Does anyone remember this gem from a fortnight ago? I questioned the appropriateness of dev announcing that an announcement would take place to pump price. Well it got a mini pump, nothing much. Where was the planned announcement in a week's time? Nada. We got an announcement on the 26th that MTP was being tested (hang on, didn't we get that announcement like a two months before that). Hang on, there is news - it's going to be released in another month and a half.
I don't mind guys here wanting to make a quick buck lying to pump. Like the guy who posted just before me who said MTP has performed well in the recent altcoin slump - what a lie, it's gone down from $19 to $10.50, that's certainly a bigger drop than the about 20% drop of the market as a whole. But I get those guys, they want the price to pump. I want it to pump too, by the way, but I don't think me saying silly lies is going to get that to happen.
I don't particularly like dev communications guy making inappropriate announcements of announcements that turn out to be fairly misleading, because I fear there might be a similar pump motive. My brain scanner isn't working right now, so I can't determinatively look into his brain and reveal his certain motive. But we all know how this game works, I don't like it.
Zcoin has underperformed because a lot of the announcements and promises turned out to be promising more and delivering less. Wonderful we've got a new wallet. Oh wait, it doesn't work. (Thank God for Coinomi, hope you're all using it, that's the only genuine concrete bit of good news for Zcoin). Zcoin ain't going to pump until incentivised nodes are brought in and done right. Then it MIGHT pump.
And like you, I want it to.
We will be making an announcement in roughly a week's time
Anyway you can always follow our github (and its various branches) to see what we are working on.
Tell me, how does it feel to imagine yourself Nostradamus? No, really, what is your intention? Whom you try to convince here to sell out?
I really wait that time to come, when every advice/speculation will cause financial responsibility for advisor/speculator!
On topic, I prefer ZCoin have production release on mid/end August, when all uncertainty will be settled, nowadays, there is no point to expect pump.
No, really, if you so unhappy with this coin, why are you wasting time here? I think we have grown up people that can make their decision, you are not saving the world here, trust me.
