Re: NEM Official Thread - Redemption extended[Updates&Discussion]
We will launch when we are ready. The question is, will YOU be ready? 
I'm definitely ready for POI, I really hope it's more than a sloppy add on to POS, it could be a serious breakthrough in crypto.
It's not a sloppy add on but it is an add-on. Of course only functionality-wise. No code from an existing POS implementation was used.
