You guys could just hire some devs to do specific tasks for the coin. Try to put some donations together to fund such development.
I agree, but as I have seen around this space, few are the ones who donate for something, furthermore to resurrect a dead project. The idea is good because you won't find any devs to work for free unless they hold some good chunks of the coin supply or they buy it very cheap and develop it to grow their bag value. Core devs are even harder to find.
But don't worry as you may noted there are people willing to help the project in their free time like @prowe, @vella85 (even he is more quiet thank usual in here) maybe others will join this movement and make BOAT project a successful one. Anyone can join and give a hand, even you.
I'm still around my friend, just not as active in here as I am a little down as I couldn't get any dev to help out on Boat. Like I mentioned I did chat with a couple of devs I know but none were interested in helping out as they are busy with their own projects. I'm still here and staking when I can and I'm yet to sell any Boat in the hopes that a dev would come and pick this one up. Time will tell.
I knew you are still around but more silent than usual on this thread.
Well if we take a look at the big BOAT picture, for now all we need is someone as Team Manager to build up a team for the project, starting with a community manager, marketing manager and later you can focus on finding a core dev or more, for future upgrades and feature additions. Why I am saying this? Because, if the wallet is working, the staking is working, the tx are working there is no need to work on the code, unless you need to add some new features or change the existing ones. All that BOAT needs right now is new people in, awareness, and this can be achieved with some little marketing (Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, Reddit, Medium) and maybe some bounty campaigns. Just my 2 cents!
