I suspect there is at least a dev or two working on reviving this that hasn't said anything about it

Because, as I said (earlier in the thread, you may have missed it), I'm not a great dev, and even if I was relying on one dev is stupid, all it takes is a mental breakdown and the coin is worthless.

As I said before, I can only see only the following options for vcash:

1) hold onto our coins in the hope that something magical happens
2) cash out at pennies on the dollar (at least in my case, I bought pretty high)
3) pool some of our resources together to fund further development and support.

I asked for a tentative show of hands of who would might interested in contributing some of their XVC to a dev fund and how much, so I could see if option 1 was plausible. If there was a great response we could pull together and work out the details of how to manage it and allocate it (bounties or whatever). But there isn't (a tentative 10,000 XVC so far and 5000 of that was me). so no point in wasting brainpower on that option.

I use C++ at work maybe once a week when something goes wrong, that's where I'm at (and I'm not going to mix my work identity with this by posting my github profile here). I'll push my changes with a new account when I think things are good enough and if someone wants to adopt them into vcash codebase they are welcome to. I'm willing to put time in if I think the coin is going to go somewhere and I have a stake, but I don't think the existing vcash chain and 'brand' is going anywhere unless the community can somehow manage to pull together and incentivize a dev community (which is what I was testing the water for). But, as I said, I really like the tech (zerotime etc, it's not very anonymous but that can be worked on) which is why I'm probably going to start with a fresh slate and not the existing vcash chain, that route provides a better chance of having an active dev community and not simply a dev.

I don't understand why you're saying you'd put in funds when you're doing the work.  If you really are a skilled dev, what is your github and who would handle the dev fund?  I would pay a decent amount and I believe one other person would as well.  Some holders with less who probably haven't checked this thread would also contribute.

I really don't believe a word you are saying, sorry

There was originally one key dev, John Conner. He had a bit of a breakdown and everything fell apart. Then a small community took over which appears to no longer exist. Lessons learned are: 1) don't rely on one dev and 2) make sure devs have an incentive to keep going.

Right now (as far as I know) I'm the only one working on the code. The original dev left a backdoor which has now been fixed, but there may be others, so I'm slowly reviewing each line of code and making improvements along the way.

I've put a call out for existing owners of the coin to pool some of their XVC for a development fund but there has been almost no interest.

I like the tech behind this coin but at this point I will most likely be relaunching the codebase with my cleanups and modifications as a new coin (not Vcash) and somehow (I'm not sure how yet) ensure that there's an adequate development fund without using a premine. If there's no reason for developers to put time and effort into a coin there is no coin.

The it is officially dead. i found out one thing though...that JC maybe is part of the GDT Lisk team.

https://github.com/smith7800/vanillacoin/pull/1

Wallet has been disabled from months.... so I don't see why they would keep it...

Weren't there more people at the beginning? I though you were a team taking over the project?
Can you give us a little update about what are you doing right now?

I heard they want remove vcash from polo at the nearest delisting. Who know this is true?

Me.

But I'm not promising anything. The tech itself is great, just no community. If the community ends up picking it up again it will probably go back to the price it was before (i.e. a 10x increase).

If you need help just post here, I check this thread every couple of days.

Is there still anyone working on this coin?

The price fell because there is a single dev running everything and he had a mental breakdown, which is totally understandable.

I'm quietly working on somewhat of a solution though, don't know how it will turn out, let's see what happens.

Hello
What is waiting for a coin in the future? Why did the price fall?

Lucky bastard.

Because no one cares. Why would they waste time maintaining wallets for this coin when even our own community is basically dead?

Just signed up to say I also bought 10k of vcash to run a node, high and dry now. I'll throw in 5,000 as well. So we're at 10,000 now.

@francisthecrusher is 100% correct, there are only 3 choices here. Choice 1 is.. well... the easiest but has a 95% chance of a complete less. Choice 2, well, I don't know where everyone else bought in but I bought in at a high point so I'd lose about US$2500-3000 personally. 3 is the best option and fastest way to make those holding vcash recover their investment, I don't think it's going to happen though because there's no community anymore, I guess everyone sold already or lost interest. I saw that the margin cap went from 500BTC to 610BTC in the last 24 hours though, if we had an active dev and some light at the end of the tunnel we could take advantage.

I have very low hopes given no one else has put a number down and the community seems pretty dead, but the theoretical dev fund is 10,000 XVC now.

dev fund tally: 10,000XVC

so weeks later nobody can fix this up? what a terrible time for jc to have bailed and dumped. Every semi decent coin is rising fast.

Why Poloniex and Bittrex wallets are still down ?!

I'd throw in more than that if we have a good reason

I think so, yes.
