This thread never makes note of what exactly was redesigned and is almost entirely about redesigning the logo.
What's so different about this coin now from before that warranted the creation of an entirely new thread?
my apologies for the time taken to respond - but that unfortunately is where life steps in
you are right majeis ... most of the thread has been in response to the redo of the logo and not much else ...
even the logo istself is at a standstill as the design volunteer is dealing with illness and cannot continue redesigning ...
i took over the management/responsibility of the coin after the original owner could not continue due to lack of time ( amongst other things ) and still had control over most of the back end and domain ...
he was very helpful in the transfer and very patient as well - as i took it entirely on the basis that it was a project ( and massive learning curve ) to the crypto world ...
hence the start of a new thread - a new direction - a new idea base ... but mostly of a foundation for the development of granitecoin ...
this was what ( i believe ) justified a new thread ... apart from a new direction for the coin ... my belief is also that grn is a good base for a better cryptocurrency ...
i am not the developer ... i believe that the original developer did a great job ... in fact - i have been in negotiations with a few developers and for one reason or another - negotiations fall through ... so as far as features and implementation of ideas and productive growth is concerned - they are all still 'on the drawing board' ... and as of late - not much has happened with the redevelopment due to lack of help and support ...
interest is still there in granitecoin ( and before you say it - no not just by me hehehe ) - and i did not 'take it on' just to 'let it go' when the going gets tough - or in this case - when the going gets slow ...
so here we are ... i am doing what i can with the little time i have and the ( even less ) help that im given to keep grn going ...
why dont i give up ( as ive been told many a time to - or to start my own coin based on the ideas i have for grn ) ? ... because its a good basic coin which can be built upon - with the right tools and the right people behind it ... i have the most of the ideas and infrastructure - i have the help from those that do volunteer their time to test and question and input ( which im very thankful for ) - i have the commitment ... what i dont have is the last piece of the puzzle ... a good developer ...
apart from all that - its a project that i knew would be a hard slog - and not one i intend on letting go anytime soon ... no matter how small or large it may get - unless something catastrophic occurs of course ...
grn is a basic miners coin - its long PoW period attests to that ... it provides no promises for anonymity ( or ANY promises for that matter ) or false ideals to misdirect peoples interest as most other 'scam' coins have done ... this is not the intent at all ... its simple - it can be used for trade or collection or payment without the hype of massive amounts of promises that most PoW/PoS or hybrid coins have ... and as far as i ( along with those that are still behind grn ) am concerned - it will be around for a long time to come - or as long as i can maintain it ...
so in answer to your question - what so different? ... nothing at the moment - until i get a reliable and solid team together ...
besides - you need to have fun doing this 'crypto thing' as well as make money if the chance comes about ... who knows what the future holds for any of these cryptocurrencies ... may as well enjoy them while they all still exist ... and ride the wave if they succeed ... with a big smile
i really appreciate your questions - and input ...
