Sup guys.
I'm still here, despite what it may seem. With RAIN having taken a major kick in the ass (for multiple reasons, many of which are due to my own mistakes), I along with a few others have been trying to brainstorm where to go from here. One suggestion that a few seem to back is a re-start of this coin - completely new chain, possibly new reward mechanism, and most importantly, not losing the premine this time.
There has been more community involvement behind the progess of RAIN, and the last thing I want is loss of support from the community. The IoT whitepaper is still something we can make happen, but a shoddy start (loss of premine, no starting dev team) and poor management screwed things up big time.
Would love to hear what you all would like to happen now, and apologies in advance for the lack of activity again.

My suggestion is don't be one of those people who starts over and expects things to be smooth. Makes you look like you have no soul. Fix the one you've got and own it. Last thing you should be doing is giving up on the people who made made this coin and expecting them to follow you to the next. You've burned enough bridges as it is, especially with the huge lie about some big news coming soon. It was such a shit move to get the coin to pump for you.
There's nothing wrong, with the coin, per se...it was lack of funding that ultimately got in the way of hardware integration (custom devices). I barely owned any coins when we saw the price spike - so don't assume I was manipulating the markets.
well we should try to do our best at this point. I think not a lot people will follow after a restart...I would be afraid at least you would give up again if some difficulites occur...
Moreover I thought the whitepaper was more or less ready to be released in beginning of december? How many % are done? Without information about current status/obstacles of the project it is diffcult to give real feedback..
Nevertheless this project has a good base infrastructure (twitter, exchanges, community,wallets) so we need activity (information, marketing and technology wise) and i think the coin can make progress again.
The white paper is finished, for the most part - just lacking technical details due to the lack of acquiring said hardware.
