500K is a good start...hopefully we will hear soon on how much $$$ it will take.  I don't see raising financial support toward an actual goal as much of a problem.  

I have so many things to say, that I kept inside me for so long... Instead, I'll just do a couple of questions to everyone care to answer me honestly:

Why does people think that designing/analyzing/developing is something everyone can do, in a very little time and it costs nothing? (in effort to learn new things, understand better old things, gather resources and knowledge that is needed to support a project)

Why do people think that a developer does not put a lot of money in the table with his time and effort? When you go to work, don't you get a sallary? When a developer spends time for a new wallet feature or a coin, isn't he heavily investing with his time? (that is valued in real money) Those money when put to developing the coin or a new wallet, isn't a heavy investment on behalf of the dev team?

Why do you think that implementing "anon", second linked chains, addin systems (without compromising security) is so simple and should be ready yesterday?

I would prefer to see people reply to me in IRC. Better way to communicate and you can "feel" the one you are talking with. No need to browse pages of pages in order to get the main idea and concept of a conversation

Thanks for your thoughts mindfox, I'm not sure everyone was seeing it from your perspective.

Heres the important question. Can you implant the features the community wants and how much BTC will it cost us. We needed a new wallet months ago and want to add new features to make Whitecoin more attractive to everyone.

Hi Everyone,

Now that the power situation has stabilized and that I've caught up on my IRL work, I'm now back on IRC for those who have been looking for me. Lots of updates and great things still in the pipeline. I'd like to thank mindfox for coming back to talk with us despite having a very full plate trying to balance family, IRL work, and crypto.

As some of you have probably guessed, I've held off on sending out our release about Bill C-31 until next week, the news cycle along with my own spotty internet/power situation didn't really support it being picked up this week.

Considering what a lively and interesting discussion we've had regarding anon features, I hope it's been made clear to everyone that while we have not cancelled any plans, we have indeed extended the community consultation process.

As a final note regarding the conversation on here of the last few days, I'd like to thank everyone who made a special effort to stay positive in the face of some difficult circumstances this week. I've been working in online communications now for many years, and in my professional opinion we are indeed seeing the work of coordinated trolls in our thread. As a result, we will be implementing some community guidelines and requesting that BCT grant our community the ability to moderate this thread.

Freedom of speech will always be respected by the WCF, but very soon any outright falsehood will be deleted mercilessly and without apology.

We've got some more good news coming for you soon, along with a financial update from the foundation tomorrow!

All the best,

Chris

Your trolling stopped being funny 600 pages of comments ago, know you're just being a dick.

Why do you still post here instead of selling and cutting your loses? Or simply backup that wallet file away and wait to see if something ever happen?

Your useless trolling only helps driving the price down and keeps the focus away from real discussions about the future of the coin and foundation.

I am going to go take care of some personal issue so I won't be around for awhile (lol). So go ahead and continue to troll this crap coin and extract as much wealth as you can from all the noobs before they understand your shill practice and connections to MossaNYC and Pr0m to name a few. David Pate and I will be watching and when Fontas shows up, this coin is history. But hey, you have been warned.

bahahaha of all the real scam coins out there, you are wasting your time on a legit one that had a bad start?

You'll fit right up there on the BTC-e.com chat group! LOL

I have lots of faith in you but we (as in the community) really need to start seeing some actual progress before everyone dumps this to 1 liteoshi.

P.S. I hope your smarter than censoring everyone.
