question from a noob on this coin to others who've been more closely following it:
could anyone summarise what's special about it?
were basic aspects ready at launch - wallet, blockexplorer, website, whitepaper and/or features, etc. - or is the [ANN] promise-heavy?
have the devs lived up to their promises?
Any hidden problems -
premines?
instamines?
well distributed? is there a rich list?
buggy code?
are these are hard core programmers, not "copy-paste" devs or middlemen? When bugs/fork challenge pop up, are they fixed quickly?
dev squabbles?
dev complacency?
missed deadlines?
Is the entirte dev team anonymous -- and even if so, does it at least have a solid reputation here on bitcointalk?
Anything to worry about?
When is the next significant development update (code, screenshots and/or whitepaper/proof-of-concept or something else) expected to come out?
-Basic aspects were ready at launch.
-
devs have lived up to their promises. Devs have exceeded their promises.
-premine is 0.000778%...the smallest premine Ive ever seen.
-no instamine
-rich list and block explorer is built into the wallet
-no dev squabbles, there was fud last month about a whitepaper which the devs didnt review and trusted a 3rd party write up and release.
-devs are always active, have great credentials and extremely transparent. Their names, locations and credentials were listed on the reuters article
-no missed deadlines
-Current features...in wallet twitter feed, IRC, BlockExplorer, Poof Anon messaging where the messages self destruct.
Next wallet release will be in a few days and will include SFRbit to spend SFR where BTC is accepted (bringing real life use to SFR as a currency)
SFRsend anon transactions.
Future wallet will include in wallet trading, expansion on the AnonMessaging system with voice calls and video calls.
