Koin's dead after all the efforts? Or does anyone still has some life in it?

Friends and followers,
Let me explain my intentions with the project.
I have recently learned about the programming language Go. It compares to C, but it is much faster. I have also taken to scripting recently (HTML, PHP, SQL). This sparked my interest in programming.
For what I heard, a team is already developing a bitcoind and possibly a wallet for XBT using Go. I have not heard about any attempts to build one for Litecoin or other scrypt-based Bitcoin.
I have chosen KOIN as my pet project because of a number of reasons. KOIN is relatively low in volume and price on many exchanges. If I chose to do this for Litecoin there would be a ton of people jumping onto the project, and the bikeshedding would begin. Using KOIN I can do what I want to do, and work with a team that’s small enough not to discuss every bit for weeks on end.
I should also state that I am new to coding. I will mess up beautiful, easy to solve problems with a gazillion lines of horrible code patching the problems every previous line creates where I could have just called a single class that solved my problem 20 years ago. A high-value, high-volume Bitcoin would attract too many decent programmers telling me to ‘go play in the corner with my java-applet if I [you] want to learn to code’.
Timeframe:
For now I will leave my KOIN-node running (current IP: 82.157.202.78)
My initial stage of the project is figuring out what parts turn the KOIN-qt into KOIN, instead of Litecoin. Then I will look at the current Bitcoin projects built in Go.
Using that information I can then create a plan: Should I start from scratch or use one of the projects as a stepping-stone? - the answer to that should also yield a timeframe.
ETA on the first bits: 30d from now.
ETA on world domination: classified.
Yarharhar, and a bottle of rum!

i got 17mill koincoins (formerly coinye) message me with your price and if reasonable, their yours.
the way i trade is that i send 10% first you send 10% of the agreed bitcoin. and we repeat the process 10 times until full exchange is complete.
that way its fair and reduces risks for both parties

Already pm'd you, but no way I'm going first, as you have no feedback.

THE ONLY POINT OF COINYE WEST : WAS TO SHOW THE WORLD THE POWER OF CRYPTO COMMUNITY.
SCREW KANYE, SCREW YOUR REBRAND.

People are still at it man. This rebrand isn't all there is. We haven't given up.
None, lol
There will be exchanges with COYE shortcut, not KOIN.
So, you're wasting your time.
Edited the name of this thread to reflect what the intentions were..

Is this same as COYE or not? I am confused))
Only 'difference' is the name
The rebranding is due to the repeated cease and desist letters received by developers and services involved in 'coinye' due to its name. A number of people from the community (myself included) came to the conclusion that a re-branding was the best solution (when this was happening the coinye devs were abandoning coinye). This way everyone gets to keep the coins they accumulated, and services can operate with the new name, allowing them to adopt the coin without potential legal consequences or harassment from kanyes attorneys.
Those that wish to continue calling it coinye are more than welcome to do so. No ones stopping anyone from using the coinye wallet. Exchanges can start listing koi/btc (without getting cease and desists), users running the coinye wallet can still deposit coins into their exchanges koi address. Same blockchain, same addresses, everything is compatible. Koin does not intend to replace coinye, but to allow it a means to be widely adopted.
It's very unlikely you will see coye listed on any major exchanges anytime soon, if ever. Koi on the otherhand, more likely as it doesnt come with the risk of legal action.
This decision was not made by one person, but a group of active community members (this all took place on IRC).
Long story short: Open Source: 1, Bureaucratic BS: 0
Agreed, lets get this on an exchange! Please?
