Hello everybody,

now that I have read all the posts here and all the messages in the WhatsApp group, I would like to tell you my opinion about a few aspects of the ongoing development of PieCoin and all what I have read so far:

I just realized that @AltcoinPortfolio has done a lot of work and has taken over a kind of a leadership here.
I am glad about that because I am not able to fulfill such a role. In an earlier post (maybe in the old thread) I wrote that PieCoin does not need a leader, it is the community keeping it strong. Now I see that I was just weak and the combination of a great community and a guy who cares for it regularly is obviously the best!

There was so much to read for me the last 3 hours here and at the WhatsApp group...
So many suggestions, so many actions, so much support...

And I realized that this community is very special - helping each other and just communicate about what would be good to do and how to reach it.
This is a great community and it is so good to see this all after being absent for a few weeks.
If you compare this thread with the XBY thread for example you will see the difference.

I am really sorry for being away for such a long time and I realized that some updates to piecoin.net would be cool.
At least the link to this forum thread should be updated, I will do it tomorrow.

And now, for to make it short (have to sleep soon) my short opinion about the roadmap:

- Android Wallet: would be great and should have a preference (but it's not easy as I saw the prices at the WhatsApp group)
- Web Wallet: would be cool (same as above)
- Social Sending: in my opinion is a dream which we can follow - but if you tell a dev: 'please implement social sending for facebook etc.' I am quite sure that the most of them don't even have a plan of what has to be done to realize that.

- Masternodes: I am not sure if all of you talking about the same thing. I just read about it, found out that Dash and XBY are using Masternodes but it's very complicated. This guide explains how to run a Masternode for the Dash Coin:

https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOC/TAO%27S+SETUP+GUIDE+FOR+DUMMIES+12.1

Please take a look at that - I don't think normal users will ever set up a master node.
So please let's focus at Android and Web Wallet.

I will give a more detailed explanation of the Masternode concept at the coming weekend.

So what I am doing now:
I will keep trying to compile the Windows Wallet with actual server nodes (still sucks).
At the Mac Wallet there have been problems - I will look at that.
I will update the code at the repository with the actual server nodes.
Keeping two static server nodes running.
Never selling any PIEs - still holding my! Never sold in the last weeks.

It is late for me now, I would like to thank you all for building up this great community and having so much patience and love!!!

All said for today, cu Pikku

Hi Pikku,

Ok, I agree. We can leave the masternodes for now and concentrate on development of wallets. We also need a new block explorer.

The price at https://www.blockexperts.com/ is 0.1 BTC.

What I could do is set up an escrow to see if we get around 0.5 BTC together for these developments.

The holders of large blocks (PIE addresses with 5+million) would need to participate in these development efforts. This will make or break the community and PIE.

We will see whether they are interested.
