LOL, I wasn't.

Months ago, when XNC still had some hashpower on it's network, I tried to jump in, offer code patches, and so on - to support the coin.  The developer in a nutshell told me to go fuck myself, then continued to abandon his coin to the point where his domains are gone - there is no seed nodes left.  There's barely two permanent nodes out there that everyone is using to keep the blockchain on life-support.

I didn't want to step on toes by any means -- only tried to give back to a coin I was mining.  After that episode, I deleted my github repos, nuked the updated source off my local dev server and said fuck it.  I've worked on another coin for several months - but it's not ready yet.  In the meantime - you guys are life-supporting a coin - that is literally a mirror fork of LTC code from 0.6.3 (give or take with a couple hacks by the dev of XNC)...  With testing, the code could be brought up to current LTC levels, and some checkpoints added to the client.  If a fork was voted for, a better difficulty algo could be implemented that would protect the coin from 'mining pools' -- but again -- I nuked most of my updates after being slapped in the face by someone who apparently deliberately trying to tank their own coin...

For you guys, I would put in updates -- make the code available on Github, etc -- I can build linux (debian jessie) clients, and windows clients - can't help you on a mac client though...
