Will this be a fork that Payu does not approve?
The fork will have 100% approval by Payu, but before it happens we need to fix a few issues.
Any fork will have to have Payu's approval I think to be adopted. Otherwise people won't update.
The main problem I see at the moment is that very very basic technical needs that are being completely ignored. There are users on this forum for example that will build a simple block explorer same day for little cost.
Also the client syncing issue needs to be addressed by the development team.
You are completely right. In the coming days we will release an updated wallet that solves syncing issues and host a working block explorer
