I won't be giving a date for release, alot of work has gone into planning the business, APP and backend management system of the parking tickets and this is still ongoing as things need to be adapted along the way.
The initial APP (the one shown on Youtube) was written using phonegap/cordova, which is now pretty much obsolete as the project has moved along.
While planning and thinking things over I decided it would be best to have it integrated into a generic wallet with multiple coins and a shapeshift exchange. This was the reason for using the Coinomi Wallet, which uses Android Studio instead of Phonegap.
There are many hurdles involved in this process and it won't be rushed. This project does need to deal with and meet, any and all legal requirements such as licensing of code for commercial use.
I am in talks with Coinomi about relicensing their wallet for commericial use and today I incorporated a company in the UK that will now manage all the development work etc. - ParkByte Limited - Company Reg Number: 09739667 - Registered Company Address: ParkByte Limited, 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, UNITED KINGDOM.
At the moment I am the only shareholder/director in this company, but I am considering releasing some equity to raise some funding in the near future.
I know you would like things to be released quickly in order to keep and get new interest in PKB to push the price up but for this project to be a success I cannot allow it to be rushed without sufficient detailed planning for the end product.
As for potential Parking Companies, I have had some initial interest but I cannot go into much more detail than that. This information needs to be handled very sensitively and I wouldn't want to announce some partnerships before they are set in stone only to have to backtrack at a later date.
Please remember I do have a day job, granted I work for myself but I do still have bills to pay and work to do. To date I haven't withdrawn a single satoshi from PKB and have put alot of time and money into PKB over the past 3 months since launch to where it is now.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear but I am just being very honest. I shall keep you all updated
