questions from someone new to this coin to others in this discussion thread who've been more closely following it:
could anyone summarise what's special about it?
were basic aspects ready at launch - wallet, blockexplorer, website, whitepaper and/or features, etc. - or is the [ANN] promise-heavy?
have the devs delivered on their promises?
Any hidden problems -
premines?
instamines?
well distributed? is there a rich list?
buggy code?
are these are hard core programmers, not "copy-paste" devs or middlemen? When bugs/fork challenge pop up, are they fixed quickly?
dev squabbles?
dev complacency?
missed deadlines?
any "proof of developer"? Is the entirte dev team anonymous -- and even if so, does it at least have a solid reputation here on bitcointalk?
How does the coin production/distribution setup provide insulation from the risk of massive miner/whale dumps? Is there an estimate out there of the max # of daily BTC trading volume that might be needed to absorb mined coins?
Anything to worry about?
When is the next significant development update (code, screenshots and/or whitepaper/proof-of-concept or something else?) expected to come out?
I would love to answer most of your questions but please read the full announcement on the 1st page of this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=668572.0 All the details in the RhinoCoinXRC announcement have been well thought-out, scrutinized and vetted to the best of our ability. We have put a lot of work into this project and would appreciate if you read the announcement and check out the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaBsf1QLRM4 as they will most likely answer many if not all your questions or you might get a new idea or question that comes to mind. Most importantly it is probably wise to do your own research before you invest in any crypto currency.
I have submitted myself and RhinoCoin XRC to the Proof-of-Developer project moderated by CryptoAsian and can be found here:
