[quote=“intristin, post:37, topic:3660”]Ok guys, I’m gonna be lurking in these forums. I have converted all my peercoin holdings to bitcoin in the last hour. I have repointed my miners to Antpool. I really do belive that peercoin could be the future of cryptocurrency. But the truth is peercoin needs more development, it needs a roadmap, it needs CPR at this point. The development is dead, the community is dead, but at first sign of life I will be back. I really belive your code is better than Bitcoin, your future can be better, but this is a financial product at the end of the day, and a year and a half between releases is unacceptable. The lack of communication is unacceptable. The lack of even a public roadmap is unacceptable. Maybe it’s acceptable to all of you, but not for me. Good luck, I hope you guys can turn it around, and if you can, I will be back. :-/ Hire more developers, I have no doubt that Sunny King is a Genius, but one man, no matter how smart he is can not bring this back, he needs help. Get him help, or this coin die.
PS: And for god sakes, fix the ticker or remove it from the template, it makes this website look like a 4th grade project that got a D-.[/quote]
Thank you for your feedback.
I understand your reasoning.
We share a common information basis, but come to different conclusions and that’s ok!It seems we have different expectations.
You know, a (big?) part of all the decision making (which coin to prefer) is close to religious belief or preference for political parties/orientations.
I’m into Peercoin and I doubt that can be changed.
But I don’t feel like I have no reason for that.
On the contrary, I look forward to seeing discussion about voting (on blockchain) or distributing information (as hash of an external statement/message) while minting. I hope it will become a part of Peercoin and will try to do my part to make that possible.
As long as this community can be described like this:
I don’t know why to leave.
If you are looking for something blockchain based with steady and rapid development, with a vision, lots of communication, a road map and where the community is also great, have a look at https://discuss.nubits.com
But be warned:
Nu is a business.
The shares (NSR) of that business might skyrocket or hit the bottom hard.
Before you consider becoming NSR holder, please realize this is something that requires activity and attention - NSR holders are ultimately responsible for their business!
Still I consider Nu’s prospect better than Bitcoin’s (which I consider doomed - a train wreck waiting to happen due to economical reasons).
Fixing Bitcoin is hard or impossible.
Bitcoin miners and Bitcoin users are only tied loosely with each other by economical incentives, but without proper feedback loops.
Bitcoin works well if the price rises.
Bitcoin has a hard time if the price falls and stays low. This has not always been true, but it is since mining Bitcoin is a multi million Dollar business.
Fixing Nu is possible as long as the NSR holders find the right way.
Have a look at the development and its pace as well as the radical changes that were made at Nu: History of the Nu Network
I rather see you lurking here and contributing at Nu than “losing” you to Bitcoin (the quasi religious thingy, you see?)
…if you visit the NuBits forum frequently you might start to think differently about Peercoin’s development speed
