Ok people really? This has turned into one royal fuck up yes, BUT from what I can tell the Dev is trying to get this issue fixed, not to mention at least he had the fucking balls to come on here and fess up to what was going on knowing full well what kind of reaction it would get.
Are there holes in his story still? Yes, but once again at least he is letting us know what is happening. I think he had his chance and this coin needs a community takeover, get a/some experienced devs in here to fix the issues and take over.
Silkcoin, I would say transfer the 8 BTC to Q or a trusted escrow like OG nasty or some such and sit back and let real devs handle the issues but for the love of Christ stay in contact with them if they have questions. IF they manage to save SC I will personally re compensate you with a portion of my SC bag just for being a man and letting us know what was happening.
I know I will be holding all of my SC in case we can get a real team to step in and fix the confirmation error, the mint pal api issue causing wallet 1.0.9.2 crash, and a MAC wallet compiled.
I am no coder but these issues seem like they would be child's play for an experienced dev to hammer out in a day or two if not sooner I mean don't the amount of confirms needed for coins get changed all the time? And the api just needs to be replaced with the new mint pal api and the wallet just needs a MAC compile jesus h Christ people quit freaking the fuck out and DO something to help fix it
If you want to save the coin I think a wallet should be put out that uses the new bitcoin source that addresses the heartbleed.
Take out all the fancy market stuff for now. It is not needed and takes more troubleshooting. You need to get a stable AND secure wallet out.
After the coin is moving, staking, and trading...then you can sit down and figure out where to go...
Just my thoughts...
