(1) "Near completion" means months, if ever, with those guys.
As the project manager of the cpmt, I concede that there are aspects of SuperNET which have taken longer to reach delivery than others, but mostly due to further innovation resulting in code refactoring being performed which has served to delay things but, in our defense, I would like to mention that the cpmt delivered the v1 GUI within the 12-week allocation for it. So it isn't that SuperNET can't deliver on schedule, it is more a fact that newer tech and methodologies are invented on the fly and cause the original delivery schedule to slip.
This is a world away from allegations of 'if ever'.
I can also attest, as you could yourself were you to join the SuperNET Slack channels, that things genuinely are making great strides of progress over there.
(2) BITS are not traded on iDEX... a special token called superBITS (a NXT asset) is. This is rarely made clear.
The spreads for superBITS will be huge unless these tokens attract 100s of day traders = very unlikely.
Agreed about the limited exposure of the current superBITS AE token, but, as Eth has explained, while iDEX will employ the use of Asset-Exchange-coin-tokens for the purposes of the back-end of the trade, the front end starts and finishes with the actual coins being transferred from trader to trader.
(3) All of NXT has 200-300 users. How many of those will trade superBITS tokens? 3? 5? 10?
This has already been answered by Eth and the previous answer I give here.
(4) There has never been a decentralized crypto exchange with liquidity.
There has never been a practically useable decentralised crypto exchange. BTW, if you know of any expert API Documentation technical authors, please let us know, there is a bounty currently offered for writing up the iDEX API docs so we can broaden the iDEX user-base rapidly, as soon as it is ready for wider testing. There are some crypto heavyweights looking to utilise iDEX in a big way once it proves itself viable, that's where the liquidity will be found.
(5) Only someone who has been shot-gunning SuperNET Koolaid would delist from Bittrex.
I didn't say to consider delisting now, I said it would be worth considering for when iDEX is fully functional.
I do understand the tendency for pessimism when it comes to cryptocurrency projects delivering, but beyond the need for us to accept the realities of the patience required in bringing these concepts to RL, where there are tangible developments actually occurring we need not be quite so despondent.
