Update on the masternode sale: 20 Masternodes remain at 0.1 BTC!
I have been mining this coin from day one, so it's in my best interest to see it succeed. But lately there has been an influx of coins from newbie/jr member anon devs creating coins with similar feature ( i.e a copy and paste fork) and they all selling masternodes to get listed on an exchange. i can think of 12-15 off the top and none have made into an exchange yet ( or made it into small exchanges that cost 1/16th the amount generated from the masternode sale) This has become the norm and frankly am sure the community is getting tired of it
If you for real about your intention, you should be focused on the code and stop worrying about an exchanges. Focus on craving out a unique space for your platform in this overpopulated scene.
The idea of having a masternode sale when the swap hasn't even occurred/ no tangible code manipulation to make the platform stand out, does little to differentiate your platform from countless of accts selling masternode for coins with damn near similar attributes. And trust me their is bunch of them on this thread. Whats the rush to have an exchange sale, if we don't even have the right coin that will be submitted and traded on those exchange. again things like this don't inspire confidence
Like i said it's in my best interest to see this succeed, but it seem you jumping ahead and ppl might get suspicion when you start jumping ahead.
To be honest I didn't even plan on having the sale so early, I mentioned in the OP that there would be a masternode sale in the lead up to the launch to fund exchange listing (which is a necessary expense) and people wanted to buy them now so I decided to just let people buy them any time in the lead up to the launch.
And further to that I'm not exactly anonymous, and neither is my team.
To touch on the code side of things, yes the coin is forked from PIVX but PIVX is forked from Dash and Dash from Bitcoin, just like most other altcoins and new coin is actually going to be more unique and less common than the old coin (which is forked from litecoin).
