I'm not sure this is total trolling. With the kind of money raised, they should be much further along by now. Heck coding sidechains is not that hard. Its just a two way peg via burn and injecting new coins when the sidechain confirms reintroduction of the coins (there is more than one way actually) and miners running threads to check a list of pre-approved servers or listen on various ports for whatever the sidechain needs to communicate to the main chain. Of course I'm downplaying the work a bit but it really isn't that much. The user experience and user interface is actually more work. Considering there was already work done in Crypti and "sample code" which was the reason I invested, it is sad to see that there isn't at least 5-10 demo applications! So that is pretty disappointing. How many coders did Max hire? I don't check often so am curious.
A demo app can be drawn up pretty quickly or at least sandbox some code and hire some web devs to make less secure samples only to demo the potential. Sadly time doesn't wait for anyone. Dev if you need advice on how to accomplish your goals let me know via PM. Now I'm sort of wishing I sold at the top now. With that kind of money I could build a small town in Mexico.
Thanks for the insights David !
NOT "insights"... MISINFORMATION and LIES
Open mouth, insert foot.
There ARE "demo" apps, SEVERAL alpha... we tested 5 games in the past few weeks alone and they arrive so fast I cannot keep up.
One only need open your damned eyes to see them.

Just "seek and you shall find."
Quote from GOT: "Being Lord Commander means being second-guessed by every clever little twat with a mouth"
Wow you are being a complete asshole. I'm not lying I hardly check this thread. I spend 8-12 hours a day coding BitHalo/BlackHalo and Bitbay which is a helluva lot further along than most projects with teams and big funding. Unbreakable contracts, decentralized markets and like 100 other little features. And i had a prototype years before ETH. And I code alone without funding (nor do I seek it)
So I don't have time to check every detail of why a project isn't doing well. I came here, read comments, saw the same complaints I saw months ago and expressed my opinion. Did Max code the demo apps? If so great! Thanks for pointing that out. But your attitude is warped.
All I asked was how many coders did he hire? One year is a lot of time he got millions so I was curious. A simple answer would have sufficed, not a melee of bullshit.
But you start attacking me looking for an argument. I even said if Max needed advice to go ahead and PM me.
But if this thread is going to be toxic I will never comment here again. In fact yeah I'm outta here. Enjoy. Have fun looking for someone else to argue with, some of us have jobs, ha-ha.
While your intentions may have been genuine, the post came off initiating the rude posture because you post contains total bullshit, and after repelling so many trolls spreading misinformation, it becomes quite annoying.
If you don't want snapped at, stop posting things you know nothing about, or at least take 30 seconds to investigate.
It would have taken less time to find out your assumptions were wrong than writing that post.
With that said, I apologise if I offended you.
Also, Max & team are ALWAYS open to the community for help. (Oliver "Karmacoma" on git is the lead Developer) Simply just visit github(like any dev would)... or lisk.chat... or any community meeting...
HQ generally doesn't hang here. (wish it was different)
Max is still seeking good devs... (6 or 7 more I think?) if you are seriously good with JS, you should consider it.
