why not to create a 100% pure POS coin?, we always can exclude miners
Hehe, that would make them even more furious.
But again, mining is needed and if the coin grew as planned with the GPU friendly algorithm, then it would be impossible to make anything unless you have 30 cards sitting around to make a little.
I understand how they feel, but I won't limit this project to their liking, just so they can make some pocket change.
I want to build this, from the ground and up.
We won't be the next Bitcoin, but I want to create something unique and prove a point.
..."Hehe, that would make them even more furious"... professionalism at its best, this ladies and gentleman is the true face of the Dev you all backed, pointed your hash power towards, wasted your electricity on, and gave faith in to help launch his project, that he promoted you would have a say in the future of.
..."I understand how they feel, but I won't limit this project to their liking, just so they can make some pocket change"... Again this is how he sees you, not as a foundational element in the key success of his project but, as some worthless change collector.
..."We won't be the next Bitcoin, but I want to create something unique and prove a point"... This we can all agree on, the minute you dumped on your "community" with a "community" driven coin, you lost the core values of what it was you originally set out to do, along with any good name you hoped to achieve in the Crypto world.
This is not about the algorithm change, Scrypt based coins are not, nor will be unique. if that is what you had to change to, then so be it. What I find shocking is your arrogant and noxious view, of those that worked together to help launch your project for the community, the disregard of their rewards, and your attitude towards those people you so wanted to be behind you in the beginning, are now somehow beneath you and irrelevant.
It is borderline disgraceful, good luck with anything you decide from here, as in a sense you have cut the nose off to spite the face, how do you expect anybody to be a part of your future community, helping to build your project, when you have a blatant disregard, for any community you pull together?
When newbies keep on screaming about not getting rewards, and every single decision is made is under scrutiny than its hard to please everyone.
Nobody will ever agree 100% with one choice.
I need to point out that a development team can't just make anything a community wants.
There are limits, and these limits are the skills of the team.
If you think it's not good enough, then do it better yourself.
As for the large backlash, we have gotten for choosing Scrypt, then I understand it.
Which is why we should know later today if we are able to use NIST5 instead of Scrypt.
This is not a guarantee, but we are trying to find something that is GPU friendly.
But we do have limits of what we are able to do.
There was no ICO here.
We spend the free time we have on this project and work 8+ hours a day on our day jobs.
Take care of our families and so on.
Ill give an update later on the algorithm and see what the results will be.
