Someone from SWIFT community asked to come here to make a few statements re:blocknet progression.
I obviously can not release all information without the Blocknet foundations approval so please excuse my statements if they seem "brief".
Progress within Blocknet :
-Blocknet is in the process of ensuring it complies legally for business interactions in the real world. This can take time, you must understand that running a business in legal form is much different than running a hobby coin for btctalk users. There are a lot of things to consider when you join crypto networks into the business world. Ensuring we have a legal framework is priority #1.
-Meetings are held regularly between the blocknet members. We are working behind the scenes to decide on best practices for the foundation and its future members.
-Development is ongoing, technology is being discussed, ideas are being shared and progress is being made.
-Blocknet funds and multi sig options are being finalized.
Not sure what else I can say here without giving away to much information. Please realize that blocknet is being run like a corporation, it involves many people from outside and inside our networks. Massive Corporations are not built overnight.

Good things take time, remember this.

this is not realistic is it?
blocknets main coin XC is based upon anon transactions, this will never be acceptable in the "real world" "legally".
let's just get cracking with some real action and bring on board some better coins before blocknet is over taken by similar projects.
The decentralised exchange is something that could make block and xc more relevant again.
I would say that there is no "main" coin in blocknet - it is a collective of coins who wish to participate with each other for the better of blockchain tech. I would also say that XC being anon is just one small aspect of XC, the real gravy is where and how the anon is being accomplished - and how that tech can be used in other ways and applied into the real world. Multipath and node rewards are no joke, the concepts can be extended and applied to other devices. It opens the doors to stuff like this : http://bbcr.uwaterloo.ca/~mmabdels/data/PIS.pdf

Yep, what he said.
