As it was said in the past, the most logical and optimized way for HYPER salvation is creating a new coin and do a swap. Right? Upgrading just for CPU optimization is frankly not enough, not for this amount of BTC. We would still be facing with the same problem to overcome in the future with more investment.
Right, it would be a waste of money to do one thing for a small fix when for roughly the same amount we could start over.
But even if we decide for this CPU upgrade (approx. 0.40 BTC), there should be a very much needed support from the community. CryptoDatabase, you have done great work so far for the HYPER, but i believe we should set a BTC limit for expressing a support for this upgrade (like max 0.05 BTC donation per community member).
Why? I believe it really doesn't help HYPER in overall future process if there only 1, 2 or even 3 members financed the entire project(s). If there is no support from majority, then all efforts will be in vain in the long term.
I completely agree. If the community does not wish to support the growth of the coin then there is no reason to bother with it.
About setting a final date for fundraising, i find the upcoming 3rd birthday of HYPER as a great turning point in our journey that will determine how things will go
I'm thinking of a closer date, such as 1 week from now. I can't handle 2 more months of this wallet to be honest. Right now I am having to resync the wallet using a fresh wallet.dat because when I use my normal wallet.dat it will kill itself and shut down right when it loads the UI after verifying the blockchain and my addresses. This is my best computer and it can't handle the CPU or RAM usage from loading that wallet.dat and trying to sync.
985k more blocks to sync up and then I will try to import my private keys into the new wallet. If that doesn't work then I'm pretty screwed as I won't be able to send the coins inside of it out.
Hm, you are probably right, why hesitating so long. I just went emotional, again. Damn it. Ok, let say we give ourselves a deadline until the end of next sunday, so
12th March 2017 until midnight.
Next day we take a look at the donation address and will continue from that point on. If we collect enough, as said around 0.40 BTC, there will be some foundation for future talks. If not, well, you can imagine and all donations are then return to their owners.
As I said i will make my donations tomorrow or on tuesday, but only 0.05 BTC as I said in my previous post why.
Later on today i will send mass PM to all who posted here and we will wait for their response.
PS: it feels like we are the only one talking here, along some lone "wanderers" who accidentally come across. Damn it.
