Re: [ANN][CRAIG] CraigsCoin | CLASSIFIED ADS ON BLOCKCHAIN 5+ POD BITTREX, CRYPTSY
Allow me to provide some explanation on whats going on with the site and development.
As far as you know I used joomla as an engine for the listing website and hired people to bring website ASAP after the coin launch. At that time most important for me was to sustain the price in order to support investors so I realized that updates must be made really fast and at any cost. I made a deal with the team of web programmers to pay their efforts for being 24/7 available online for develop and support. Their price was really high as you can imagine (i mentioned that few times). However few weeks of that rush was enough to realize that throwing unreasonable money into development to bring up things fast is not nearly enough to keep the price anywhere near the ICO value. I started negotiations with the developers to drop 24/7 attendance policy but guys were obviously spoiled by what I already gave them. Because of that I had to end our relations. In the result there were a completely new person digging into the code for a couple of weeks before he end up stuck and I had once again find another person to continue. I hope you understand that finding a right person, interviewing him, giving him test task and explaining what is going on consumes time. For now there is 5 days ETA for next update, but we constantly run into the bugs and errors made by the initial team.
Now regarding the question about me quitting the job - this is not an option right now. In lights of economic crisis in Russia and possible cryptocurrency ban i can not risk loosing financial stability that main job can offer.
P.S. I'll clean the mess in thread later.

I warned Pavel via PM way back that using Joomla will bring a host of issues ranging from bugs, back doors , slow site load times on heavy traffic.
Wordpress is a far better option for the listings site as it can scale optimally as many big sites have been built on it. There devs that can do this for MAX 20BTC.
We at Whive have been involved in the revival of PesaCoin and the devs that are working on it costed it at $2,000 for 2 months work. They are currently working on a $150 donation
I do not think Pavel is a scammer but he needs to consult widely with community before hiring devs. If your devs cant build a simple listing site how will they build a decentralized P2P search engine.
They are great ideas that community has offered here that can be implemented with $200 BTC raised so there shouldn't be excuses Pavel!!
Yeah well I remember your PM and in fact at that point it was too late since decision and commitments was already made. At that point I must admit I thought only of how fast I can update things and show those updates to the public.
I believe in you. You definitely need to find a competent dev, why not ask members of BlockNet? They have the best devs in crypto and would give you the best work possible. Plus that would help your relations with their network.
Or perhaps you could figure out the top 3 or 5 applicants, then give them a test to see which is the best. Dude you had over 300 BTC from the ICO, you have more than enough to pay developers.
Why not just build an entirely new website? Get a format that looks sleek, modern, think Apple.
