Starcoin is awesome. massively underrated and ignored right now, considering how profitable it is
I second the idea of going ahead with fork and new dev.
dev or new dev: stable node available at 198.58.99.249 default port
I have a pool running for personal use but if no other stable pools are around anyone is welcome to hop on and register at: starcoin.mining.sexy - averaging a block every 5 mins just by myself. no fees or nonsense unless it goes > 50%. no issues with pool wallet to cryptsy
