Okay since its almost PoS, Dev, why don't we get a whitepaper or a roadmap of wht you guys are intending to do cuz we are kind of in the dark about this.
Could you explain wht things are we expecting to see and wht we can hope from this coin?
Again, price is reflected by the coin's fundamentals as well, thus, we do hope you have a plan for development, communication is much appreciated
about the things you would do
Well, we have been delaying the release of this information for several reasons until a more official documentation could be released, but seeing as PoW has been cut by 2/3, this will be rushed a little. Please keep in mind that we had originally planned 15 days to get to this point, and 10 days have been cut out. Our roadmap is 2-tiered, long termed goals and how to get there. You can see the beginning of our long term goals in what is labeled the "Phases" in the OP of this ANN thread.
The first of these was Volume. I think we can all agree that goal was met on launch day.
From there, the next phase is/was Mass Adoption. This is aimed towards merchants, exchanges, businesses, and entities. This phase is a little more complicated and takes time to work through and take effect. Mr. Satoshi had designed BTC to take decades to achieve this goal, and BTC has several years head start. We are in a game of catch-up here, but we believe that by hand-picking all the right features to implement, APEX's usefulness and popularity will soar, expediting the progress of this phase. This is where APEX gets the Adaptive Protocol Environment part of its name from. The current short-term goals to implement in order to achieve the long-term goal of mass adoption are multipool and Tor implementation, both because we believe these 2 features will have the most bang-for-our-buck, so to speak, as resources are limited. A multipool because we believe it is essential for the future of any PoS coin, and Tor because well, look at TOR coin, which doesn't even have Tor implemented yet and look at how their pricing went. We actually believe we can beat them to it. Outside those 2 features we are currently pursuing, anything is up for grabs. We will be constantly monitoring other coins to see which features are hot and which are not. We will also be taking feedback from the community, and discuss amongst ourselves the risks versus rewards of all these ideas before either moving on a decision, or calling upon the community to help us decide if we are torn between choices.
Sometime during the adoption phase, once we become more publicly known and accepted, our plan is to start looking to the next phase, which is Integration, which will primarily be focusing on features that will allow APEX to thrive outside of the cryptocurrency world. We believe this step is necessary for any coin to have a serious shot at long-termed success, and are excited as we have several ideas on how to achieve this already. However, we are currently hesitant to release more detailed information about the subject as not only will we only be giving our competitors ideas before we are actually ready to implement them ourselves, but we are still some time away from this bridge and a good idea today may not be so great once we get there.
That is a simplified draft of the roadmap that we are currently working with. Apologies if it is a bit rough, but we hope that this was sufficient in giving you a picture of where we want to go and how we want to get there.
Edit: An official whitepaper will be released in a few days time. Thank you for your patience.
