Just a suggestion, I feel that a lot of cryptocurrency lack simplification for mass adoption and requires an above-average knowledge of tech. You guys could really break ground by making all the features simple and accessible by making it so a baby could use it, so to speak.
Also will any pre-mine occur or is this 100% fair launch?
This is in large part what is causing us to go slowly. Much of the refactoring we are doing is to separate and simplify functions. We are working on setting up css as the main way to handle themes and look of the wallet.
Hardwiring as many of the major items we use in a wallet (or would like to) as possible. Mining is the first we updated. Staking is next, we will be renaming it to interest in the wallet for example. And we are working on integrating a fork selection process to ensure you can stay on the right chain even as a layman.
As for a fair launch, we want it to be fair, thats why we will be setting up a donation system directly from the wallet ( or another system) we didn't decide yet. To ensure we can be paid based on merit of the work users see.
Some ideas for donations we have floated we could use feedback on....
1. Auto populated address in a banner explaining we need donations.
2. Minimal % of network fees auto donated to dev team ( can be turned off in settings) probably around 0.5% fee or something small that noone would miss.
3. Destroyed coins sent to dev team for first year.
These are just examples, but please let us know what would be the best way to make users happy and simultaneously allow us to cover expenses while working continuously on the coin.
Once we have escrow setup, we also should be able to do a Kickstarter inside the wallet similar to tokens, but this is not finished yet. This is another possibility for funding dev team.
If anyone has any feature questions or ideas please pass them to us now so we can continue to integrate them as we get closer.
This seems very promising, This thread was on my watchlist for a while I thought it was dead. I'm really glad development is still ongoing, steady growth is really nice to see these days.
