Since good news push Monero price down, bad news push it up. Jaxx announced their second delay with their Monero integration and moved it for another 2 weeks.
Apparently 90% of their resource need 2 months for Monero while few days for other coins.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/5cks6f/jaxx_monero_integration_update/Hey Monero Community, Anthony from Jaxx here.
I wanted to take this time to provide another update on the progress of our Monero integration.
We targeted early November for the release... but failed. We hate not making our timing targets, it really sucks. Learning from the experiences, working towards better estimations, and hitting projections is something we'll consistently improve on. That being said, Monero integration has been a bitch. We're breaking new grounds here as we work to (and will) deliver a means for you to manage / send / receive XMR on 9 platforms with you in control of the keys... all done via a single backup phrase that can be used to derive the keys to all your digital currencies. You will also be able to buy / sell XMR directly in Jaxx via Shapeshift.
Here's where we stand on the integration. Fernando & Augusto (two of out token integration leads) have spent 80 hours doing the initial research, gaining an understanding of Monero transactions and developing the Monero client-side library. Fluffypony has been a great help and we truly thank him for his assistance. The library is 90% complete and should be ready this Monday. Because we missed our launch target, we decided to increase our Monero dev efforts and have reassigned resources to work on the required back-end infrastructure that can start as the library comes to completion. This part of the project is expected to take 40 hours (5 days) and will be worked on by another integration team member Ismael. Concurrently, Augusto will be working on general integration (expected 3 days), and also be responsible for testing and bug-fixing the back-end (expected 2 days). Once Augusto and Fernando have completed their work, it all gets sent to our CTO Chris and her front / middle (end) team for final tie-ins and implementation into Jaxx. This usually takes 1-2 days. Monero UI / UX assets have already been competed by Rahul and are waiting to be integrated by Chris' team. When this is all completed, it can be packaged, tested, and we can hit the release button.
The new estimated release date is the week of November 21st. I'll be pushing our entire team towards making the target. Please know that Monero is receiving 90% of our token integration resources and it is the priority for us. If it made sense to put 100% on the project we would, however, somethings just can't be moved faster with more resources due to required linear processes.
I'll ensure to keep everyone updated over the next many days.
Cheers!
Anthony Diiorio
Price is almost as it was before their announcement in October.
