Development on the mixing service continues. The beta signup post was not meant to imply that it is near completion, but rather to preemptively collect a list of interested individuals, as well as to spark interest among new people in the coin itself.
I pop on here and the official forum from time to time, but that is just to check up and make sure the network is running properly. If you folks want daily updates, there isn't much for me to say. I'm just living my life and working on this when I have the spare time. It's really not that interesting. My time is limited, so I don't have the availability to do daily Q&A sessions on here and respond to some of the long messages that I receive.
There's been some talk of others wanting to implement their own mixing service. If you think you can beat me to the punch, and that your finished product is of sufficient quality, feel free to go for it. I won't take offense, and your code will be implemented into the main branch. I would share what I have completed so far, but that would not be wise, as it could get into the hands of a competitor coin. Our development paths will have to remain separate.
1:glad to hear your alive
2:nobody expects daily updates, only the occasional "hey guys, things are in progress" updates
3 Dont dismiss the "long" messages you receive, some are substantive. They offer insight/solutions as to what is going on.
4: Talk of alternative mixing service has been under the assumption you went away. If you are not, dont worry, we will stand by and let you work your magic.
5: work with "touma" from stable coin forum. he had a good proposal which he posted. You have to let the community know whats up every once in a while, even if things are goings slow, doesnt matter
6: glad to hear you're alive
7: glad to hear you're alive...........
This, this and this.
Artos, I hope you didn't take my post about a fork as being overly dramatic or fear-mongering. I really was expecting the worst given your previous absence, and you posting here now has not only very much reassured me, but I'm sure a good many. Thanks for taking the time to do it!
I wouldn't ask for nor expect daily updates, I know how working hard and having a life take enough time on their own two fronts, but try to check in once a week and not be a stranger for all our sakes, ok? That seems pretty reasonable, no?
I'm just happy to know your still working on it. I'll continue toying on the side, but as long as you are still working on this coin, it's your baby, not mine. I'll make a pull request at best, no way I'm going to try to fork your coin while you are still around.
