Did I say interested yet  Smiley

Lol, yep!

Great. Interested  Smiley

Brownie points for being double-interested.  Stake stays the same Smiley



Now, a brief status update:

  • Interesteds aren't necessary anymore.  Enough interest has been shown.  I am active in development (will edit OP)
    • I expect to have an easy-to-use setup and configuration tool ready by end of the week



  • GitHub repositories have been initialized at https://github.com/PiNX-Community.  Again, nothing of consequence is in place
    • Everything will live in the GitHub repository with permissive licenses.
      • pinx-src  - where source code will live
      • PiNX-Community.github.io - website served from here
      • main - Home for Wiki

  • Licenses have been selected
    • MIT for source code
    • Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International for website and wiki
      • Can somebody knowledgeable of licensing reply if this is appropriate?

An FYI: The PiNX java client will be one of the last pieces of software to be finished.  Nxt source is scheduled for release in April, and it will be extremely tricky (if not impossible) to create a valid clone before then.  PiNX will exist as a pure fork of Nxt, so we will use the Nxt java client until then.

Marketing angle: A digital currency for Makers, by Makers.

Registration window: May be extended to allow outreach to the Maker community.

Framework is in place for community collaboration.  I'm not seeking help just yet but if you have any ideas, jump right in!
