I don't know anything about trucoin's new wallet dev team, but I assure You there is no hardfork possible without alert keys and checkpoint keys, so only thing he can change is graphics, text, and version number.
Not to rain on anybodies parade, but this is completely untrue.
If one does a hard fork, one simply replaces the alert key and checkpoint key in the hardforked release.In a hardfork ANYTHING can be changed.
Whether or not the hardfork is successful is fully dependent on whether users adopt the new client (hardfork) or stick with the old client (no fork).
I am not saying that Bitbar should hard forked or not. If anything , it would make my life a bit more difficult as far as the explorer is concerned.
From what I have been told there is a POS rounding issue and a wallet corruption issue that needs to be dealt with. I have not dug far enough in the code to determine if these require a hardfork to fix or not, but most likely any change in the rounding algo for POS will require one.
BItBardev, from one dev to another, you are much better off welcoming help and getting issues fixed. Trying to throw up a false wall will only hurt the cause, not help it.
