I understand the reasons that you're asking for 1.4. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with asking. They are good reasons to ask IMO.
But you're mistaking "promises" for "projected times of completion" and then you're not really "asking" you're "demanding" because there is an expectation that you will receive an answer to your requests. I cannot stress enough that these things aren't owed to you. You made good points simply by posing the questions. But you're evading the fact that this has become personal. Because you've moved away from simple inquisition to personally challenging jbg's character I question that validity of your research. You've stepped beyond "informing the community" into a realm that self prescribes importance beyond that of a concerned member of the crypto community.
Yes, because, as I already explained to you, now after more than a month my doubts are becoming certainty, and I will not go easy with a potential scammer. Again I cannot force anyone to answer me, but I am free to keep doing the questions as much as I like. Again, if you think I am not genuine and don't agree with my methods: I don't care. I am trying to debunk a potential scammer and it's not an easy task and I'll do it the way I think is right. I think you don't understand how difficult this thing is. jbg is reading all my moves online, I am open and public. And he's hiding everything and answers when he wants, can just say random words and everyone in the community believes them. I need to back up every single thing with facts.
An example:
- mid Feb says he's going to finish 1.4 in time
- he disappears for 10 days
- comes back early March and says he need 24h/48h to assess
- after more than 48h, he says release it's not imminent
- yesterday he makes an announcement and at the end says there will be an announcement for 1.4. An announcement of an announcement.
No one questioned him.
Would you believe me if I didn't keep the screenshots, which luckily I took a month ago? Of course you wouldn't.
jbg has shown repeatedly that he is not capable of setting realistic deadlines. In this case an unexpected life event resulted in the delay. Since he is the only coder... if he stops working the entire project is delayed. Doubling or tripling his completion time (which is the common tactic used for projects) would have alleviated this problem all together and hopefully he'll learn from that mistake this time. Piecing together a time-line of why he is late involves delving into his personal life which I think we both agree SHOULDN'T be on display. But also jbg hasn't released commits from the beginning. He's always released the entire package when he was finished with it
You can see it as he's a bad project manager, or that he's lying to people, so a potential scammer. I am more in favor of the latter.
The fact he has released the entire package when he has finished is just not true. It's something you heard around. The github history shows he worked incrementally
the only time he worked, that is December / January. In all other months (Jun-Dec, Feb-Mar, 7 months!) there is not tangible work, a part of a week or so in September.
I don't understand what Brycel has to do with jbg. If you have a problem with Brycel's work (which is the cryptographic portion of the code I believe) that is something you should take up with Brycel who was hired personally by Mandica and is not active in the community. It's okay to be upset about that, or question that, but I don't think that is okay to hold over jbg.
My point is that jbg made Bryce(l) up. There is no Bryce(l) which I can contact. The only proof for this is to see his 6 months worth of software development, anything else is pointless discussion. Anyone genuine would try to shed some light, jbg is not.
I also don't understand what the problem is with an exchange holding that many coins nor do I see how an exchange address being tied to a wallet with 1M coins is relevant. It seems normal to me that these things would be connected but this is a highly speculative correlation you are trying to make here IMO.
A scammer would have many coins, would keep saying BS to people, and then would dump their coins. Big addresses are moving now and there are whales dumping already. Make your self some questions.
You want to see 1.4 right now even though he says it's not finished?
Of course. He has done so already during December/January. Just look at the commits in github. This will prove also again that he's not working full time as he says. Ask your self why he hasn't done an action which takes 2 seconds after a month and a half after promising it.
