I've been away from this coin for a very long time and i have a few questions.
Q1. What happened to the loyalty program? It has been almost 3 years now so why not make a announcement about the status?
Q2. Why not move away from counterparty? It has become a pain to work with and makes everything more difficult. Simple things like moving coins attract like a $10 fee nowadays where in the past it was like $0.05. Why not give FLDC its own blockchain? It will also make it easier for devs to port over applications from bitcoin and make foldingcoin in general a real crypto not some token on another blockchain.
Q3. What happened to the old team? Apart from robert everyone else in the monthly meetings seems to be new. Are the people from 2015-2016 still involved or have they left?

Hey K210!
Q1: The loyalty program is lower on the list now, we need some better core products working first
Q2. Moving away from counterparty would be a challenge because of the username change requirement that it would create. Most people will not follow up and change their username, or they would not like the fact that they need to start their stats over. We are looking into the idea of allowing multiple chains to be able to distribute on the platform. This would allow the Bitcoin address to sign a message of another chains address, so that way we can verify a users additional chain addreses. There isnt a timeline for this, but we are researching it. So step 1 is to make the FLDC platform cross chain compatible to encourage other projects to do distributions on our platform.
Q3. The other devs have moved on to other projects, so I am the last remaining original dev. 2016 and the beginning of 2017 was a rough year for foldingcoin, as we didnt really have a developer anymore, and we kind of stayed in limbo there for awhile. However with the price increase, and people discovering FLDC for the first time beginning around August 2017, a renewed interest in the project came, and we have brought on a new experienced lead developer Miguel, Jeff came on and created the Folding Browser, Helene and George helping to run the community, Josh and Matt to help with compliance, and recently we brought on Bill to be the new director, as he brings extensive years of experience in managing and running projects. I am doing the same stuff I have always been doing, but now i am full time and we have the largest team we have ever had, so we are in a position to make some real traction this year especially since we can pay developers in FLDC which has some real value behind it now. We have Tokenly working on the Merged Folding platform now and Bill is seeking additional devs to. Everything in crypto moves slow sometimes, and its hard to meet deadlines in the past when we did not have a lot of full time or even part time workers. So this year hopefully will be different
