Sorry but we are witnessing one of the most epic failures in crypto. And the devs are hoping that they can pick up on that anytime later. Don't they get it that if they won't act NOW it will be too late? This really sucks. Do you really think that if a coin goes sub 20 satoshi it can really grow twentyfold to get back to the ICO price? Syscoin should be lesson for all the devs in crypto how to fuck up good coin.
Look, the dev's priorities have already been decided, nothing we can do. Instead of bitching about the current state of sys, why not contribute to it moving forward. We're obviously working up a pretty nice bounty to get a decentralized app for the decentralized marketplace. You could contribute here by pledging or coding, or you could get creative in other ways.
Its pretty clear the devs arent taking much action (dev wise) until they get their funds. We want action sooner? Then its on us. I cried once, nothing to show for it, i started the bounty for the app, its over triple the size i started it at. See the difference?
Yeah, this is definitely good idea but it also shows the Main problem of this coin - community needs to take action for the devs because they refuse to work until they get their BTC back.
I don't see them as refusing, as much as I see them as overwhelmed and feeling convinced that there isn't time for dev right now (some are developing still but are very limited to their available hours).
There is a lot of development ongoing that is just not been commented on public. Yes, that may not have been the best decision in terms of PR as it turns out, and we see we needed to re-structure ourselves and set a new focus.
We decided to focus on the new wallet UI now, to get all the functionality SYS already offers out of the console right into the user's face so to say. It will support all basic functionality of SYS, and we plan to have it released within less than 4 weeks.All the other items as stated (again) by mwheeleruk are
not stopped, we just set highest prio on wallet now.
On the general development time, 2 members of our team were dedicated fulltime to SYS, and are now struggling financing their lives as the funds are not released by moolah. Simple it is, these two needed to get other jobs to pay the bills, so they have less time for coding (understandable, right?). We do have private repo's that work is happening on, and also on the different branches of syscoin (take a look, you can checkout some functionality in buggy alpha state already, e.g. assets).
It is ALWAYS great for a coin if community picks it up and builds services around it. I said already, but perfect example is Bitcoin itself: How many of the available services with BTC are built by the btc foundation / dev team?
Sphericon does a great job with his market, SYYK was an example of mine on what is possible with syscoin tech.
Be creative, and if you cannot code but have ideas on what you want to create, feel free to pm me, I can help coding and/or connect with other dev's (of the community).
Danosphere will update the roadmap later tonight / latest tomorrow to reflect the new focus and new dates for releases.
