Hiya folks, sorry I've been gone a while, busy with my job/USD work as of late... But, hey I'm still running wallets (masternodes and staking) here too, 24/7...
A couple of things though...
1. It seems folks have been scripting requests to the faucet, which has seriously outpaced the earnings from the underlying wallet staking for a while... So, now the faucet's balance is 0 8bit... So, it's dead... If the community at large see's the faucet as valuable, we're going to need to get some donations going to the faucet... That said, let's discuss this a bit before anyone jumps into donations for the wallet, as some new script-proof code would be a good idea before we relaunch things.
2. I still don't code C for shit, but I'm more than happy to help with the efforts to relaunch the wallet with new code. 18 years designing and building UNIX/Linux networks has given me some valuable skills. So, assuming there's interest, I'm more than happy to apply those IT and project management skills to the 8bit ecosystem in any way I can.
As recently said here, this is an absolute gem of an altcoin. The potential here is still absolutely amazing, it just requires a realistic amount of work behind the scenes to get things rolling again... Is there any interest in getting the real players here together (slack, irc, zoom, whatever!) and hammering out a road-map, goals, accountability/rewards, and timelines to get this all back on-track? Bueller?
Always willing to help....I will send some 8 bit to the faucet tomorrow. OK, Sent.... A couple of things though...
