Master dev bushstar is back on FTC now, already planning
new maintenance releases. There has been a dedicated group of devs working to support FTC for years, who now have their founder back in the fold after returning from another project. That should be worth more than something, relative to the large number of scam/shitcoins being pumped out these days.
what was he working on
He was contracted to Hullcoin but they reached a funding hiatus and breached contract. I'm certainly excited that he's back. Not sure if its on a full-time or part-time basis as none of the devs are paid. They do a great job given the circumstances!
I'd love to make a donation to the dev team if FTC ever moons.
