The Mano team is extremely happy to be able to introduce Pecunia to our community
After numerous discussions, the Mano team believe that Pecunia are most suited to take Mano forward. Pecunia are a well known masternode hosting provider with a great track record in the crypto space. While there are a multitude of reasons we believe Pecunia will offer the best chance of success for Mano, I'd like to highlight just a couple : -
- They have fantastic customer support.
- Pecunia already have a large install base and know how to grow a business.
- As Pecunia is a market leader in hosting services, Mano will be able to grow much faster than if we tried to do so independently.
- They are able to offer competitive hosting rates and a proven technical solution.
- Pecunia have a vision for Mano that may help to make more utility for the coin
- While hosting services will always be important for Pecunia, they have a team of developers that will be able to bring new services to fruition.
Pecunia is a large piece of the puzzle, but to succeed we need one more thing - you! Over the past couple of years we have had some incredible community support in all facets of the project. It's led to us being able to do things internally that I would never have expected to happen without funds. Things like an automated system for coin listings, a great block explorer, help with all different types of media, creation of our internal doc repository (and the list goes on). To help secure a positive future for Mano, we need to continue to draw on the talents of the community and get everyone more involved. We're going to be taking a few steps over the next weeks to start this off :-
- We will be making some role changes in Discord. Ben and I will shortly be transferred to the "contributors" role. Anyone can become a contributor if they are willing to commit time or skills to the project. Mods and Community Manager roles will be obsoleted and permissions needed will be added to the contributors role.
- We are going to get back online with all the social channels.
- We will start building the community based on user suggestions.
- Mano nodes will become free to host.
The above is a very broad run down and leaves out the specifics. The Pecunia team will be welcomed to our Discord channel next week to discuss their plans for the project and they will be able to provide more details. Relevant details from these discussions will be posted here on Bitcointalk. Ben and I will assist with the transition, and the community will become more invested in Mano’s success.
The TL;DR is that by having free hosting for Mano nodes, competitive pricing for hosting services, upcoming additional coin liquidity/use cases and a talented community supporting the project we have a real shot to make something great.
