This project should take the Ethereum's flag since DAO was a failure, Augur has everything, good but not excessive funding, very long time of development and a good idea that is needed in the world.
I don't know...I don't think they're really working on the project anymore. The last thing I heard was that the guy who created the truthcoin concept that Augur is based upon quit being an adviser and declared the project a failure. It's almost been a year and they've had 5 million dollars to work with....I'm pretty sure this project was just over marketed....I don't think they can build the platform they claimed they could build....not even with 5 million dollars.
