Would love to see a new and innovative feature come to JUDGE coin.
The purpose of alt coins is to innovate. And the ones to do so are rewarded with
people's investment money.

JUDGE coin's specs and the dev behind it are fantastic.
Mining is over and JudgeCrypto is a known and fair member of this forum.

All that is needed now is some new tech to spice things up.
Any ideas?

Hey YoyodyneSystems!

Thanks for your feedback. I would like to address your thoughts.

First of all thanks for your support! I am open to discuss any development tracks that the community proposes.

The balancing act I try to maintain is to let people know where we are headed while trying to prevent organized pump and dumps. As soon as I say "Judge Coin is working on XYZ" there will be tweets and posts that say "Judge Coin is developing XYZ" then they will push up the price... people will buy in... then they will dump. People get hurt like that. Heck, if I say I am thinking about a feature people will use that.

When we launched we had no lead developer. I hired a good quality experienced dev for launch. I was very open in the OP when we launched that we had no dev. Since then we have picked up a great lead developer in Sigwo. He has already made a few adjustments to the wallet like DNS Seed nodes and starting checkpoints. Nothing hype worthy, but good solid development.

Philosophy wise, I am against putting everything and the kitchen sink into Judge Coin. The wallet should not be a mash of mangled features or a dog and pony show. To me a good wallet should do its job in a secure fashion as to inspire financial confidence. New cutting edge features open attack vectors that put peoples money at risk. Look at your all your software and how many updates it takes to fix bugs. I want a simple wallet with external links for external functions. I had the built in block explorer taken out. As the code was very limited it did not serve a useful purpose. Instead we put an external link in to a full featured block explorer.

Development wise our developers immediate task is to finish the multipool. It will mine other coins and pay out in Judge Coin. It may not seem sexy or in as many have done it, but it is part of the foundation that I am building.

The next development task is to work on an Online Wallet. We have the VPS server and the dev is putting a small amount of time in that while working on the multipool. An online wallet opens up mobile devices which will help in the use of the coin. I don't want to rush the online wallet as to me security should be the most important aspect.

I have been considering a Tor project. I would not do it for anon as I do not believe anon is critical. I would see it as a piece to mask the identity of pos peers. If I were to implement Tor I would either outsource a Tor dev that successfully implemented it or give a large amount of time for our Dev to copy working code and thoroughly test. It is not something I would slap together and release in a week. Code forks are BAD, unplanned forks can kill confidence in a coin!

I welcome Community run projects. Gizfreak has started an Augmented Reality project and I have given him his own forum on the website

Any other community members may contact me with their projects and I will make them a forum to organize it. I have an idea for a community driven site, but will not post it here. Maybe it is something that can be done by the lead dev after the online wallet.

On a parallel path we are working on getting Judge Coin on CoinPayments.net so that we can have their API for websites to accept Judge Coin.

Once we have the API we will be hitting websites to accept Judge Coin. At first it will be slow, but once more and more sites accept Judge Coin, I think the process will get easier.

Judge Coin development will not be as exciting as some other coin launches. At the same time you can go to sleep at night better knowing that a real team is behind the coin and I have published my name and credentials to back up this coin!
