....so u have a bunch of pro u need to dump? otherwise u would start new coin. Thanks but no thanks
We have no interest in making a new coin. This one is already out, distributed well, on 2 exchanges and has a good block explorer. We liked the ideas behind this coin and we feel we can achieve what was originally set out, and hopefully much more. If we were to make a new coin with the same specs / features etc you would jump on and say it was a copy of this one. So there's really not much point.
Yes, it seems originally it was a scam, or a victim of excessive FUD - but that's over now, and we can start from the bottom and work our way up to having a stable coin and market.
Plus it has a good name
I guess I was the starter of the excessive FUD? lol
I'm sure it was the same developer as OmegaCoin that launched Pro, they didn't even attempt to deny it. Atleast you guys are trying to make a go of it instead of launching a new Coin since you'd go through the same P&D that all Coins go through in the initial mining.
ProTeam should do something for transparency since it's a newbie account, you need to be able to show that there is some trust somewhere. Either you can be a member of Bitcointalk for a great deal of time with a high amount of activity, in which case actions over time is stronger than something like POD, or to just lay it out on the line at let people know where you stand with coding ability and prove the team. You don't need to be a rockstar coder, I think if you want to run a coin that you would just need to show you are working on it and where and be upfront about everything and then if you can't run it anymore than just let people know so that someone else could take it over (or dump their coins, lol)
Good post.
We agree that making a new coin is pointless. Just about every new coin goes through the same dumping period initially. PRO has already been through that and we can now start from the bottom and move upwards.
The members of this team are (mostly) longstanding bitcointalk members. For now, we would like to remain anonymous. When things get off the ground a bit and start moving in a positive direction then we may be more inclined to be more public about our identities. As it stands at the moment, PRO has been tainted with the "scam brush" so we feel slightly uncomfortable linking ourselves with it publicly right now. In fact we are still discussing exactly where we want to take the coin and what we want to do with it, which is why we haven't posted many updates as of yet.
So.. as you stated, we will initially work to gain trust by results alone, rather than going off reputation. As things progress, who we are, and why we're doing this, will probably become more clear.
One thing is certain though - there is huge potential in this coin
