As far as I can tell a lot of people have mined Kudos. A lot of effort, hardware and energy were invested. The original developer and those that came afterward do not respond. It seems like Kudos is dead in the water. What a waste.
I thought long and hard. Being a developer for quiet some years now I think I should be able to provide some basic maintenance, developer support, and learn along the way. Maybe I am to lightheartedly about it, maybe not. Bottom line is that I am willing to spend my spare time in order to get Kudos back on track.
So I have a proposal. (Keep in mind that I am an employee and also have to spend time with my wife and children.) Give me two months to realize an update of the Kudos client. In return I want to ask all of you to start mining Kudos again. You can reply and say “I'm in!” but the only true reply is seeing the hash rate going up (and up and up and up).
When I see the hash rate going up I will start working (read mostly learning). I will update you all at least once a week about the progress I am making. Even when there is nothing to report, I will say so.
When do I start? Well, it has to be a joined effort. The day the hash rate hits (and of course stays) 20Mh/s or more is the day I will file my first report. That day plus two months is the day I have to deliver. IMHU it works both ways. When you all contribute to the hash rate you know in return someone is working and when I do not file my reports you can simply stop your hash rate contribution. When I see the hash rate go up I know there is a community that is willing to support me and when the hash rate will not go up or goes down again I know I either blew it or I was flogging a dead horse.

So, it's up to all of you now when I have to file my first report!
