I was waiting for the drama already a month, since he been removed from the team on github: https://github.com/orgs/decred/people PS: @moo1337 thanks for the update.
So what happens to his 'share of coins' that were held as a part of the DEVS premine? The new mods gets it or were they sold on the markets?
Hey, I'm still around! Just super busy with my job. I try and check in once in a while, but since I don't have a ton of free time for Decred right now, I removed myself from the Github organisation. When I get time to participate more actively again, I will apply to get added again, but it's a participation thing (I also don't have access to the C0 DCR chats).
Wow....Ur last seen was like 4-5weeks ago and now you came out of nowhere...lol Great to see you around and the hardwork you did during the early days of DCR, from its inception to airdrop thingy and more. OKAY, devs/mods and ingsoc....thanks for answering my queries.. Wish you guys and the project, a very all the best.
Aha! I knew this forum was being too quiet recently! We should have had a better signing off thread for _ingsoc !!! He is by far one of the best Mods on the internet out of all the forums I have ever been to, and has really kept the entire project organized. :') Hope you get free time and become active here once again! And welcome @moo1337 !!
Great news! Decred devs impeccable & brisk as always @_ingsoc Thanks for all the amazing work you've done so far for the project and all you will still do in the future when you return. Warm welcome to new mod. @moo1337
Thanks to All you for the great job! Someone told me the other day that we needed a more active forum... I cannot wait for that update to
Very nice Prometheus Wallet, can't wait to test it out and try the stake pools. Used the installer and it worked great. On my server where I'm running the PoS, I just updated the binaries. Thank you all for the hard work!
things will be getting more interesting over the next several weeks, so i expect the forum to get busy again. a lot of the original forum activity was centered around "how do i do X?" and i believe our documentation may have been too effective, in that it drastically reduced posting on the forum.
