What's the outlook so far for the coin? How's development going?
Really good. tacotime has pretty much finished specs and detailed pseudocode. Implementation is built out from there, with lots of testing to be done, but it's moving.

I'd be interested in sponsoring a server (or plural) when things are ready to start. Nodes, Pools, etc.
That would be pretty cool. We will have a place set up where everyone can chip in with whatever they want to help with.
Great, keep me updated
. I've never run pool server, but if it's as simple as some of the BTC/Alt coin services, no problemo. Hopefully I can just Linux servers and stay away from Windows... Renaming it would send a positive signal, IMHO. But only if the renaming occurs close to the delivery, when almost everything is up and working.
That's a good point. Back it in the day, someone suggested Netcoin as a name and the community ran with it. It was great, until someone decided to launch a clone under the same name, and that caused a fiasco. I think some people even ended up buying Netcoin on exchanges thinking it was this project - which is terrible.
We had a survey on here too, and we collected a whole bunch of names from people. Using all of that input, and a lot of talking, we ended up with a name where we could get a solid domain. That's pretty important when you need to reach beyond specialised communities to people who can't access non-standard channels.
Lots of lessons to take in and learn from, that's for sure.
Anyway, it'll be under a completely different name because MC2 doesn't describe the technology anymore after all the transitions, but it has a sentimental ring to it as a project for those who remember.

It's also super important that people get to voice themselves and be active in the development of the community/technology. Informed users should get to determine the future of what they're using, not a small group of people, even though, realistically a small group of people is what you require to get things going - but that doesn't mean you keep a small group closed off from others (that screws up the whole notion of community). People can join together, whatever their aptitude, and work toward what they want.

To learn MC, I must read from first page.
I think if you do that, it'd get pretty confusing.
There have been so many transitions over the last year, both personal and project-wise, that it'd be a complicated story. I think today the people still working on this after all this time will tell you it's looking better than ever.The people involved now I think have a lot of experience in the crypto world, and are thinking about the long-term health and sustainability of bringing a cryptocurrency to light. You want more than something that'll just be a one-hit wonder. You've got to start thinking about continuous dev, and making that possible is no easy task - especially given how small the quality dev pool is in cryptocurrency. tacotime even quit his job to work on this, and I think that's pretty cool.
This coin might actually be a really good one to watch and get in on. I will be watching this thread.
Updates?
Pseudocode specifications for block validation and ticketing system are being peer reviewed by programmers tomorrow. I'll be talking to them about some other problems in memory/orphan management I've yet to solve too.

Yep, always keeping an eye on this.
It has been 2 weeks from last post in this tread. Are there any updates ? Dev is actively working on Monero project but this one seems to be a bit neglected.
I am actively working on this more than MRO right now. I will try to push some basic code outlines this week, then hack away until regtest is functional. Stay tuned.
Awesome - we're here to give you feedback as soon as there's something to review.
I will be following and hopefully have some useful feedback soon and/or a way I can contribute.

Oh.... thanks for the confirmation. Saw your handle several times with respect to MRO.
