Hi, Graincoiners.

It's been a long time since I last posted here. Unfortunately, in March and beginning of April I had no time for all this crypto things. When I got some spare minutes I found that bosian is gone. I tried to contact him with PM and skype for a month already to no avail. Also, I was told by the man who had some business with bosian that he also could not get in touch. At the same time I monitored this thread for last three weeks and taking to account that my node has connections I understand that some adepts of Grain are still around.

Many of you could remember that I did a fix to the Grain wallet that was related to bonus blocks harvesting, so you might have some proof of my skills. I looked into the problem with PoW difficulty as I want to PoW-mine Grains and found the solution, so I am ready to release the fix.

The fix will cause a hard fork so all important public services should be notified in advance. ATM we have three exchanges and one payment processor (may be more services, I need to check the list at the OP).

Also, I got a positive response from the current Grain domains owner regarding buying back these domains so we could keep the sites alive as well.

I am not strong enough (better to say not at all) in marketing, but I see that Turbosx50 is ready to care about this part.

Taking all said above do you want me to take over the Grain and become its major developer?

P.S.
@almightyruler: I believe that the high traffic volume is related to the very low PoW difficulty atm and the PoW problem to be fixed.

@BitcoinNational: What did you do useful for crypto coins community for all your time on this forum apart from posting shit about the coins you don't like? This is a rethorical question.

@ofeefee: the ABE block explorer code need to be fixed as it does not support the unique feature of Grain coin (the bonus block reward that is send as a second coinbase tx in the next block). I am looking into the possibility to fix it or to use alternative implementations.
