As for the PoD, I don't think 4/5 is 'failed'. The only thing I could have done to get the extra star was meet him in person (not going to USA) or have a Skype call with him, I offered to do the latter but CryptoAsian gave us a 4/5 and then didn't get back to me. The whole point of PoD is to prove that there are real people behind the coin and there's someone accountable if shit hits the fan. I sent him scan of my passport, all contact details and more.. I think what I gave him was sufficient to prove Brit is a legit project.
The reason for the missing September whitepaper was the fact I was travelling/ill with flu for a large portion of last month, but we were planning on creating a blog to replace the monthly whitepaper as this would give us more flexibility. It's harder than you think to remember every change/update for the past month and plan out changes and developments for the month ahead.
If you have any ideas to make BritCoin better, gimmi a PM and I'll be happy to discuss.
We're in the process of doing a 're-launch' of BritCoin which we're hoping will be completed by the end of this week. The network will be given Tor (+mixer) support and a few wallet changes, we'll be creating a new/better BCT thread as we've gone over 100 pages of replies and I think it's time for a fresh look/direction, all of which will be outlined in the next few days.
We are also looking for new people to join the BritCoin team, right now we need all the help we can get in developing and promoting BritCoin. If you're interested, don't hesitate to PM or email me.
Why re-launch?
A failed POD is way worrysome -and probably the cause of the sell offs- and, more recently, failing to deliver on the self imposed obligation (white paper for September).
I dont think BRIT needs a re-launch. I believe it needs clear proof of developers and delivery on promises. A re-launch simply look gimmicky and should have no positive effect whatsoever.
