Greece is looking more and more like a GIANT version of Cyprus. Hard to imagine this won't have extremely positive effects on the Crypto markets.

Who cares about greece right now?
Whats happening with Megacoin is what i want to know!
I propose a community takeover if Kimoto doesn't get his A into G
I don't think we could hijack this coin without Kimoto's help (Not that I would want to anyway). Without him, I don't see the Megacoin vision ever being realized. Or should I say at least without his help for some time. A community takeover without his blessing would definitely be the end of the line for me.
I still believe that Kimoto's plans were dependent on timing (those gates he talked about). More than that, in my opinion the entire Crypto scene depends on the incompetence of governments and central bankers. The Cyprus debt, and resulting Crypto rally was a piece of rust on the wheels of the financial world. Greece is a flat tire with a broken axle in the scheme of future fiat confidence. If Kimoto is as brilliant as I think he is, and he was able to complete the projects he was working on, then he will have a perfect opportunity coming.
Again, I could be delusional, or there could be any number of reasons it won't happen the way I envision it... But there is no doubt the perfect opportunity will present itself in the near future. All we can do is add some support and wait, or go on our merry way.
Yeah well we will have to wait and see i guess.
This is why its a bad idea to invest in coins with only one or a handful of devs where there is little community input.
Open source should essentially allow others to work on the project as they see fit. If no one is there to take the lead the whole thing will fall apart.
Megacoin is a solid coin, which had a solid dev behind it, why anyone would abandon such work is beyond me, i really hope he is planning some sort of ninja release sometime soon. Something needs to happen, if this project really is as big as he claims, then hopefully its something worth waiting for.
Well that's exactly it... I find it very hard to believe that Kimoto would put this much effort into something and then just abandon it. Not sure how many other coins were translated into 18 or more languages, but I haven't seen any that have a web site that looks as sharp, or have the initial foundation thought out as well. I still believe something is going to happen, I just have no idea what it might be.
As I keep saying about the financial world, I don't believe 99% of the people understand the gravity of the situation. I used to think guys like Ron Paul were nut cases, but they were proven right in 2008. This time anyone with a brain is listening, because the debt has grown by about 40% in that brief time, and the real economy is much worse. I always got the feeling that Kimoto understood this stuff better than anyone. So like I said, either I'm living in a fantasy, or there will be some sort of Megacoin revival. Not much to lose by waiting...
