As much as I like the commitment of the main dev and whoever is helping him, but isn't 4 different coins not a bit too much to develop and maintain for one man alone?
I have my concerns about it, but maybe I'm wrong.
I think the same. If your goal that you want to reach is high enought for EGC you don't need so much other Coin Projects. And you will not have the time to work for all Projects if you really want to start and sucess with a big Project like EGC.
You are right, my days do entail a great deal of juggling and beyond the 4 mentioned projects. I do have teams and other contributors to help and new teams will be and are forming. I am often times, perhaps all times, the one left willing to face a community when things get tough. Not a position I like to be in or be put in but, abandoning is not in my nature.
The good thing to be gained through tough times is you find out who is reliable to form a true team and not just opportunists seeking personal gains. I am actively delegating out more and more tasks to people that have proven they can be trusted to carry them out. Case in point and relevant to the EGC community, I have, as of this morning, contracted with SciFiDomains to develop the new EGC website. A task that has fallen off my plate for far too long. Similar delegating of tasks are taking place on other projects as well.
No, I can not do it all. What I can do is form working relationships with the trustworthy and reliable people that can help get it all done and be willing to continue even during less fortunate times. This is what I am doing. This is how it will all get done. This is how our goals will be achieved.
EDIT: SciFiDomains is the company that the BCT user portdavenport is associate with. As of now, I can tell you the cost for this was extremely small for all that will be gained. Port negotiated EGC a great discount for this service. Half was paid for by the EGC Foundation and half by me personally. More details will be released soon. I only mentioned it at this time because the mentioned concern is valid and I want you all to know it is being addressed.
