Whether it was a yearly DVD distribution or an actual application that could frequently connect and get new coins/prices on a daily basis. It might even be able to make uploading coins easier if it could scan a photo directory and then you could choose the coins to link to the pictures and then upload to our server. Realistically, I don't see that happened for at least another 12-24 months, unless I am suddenly able to find some technical help. | ||

Does the site support the query side of things now, and the application development is all that's needed? Or is it 12-24 months for the queries as well? | ||

In the next 6 months I hope to greatly improve upon the site by further developing the content and features. I would like a standalone version of the database in some form soon as well as a mobile friendly version of the site (uploads from a cell phone camera would be great especially as resolution continues to improve). But before I'd devote much time and resources I'd want CoinBrag to have at least 100,000 coins entered and 25% or more of those with photos. So whether that happens in the next year or two, I am not sure. I do feel good that it's going to happen. :) | ||
