You may see a release in approximately 1 month. I am in discussions right now with my co-developer. We may have an announcement as early as tomorrow. We are still nailing down the issues. I just discovered this new technology breakthrough in the past 24 hours. I need a bit more time to make sure it is correct. But so far, my co-developer and I both already think it is correct.
Note when I write "co-developer" I actually mean that someone I collaborate with on ideas and who is independent of me. And if this this new plan proceeds, I will just be the contract programmer and the technical lead, but not the entity who is launching the coin. Any way, more details to follow once discussions are completed.
P.S. we are thinking of forking Bitcoin 0.12 and making the modifications for anonymity on that. And then we will add the advances I want for my ultimate coin in stages.
