The code is complex and is not just a copy/paste job. We have spent over 5 months working on this and fully plan to release it open source. That is the spirit of the whole crypto community and we intend to continue that line of thought.
If somebody can improve the code great!. But I doubt you will see lots of clones out there fast, it will take more than copy/paste and a few parameters changes to get this going. Never mind improving it and fixing potential issues.
8 months
but they all blur together. And yes this will be open source and no doubt people will try to clone it just to rip people off but they will have no idea how to maintain or build on it (unless they spend months getting intimate with the code, at which point we'll be releasing new features). I would beware of the clones; my guess is first thing they do is try to release a Syscoin clone using a diff PoW/rewards but good luck with figuring out x11 (x13, SH3, etc.) merged mining.
We will release all this info shortly. As danosphere mentioned we are still looking at the reward schedule and the max coins. More to follow very soon.
Yep, was up way too late yesterday working on these numbers. Still not satisfied with them but we're getting close. We're still pursuing Moolah as an escrow provider in parallel with that work of course.
I see a lot of talk and interest here but very little in the way of an actual product. How far along is development and when can we see something tangible.
Also, did I miss the whitepaper?
We've gotten a lot of that and I can understand- especially given whats been going on in altcoin land what with NJA's wearing VEILs cutting everybody's confidence in real developers.
We have the product fully functioning right now with all 4 core features described in this preann are working and being tested heavily (been testing for months but it continues, 32+ new client commands). So development is about 98%.
You did not miss the whitepaper. I'm working on that with a teammate to get out as soon as possible. We have a lot of irons in the fire right now because we're planning the presale such that the launch follows quickly thereafter and it is a
lot to coordinate. Also these features are not trivial. Testing them is very involved.
The whitepaper and the infographic are interrelated and we want to make sure everything is technically correct before we release them. We (the team) discussed the risk of copycats based on releasing the [information contained in] whitepaper and/or infographic but it would take
many months for anyone to copy this based purely off that information.
Sorry I know this is just more text on an already long text post but people have questions and I want to make sure they get answers. Working hard to try to get the graphic verified, dressed and published later tonight (I'm GMT-5).
