I should have asked for this sooner, but I need the help of the CasinoCoin community to help push CasinoCoin forward. In the last few months, I suffered through some personal health setbacks that have put my priorities into place, and as a result, I neglected CasinoCoin. In this business, confidence is critical, and my hiatus has eroded the confidence of something that I've built and believe in.
Since the beginning of CasinoCoin, it always has been a one-man show behind the operations, from development to marketing (and even graphics design!), I was the one responsible for all aspects. While that may have been a bit of an ego boost, there's a downside to it of which we have experienced during my hiatus from CasinoCoin. Even though we are dealing with a decentralized currency, it's critical to have the full support of an active developer, and CasinoCoin has suffered in the last few months because of my neglect.
I can't excuse the lack of communication during my hiatus, and I understand why some of you have lost trust in CasinoCoin, and especially trust in myself. One thing that has become fairly clear through this ordeal is that CasinoCoin can no longer be run as a one-man operation. Even though a one-man operation is efficient, it also means there is a single point of failure. For the long term benefit of the currency, we need a team to drive CasinoCoin. I hereby am asking for the help of the CasinoCoin community to take on roles such as developer, marketing, community liason, etc. One of the critical pieces is the GitHub repository containing the CasinoCoin source code. I will be opening this up to contributors so that developers can contribute to the CasinoCoin project without me being the single point of failure.
For those of you that are curious, I still have the same amount of CSC as I did prior to the hiatus (or even a little bit more since my mining rigs had continue to run for awhile). CasinoCoin was never meant to be a pump and dump scheme. In fact, with this new mindset of opening up CasinoCoin in order to spread out responsibility and lower risk due to a single point of failure, I'm willing to give up a stake in the amount of CasinoCoins that I mined fairly during the launch of CasinoCoin to those who would like to join and contribute.
For those of you that are considering the idea of poaching the CasinoCoin name, I'd suggest that you not do so. It will only cause confusion in the marketplace that does not benefit anyone but you. If you are going to go down this route, then consider an entirely new name instead. Else, I hope that you strongly consider joining the CasinoCoin team and help contribute to the longevity of this coin from the ground floor -- you haven't missed the boat yet. Your addition to the team will only help strengthen CasinoCoin and confidence in it.
I'd like to hear your thoughts, both positive and negative. It's time for me to get back to work.
I'm available to assist.
If you need anything infrastructure wise....
I don't think there's any regular casinocoin pools out there, that might be a start.
