It seems like the best choice, really.

Unless you take into account the lurkers that haven't spoken up yet - if they crawled out of the woodwork and voted in a way that the vocal community doesn't predict.



Continuing input will be a helpful guide for us all. It will assist in choosing future advancement and the direction to take.



You sure got that right, brother!



Your questions have been relevant, direct, clear, and blunt. I don't detect any element of harshness at all.

Nice hear about add PoS to coin.
All people who dont want sell coins for actually price will be have some profit from PoS even when price will be better.
I keep my small pack 125k coins and waiting for wallet with PoS and price rising too ofc

Ok thanks for all the explanations. The coin is in good hands considering who lurks beyond in the shady world of crypto.

There's always arguing points to be made, and I don't think mob-rule really fits the bill when voting for who wants what.

But if Robbert has passed his creation onto you then I suppose casting votes will go to those who are putting in the man hours to keep us all from drowning in a 1 Satoshi pool of despair.

Everyone wants something different and you can never please everyone all of the time, so please continue with the efforts made so far.

I hope my questioning way doesn't come off too harshly for people who are making such sacrifices of their own time.

You're welcome.



Not trying to break from the past, simply move forward from where we were. You may bring up the issue of coin name in a separate post. It will be easier for others to follow and reply to it.



There is nothing that needed to be voted on. The reason for the previous topic being locked and the new one being started was due to an ongoing 18 hour assault of SPAM (excessive floods of emoticons and gifs), pure and hateful FUD as well as the normal kind, and a co-ordinated attempt to manipulate using the topic to promote a Pump and Dump attempt. There was no time to gather everyone in the community to call a vote. It took hours to get most of the crap cleaned up while preparing the new topic.



Yes.



Despotic Dictators without any clue whatsoever, most of the time. We take community advice when we are completely helpless.



No, not at all. The old topic was not self-moderated and required the direct interaction of a severely overworked site moderator. We couldn't delete posts.



We intend to keep it this way.



The community lacks a sufficient insight and inside knowledge of how it all works or will work, and therefore not in a position to make cogent technically oriented informed DECISIONS. How would disagreements within the community be resolved if it were mob-rule? What if some of the community weren't who we thought they were, and turn out to be sabateurs? Not everyone who lurks here is on the up-and-up.

We intend to take the general community concensus and put it into effect. Somebody has to keep it orderly and sorted out. Top responsibility goes to me because I was chosen as best candidate. There were no objections. Robbert had the ultimate choice, anyhow. He took the community opinion into account when making his choice. LTCD was not created by the community. It was created by an individual. The final and ultimate choice was his to make.

His choice was me. I'm interested in the community input and opinion. Not bound by it. Just a point of fact. I'm not 'putting my foot down' on the subject of community, so don't go off the wrong way about this. I'm a nice guy, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

One more , much support!!

Since the thread changed I have to post to keep updated on LCTD news again.

Hello,

Thanks for the new updates and the new page here.

I always thought it better that if we were going to start a new page then we should have a new coin name to go with it, if a break from the past was really intended.

All of that should have gone to vote as well. I remember most people in the community wanted to keep the old page/name going for a while yet.

Have the newly elected devs acted on their own accordance with this decision? I was rather hoping they were community representatives and not new Presidents. Bear in mind also the FUD posts could have quite as easily been deleted on the old page as they will be on this one.

That said, I welcome Aleckloss, and all the other devs for their input and time with the coin. I see more good than bad going on.

I would just prefer the community to be making decisions and not just have new people "in charge".

Thanks Vic. I appreciate the effort you and the other team members have put into keeping this alive. Let's get this train rolling again. 

@Crestington,

Too much unsubtantiated FUD was getting in the way of progress for the new team in regard to getting up to speed and well organized. Pump and Dump propaganda that only serves the motives of the greedy have no relevance. There was a significant increase of both types which was purely opportunistic squatting while they thought we were too busy to nuke that shit.

They were wrong.

This is our topic. We will use it as a communication tool to facilitate forward progress of the project. Not going to allow it to be perverted by others to use as their soapbox to spew false information and/or manipulative propaganda.

I will delete any post that deviates from the goal of moving forward. I will not delete posts that express an opposing opinion regarding how to reach our goals, as long as any such posts are rationally composed and civilized in tone. Any mention of anything FUD or P&D will lead to the deletion of the entire contents of such post.

This starts now.

I don't own any Coins myself, I was just making a suggestion. Came across the coin when my friend made some videos, seems like you need to get rid of the POW and go for POS (which is why I never invested). POS has it's drawbacks but atleast you aren't getting eaten alive by sell pressure. With POW only, you always need to be buying the coins that are being mined, otherwise the price with gravitate lower. It's not like it's not worth that much, if you took the average buy in price, the coin would be worth a lot more.

It's not about being frustrated... And no amount of negativity will have a positive effect for this coin or the community... We are and have always been strong fighters against any and all FUD... We are doing the best we can to pick up the pieces and run with them... The alternative is we let this coin die which non of us really want... How about instead of complaining you ask how can you help? And if you have nothing to add then help by staying positive and giving encouragement to the new Dev team!! We have a good solid base from which to build upon and at this point we all have very little to loose so why not let the team do what they need to do to move this community forward....

If any of you want out you know where the door is... But for those of you willing to take a chance that something good can be recovered then please bare with us as this is a monumental task to straighten out and will take time so please we ask for your patience...

Thanks,

Ghosty

That explains it! 

Thanks!

At this moment the new wallet links are offline while we inspect the code and make sure they are appropriate for release. If/when the new team endorses them we will bring them online. In the meantime i'll find you a link to our old wallets. Those are still functional and working very well.

I'm getting a 404 error for the windows wallet link?

Hello Community,

The New Development team wanted to step in here and make an official announcement regarding the state of LTCD in the current market.

We have now almost finalized the takeover of the currency and we are working hard to layout a roadmap and get genuinely obtainable goals set so that the community can come together and vote on which we should fund second after Proof of Stake.


We understand what has all went on. You were promised innovation, you were teased with 2.0 Technology and because of the lack of releases you are hurt. We are hurt. The new development team invested heavily in this currency just as you had and we all shared the vision of changing cryptocurrency for the better.

This has failed. There was no innovation, there was no 2.0... YET. Yet is the keyword here. The existing developers didn't simply have enough time to get these features set and in place.

Instead of focusing on what they didn't accomplish, we the new development team are choosing to look at what they did create. Let me remind you. We have a large and active community, we have a stable blockchain with good mining support for now, we have decent volume, we have a great difficulty shield that can help with future forks.

I ask you to hold your tongue. We get that this has become a sad excuse and we are working to revamp and re-establish this currency. Posting facts about the past team no longer has validity on this new page. If we as the new development team mess up, lie to you, or other instances, please let us know.

With this weekend and into next week (I have next week off of work) we will be GRINDING out so much work to get a foothold so that we can move FORWARD. We have taken so many steps backward lately that we need to leap forward to stay in the game, or it's over. I get that, we get that, you get that.

POS will be out number one target short term. Following that we want untraceable transactions, and many other suggested features. But for the time being we will be focusing on POS. I have developed a Proof of Stake Decay whitepaper that will be used for the new feature. This POSD will extend the life of the currency with a POS system and give us the needed short term boost to get to where we should be.

Again, we are working hard. I will admit, it's incredibly crappy for me to come here and read all of the people that have lost hope. Hope is all we have left and with our incoming improvements we hope to re-establish the belief that there is a capable development team behind this currency.

Thanks,

-Alec

well done, now we can remain on topic

yep first

-reposted from previous topic-

I know that you are posting your concerns in a positive and constructive manner. You won't get any grief from me.

First things first, I want to get back on track if at all possible - before proceeding on to anything else. It seems to me from the past week of posts that this is what most people agree with.
