Agree with a lot of the posts. At the very least change thread title to *Looking for developer*. Something to help the cause.
As with what BrookeFinancial said, my worth in Supercoin is very little now compared to my other holdings, I've learned a lot about the crypto scene, and how to 'play the game'. I still think there is great potential behind Supercoin, and I will check back often to see if new development has taken place. It's a shame, as a community there was great excitement before the release of Phase 2. I was hoping we'd all hit the crypto jackpot, and could celebrate our earnings.
I wonder though, should we create a thread in the main Alt-coin forum at least? I mean, there are plenty of new coins created, maybe a potential Dev would see this as opposed to creating a new coin. At this point is there anything to lose? I don't care about FUD, it's basically kicking a man while he's down at this point. I guess the main problem is having the Dev hand over code. But would we all be willing to trust a new Dev on the scene? Most already qualified devs have their own projects, so it may be a long waiting game..
Cheers all
I support this.
I'd be willing to trust a dev with a previously proven track record. Not just any ol' shmoe. Though, when this eventually goes open source, trust will be less of an issue...
... so how are you planning to pay a dev with proven record? or you think they will come running to work for free? I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic. good luck!!
Superdev said he would release the code quietly to the new dev, who would then have 1 week before the transfer is announced. During that week he could A)check make sure the code is legit B)once verified buy a ton of SUPER before anyone else knows whats happening. Makes it easily profitable and since the coin is already working properly, there isn't even any pressing work to be done. Review, buy, show your face, profit.
Conversely, a renowned dev wants to release a new coin and own a lot of the total supply, they can't. If they do an unfair launch, no one trusts the coin and it tanks. If they try to buy during the initial selling phase, they'll blow their money on the inflated prices that come with a new coin. If they try to "go quiet" to lower the price for buying, it hurts their reputation, which hurts the coin.
This is a unique opportunity actually. A known dev who wants to make some quick money, this is the place.
There is also no risk. If they get the code and find out its a fake, they just walk away.
+1000 Remi.
On top of that, perhaps the community could make a fund for payment to the new Dev. Please weigh in if you are behind this idea...
If the fund builds well, which shouldn't be too hard, it could make the job role more alluring. Right now, if the top 100 addresses donated 1% of their holdings, that'd net a little over 150k Super, placing the address in the top 30 on the Rich list. That's not an insignificant amount of super. The price of the coin is super cheap right now, new dev could easily stock up as well. At our previous high of 15880 sat, that bag is about 24btc. Pretty safe pay off for a competent dev as a more focused team would clearly take this coin to a new ATH. This market is primed for blast off, it just needs a little ignition. Though the coin is low, the dumps haven't been unreasonable. They've slowed now. Addresses holding a lot of coins do not appear to be liquidating, a good team could take this coin very far, I wish I had the expertise to do so frankly.
That will not be enough for Supercoindev.
I have already offered him a full team of experienced Programmers, Designers and PR members with many years of Crypto experience. But he only accepts people who already have Coins released.
That is upsetting to hear. I've sent messages to both dev & team with no response as well. It's frustrating for sure. A thought; perhaps could be to name these members and see if the community will get behind the prospective crew or not. That may make a difference. May not. But if they are what you say they are, they're worthwhile to look at.
At the current situation what is the point to release the code? Release the code to other coins? release the code to imitators to create new coins with same exact features as supercoin? No thanks. I'd prefer supercoin be the only coin that does p2p anonymous transfers with multisig tech. The release of code makes only sense if there is a qualified dev willing to take over as the supercoin dev, as the original supercoin dev requested.
I agree with you. This is why I believe dev should send a tweet from the official handle as it has greatest impact & visibility as the community is having a hard time gaining traction in search.
