Thanks for the feedback evtrmm and Testing Cyrpto.

From my point of view, videos and tutorials won't work as TC said above.

Think apple, (whether you use them or not) it works and is intuitive.

I am not a fan, I do have a Macbook air that I use when I travel, but have a PC desktop and android phone. I tried to get my wife off the iphone onto andriod, she couldn't get back to the iphone fast enough, plus my daughter was a master of the iphone at age 3. My point? Work on easy use and benefits for using.

Just some thoughts:
1) wallet install is easy and looks like a online checking account
2) Backup, security, staking and other features or needed actions - simple and automatic (is it possible to use the block-chain to store backup security and other stuff?)
3) Ability to use the coin - a way to seamlessly transfer to fiat (US$) for spending? and back when receiving fiat. Thinking if staking the coin, it would be a benefit to earn "interest" while your waiting to use the coin.
4) Ability to use the coin in same way as above with a "debt card" or some sort of mobile payment while away from computer without having to transfer coin from one wallet to another. Fees that merchants pay could pay for the card manufacture, and if the merchant takes Tech they save the merchant fees and the consumer shares in the savings?

Not sure if any of this is do able or if so "we" (the TC community) may not have the resources to accomplish...

Hope this helps the discussion and direction of the Techcoin!

I think we should implement some kind of anon. technology and then join the BTCD "supernetwork" which solidifies the anon technology and security. If implementing anon tech is beyond the scope of what our devs. can do, I would be willing to fund the project ( as long as I could vet the dev. who would be contracted to implement the anon).  By farming out any possible anon. I would still expect the current dev team to be running the show (in case that was unclear).

as far as how many coins are staking, I really don't know how to tell.

With the anon tech, it is something that we talked about and want to do, just we were waiting for the proper open source solution.  So yeah, once Eden gets back, we can go over this with him.

Does anyone know how much BTC it would cots to have someone make a better block explorer with a rich list?  I can't imagine it would cost that much.

If anyone has an idea of cost or is capable of doing this and wants to give me a quote please post a reply or PM me.   

Quietly working, patiently waiting for the rest of the community to come back.

I've been working on the new wallet in my spare time.  I'm pretty close to having a finished product, maybe as early as next week.  It all depends on how much time I'm able to dedicate to it.  We'll give our friends a little more time to come back, but eventually we'll just have to move forward if they don't.  I think we should relaunch with a new "Rebirth of TECH" thread.  We'll have the new wallet available with a nicer graphical design, built in block explorer, and it will sync without having to download the blockchain.  I'm also planning to buy up some TECH for a giveaway and for bounties such as better block explorer with rich list, translations, seed nodes, multipool, etc.

can you add me to the board please?

I think

Cool, now what is your take on the website, new thread, new block explorer, or anything else?
