dev please fork, your coin is too good to be destroyed by one greed idiot.
I agree. Has anyone considered if they would be willing to accept a closed-source fork? I think dev has the capability to provide the software necessary to continue.
What do people think?
From a legal standpoint, the MIT license under which ByteCoin was originally published is pretty permissive.
I would not recommend it. No one would trust a closed source cryptocurrency.
I offered to publish an (open source) nVidia GPU miner provided some stratum support is available. What else do you want?
Closed source is not an option. It would kill the coin.
Any fork would only delay Christian. He would adjust his miner and be mining again quickly. What then? Another fork?
Christian has already offered the solution. Develop a stratum pool and cpu miner. He will then rebuild his GPU miner to work on the stratum pool and make it open source.
We have
bounty setup to put towards the stratum pool and cpu miner development. When we receive enough donations, we will attract some talented pool developers (zone117x, LucasJones, etc).
