- One of the few important things that you're missing is
the recent 51% solution to mining pools. Add that to your protocol/software and you'll go a long way to have a altcoin/altchain of major significance.
Well I'll keep that in mind but we already have a lot on our plate and I don't feel like pools pose a significant threat. People tend to leave pools when they become too large anyway.
Hmm.. myopia from the outset is not a good sign for the project, especially when such assumptions have been proven demonstrably false already.
- You use "we" frequently in your writings but it sounds like you mean to say "I". If you have multiple people working on this you should make that clear by mentioning their names.
There were several people involved in the development of the scheme and I have two developers working on the implementation. Some of them would prefer to remain anonymous so I refrain from mentioning names when possible.
"Some" or "all" wish to remain anonymous? If "some", then why aren't you mentioning the names of those who don't wish to be anonymous?
- Your other thread seems to indicate that you're already mining and giving away coins?
No, that is a test thread where the client must run in testnet mode. Any coins mined in those tests will be lost, we've already had to reset the blockchain one or two times due to changes we made in the protocol.
Ah, that's good to hear.
