After developer gets in contact with me, tomorrow, when he wakes up..
I'm giving him 4 hours, to finish what he started.
I asked him if he'd be able to deliver H2O on time, before countdown hits 0, he confirmed.
This deal is breaking ( if he doesn't deliver in those 4 hours ), since he failed to deliver on time.
If he fails on that,
I'm offering 3BTCfrom the IPO to a reputable developer of BCT, to make H2O.
( That's the deal. Don't ask more. Contact me if you're interested and you know what/how to do it. You'll have a deadline of 6 hours. )
- Disclaimer. You will be paid directly by escrow.ms before he sends any funds to me.
One more time, sorry for everything. This shouldn't happen in the first place.
Yours,
@ThisWeeksCoin
This is totally stupid, you know that a new dev will mostly start from scratch... (and if I was the dev being on the verge of being fired, I would delete everything...).
Instead of changing team everyday. Let them finish their job.
I'm a business person. A business man.
I respect people's time and I expect they respect my time as well. ( And other people's in this case. )
When you make deals in business, you expect you'll have what you asked for on time.
Is that wrong?
You should have the coin up and going on testnet and fully run through your launch ahead of time, before committing to dates and times, especially if you have a dependency on other people hitting their deliverables. You don't want to be throwing it together at the last minute. And you want to catch any oversights before you are live - e.g., did the dev remember to update the alert key? Hex addresses for dns seeds? etc. The actual launch/go-live should be relatively anti-climactic if you have done it right, because you've already shaken it out and you are simply publishing links and source.
I agree with a previous poster - you should've started with a soft launch of a fun coin to learn first and pick up some experience.
Now you're in the unenviable position where you are not only dealing with launch issues, but damage to your brand that you have been working at building up for awhile now on Twitter etc.
Here's my unsolicited launch and business advice:
- Give yourself plenty of time
- Get everything running on testnet and run through a rehearsal of your launch procedure
- Get another dev to put a second set of eyes on the code and just do a quick check for the common issues - there are a number of things that are not widely publicized in "make your own coin" guides but that experienced devs will immediately know to look for.
- Keep your back-of-the-house issues back-of-the-house. Protect your brand. Put your game face on for front-of-the-house presentation and be clear and confident.
I now fully understand the reaction I got after posting my own IPO, I was a little puzzled at first, but if this is how its been going lately then it is no wonder. I mean holy shit dude, how do you manage this after all the build up with your brand and pulling a nice chunk of IPO funds, it is astonishing for someone claiming to be a business man. Well, I suppose on the bright side you'll come out of this with some experience from the school of hard knocks and be better prepared for your next launch.
You need to regroup and push your launch out another week or two. For an experienced team I would say you need a couple of hours to fix your coin, some time to do your builds, and a day to run it through tests and doublecheck your infrastructure. Multiply by, well, a lot since you are not yet clueful.
