...(Even though I am (apparently) no longer "on" the Tau project.)...
What is the status with him?
his status is up to him. he's welcome to collaborate on tau as much as he wants, and was always so.
Well, the very short form explanation is that nobody on the project except Ohad believes either that there is any problem with the originally planned design, or that his new plan is even suitable to construct a "useful" tau. During discussion of our concerns, Ohad "went off" on the most active developer (stoopkid) and kicked him off of the project. Every other member of the "team" (including myself) then basically stopped development and effectively left the project. This means that Ohad has now effectively lost his second team entirely, and is once again on his project alone.
To my knowledge, in the time (months) since, no new development has occurred.
I still keep my commitment to Ohad to attempt to verify any implementation which he brings forward.
I'm also still happy to explain the original design premise to anyone who would like to know about it.
Hello HMC I can see that Ohad put recently a detailed blog post on why he thinks that the old model for tau will not be working for what tau is meant to be in here:
http://www.idni.org/blogCan you clarify which part of this post you do not agree on so that maybe you can have a public discussion with Ohad about this? I hope that a public discussion on the ideas and concept is welcomed and can benefit Tau design at the end.
As an Investor I always have seen ohad very open to feedbacks. Since I know you have contributed since the begenning of this project I would like to hear your opinion on why do you think Ohad is making a mistake based on a critique of the article above.
Thank you.
