Ok everyone. Time for updates. The Dev I was working with has decided that this is too big of a project for him, and has asked me to look for help elsewhere. I do not believe he has done much work, and the amount of money paid to him so far was not the entirety of the 1 BTC he was contracted for, so going forward, here is where we are.
Apparently we have forks that have corrupted the block chains into 'multiple' blockchains. According to this Dev I was working with, we need a Dev to:
[2:08:10 PM] DEV: 1-choose a chain
[2:08:23 PM] DEV: 2-get a lot of checkpoints from that chain
[2:08:49 PM] DEV: make a new wallet with all those checkpoints and tell everyone to delete their .rawcoin folder and keep the wallet .dat
My wallet is currently giving me C++ Runtime errors when I try to boot it up, this started after the current DEV I was paying told me to start checking my 'getblockhash' in my debug console every 10,000 blocks, so that he could ensure the 'correct' blockchain would be following the one I was on.
After the first check, boom, the wallet shut down, and despite all the uninstall, reinstalls, deletion of roaming except for wallet.dat, etc. I am having no luck with the wallet.
I have personally written several Devs of other coins asking for their help and feedback to fix the issues currently facing RAW. I understand the work could take several hours, or possibly days, to have it done up correctly.
I would also need to have the code 'pulled' to my personal github so that I could control the code and contract out any further work going forward, without worry of manipulation or destruction of the code.
I am likely the largest bagholder there is for RAW right now, so I am in the same boat as everyone else, except I plan on doing something about it. Club #RawMetals was a smashing success despite only being used for 1 month, and those who received packages can attest that it would indeed be a great idea to hold & Stake RAW, become a top 10 Club Member, and have precious metals mailed to your door step monthly. Pretty great, innovative, and an idea that hasn't been done by coins that have 100X the market cap of RAW with no TRUE REAL WORLD VALUE.
So here is where I am at now, I am willing to bounty 1 BTC & 100,000 RAW to anyone who can & WILL fix the issues plaguing RAW, and get it back to a functional, solid source, and working Coin. If you read this message board and can code, or help, or contact someone who can do the above, then please let me know.
I suppose another option would be for me to create a new coin of my own, forking off of some other POS coin, and introducing my idea in that format. Or I could take over some other abandoned coin that has a tiny market cap but the code is solid, and I could buy up a decent % of the float before offering my Club Metals program, to incentivize others to buy in and participate in the new community.
I do like RAW, and I hold a Huge Bag, but since I am not a coder, and I have had little success getting a coder or DEV to work with me, I am at somewhat of an impasse.
I think RAW can easily be a 10X coin from where we are today in 1-3 months time if we can get some people to step up and take leadership roles. I have taken mine, but someone out there with programming skills needs to join the fray. The stakes are legit. 1 BTC and 100,000 RAW FOR STARTERS. I would consider a guaranteed # of months of Club RAW METALS membership as well.
Thoughts, comments, ideas, etc. welcomed.
Lets DO THIS
