Hiya minters!
To address your dev concerns:
Our main dev has become busy with another project recently and has suggested we bring in additional dev support. Communication has not been cut and there is plenty of cooperation so we're already at an advantage compared to other times in our past when devs and/or contributors have left suddenly or disappeared. Crypto moves fast, things change and evolve. I am already speaking with multiple devs and we're working on beefing up our dev fund to offer compensation to the right individual(s).
It's super easy for anyone to support mintcoin now without any effort, just by leaving a webpage open. As MintyAllDay announced above, you can now mine Monero thru mintymintcoin.com/Contribute.html to support the dev fund. This is great news for the contributors that don't have the time to help…now you can!
We don't have a "current" road map. Mintcoin is a small team of volunteers and we prefer to not pre-announce milestones unless we absolutely know they will become reality. Most contributors prefer to keep their heads down and working rather then fabricating a loose roadmap which will unlikely be completed as it is outlined. Being a decentralized and open source software platform has it's challenges but I think most long time contributors will agree, when new contributors enter the fray it can change the dynamic of how we work and what becomes of that work. While I am always speaking with multiple contributors in an attempt to help manage a cohesive platform thru their contributions, I do not have total control over any contributing individuals and currently there are no paid mintcoin employees. The dev funds (MINT, XMR) are an attempt to add a working budget which allows for many of the features that users request.
Work on the website re-design continues. Dev funds are currently expected to go towards wallet optimizations and improvements. Other surprises are in the pipeline. Mint has delivered with absolutely no budget or central authority thru years. I'm happy to say that I'm a mintcoin contributor. While we may not be able to move at your favorite ICO coin's pace, it does not mean that nothing is happening.
The future is honest, transparent, and decentralized. The future is minty green.
thanks for this update, this is much appreciated. Better to be aware of some delays or change in the dev agenda than
staying in the dark.
appreciate as well your transparency.
All the best for the future!
