient- both us for updates and devs for donations and support. Keep working and it'll get there.
I pledged a donation and intend to make it. I just don't have proof at this time that Marijuanacoin actually has a dev. Please understand the perspective. Im not ungrateful, and listening to your plans with much interest.
I'm sorry, but I can't agree with that "no competent dev" or "actually has a dev" comment. If a required wallet update, new developed webwallet, Blockchain Stats/Charts pages are proof nowadays for an "no competent dev" I must say I'm pretty shocked.
To answer your points,
1: Correct, Time will tell. The beauty of crypto! Don't get me wrong here, but we're not having an ICO or premine, so we're in a position where we actually don't have to explain anything on that part. You either have faith and hold/buy, or you don't.
2: Working on that.
