Any update on the code rebase?
Which features are likely to be included?
Sterling Sentinel
I have been devoting a portion of my days to the Sterlingcoin rebase. Specifically and currently, sifting through Bitcoin's .9 branch to find missing code enhancements. I have been delegating and outsourcing tasks, whenever financially feasible, on my other obligations within crypto because a portion of my day will not get the rebase done in a timely fashion. That delegation process is more time-consuming, especially when tasks need to be delegated repeatedly, than hoped but, is the only feasible path and will be continued.
As far as features, and updated code base is the only one decided. Features like masternodes have not been decided. As stated previously, none of those features would be added without the consent of the community. The rebase is not depended on those decisions. I honestly have been treating them separately from a project management perspective at this point.
As some of you may already be aware, there have been unforeseen hurdles and delays in my colleagues Matthew and Spencer's Silk Network (now rebranding as Duality) project that has prevented their return of focus to Sterlingcoin. To the details of those delays, I am unaware as I myself do not closely monitor those projects but, only hear fragments in crosstalk in other conversations and in passing. Of course, my personal objective is to gain assistance with the goals of Sterlingcoin, first and foremost being the rebase.
As previously mentioned, I also intend to bring Sterlingcoin seednodes and a block explorer back online. Those fundamental foundational pieces can be achieved relatively easily, even in the absence of the full team. Expect relevant announcements of those services being restored before the month's end. I also have not forgotten the expectation of an updated roadmap and have secured a graphics artist to assist with that. The unknown variable of my colleagues' return does make projections therein, that would
greatly be influenced by their return, uncertain.
I know that may be little good news in light of the prolonged delays of meeting expectations for the entire Sterlingcoin developer team, but I hope is found as reassurance to the refusal to let the project "die" as previously mentioned. I would like to personally thank the community for all the recent activity. I do hope to leverage the community involvement and recent market activity to motivate my colleagues' return of focus to Sterlingcoin.
Cheers!
