can't wait for February newsletter and postpone to March
February or else this is just the most elaborate crypto scam I've seen yet. At least I own one of the t-shirts for it. Might as well get one with Mark Karpeles' face on it next.
It's surely not a scam but they look a bit afraid to release Nem and see it eventually fail or "not doing so well" imo by postponing forever for whatever reason, that tiny amount of 144 stakes on nxt ae on a ridiculous volume is confortable but is no real price indicator compared to open exchange with volume, price manipulation etc within a hard crypto context...9 billions coins is a lot ffs.
i understand what they're doing, polishing a product to make it irreproachable, but extreme perfectionism is a bi*tch, hope we don't lose momentum and interest.
Afaic i'm disappointed mainly because Alpha state looked so advanced already this summer and now we're stuck with a postpone-fest launch date 6 months later with almost no "objective" progress for the not-so-techy.
I just hope we don't end up launching in the same time than Ethereum, nobody wants to release a movie during the same weeks than a Star Wars blockbuster haha
HOPEFULLY YOU WILL ALL LAUGH AT ME IN FEBRUARY
Functional Beta client, successful distribution with quite elaborate and clever taint analysis, work being done on multisig functionality plus many other projects and idea's in the pipeline.
I think it's safe to say this is not a scam
.Perfectionism to an extent is actually pretty important. Unless NEM is rock solid, it won't be an effective currency/platform/economy, it will crash and it will burn.
With this in mind, i'd sooner they take their time developing NEM then rushing it out and seeing it collapse just because a few individuals wanted to cash out/cash in FIAT. Where all their hard work thus far would've gone to waste - this would be really devastating to see, not only because they've worked hard on it, but because NEM does hold great promise.
It's done when it's done. I think all the NEM devs need to do is just keep people informed of progress (Newsletters are very much appreciated by me, let me tell you), there's no need for solid dates untill they can be absolutely certain a solid date can be maintained.
