Dash Foundation member and Masternode "investor" (*cough* Howey test *cough*) getting antsy over the lack of progress on fixing InstantSend:
Roadmap dates already innacurate?https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/roadmap-dates-already-innacurate.17189/So, here we are in October with silence from the Core team. The roadmap was only just updated with dates, which I was holding the team to and thought to be accurate...why is communication and holding to a timeline so difficult for the core team? I am not just talking about this instance, I have been around since 2014.....
Anyone have any updates to where each of the deliverable's below are, there was no information from the conference about any of the below?? did I miss some delay communication?? Should I just reset my expectations that this will be delivered sometime 2018? @Ryan Taylor @UdjinM6 @kot
DashPay Wallet Alpha (September 2017)
Dash version of CoPay, pre-Evolution functions, on test-net
Will lead to full Evolution wallet (not merely a web wallet)
DashCore 12.2 Release (September 2017)
2MB block size increase, activation in November 2017
2MB / 5MB block research documentation
Launch of a read-only/view-only portal for project documentation which will be open to the entire community (to ensure transparency)
Edit: And before people start with the "I would rather have it done properly and wait longer" message, we are paying the Core team to run a multi billion dollar organisation...if you release dates stick to them or communicate accordingly with your board(MNs)/investors.
He's also very upset about the lies and cover-up from the highly compensated full-time "employees" at Dash HQ (*cough* Howey test *cough*).
Stealth923's thread makes it crystal clear that
1. People who purchase Masternodes consider them an investment and themselves investors
2. Dash Masternode investors expect the centralized, all-powerful 'Spork' backdoor key possessing Core Team to mange their investment
3. Dash Masternode investors consider the paid Core Team to be their employees
Those considerations trigger the Howey Test by establishing that Dash is a
de facto unregistered security/investment product.
The thread continues:
I am okay with delays but I am not okay with the lack of updates / feedback. I get the whole secrecy / first-mover-advantage thing, but the prolonged absence of news is very disconcerting. In fact, I was thinking, maybe we should designate a day in October where we de-fund Core for 24 hours, just to send them a message.
LMFAO. Great idea, send Evan home for a day without pay and put a note of Performance Review in his personnel file.
I agree with @GrandMasterDash - a classic example, the wording of the conference was "major integrations announcements"....there wasn't a single announcement, rather vague and ambiguous talk for literally 15 seconds about whats in the pipeline which is signed, but could finish implementation in 6+ months time/be cancelled for all we know. I get the lack of hype, but there needs to be a happy medium rather than just silence and acting like you work for the CIA....
I really hope that a communication coordinator is hired and or Ogilvy sorts their shit out with brand communication, messaging and learning how to professionally SET EXPECTATIONS, because after 3 years it hasnt gotten any better, despite multiple promises from @Ryan Taylor and team. Learn to under promise and over deliver, not the other way around.
Based on this delay as @UdjinM6 has stated, has this also delayed the remainder of the roadmap? because if so, I am going to write off Evolution V1 until 2020+ in which we will most likely be surpassed by another competitor. LMFAO. What a clown fiesta.
Where is the InstantSend hotfix that was supposedly "completed and QA'D" over a month ago? Did it actually exist or was that just hand-waving and more deceptive Dash lies?
Where is the 12.2 testnet? Dash has no hope of getting InstantSend fixed before the holiday shopping season if testing hasn't even started yet.
