Hello All,
It has been a while since I addressed you myself, and I apologize for that. We have been busy with trying to figure out the best path forward, utilizing a codebase that has significant issues. We decided on the best course of action for us, to be able to complete the roadmap. We know we are behind on the roadmap, unfortunately, the delegate issues have consumed the time that we were originally going to use for the additional feature sets.
Right now, I am working on a revised technical architecture to supplement the revised white paper. Richard is working on building out the initial functions for the new codebase, and Nathan is working to rebuild the database architecture into Mongo, instead of Postgres, as we originally wanted. We will maintain API compatibility as best we can, so the current SDKs will not have been wasted work.
The new codebase will be using technologies designed around JSON and SockJS to transfer data in realtime between nodes. We will be separating duties for the nodes, so an API Node can't be a delegate node, and a delegate node can't be an API node or a wallet node. This will allow us to scale with greater precision than we can now. We are also going to continue diligently watching potential security holes, and making sure our third party packages that are in use are secure.
This is the best path forward, and with our ICO being all about the features we wanted to provide, this is the way we can achieve that goal.
Thanks All!
Justin R. Donnaruma
Hey Justin,
First let me say that I am really pleased to see you post in this thread. Things have really been getting out of hand. I hope that from now on you could spend like 10-20 minutes a day to giving constructive feedback and updates on this forum.
Please do not go into any arguments with scam accusations, this is useless. Please do react to people concerned about the actual project, but only those who do so in a civilized manner.
In the upcoming days I hope to be one of these persons.
Thank you for the encouragement, it is much appreciated.
I will do my best to be available a couple of times a day to post on this forum, but please keep in mind that developing from scratch is going to be a fairly slow process, and I will not have much new on a daily basis. New development announcements will be made on a weekly basis, as we finish off new technical specifications and functionality, and we will especially be responsive to feedback once a new prototype is live.
Nathan pushed some initial database builds to the "meteor" branch of the repository on Github, and I'm going to make sure he pushed even partially finished work over the coming months on a daily basis, so those who like to see code updates see them.
I do ask that we do not get questions on incomplete code, as it is uncertain what state the branch will be in at the end of any one day, since it will basically reflect the last thoughts of my developers towards the end of the day, and not finalized functions. Once we have a prototype, the master branch will be kept updated with stable code, where all functions that are in that branch are working and stable (or at least, as stable as possible)
