Maybe he doesn't have the knowledge? Even if he isn't the dev and he support this coin and hosts a website but he has the knowledge, then he would fix the wallet
I'm not going to just go ahead and start changing wallet code and fork the Github from a Developer who has not posted for 4 to 5 days but did make a github change 4 days ago?
I am not here to step on any Developers toes, whatever plans they have, I am here to support the coin, not suddenly take control of it.
I registered Zirkcoin.org, as zirkcoin.com was one second up and running then down, then back up, so I felt having a website that was up all the time would help, as I had 8000 ZIRK at the time so it was in my best interest and it was not fair on the community who had investing mining time and their Bitcoins, to end up with a zirkcoin.com domain that was hardly ever online.
Now the explorer.zirkcoin.com has gone down??
It makes no sense for the developer to have gone already even if his plan was a pump and dump. This coin has just got itself onto three exchanges, has a lot of support and I have seen no real pump at all.
The Dev will make more of a loss with the domain cost of zirkcoin.com.
The coin I released and have continued to support since day one is Extremecoin, there is no way I could take this coin on "full time" aswell but I can add / change links on the zirkcon.org domain and fork the Github IF and when that time comes and the Dev or Dev's are not back say in a weeks time.
And as for fixing this wallet?
I probably could but I did not Develop or even clone it so I would have to go through the source code and start from stratch.
As with the Extremecoin client, from a development end, I believe in a simple wallet payment client, as less can go wrong but this one has all kinds of functions coded into it, some of which IMHO is not really needed like chat function. It didn't work for Rucoin and it probably will not help this client either in the long term.
This is probably a case of a badly forked clone from Shadowcoin but using dependencies that don't work properly with it or something along those lines?
Why can't some Developers just stick around anymore?
They will make more profit (if that's all they want) by releasing a supporting a long term Crypto-Currency and not release and then vanish in a matter of weeks.
The edit was 8 days ago @ github. The only thing that was edited was the version number. (No other coding)
I think the dev doesn't have the knowledge to fix the wallet problem and that's the reason he left. Why else would you spend money on domains etc. and leave? last time he was online is a week ago
