I think it is about time the Pandacoin had the "great reveal". There's nothing to worry about from other coins; they're pretty much all dead, dying or obvious scams. They don't have the organization, funding or community to pull off anything big anymore. I think Paycoin will have been the final big scam: anyone who goes into a new coin after that would have to a bloody lunatic. Bitcoin's ongoing demise is flushing the turds down the loo. New money isn't flowing into crypto anymore; the same BTC is passing from coin to coin loosing value all the time. Pandacoin has a chance to slip out of that mess and be one of the few surivors when the dust clears. But to do so the developers need to stir themselves a bit and actually do something. The past was grand but now is now. Wallet updates and the like don't count. There's been no reach out to the real world/general public whatsoever. Only the usual wankers on Bitcointalk (and it seems a few odd Romanians) have ever even heard of PND. See how that fellow IconicExpert has put innovation after innovation into dying Bytecent. It doesn't seem to matter as his reputation is radioactive and he's fiddled the mining in his favor but IE has the right idea at least in terms of how to push and grow a business if not the ethics to do so.
What's next on the road map? Do we even have a real road map?
Yeah, the devs have a roadmap, they've always had. It's internal tho. They release just as much as they fell comfortable with.
bdanyo explained most of it back in the days, it's a very competitive market, so there's justified concern that other coins may steal the ideas.
I'm not sure what's next, but I feel that the latest patch went a little overlooked.
