I'm not personally involved in this coin, but I see the same bullshit on MOST coins these days.
Wise up, people. It's not going to get you rich overnight, if ever. The dev likely has a life, and that life likely takes precedence over his coin.
And as he said, and I have said a million times, these are OPEN FUCKING SOURCE projects. That means anyone can do development work. Even you. If you develop an app for this coin, and the dev don't like it? who cares? If it's adopted, and it works, and it drives the market, what's he gonna say to you? I know if it was me, even if I personally hated it, I'd say "good job and here's your bounty".
Just DO it.
The other day, on a coin I won't mention, I couldn't get the wallet to compile because it had a bunch of Windows specific commands in the makefile. You know what I did? I tracked down the problem, altered the code, and put up a pull request for a linux only project file. I'm not a programmer. A real programmer could have done what I did in five minutes. It took me the better part of a day. But so what? I helped. You know what I got for it? A thank you from the dev team, which is nice, and more importantly, a working wallet. I didn't whine to the devs that I couldn't get it to work and bitch that they didn't fix it for me. I just FUCKING DID IT.
Every day I see talk here about decentralized currencies, followed by blind followers waiting with open mouths like little baby birds for a central developer to "do something". Well, guess what? If you didn't pay them for it, they owe you shit. You want something to happen? MAKE it happen. You got a kick ass idea for your favorite coin? Implement it. Don't know how? Flex that google muscle and LEARN. Even if you fail, you learnt something.
Be men, not sheep.
It's good to see experienced members of bitcointalk post on KTK thread.
Biomech is right. The dev has been working alone. Almost no one helps him, except IceColdTommy when he tried to design an online wallet, then the misunderstanding happened. Unfortunately, I'm a beginner in programming, but I know some Mathematics, I'm not sure if it can be helpful, but if I can help just tell me. (I have M.Sc degree in Mathematics). At least, I can find some ideas from here and there, and discuss it here. So here we go:
First, what do you think guys about KTK being an asset-backed, just like SYNC. you can study about it here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann1000-sync-proof-of-stake-now-run-by-blockchain-development-company-607919(I'm not spamming about SYNC, I sold all of my SYNC a few days ago, and I'm not happey about it.) Maybe we can have a long-term plan SIMILAR to this idea, not exactly like it. After this news published on SYNC thread, the price jumped 5x or 6x. (If I'm wrong please correct me.)
Second, before releasing marketplace and online wallet NEWS, I suggest to have an article contest about KTK. Set a bounty for it, select one of them as winner and publish it on tweeter, facebook, and altcoin news websites. By this, we'll see a bigger interest to buy KTK when the good news come out.
