Guys I try to keep the walls up, but they keep dumping, we need some support

Personally, I would like to see PoW remain an option even after said total is reached in order to help process transactions and alow miners to collect tx fees.

Is the total PoW duration roughly 2 months? So end of October, maybe into a bit of November?

Honestly?  I'm tired of knock-offs and clones flooding the scene and fragmenting the blockchain as a whole.  I'm also OCD and hate boost with a passion.  I spent 14 months building a 2nd gen that I had no desire to release only to see, for one, if I could build one, second, to see if I could improve upon the current design and architecture.

Finally, my 2nd gen was designed to eliminate the monolithic nature of the "altcoin clone wallet" and separate each of its primary functionalities into independent, modular services.

In sort, it's all about the tech.  It's a hobby, and I find it fun.

I have not problem with your post, in fact I think it was perfect.  This is the type of thing I wanted to hear, but I do need to know, what motivates you since it is not the money?

Apologies, I was still mid edit of my post when you replied, and while my post may seem a bit hotheaded, it was not intended as such.  Just a reminder to the community at large about what I am here for.

Thanks.

And if you'll note, that setting this one apart is exactly what I am trying to do.  When I got involved in this project it was as copy-paste as any other coin out there, and I was unhappy with it.  That's when I jumped onboard with my own unofficial fork of the sources and started working.

Since I've been working on the project itself, I have been meticulously ripping out and gutting the sources, even going as far as to completely scrap the version of the code that was released in the original version and re-fork litecoin.

Now I'm in the process of implementing a new base architecture to place atop the already existing blockchain to eliminate a direct lineage in the code from bitcoin at all.  As I stated, my unreleased 2nd gen crypto is getting a rewrite as LTCD 2.0.  Expect plenty of updates to our existing 1.1 version that everyone is using, but 2.0 is my end goal, and will be nothing short of a complete rewrite.

It is funny to hear lines like "I really don't understand how the crypto community (majority) can just keep cloning bitcoin/litecoin sources and patching "features" into it." when this coin has done nothing to set itself apart.  The original "dev" stated they want this coin to be like BTCD and to just take parts from every other coin and that is about it.

I have my mac set up and ready to compile the osx client.  I want a more general purpose linux binary as the ones I've compiled have been coming from a 64 bit arch system, and it seems like the majority of users are running on debian wheezy (on which it is already difficult for the average user to get a compile going) and I'm thinking of releasing debs along with the flat binaries.

The first priority is fixing this overly complex build system to simplify the release cycle.

warning: opinion following
I really don't understand how the crypto community (majority) can just keep cloning bitcoin/litecoin sources and patching "features" into it.  The current build system works great for one or two projects, but when you've got hundreds of altcoins out there all with different library dependencies (all based on when they were forked from whatevercoin) it becomes a mess keeping up with all of it.  We have to fix this as in my opinion, it only serves to help keep this codebase an unmaintainable mess of largely undocumented disorganized code.



And you've also surely read my statement on the matter.  TL;DR - People in this thread need to chill out, on both sides of the issue.  I never insulted anyone, nor did anyone on the team.  Some of our supporters surely did, but it isn't my place to apologize for them, and I will not.  They are as entitled to their opinions as you are, regardless of how furious it makes anyone else, but that does not excuse personal attacks from anyone.

That said, I stand by my statement that the price is irrelevant.  I'm not trying to make money here, so I couldn't care less if the price dropped to 1 satoshi.  I'm trying to write code that could potentially strengthen crypto as a whole.  While I don't agree with the majority of what you say, and have seen quite a bit of FUD from you in the past, I am seriously angry with the personal attacks that you have received and stand firm with you on that matter.

Basically this: I don't have to like you or what you say to respect you.  I just wish the entire community, on both sides, would drop the childishness and focus on what we're trying to accomplish here.

I Thought kids were suppose to be in bed and not on the net hmm
