PROJECT JUGGERNAUT
-But who is this Dev and how can we be assured that the Vericoin price will respond and lift all boats higher.
In short, noone can guarantee prices but both I and the Devs have reviewed the 4th Dev's work and I feel confident he would be a tremendous, game changing type addition to the team. Vericoin would immediately get very valuable technology that no other crypto coin has. He is also very well known with an impeccable reputation and proven execution at delivering code that results in strong coin price appreciation. This is why Pat has said that "this is a good idea" if the community can get behind it and I believe Doug also knows bringing this guy on could make Vericoin a potential top altcoin.

I like the premise but to be honest, I haven't reviewed his work besides the websites related to them... so we aren't quite ready to sign off yet on this project. But if someone wants to help VeriCoin in ways we haven't considered as this developer appears to have suggested, there's no reason why we wouldn't be accepting of them. I am very concerned about the raising of almost 4% of the total coinage for a single person, however. I'm not sure it can be done. Yes, I will donate 50,000 coins myself if I believe it will benefit VeriCoin sufficiently.
The other devs and I haven't had much time to focus on this yet as we're working on what we were planning on announcing this past weekend. We will discuss this thoroughly after the announcement and will give it our due diligence. Of course, we'll have to talk to this potential developer, too.
It's also important to note that VeriCoin is not the project of the developers but the owners. Anyone can build anything for it. That's the beauty of open source. So if the community is on board, we will support the plans of the community. Keep the good ideas rolling in and if 1M VRC can be raised for a 4th developer, who's to say they don't belong?
PROJECT FOUR STOOGESIf you still had any doubts, stooge number one just cleared it out: VeriCoin is, as long stated before, a ship without a helm, a hen without a head destined to doomdom if not saved by the community. Oh, the three stooges say they are still on board -they own the coins, we know that-, but for all intents and purposes, Elvis has left the building, I know you all know what I mean.
THAT said, I will propose
PROJECT FOUR STOOGES. No the community is in no disposition to help (much) at present, but you guys
do not need the help. Oh, morally we all be rooting for this project like we have not rooted for anything before and, who knows, when the coin reached 30k, the disposition will indeed have changed. Quite a bit.
So, once again, put your money where your mouth is. Why only 50k VRC each? Make it a round 100k each and get Juggernaut, aka the 4th stooge. That would be 400k right there. I'm sure he will be in in a flash is you tell them this is ready to go from start, right now. You want me to handle the negotiations? I guarantee he will agree...
So lets stop the bull and get the ball rolling. You will benefit and so will the entire community. And then, it will be the time, with factual results (we are talking here a couple of days, this is crypto!-, there will be the time to ask the community to pony up for the rest of the deal.
So what say you? If you are willing to pony up 50k, you should be equally willing to double that to make it happen.
Otherwise it simply won't.
