let me also add a little background of myself to the thread.

im an IT professional who has worked in the industry for going on 20 years. for the past 5 years ive specialized in Point of Sale related technolgies and service. i am trained in programming and project management however im just not a professional c++ coder. throughout my career my service has been impeccable and have always been a highly valued member of staff anywhere i worked. i also have a long track record of solving "unsolvable problems" plaguing those companies for sometimes years at just about every company i have worked for in my career.

there is much going for us who choose to help bring this coin to fruition that is already sort of in place. all we need now is.. The Coin. i have many connections in the point of sale industry and know how to cut a clear path for currency to be accepted commercially as well as what investors are looking for. this coin will be designed to be an investment opportunity for hardcore investors and community participants.

i know the question on everyone's mind is "how do you protect the value of the stock from increasing hashpower and slowing demand."  or "how will this coin prevent dumping".  but how much is it to pay a dev to develop this and find out. a couple btc? for the most part he will just have to cut and paste code and make edits to the algorithms behaviour in the blockchain as i specify. i am certain that if everyone on btctalk puts just a little we can make up the cost.

perhaps we can guarantee initial investors a share of coins which will be programmed into a premine. all of which would go to those investors.

is it possible we could have some pledges posted towards dev fees so i can add the funds raised to the topic title?
