Dear all,
after having verified the feasability of your initiative, I'm now more than doubtful. In essence, without having the developer's full credentials (i.e. without a complete handover by pikimunga / menzo) you can't take over the development and support of the coin, so you cannot update the wallet as you want and assume that your 66 coins are recognised by the network. On the contrary, you'll create a new coin, or an unrecognised clone of it, and of course the distribution of those coins will start from scratch. As already shared with all of you, a fork of 66 coin - a project dying because of the disappearance of the developer - is not a good idea, first of all for marketing reasons.
Consequently, I won't join in, but of course I respect your legitimate point of view. In parallel, I and my team will go on with the development of the new coin, providing you with all info and news and asking for your opinion as so far happened. And once more I can confirm that the possibility to exchange 66 coins with the new coin will be offered to the whole 66 coin community.
You're wrong. Coins are just like open source where you can take the code and make changes. If everybody accepts this new version, it's not a copy, but simply the new direction of the existing coin (old blockchain in there). We did this with quarkbar and it worked out great!:-)
Yes, I think this is the best thing to do for 66coin, reviving the coin with a new popular algo like energysaving X11 and help to set up a pool to the community. If dev(s) can be found for this they can be paid with funds from donations and fees from pool maybe?
66coin have potential to be listed at mintpal and we had some action already at cryptorush before it went down.
