Hey all, I am going to start focusing on wallet development for other coins.  Hope you enjoy the wallet TEK has!  Any build/source code questions should be directed towards thundertoe.  Keep on staking  Roll Eyes

Will you release it as 1.3 ?

There are still a few things left that would need to be done before I would feel comfortable releasing it out to the public. Also I would like to focus on a coin that I can be considered the official developer for, instead of having someone get the glory and the final say for the coin.  I would be happy to continue to work on TEK because I have become so intricately familiar with the source code, but again I am not going to waste my time.

One of the most known members of the community (~8,000 twitter followers) is encouraging me to throw a community led coup d'etat and officially take over TEK making thundertoe nothing more than a cheerleader.  One of the beauties of an open source coin is that it is really the community's choice what happens, not a single centralized person.  I have had several respectable members of the community contact me and tell me not to get involved in TEK because of thundertoe.

I am not particularly interested in getting in a dramatic battle for developer status for TEK, especially with someone that I have heard a lot of horror stories about.  So for now, you will have to get thundertoe to make any needed changes to the code and to compile and release a new version of the wallet.

If you want to discuss it in more detail, send me a PM and we can talk privately.    

I am sorry you feel that way, i hope you have a nice day.

I'm a bit taken aback by this. I thought all was well betwixt you guys.

I don't know who's slingin' shit, and honestly don't care, but I am going to say that both of you gentlemen have been very good to me when I had (sometimes stupid) questions. TEK is my favorite coin, and was even before Presstab's improved wallet. What he brought to the table was quite nice, and what you had already accomplished was very cool as well.

I can see the desire to have your own deal. That part makes sense, but WTF with the personal shit?
