"I came in here telling everyone that we should get this security hole fixed and all I got were the 2-3 salesman, 2-3 zealots just making numerous posts just to bury what I was saying. "
The dev team was working on the issue before anybody came in here screaming warnings. There was no need for the continued reminder of what was going on, it was already being fixed. You may have noticed there were quite a few people coming in here with their "warnings" even after the problem was already being addressed, I would guess most of these people were not interested in the problem being fixed at all but rather at the opportunity to try and use the issue to scare people. There is no point to continually "warning" people of something they are already aware of and working on (not saying everybody on the thread was completely aware or understanding of what was going on, but the dev clearly was and had it fixed within a relatively quick time). If nobody had came in here "warning" people, it would have gotten quietly fixed and it would have been as if it never happened...
"Now the mint team keep mentioning things happening in the background... why the background?"
My guess: because other coins/people steal/crush ideas.
"1) what happened to that multipool we funded as a community? anyone have any news on that? another scam?"
This is a good question. That multipool has been due back on for a while now, not sure where the person went who was supposed to be setting it up. He did disappear somewhat mysteriously. Possibly a scam. Not sure what you mean by "another" scam, though? On the bright side, a better multipool is available that pays out in Mint: [Suspicious link removed]/news/
"2) what are some upcoming news that we can be looking forward to?"
You, like me, will have to wait to find this out, because as previously mentioned things are being worked on in the background. But as has been already touched on, some of the things to keep an eye out for are: New wallet capabilities/platforms, MintCoin Fund, marketing campaign, VoS exchange.
"3) some wallet suggestions that help us separate from other coins."
broken_pixel and kergekoin mention a coin control function, which would be nice and I think should be implemented if possible. Although, as beaverslayer points out it might require a hardfork and may not be worth it. I can think of some other possibilities but I don't know if they are being considered atm.
I know memory is a finnicky thing, but you can easily go back and check my post. Before I posted the community didn't even acknowledge there was a problem, it wasn't until a couple of hours until we even got an official statement. The coin was successfully attacked and no one in the community heard anything from the devs/leadership. You still hadn't even decided if there was an issue at the time. It wasn't until there was a fix before some of the zealots+cheerleaders acknowledged there even was an issue as some of you still don't even think anything of it.
All I asked for was more transparency, or more leadership involvment. Everything is done behind the scenes while you look at some other successful coins where everything is out in the open.
Another user has come forward with the same issues I have, but I guess we're in the minority here. All I see is our price slipping (the buy walls are slipping and they're not all real), while clone coins are coming up from behind us.
P.S. we're talking about BC again?
P.P.S. I don't think they started working on it until an official statement went out. So I think they only took a couple of hours instead of the 3 days since it was a known issue to resolve it.
