ANYBODY can create their own branch of Datacoin on Github  (you listening cryptrol?) and accept pull requests from the community.

But I believe oocook5u is alive and well, and that he will dump a load of priceless code on Github any day now. He said the private chains will take a few months to code.  Give the man (or woman) some space.  Coding takes time, especially if it is original.

Better to take a 5 to 10 year view with this coin.  Stock up now, so that one day, when it is the new MegaUpload, you can join oocook5u in the clouds.
