Anyway, SuperNET has over 5 dozen people active in slack, over 10000 messages already and a lot of activity is happening
Just ask for an invite if you want to help. I keep coding away and making progress, but there is only so much I can do and it will take the help of the community to fully actualize SuperNET. In fact, once my low level work is done, then I really become much less important and that is my goal.
Next year I want to be the leading SuperNET applications creator
By making dozens (yes dozens) of SuperNET reference applications, I will demonstrate how to make money via SuperNET. Similar to what I did with the NXT AE. Instead of telling people via fancy graphics and press releases, I will just do it and let the market decide how much they like it.
longzai is making very good progress on the GUI and soon we should have end user Windows and Mac versions. The marketing guys are doing great work with helping explain things.
So, we are on track for end of year functional release of SuperNET. And if blockNET is ready in Q2 next year like they plan, i would be happy to help them interface to the SuperNET. They keep saying that only coins that let SuperNET buy 10% can join the SuperNET core, but this is false. Only the coins that want to be featured in the SuperNET GUI and getting the cross promotion and technical integration, need to let us buy 10%. If they just want to use the SuperNET services, any coin can do this. Theoretically it would be possible for a coin to make a SuperNET addon that has support for their services and they can bypass the whole selling 10% and getting the technical integration and cross promotion thing that some coins seem to not want.
If you were worried about the competition, then it is something to note, but remember that SuperNET is spending 1% on things like all this development, not 100%, so ignoring market fluctuations, the NAV will remain. The revenue projections are quite difficult to make and I priced it at 0 due to this. Long term, with a big user base, then of course the revenues will be quite significant, but this requires a lot of work, progress and most importantly cooperation among all the coins.
With SuperNET, we have financial ties with the core coins and this will be needed to ensure continued cooperation, especially if we are in a prolonged bear market. What is easy to join, is easy to unjoin and I much rather have few coins with long term commitment to build upon.
In any case, I am personally coding the vast majority of what is needed for SuperNET to function and I will do this. Everyone can see my progress on github and it is not a reference to some third party repo, but the actual code. With any privacy tech, this is absolutely vital. Maybe the fact that it is just one guy doing all the core work is a risk factor, but at least you know who is doing it and what I am doing. Kind of funny that SuperNET has an anon dev with totally open source and blocknet has a non-anon dev with closed source. Well, with all the recent actions by the USA govt, I might think that any non-anon anybody will be in for some legal issues, if not from the govt, from the class action lawyers. Those guys seem to be able to convince USA juries to award such large sums from such silly things, I wonder what they will do about blocknet claims of guaranteed financial gains.
I specifically priced the future revenues at zero due to the fact that the tech still had to be developed, user base created and then monetized. This certainly has a lot of potential, and I am quite optimistic of the results, even during these bear market days.

P.S. funny that SuperNET was immediately moved to the non-hotbed of activity called "Marketplace", but blocknet is allowed to stay in the main announcements thread.
