In September last year I was already telling that time to market is critical... if they miss the 'wave' its too late so don't get me wrong I still hope they deliver but I'm sharing my thoughts with the community and hope it will help us get some more technical updates instead of the almost year long financial ad campaign... Deliver a good project and money will come, remember what you did with HUC, no need for crazy ICOs, you missed the timing for that (ICOs) so focus on the product as it alone can save the project.
As one data point: I've not been directly involved in the marketing and fund-raising so far, since I'm still working full time for a big internet company. (Nevertheless, I have already been working on building the first iteration of the core daemon.) With the money raised so far, we will be able to go full speed on technical development from now on - starting next week (June 1st), I've terminated my employment and will be working full time on Chimaera. Expect good technical progress on the core daemon and game channels from then on.
This is actually the first time ever that I work full time on crypto, so I'm really looking forward to it - and it also means that I will likely be able to deliver more development than any previous time, including on Namecoin and Huntercoin. (At the time when Huntercoin was in full speed, I was doing a PhD - and had more time than now for what was then a spare-time project, but still nowhere near full time.)
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to get this all rolling.
What we have here can change the world.
@fabricus
we've been working very closely with our partners on their games so that we can have something ready around the time of the main sale, along with a lot of other work..
don't worry, we didn't miss the storm,
we are the storm I love that.
I remember living in my beach front condo years ago and seeing storms out over the ocean. They're a sight to see.
People are going to freak out when they see what's coming...
Why Chimaera does note have masternodes? It would be better to pay nodes because they will need to store huge data
Then again, why pay for data when you have a system that can manage it far cheaper?
I'd recommend that you read @domob's paper here:

When bounty will be distributed to participatns, namely twitter bounty?
It is logical that this will happen after the end of the ico, which has not even started yet. I don't think that's going to happen soon.
We're working on the bounty campaign now.
It's going to be a tad slow as we need to evaluate every article submission. In order to do that, we need to give each one a good read/watch.
If you're just in on the Twitter campaign, this will be annoying. However, you should take comfort in the fact that we're taking the time to do this properly and fairly for people. We absolutely appreciate everyone's efforts, and we need to ensure that those efforts are properly evaluated and rewarded.
