The problem is that we have seen too many coins that were quick copies where the devs simply dumped their coins the second it hit an exchange and then disappear so people are right to be wary. Before the coin was launched I had put in around 160 hours building not just the coin, but supporting infrastructure like DNS seed nodes, website, forum, social media and so on. I was the first to mine and so far I have put these coins towards bounties and will continue to do so. I bought twice as many as I managed to mine and I have no intention of selling these coins. Hopefully we will see good results in the market and I can make my coins last a long time. I think it fair that the coins I mined are used to develop the coin further.
The only way I can prove my intentions is to keep developing and funding development. I have to prove my intentions over the long term and I will do that. My development plan this week is to migrate us to the Bitcoin 0.9 codebase so we can incorporate the new features and the fix for transaction malleability. Then we will no longer be a Litecoin fork but a Bitcoin fork
What we need is an Android wallet, I will make 2 Bitcoins available for this without selling any Hirocoin and will hopefully find someone who is an enthusiast and enjoys the challenge and work involved. I am an enthusiast myself and enjoy working with like minded people.
the problem was the launch date(7am or early for euro) without even an ann, not the instamine itself
I think it was around 7am in the UK at that time and later in the day going east across Europe. It was daytime to evening for Asia. I do not think that making sure the US is awake when a coin is launched necessarily makes it any fairer. It was 10:30 in Moscow and 15:30 in Tokyo.
I made an announcement which people pretty much ignored but did not give out a specific time for reasons given in the announcement. Large miners waiting for a launch generally do dump which destroys early confidence in a coin.
New coin tomorrow - March 14th
