I did not see there answers to my questions
What exactly do you want to know?
can I find out the end date of the audit?
Is there any experience with the new developer Shbli? what projects did he do before? And what was the deadline for the final version of the new wallet he promised? And what is the price of such work for him? Three months ago Mandica promised full transparency and that we will know all the details. Every week, detailed reports on the work done should be published. But there is no such information. I do not see the answers to my questions, although earlier they promised full transparency.
1. No, there is no end date for the audit yet. We are still negotiating with the auditor and we still have a task to complete,
https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/issues/15 - we need to go through the code, more or less line by line and it may take some time. The purpose of this is to prove that the Zerocoin implementation has been completed properly. There will certainly be updates around this when we have something new.
2. We have worked with Shbli for a few weeks now and he is reliable and hardworking and has excellent C++ skills. He is a top ranked software engineer at Toptal and has coded cryptocurrencies previously. He has no previous experience from any other live crypto-project I am aware of. His main responsibilities have been to replace Qt WebKit and to develop new build processes. These are C++ skills and compiling and is not directly linked to the core functionality of the Spectrecoin wallet.
3. Shbli was hired to work 40 hrs/ week for $3616,- per week, so around $90,- per hour. All out expenses are open for all to see:

5. The best way to stay up to date is through the newsletters,
https://news.spectreproject.io/ - or the progress links on the Discord server. Also, with regards to "But there is no such information" - have a look at GitHub:
https://github.com/spectrecoin/spectre/commits?author=shbli and the commits made. So, to suggest that we are not open and that you can't track progress is nonsense.
Have you ever been to GitHub? This is such a poor attempt at FUD but we are professional so you got your answers.
