Do you know tenebrix, fairbrix? Tonal bitcoin? those were the starter alts..lack of everything left them dead and buried.
Not too up to date on the alt history are you?
Tenebrix and Fairbrix died because I personally exterminated them along with a few of the other early alts that were pieces of shit. In all fairness TBX and FBX were prototype coins and I was asked by the devs to stress them. They were the forerunners of Litecoin.
Back on topic.The title of the thread is
"If you were the President of the DGC Foundation, what would be your next step"There seems to be a real concern by people about Baritus still being involved. Count me in as one of those people and as I am sure Ahmed can tell you, having experienced first hand that I can be a significant barrier to any coin I desire to be.
What would convince me is that if kenel or the DGC Foundation publicly and clearly stated that Baritus is not involved in any manner, never will be and more than likely stole the $30K of DGC, I would consider the matter closed. The last I heard from the DGC Foundation was that Baritus was not involved but was considered a valuable friend and would remain behind the scenes while building his exchange.
So kenel, how about that clarification on Baritus and his involvement in the BS story?
~BCX~
You're absolutely right that when The Foundation first took over the development of the coin, we had every intention on playing nice. I'm not one to burn bridges.
As time went on, and the code that made up Digitalcoin V2 was dissected, and baritus became ever more distant, I believe the mentality changed a bit.
We're now on V3 with multi-algo and a lot of fun extras (inlcuding a large op_return data in our blockchain which once realized by the public is going to be a major positive for DGC), have been stress tested, and completely rewritten by xawksow and ahmed.
I'll thank him for two things -- 1) Digitalcoin is a great and marketable name. Kudos. 2) Handing over control of the coin to the foundation. Best thing he's done.
As for the DGC being stolen, I don't know. They were donations and his "personal fund". I'm not sure that even if he did dump them that would be considered stealing. I think it's complete bullshit and immoral if he did dump them, and something I would never do myself, but to each his own. It is what it is.
What I think most people are concerned about are the shares of the failed CryptoAve project. If those shares / DGC value were dumped instead of being returned to investors, yes, I believe that would be considered stealing.
Baritus hasn't contributed a single bit of input since we took over development. I haven't seen him around in months aside from the one or two posts on our Digitalcoin forum (which is now privatized for DGC holders only) at the beginning of the month.
So, TLDR:
Baritus is no longer involved in the development of DGC. We initially fully intended to keep him as a 'consultant' for the foundation. The entire situation has changed. We are developed now by xawksow, ahmed, and the rest of our foundation guys. There's a possibility that he dumped his personal fund/donations of DGC....if he did, shame on him, but I'm not his mother nor do I really even care if he did or not.
