O.K. DrDolittle, you've proven yourself but why have you felt the need to sow the seeds of doubt in the community? Some of us have been here since the beginning and have always been willing to support you and your work but then you seemingly abandoned the project and expect it to be self-sustaining on autopilot for over a year. Then when people take it upon themselves to attempt to do something constructive to advance Blackcoin and keep it relevant you call them/us traitors. It's not about being traitorous, it has been about trying to keep Blackcoin alive in your absence. You don't have to be a one-man show, in fact, having you as a single point of failure as the only dev is problematic. If you want to lead, then lead, if not, go be a Satoshi and let those that are willing take over as in Bitcoin. I'm going to repeat myself, it's not about anybody being traitorous, the community came to believe we already had a Satoshi on our hands.

Thank you!

Now can we have a normal dev. talk like in Good Ol' days?
am missing it very much, community want's us to work together,
I can give it a try and read some code of yours, like before.
You know how you can contact me, let's cooperate.

Stop this circus!

How about explaining to the forum where this has come from and linking to the cool stuff? The OP there looks more half assed than rat4's in a way given how much we have to show off.

Ouch. Was requested to get it sorted by Janko and up asap with everything else. Doesn't have to be pretty at first. Isn't exactly Blackcoin's first hello.

EDIT: Fixed up now

Sorry to disappoint you but one man band it is,
dev's who volunteered to help with Lore want to continue.
More communication, more support,
don't want to loose more dev's, as it happened many times in past
I don;t blame them I was warned, (dev's from blackpool to name few)

Get on gitter, more dev's came already today too..

Have some stash which will be rewarded to all dev's who participate
goal is to create tools to let community govern itself, no kings.
Everyone is welcome, history teaches all kings were beheaded.
Crowd sourcing, voting on stakes, better ways to create your own money.


can't, I tried and am still ignored, don't want to waste more time in this theater.
it happened many times in past

wish you luck with your blacknet rat4,
Blackcoin development with help of community will continue here

The DrDolittle guy is (unless someone else managed to obtain not only the 2 accounts on here but also the original BLK address) rat4, the original developer of BlackCoin.
While he used to communicate with the community and other developers in the past, he suddenly ceased to do so.
Other devs, most notably janko33, started to build a new wallet, integrated colored coins, atomic swaps and so on on top of the original BLK protocol - w/o rat4/DrDolittle - as they had to assume that he abandoned the project (read the posts of the last days to get a feeling for it).
Totally out of the blue rat4/DrDolittle announced that BLK will no longer be BLK and is going to be forked into "BlackNet", obviously assuming that everyone, including exchanges and the community, will follow.

Current situation is:

1. BLK will continue according to the plans and works of janko33 and his group, with BLK being updated to include the improvements from the latest bitcoin core base. That version of BLK will (also) require a fork but stick to the current BLK PoS protocol that is proven by BLK itself and a couple of thousand forks. We do believe, that that version will stay listed on the exchanges.

2. rat4/DrDolittle will at some point "take a BLK snapshot" and fork into his "new Blacknet", though nobody but him (and maybe his secret circle) knows what that is going to mean, what technology it is going to use, if and how it is going to be tested in public etc. You can at this point only obtain Blacknet coins/token/whatever by holding BLK at the moment of the not yet announced snapshot.

Hope that helps,
@janko/gritt feel free to correct me if I am wrong with anything, due to family stuff I could not follow our gitter and other sources closely.

this post is also copied into the new BLK thread.

Forgive me, I should have explained that what I mean by "Wait & See" is to see what rat4 brings to the table with 'Blacknet' and if it actually does happen.

A coin that has always been active.
There should be a foundation for the black currency, which covers the world's Promotion Ambassador to promote the popularity of the international community in the black currency.

A bounty could be started, that is reliant totally on community donated support.
