This is an official statement from the Peercoin Team regarding Sunny King’s Vee project. First of all, the team has directly communicated with Sunny about his new project, so we would like to confirm here that this is a real project and it is officially from Sunny King and Scott Nadal.
The Peercoin Team is currently not associated with project Vee. None of our team members are working on it except for Sunny and our team cannot judge the project as we currently have no knowledge of how it works from a technical standpoint. That said, the Peercoin team is open to a potential partnership once we’ve had the opportunity to evaluate it.
An important point that the community will want to know is that this development, while unexpected for many, will NOT negatively effect the current development speed of Peercoin or its roadmap and timelines. For over a year now Peercoin has largely operated as a team environment without assistance from Sunny. His long absence over the past year did not hurt us. Due to Peerchemist’s leadership and hard work from everyone on the team, we were able to deliver Peercoin v0.6 and successfully upgrade the network.
The Peercoin team will continue on its current path forward set out in our roadmap. Sunny is still welcome to contribute to Peercoin and we hope Vee and Peercoin developers may have an opportunity to work together in the future. For now we will wait for Vee’s release along with the rest of the public and we wish Sunny success in his new endeavor.
