Thanks to community feedback,

I have had a chance to look at some different options to mint freecoin, of what has been offered to me spreadcoin resonates with me as it deals effectively with pool mining and puts and emphasis back on solo mining and is based on X11 of which other algos can be added on roadmap.

Funny enough i have already covered solo mining on my youtube channel.

So maybe just maybe a fork of spreadcoin makes sense so as not to get bogged down in the early stages of dev, and still have code that is on the right track?
