My theory is bolzer is busy working on his own coin. One of his last post says that an update is due for Murraycoin on July 4th.

... I have some commitments I have made to some other coin communities that will keep me somewhat occupied throughout the remainder of the week; ...
Keep in mind Murraycoin automatically switches over to Scrypt-2048 on July 4th ...

I would expect bholzer to make contact by next week.
Until then...

+1. I would rather donate 1/2 my coins to hire devs to to assist in the project and make my last 1/2 worth more then to cash out now. It's a bigger risk, but I believe it'll be a bigger reward at the end and a heck of a lot more satisfying!
YES
... At this point bholzer is going to make sure the wallet it stable, nothing more. We have to find a dev now, until then everything else is speculation and dreams.
Agreed!
I think we all need to go back and read bholzer's first post. His first recommendation is to start a fundraiser. If we want to save this coin and our investments we need to raise capital to pay a developer.
... this is some general information on how I would like to proceed:
1. We organize a fundraiser and set a fundraiser goal (a la Kickstarter) based on the amount we determine we need in order to rebuild this coin the right way and turn it into a success. The budget details will be broken down so everybody is on the same page regarding where the funds will go and how they will be handled. If the goal is not met by the set date (we will keep the window brief, 2-3 days maximum, to ensure we move through this process quickly), all contributions will be returned to sender and we will go back to the drawing board, come up with a lower budget plan, and restart the fundraiser with a reduced goal. If we exceed the goal at any time, the entirety of the excess will go toward marketing. Everything will be transparent every step of the way; we need to establish trust and ensure all operations are visible and strict records are kept in regard to the finances. We will maintain a public ledger and if we end up with a surplus at any point we can determine how to use it via community polling. If certain development details/plans/etc have to kept secret for competition reasons, that is obviously understandable; however, anything relating to the finances must be transparent to the maximum reasonable degree. Leveraging an escrow service would likely be the best play here and we should discuss options (I have limited experience with the available escrow services)."
Once we raise enough funds we can hire talent and get them vested in the economy. If bholzer does a good job maybe we can convince him with a little SILK to stay with us for awhile
If not, at least we have money to put up an ad or something to hire a development team.
I don't know shit about developing or coding or the blockchain or wallets or whatever the fuck. Thats not my job. But I do have some money.
So here is 25,000 SILK to our development fund. I already donated 2,500 earlier. I will donate some more if I see others do the same.
I encourage you all to step up to the plate, put your money where your mouth is and buy while its cheap.
