Why the new thread ?
Going to try skirt around the drama, but long story short, developer abandoned the project, renamed Blackcoin and is forcing a fork without consensus. Being Blackcoin's birthday, suiting for us to continue without him and wish him all the best.
I think it's worth noting that Blackcoin does still have active developers doing amazing stuff and have been doing so for years while the original guy who launched the coin faded into obscurity. Blackcoin is a pure community driven effort, a totally unique proposition in this day and age. And has proven itself over 4 years as reliable and solid. Maybe this thread will find some people who've never heard of it. It's worth getting involved, anyone can make a difference here.
