I can understand the frustration of @Jurgen69 since I can confirm that most of his points are true. The roadmap is very delayed, but as you said it happens I can understand. But even if this is a side project for the developer let's admit he is not capable of developing this coin/project, he deosn't have the skills to do it. For example I know a project (I won't reveal the name in here to not make covered advertising) where 1 core dev alone from the team implemented masternodes in just under 1 month on a coin built from scratch and this dev can't fix a damn POS percentage in months, I bet a skilled core dev can fix this in one day with 2-3 lines of code.
Anyway I just wonder why he doesn't get away and let other, capable devs, to code and develop this project so that everyone be happy.
And the XNODES implementation is just a joke, is not delayed for a year because he didn't had the time or skills to make it happen, but because you can't do it unless you start a new chain, like it happened with his 'other side project' INSANE coin and who knows how many others.
Friendly tip: Just let it go and forgot about this shitcoin, forget about the promises of XNODES and SITE ON CHAIN because it won't happen in this century unless some other devs take the lead.
Peace!
That's the problem, everything is only discussed by the team. What updates? Do you want to talk about github? OK, let's talk! If you are a noob, looking at some commits since 3 months ago, and calling this developement, make me think that you are just an ass licking shill who waits for the team members to trow you some dust coins for the trouble. Anyway let's talk about the last commits: Last one = a change to the ping timeout param (from 15 to 60 sec). Very big update indeed! You call this developement?! Do you talk about more github commits? OK, let's check last 10! Checking last 10 commits there is nothing notable, only minor changes on the info side like changing copiright years and some Readme.md infos (messed up) or changing a wallet hot key from (Alt+7 to Alt+8). If this is developement for you, then you are just a pathetic shill, like I've said in the first place.
So ... what exactly is your point? I mean, what you're saying is partially true, there is low visible development but if you take a look at
the xNode branch for example there are some pretty interesting things happening (that was about 2 months ago). The criticism you are giving here is not new, as aren't the problems you are pointing out ... Espers is a rather complex and (maybe overly) ambitious project and CryptoCoderz is a developer with medium work output. So delays like this happened quite a few times in the past and so far he was always able to surprise those that were patient enough to stay.
And you also have to take into account that CC is not just copy & pasting masternode code here. He's developing an entirely new concept that has almost nothing to do with traditional masternodes (hence why it is called differently). Same for our custom POS/POW balancing that was implemented about a year ago or so. These things take time because they are naturally complex.
Maybe some other developer could do it faster, but the truth is that there is no other developer doing it. Maybe the project goals could be achieved faster by pasting together code from other projects, but that is not the idea of the project! This project has always been presented as an experimental project of Cryptocoderz to implement his ideas and create custom solutions. So if you don't like what you are seeing, you are free to leave. Some people here are just watching the project out of curiosity, most are probably investors/speculators looking to make profit. For this project, the same rules apply as for any other investment. There is risk and there is a certain reward associated with that risk because the price already reflects the risk/uncertainty according to market theory.
So ... what is left? Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't. If you can contribute something to make it happen, feel free to do so. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Pretty simple.
