Posting here for anyone not in slack where main communication happens
"@channel Hey everybody, thank you for remaining patient in light of the lack of
communication or reports of progress. I regret to inform you that as of now,
I will no longer be able to dedicate as significant of an amount of time to the
ATOMIC project. As many of you know, I have run into trouble with a programmer
who was hired to complete a large and complex segment of the ATOMIC-DAC
project's backend code. I believe that this individual is absolutely the best
match for the project, he has proven himself in terms of his programming /
computer science skill, and has released large and popular open source c++
projects in the past. This project became too much of a challenge to be
completed in any kind of timely manner with only a few developers.
This doesn't mean that the project is completely dead, although I can absolutely
understand that this looks like giving up. I have to eat, so I need to work
on other things now. People have been understandably getting more and more
frustrated with me, or with the project not being finished, and you deserve not
to be confused about what is going to happen. I can't let people wait any longer
without a clear answer. As I am unable to provide you with a release date, I
will provide you with the truth of the situation. I do not know if/when the
programmer will ever finish the code, and I know that without him finishing his
part of the code, what I have so far will not be good enough to live up to my
standards and be released. I know that I have no money to hire anyone else, and
nobody has offered to help work on the code of the project. I know that interest
in the market from the cryptocurrency community is not enough to support the
project (it hasn't been since the initial fund raising we did). I know that a lot
of the code is done. It is possible still, that we will be able to release this
project to the community, but I don't know when or if that is going to happen.
I will post here and on my website if I have any other news.Sorry,
~CryptAxe"
