Hello all,
I believe there's lots of speculation that we are gone, or that it's a scam, or that we are vacationing somewhere at the end of the world.
That's just not true.
Well some of the team is out for a while, but rest of us are working daily. Yet the work is not - communicating, it's preparing for next phase.
At this moment - we are in a setup phase. When you setup your new workspace - there's usually not much so show in the beginning, as the actual work isn't considered started yet. Same holds true for Mysterium. Not much to show, mostly preparation tasks, as active development hasn't started yet - that's why you are not seeing any updates in our repository.
We are in a process of setting up team and various elements of working environment. That includes lots of invisible things happening behind the scenes. Development phase will follow a bit later - first we must prepare for it.
Some of you are comparing us to Ethereum Foundation. That's a bit unfair - EF is an established organisation with well established processes and a substantial team. We are not there yet. If you have been following Ethereum team for their first year(2014), then you will remember - there was not much of visible progress in the beginning, while they were increasing their output towards the launch of Olympic - a full year later. That's because it's slow in the beginning, that's the time to lay your solid foundation and it's more than just development of the product. This is exactly what we are doing now. We need to make sure first things are in place before we head into development. So I am sorry, but for the next few months - there will not be much to show, especially on the product side. Yet we will still find ways to show you our progress, just please don't expect a rocket launch (I mean product launch) tomorrow - that would be a bit unrealistic.
Mysterium is a long term project and that's how we inside the team look at it - as a long term commitment.
Some more specific updates will flow within next few weeks.
Thank you for understanding and hope you are all enjoying a great summer.
P.S. By the way - soon we will start looking for team in our Berlin office (mostly developers), if you know anyone who might be a great addition to Mysterium team - please let me know.

... could become a good project ... I hope the team does what they promised and uses their chance to bring up a good and working product which would benefit all parties (including themselves) ...
