Which brings me back to my question does anyone know of someone that would want/be able to take over the coin and develop it more? Or even how one would take over a coin when the dev is gone? I don't have any expertise in developing a coin, only miner and trader. I would be willing to help someone else that has the skills needed to take over the coin.
Have a Good Day
Thanks and Have a Good Day.
If the old dev can be persuaded do a clean handover of all passwords, media accounts, Github etc. than that will be good for the coin. Take a look at how MintCoin are doing a handover.
I agree that would be good. I saw that he logged on today, but didn't post anything. So not sure what that is about. I would PM him and see what he says.
Also I got a ton of messages asking me about all kinds of things, besides the block explorer. I will answer them all, but I am not the dev or even able to take over the coin if that is the direction that is the direct it needs to go. I am just trying to help out. I would like to see the coin do well and will continue to help as I can, like I was when looking for someone to do a block explorer. Just wanted to make sure that most of the info I know is the same as what you know. When I find out things I will post them.
Have a Good Day!
The most successful coins do not rely on a single dev, but have a team of people. Coding skills are not required for everyone, but enthusiasm and energy are. This coin has gone through its PoW stage and is staking now, which has been a difficult transition for some coins, so I think someone needs to look at the code and make sure it is solid. If we don't want/are unable to do the coding involved to bring innovative features in the wallet, then the main focus needs to be on the social networking and marketing side, why should people want to buy and use the coin? Is there a niche market somewhere? Is the microbrewery idea a viable one - discounts if drinks are bought with WHC? Website, Twitter, Facebook and so on.
So we need volunteers and someone to co-ordinate them. Putting together the team and ensuring good communication within the team and the rest-of-the-world is the next step. Not getting hung up on a single 'dev', but rather on 'Co-ordinator' and 'Spokesperson'. I'm not able to do this, sorry. Any volunteers?
