Solo mining is hard. Where's the pool?



There is an open bounty for an external miner.  No external miner, no pool.

Is the bounty reasonably high so it would justify quality developers to invest resources?

Also, what guarantees are there on its payout? There has been quite some distrust in the NUD community, so a developer might consider it to be risky to write an external miner.

And to anyone complaining about not being able to sync, I have never had any trouble syncing from scratch by just adding addnode=nud.fi, I just did it yesterday and worked fine.

I have seen that some people were able to connect by customizing their configuration. Still, there were many reports of people who could not connect. Access to the network should be easy for everyone, ideally without customizing their configuration at all. So, some people managing to work around the seeding bug does not imply that a fix is a bad thing. Letting all interested users connect adds to the decentralization of the altcoin, and thereby to its robustness.

I would assume the seed node fix would be included in the 0.0.5 release, but as other fixes are in the works, it isn't causing enough of an issue to warrant a new release and confuse people further.

Being confused by a bugfix would indicate severe impairment of cognitive skills, as if the user has been dropped as a child too often. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are tools for the discriminating, smart people. Improving them should not be dictated by possible issues it would create for the cognitively impaired.

Apart from that, the official website does not state any updates for weeks as of now. Malicious gossip would even have it that this resembles what can be seen on AbandonCoins. So, it would normally be expected that bugfixes being posted more often would actually add to the confidence put into the coin.
