Well, Rosetta happens to be virtually identical for either and it isn't that complicated except for balance changes without explicit transactions, eg fees and interest on stake. But probably not that complicated really.
I am not really sure what you have in mind, or what ways to start a conversation... Messenger, keybase, Viber, Schmiber, fiber. Oh, I have wire too. KB is my preference as it's paper key saved most of my digital id. l0k18 - c&p cos that has numbers
Graphene Zapata should launch soon perhaps within a few days. Then we need a week or so to get the API up, the Web Wallet, and Block Explorer. Then ZAPA should be listed on @ionomy.
Once all that is done, we can start to look at how best to add value to the project. Rosetta is up there at the top of the list but maybe not the #1 priority.
I'm hoping that someone from 'the community' throws up a public Condenser, while I will shift my attention to building a private Condenser of sorts (doesn't have to be Condenser).
This private blockchain interface will be an exclusive, invite only type of deal at zapatasocial.com. The focus in there will be bringing Zapata (ZAPA) to market in a big way; exchanges, media/PR, ecosystem development, and crypto industry 'partnerships'.
Upvotes via our 69,000,000 ZAPA will be laser focused on (1). incentivizing a core group of killer crypto entrepreneurs, and (2). sponsoring young entrepreneurs in Nigeria.
The hope is to ensure that everyone involved at this early stage will see 500k to 1 million ZAPA.
Well, I would be interested in doing something, obviously, in Go, such as a Coinbase Rosetta middleware, which I already did start working on, before I started to realise that food costs were gonna completely break my budget there in stupid Varna tourist trap. I tried using a co-working space and that was working great but sleeping in a hammock in an abandoned outdoor disco was not doing so great for my nerves or my sleep.
I will be hunting the means to be able to do some work, of course it won't be as easy to progress with it while running on batteries and needing to sit in probably inconvenient positions in the locations where power can be found. I have one option for a place here but to use this space I would need some sort of portable power solution (solar panel, large capacity battery) and I have internet, but that would be beyond the means I currently have.
I am not sure exactly what will be possible at this point.
I will say one thing though, I hope you have enough understanding of security to not have people publishing 0days on vulnerabilities of the chain, or, the mistake that led to that, deprioritising the fix to remove RC, which was a complete and total fuckup. Or letting obvious infiltrators continue to ponce around in the chatrooms, and then publish a script that spams the chain with new nonsense accounts every block.
Enough on that.
The biggest problem I forsee is the legacy c++ code which is unweildy, complicated and ... expensive to pay for work to be done on it.
The other issue I see is that, I personally think that 10% inflation is way too high. It should be no more than 9%, and ideally around 5%, and after watching the amounts being paid on witnesses, the share split to rewards should be increased to 75% and curation eliminated. 15% to witnesses and 10% to the caretakers of the chain code.
Keeping the legacy account balances was also a huge mistake, I was glad that you weren't thinking of doing that. Blurt can't possibly be worth very much for at least 14 weeks, at minimum. Probably more like 6 months.
