bad things happen.
things get delayed.
It's funny how people have different perspectives on this.
I'm a software developer.
When I heard he was delaying the launch I thought GOOD ONE !
It was too good to be true that a beta test go off like clockwork with no problems and issues to be gone back to think about and recode. It was sounding to start a bit unreal.
But now that this delay has been announced I feel comfortable again that there's something real going on here. Ironically that's put me back in the market for more coin. Stuck an order in at 48 and got it filled.
In addition to that, from a technical perspective (as opposed to price which is meaningless at this stage in a project like this) you've got:
[1] - the developer being transparent and having the bottle to come on here un-anonymously and participate in often adversarial exchanges
[2] - the fact that they are full-time employed by this project and
[3] - the fact that he's announced (albeit informally) that ring signatures are on the roadmap
This coin's got it all for me, at least as far as any crypto project could have at this stage in the game. I don't see what else they could be doing.
