I'm glad RonPaulCoin is doing better finally, at least price-wise and volume-wise it appears to be. I hope it stays that way and isn't overly molested by "whale mining multipools".
RonPaulCoin may not be perfect, but I think the latest fork was at least an
improvement from what we had previously (as others have also mentioned). I guess no coin is totally perfect but our goal is to do our best to make them so.
I unfortunately must withdraw my role as the lead "developer" of the coin (I simply modified some source code to begin with so I don't know if that classifies me as a full-on developer. Tranz is far more deserving of that title than I am). I wanted to be upfront and let everyone know this.
Thank you for your support this entire time. I really appreciate it and it's been a lot of fun.
Because a reason will probably help explain the reason for this: Basically my overly extensive time on the computer has caused me some marital issues and I have to make some changes in my life or I am going to lose my marriage. I hope you can understand.
Fortunately, I feel this is a stable point to leave off from and I'm glad I didn't leave when RPC was in a ditch (like after the previous fork's attempted but failed fix).
The RonPaulCoin source code is up at
www.github.com/ronpaulcoin/ronpaulcoin and can be forked if future circumstances require a modification and the group agrees it is best. I'm sure majority can agree upon the changes for a new version if one is needed, and adopt a new leader as well.
My personal pick for successor and recommendation would be Tranz for several reasons. Also I might note that he may very well not want this appointment and that is his choice completely, and must be respected. But Tranz has been with RPC from the beginning, has helped code the last 2 forks, and knows the intimate workings of the RPC code better than anyone I know, including myself. He is also a good-natured guy and has the best intentions on his mind from what I have seen. He takes a high level of care to fully test things and doesn't do anything sloppy. Anyway, that is why he is my recommendation. Over to you guys.
However, I would personally suggest leaving RonPaulCoin as it is for a minimum of 3-6 months and just let it settle out and see how it does. RPC has already undergone too many changes in the 5 months that it has been in existence in my opinion. Minimal change is an important quality too and one that I have always tried to maintain.
