I for one am not going to sit around and wait for this coin to jump out of the sewer.  I ripped the bandage off this morning and will take the proceeds on to bigger and better things.  i'll make more not waiting for this thing to get back on track.

As far as the issues go for staking - who cares if this thing ever stakes for you - does it really matter. I had 3 coins and staked twice for like .017.  After that I locked the wallet so it would not stake again as it took far to long to have spendable coins while waiting through all the syncing issues.  Just stop and start the wallet a hundred times a day - gimme a break.

As for the developer - good luck in the future with your new job - I hope I never have to deal with you in the business world and I pity the people that will have to.

I do not regret getting involved in this, but will never own sync again.

Cheers and good luck with your coin.
