How about the merge with coin2 now they lost their captain too?
Speaking from my experience in community alt coins, I think users need to think realistically. This coin hasn't had a Mac wallet for quite some time. This potentially shows that there hasn't even been low level dev interest in hyper for quite a while. Finding a dev just to maintain the coin in it's current state will not be an easy task. While a coin merger with coin2 sounds cool, I just don't see any dev willing to take this complexity on. Baby steps...
Instead of dreaming about the future of hyper and making suggestions about how the coin should evolve I think users need to start organizing and suggesting how they can donate their own time and funds to keep hyper alive as it currently exists.
Personally, I'd consider creating a Slack group where volunteers can start discussing their skills, their availability, and how best to push forward. Shall we?
The problem with slack for me is that it does not attract any new people to the community because most new people find crypto through this board. However I am up for discussing the way forward here. I see quite a few people voted on the main board poll.
Coin2 is very useful in having a polo listing even some huge coins are not listed there yet.
All we really need is a POS developer to make us a new coin based on a very clean codebase I heard amsterdam coin is the most updated POS or even just use blackcoins straight POS3 or cbx POSp.
The option can be we take the market cap of both coins in a snap shot. Actually coin 2 is roughly double hypers. Which I am not saying is justified and I own far more hyper anyway. That is due to polo listing I guess.
Anyway so a simply way would be take the combined MC of 150k and created a coin with 150,000,000 coins. We do a coins swap or even a clams type wallet where you enter your coin2 wallet and get 2x the new coin and enter your hyper and get 1x the new coin.
To create a Brand new POS3 or POSp coin on a clean non buggy code base is perhaps 0.5BTC then we need the servers and stuff to host the nodes and explorer etc. Would be nice to have a lite wallet too. Obviously android ios wallets and other things can come later. Most importantly we need the big communities we had before to return. I think a brand new start and rebranding could help.
As to keeping a dedicated developer there needs to be incentive so we may want to consider coding in a block tax to a multi sig dev wallet to which the new dev (we can attract) and a few TRUSTED members of this community have dibs on to release the dev funds as and when work is needed.
I think time is the most important factor.
Donations DO NOT WORK nobody wants to pay for everyone else to benefit. So to raise the required BTC (if the dev will not initially dev for hyp3r ) then we need to say something like we either give them super POS rewards for one year like Diamond did or else mint some extra coins with the new coin in a Contributors wallet that will only be released to them over time for the BTC they donate now to get this project started. We need to null the old dev fund pot anyway so that could be divided out to those that contribute BTC now and a hyper rate 10% below market price now to give incentive to donate BTC.
If we hang around and Coin2 loses polo then that is a big blow for us all. If hyper loses trex then its going to be even worse.
Hyper had a large community as did COIn2 if anyone here has skills to create a bot to message all in all the old threads of hyper and coin2 to join in this discussion and get things moving I think that would be the best way forward. If coin2 does not want to join then we can push ahead on our own but would be great to see hyp3r on polo.
Whatever we do let try to get on with it asap.
