Did they specify september 2012?

 Roll Eyes

The way the English language tends to work is if someone says something like "In September" and they say that in August, or earlier, then it is assumed they mean the September coming up, not the one next year or at some other point in time in the future.  Only if they mean some other September other than the one immediately coming up would they need to be more specific.   Unless Gavin is playing childish word games, like Matthew did to get out of his bet...  And I don't think he is, do you?  

And if you have read Gavin's words in this thread and elsewhere you should see that he regrets saying what he did and having it getting blown out of proportion like this... so settle down ffs and move on.   Cheesy   There isn't going to be some earth shaking revelation coming in the near future in regard to Bitcoin.    

I'm sure Gavin and the team is working on releasing some new key features to their client.

Good software takes time

That's the announcement ... Tongue

edit: Bitcoin version 0.7.0 ... running out of beta numbers  1.0.0 is coming out soon Cheesy

still, it could have been, but got revoked or disappeared somehow.

that's the downside of making announcements for upcoming announcements!

What do you guys think about this:

Creating a secure payment protocol so I can tell people "send payment to [email protected]" and be confident that I'll get the coins is very high on my priority list.
There will be squatters with addresses like gavinandressen@clearcion.com. I hope there is parity checking in this protocol.

Even if not delayed this thread has so raised people's expectations that anything short of a government accepting Bitcoin for paying tax is going to be a disappointment. Whatever Gavin comes up with is bound to be met with lots of "oh, that's all?".

Ahh, yes, the Segway effect.
