tanx guys ...
tanx for your kind words and for the interest you are showing ...
its a pleasure to know that solid members of the crypto community have such good things to say ...
there is a lot going on in the background - and as i dont publish too much about ifs maybes and 'roadmap' - it does look like the project is at a little standstill ... it was for a couple of weeks through christmas and new years and january - as i had to personally do a smaller move and preparing for a much larger move in 4weeks time ...
but i can assure you i am now not the only one working in the background on granite ... in fact there are three of us that are firmly planted in getting a lot done - with others that are contracted in to do their part ...
there is a compilation issue currently that has stumped me i have to admit - and that will be fixed shortly as soon as i can find why granite daemon suddenly crashes after compilation ... this doesnt happen for all compiles - just a few select ones ...
we know bdb and boost have been updated in most os systems - and gcc has had an upgrade as well ... so we are looking into the code to see what it is that could be clashing with the new updates ...
apart from that - the new website is finished at its base - has most of the items in place - and will be published when they are all done ... ( if you would like a sneak preview and test of the site - please pm ... only a few will be able to at any one time for the moment ) ...
the new layout is better than the old ...
the new structure will mean a much easier process for updates and addons ...
theforum will start to be used more often as means of communication ...
the integration ( not a hyperlink to another site ) of the official granite pool inside the website means access to mining without leaving the site ...
the new shopping module added and working well ...
the shopping system requires a backend payment processor for granite and btc and aud - as well as the currently available usd and eu ...
the rebase of the granite code to a granitenode ( masternode / PoS ) system is heavily debated ... and may go ahead of schedule if it can be decided as to how much benefit we will be able to retain from such a system ... especially with the current issue of compilation - the rebase is being considered even more intently ...
options and inclusions for integration into the wallet - including bleutrade and safecex trading ( as we are now on two exchanges currently ) are currently being setup ... as well as a few other ideas and integration which are just on paper at the moment ( so id rather not say anything about them until i can be sure we can get them done ) ... hence why there is no 'roadmap' or promises ... just 'stuff getting done' ..
thefarm will also play a part in the granite ecosystem - which means mining will become a major part of granite ... after all i started as a miner first and foremost - and this is a miners coin ...
thefarm will also play a large part in the granitefund ... a place where btc and granite can be help for expenses and purchases ... whether they be to pay devs or contractors or marketing or otherwise ...
we are now mined on a few different pools currently ( such as hashpower - yiimp to name a couple ) with a few waiting for the code fix to compile ( zpool - miningpoolhub to name a couple also ) ...
and if you have other miners that you want to set to mining other than a gpu ( such as an asic or fpga that does sha256 and scrypt ) the steakcloud has implemented granite as a payout coin - using any of the three big algos they have currently avalable - sha256 scrypt x11 ...
http://pool.steakcloud.com/ ...
there are discussions for another coin to join the ecosystem - but negotiations are only just being done ... this is ongoing for the moment and will be finalized when we can agree on the terms - and it seems its going well for the time being ...
as for co-operation between crypto - im an advocate of that premise in a massive way ... currently working alongside the dev of droidz to fix the issue droidz have just had - supporting and helping evergreencoin ( evergreencoindev - steven saxton ) in backend infrastructure with seednodes - as with mastertradercoin ( mastertrader777 ) and bitstone ( bitstonedev ) in the same ... their core seednodes are also part of our granite infrastructure ( and some have hardcoded our seednodes into the core code ) as granite continues to support more in the future using its infrastructure ...
it makes me a very happy man to have the likes of respectable community members such as yourselves and others as my peers ... during the course of this year - we will bring out all that we have been working on in stages ... stages of completion - as soon as its complete - its published
... as no part of the development relies on any other except for the core daemon ...
once again - tanx for the positive feedback ...
