I added my hash to try and help move the chain but so far no luck.
I agree. adding PoS to this would be great. I'd suggest talking to twoturtles AKA syntaks about doing the work first, and if he can't help then I agree with the other guys that presstab would be a good option.
Syntaks and press are both very qualified devs. It looks like the chain started moving again around 5 AM EST and had stopped at 10 PM the day before. This is unacceptable if you plan on using this to pay for a service. You need a chain that will continue to move regardless of the transaction size. Strict PoW requires people dedicated to sticking their hardware onto the chain and right now it's me and just a few other people still mining this coin. I'm not willing to give it my full hash either given the current price and drastic diff issues.
It's been given to me on good word that SPEC looks fairly legit and the devs seem dedicated. My suggestion in order to improve consumer confidence. Provide a select few of us to demo and beta test your system with you.
As someone who tests web applications for a living I can attest having new eyes on your project will bring issues to the light that the devs would of missed on their own. It's in your best interest, SPEC devs, to allow people to view your private beta and to perform tests on the system. Having never seen it before and not knowing how it's supposed to act gives us a clean slate when it comes to bug testing. Which overall is very beneficial to not only keeping development on track but also giving the community hope that it will be released.
