yes, you should take the time to post a couple tidbits here every day. Few people want to sit in IRC all day so some news here when they check
in would be a good thing if you people want your support base to grow rather than shrink
I agree with you and apologize for update delays, I have been too tied up and am trying to get back into the public face of things now. As for the 24-48 hour rumors, that was the promise one dev made who left our project, any other supposed "1-2 day" time frames shouldn't have been leaked out to the public. Since we brought in mindfox we have made zero time frame promises, anybody who has heard "24 hours" etc during this past week is not getting that information from me - I've been fully aware mindfox ran a test net in his lab, followed by a live test, and he is even testing again now while the live network is in its POW phase. The panic the other day causing poloniex to freeze was caused by an early leak of a new wallet for us, again I had never announced any time frame when that had happened.
Our website overhaul is almost complete with a forum where I would like to centralize and organize our operations, it's looking absolutely fantastic and I can't thank Wallenstein enough for his efforts. It's been a rough period where I have to balance working to get our projects done quickly and answering to the public, which I am now putting an end to. I have just had a discussion with some of our IRC moderators expressing that during this period where I've been too tied up - communication has broken down. Many things could have been completed during this time frame but it temporarily broke down to "where is the wallet" when in reality we need our community working toward the future that comes after the wallet is released.
Moving forward - I will be making the official announcement when the wallet is done, it is true that we are in final preparation (premining on our new live chain) as of about 6 hours ago. Again, I will post officially here when the wallet is going to roll out, there are no 24-48 hour promises - Only that I will deliver it when it is done.
We have built a wonderful community, and I agree it's time to step up our efforts. I will post status updates at minimum in this thread once daily, communicate in our public IRC and our new forum every day. I'm rounding up information on where our team stands on each individual project so we can create a top down understanding of where we are with everything moving forward. We do have our new wallet in our hands, a nearly complete total overhaul to the website again, a charity project completely arranged and ready to be announced, an overhaul to our reddit theme and a webstore which aren't far from completion.
There will be no more communication breakdowns, I will be here to post the official word as often as possible. I went way out of my way to find a developer with capabilities exceeding mine for the wallet because I wanted to give us something tested and true, mindfox is a professional at his craft, some of the functions he's added to secure our network are quite beyond what I've seen done in the past - I've been studying and working relentlessly on my own to bring my wallet making / maintaining skill up to an advanced level. I felt this was really important and most agree it is, this far surpasses a simple clone wallet; I wanted to ensure when we launch our new wallet everybody's coins are as secure as they can possibly be. To me the delays have been worth it for the product we're getting, however I do agree the poor communication could have been handled far better. Ultimately - It's time to move forward and grow stronger.
Thank you for the update Serious,
now THIS is much more encouraging! Regular updates from the man himself both good and bad inspire confidence
Indeed my friend, we're all human. This is a young project and we've fought hard to build a stable team, which I'm confident we have finally achieved. We've all learned quite a bit over the past few weeks, it would only make sense to strengthen our efforts moving forward rather than looking back and losing steam. We're all still working constantly, all of our promises (including the wallet) will be delivered.
