I've been a promoter since day 1 dude. ArtOS has the right to dissapear without announcing things once, but two times is a bit odd and does shake my confidence slightly. Don't pretend it's a positive thing: It's not.
As a programmer myself I know for a fact one can get lost in the code while working hard. That's not an excuse to stop all PR entirely, however, for anything over 3 days. We're way beyond that. It's been what, a week? Two? It's getting scarily similar to what happened before, and that killed this coin.
It's at the point now where I have seriously considered trying to hard fork his work, and implement this feature myself. I AM capable, and at least I'd talk to the community. That said, it feels somewhat... asshole-ish to fork someones coin by force.
Okay...well, that cat is now out of the bag. I was actually pondering proposing exactly this over the past few days.
However, I feared that the proposal alone would send the coin plummeting. Maybe it won't. Competing dev teams for the same coin is actually something that may drive its success. It shows that a real community truly wants it to succeed. And if we're going to start talking about it, we may as well start working it on the side. We need a contingency plan at this point, as, - previously stated - we cannot rest on one single person.
