Interesting! I thougt of something similiar but exactly the other way around. The reason why I think that this is very unlikely is the following. Compare the posts of verymuchso (Dennis de Klerk) and Eliphaz Fimk (The other guy). Here are two examples:
It's been awhile since my last post.
I've been working on HEAT probably like I've never worked for something in my life before.
I guess I can just focus better and get more done by shutting out any and all distractions - which unfortunately at this time (with the current amount of tasks) also includes this forum.
Apart from the work for HEAT directly I've also been working on getting side projects up and running that built on-top of HEAT and are set to be used by our Heat Ledger Ltd joint venture partners.
The HEAT code base now consists of 3 very large projects already which have been completed in large part this last month.
More recently we've worked our asses off for the HEAT ICO redemption part of the HEAT wallet online but unfortunately could not get it to work by tonight, I simply need a couple more days.
I'm sorry for that and I apologize for anyone who was counting on this to be ready today.
What we can release within the next few days along with the ICO redemption is no small thing either, it's actually the bulk of the core of the HEAT open source trinity, which is made up of:
- Heat Testnet
- The server (the real-time, internet scale window into the ledger)
- The client (the generic real-time, ready for mobile client framework that does everything from browser cryptography to real-time updates)
We do everything we can to get stuff online on Tuesday. I'm pretty exhausted and need rest now.
I am curious why he needs to be "in the mood" to give an update?
Because otherwise he won't give one of course. He's a coder and genius at that, but not very adept in handling public relations. Just like me, but even worse

Investors donated over $1 million dollars worth of crypto to the project.
I must slightly correct that statement, as investors usually don't donate - they invest or as in the case of HEAT, they
purchased pre-launch tokens. The amount definitely was nowhere near $1 million dollars worth of crypto. The amount is difficult to calculate because of high volatility and oftentimes lacking liquidity as in the case of FIMK. Using current, realized rates the amount raised in the first funding round of Heat Ledger Ltd lands somewhere between $300k and $400k - in motion as the value of the crypto holdings fluctuate and even surprises such as extra grant of Byteballs happen.
Don't you think they deserve to at least know the status of dev?
Of course I do, that's why I stepped in to describe what I know. I'm not coder, and I'm not Dennis, so I can't write on behalf of him about the technical details involved in the last few weeks' development. He'll do that himself.
Yes i too would like to know what is happening.
What's happening is development, mixed with family handling and holiday season to put it frankly.
Is Dennis working or is he sick?
FWIK he's been working part time during the Christmas days, taking care of family where possible, the exact same that I've been doing myself. If you have a family to take care of, you'd know there are quite a few modes of existence between being sick and working 24/7 month after month

What is with the no progress in GitHub?
The code is on company premises where development happens, and needs to be cleaned before being deployed to Github. Also the server code needs to be edited or mostly removed from the public release because we're not going open source at launch time because of the obvious hazards of losing IPR and competitive advantage just like that. Client and some important parts will be open sourced, however there hasn't been reason to do that yet as HEAT core development is ongoing.
Are they serious about this project
Of course we are. It needs to be reminded HEAT is a fintech business project, involving a lot of aspects that most crypto-only coins aren't bothered with in the slightest. Thus the execution of our business is also different from what you're used to - causing the delays in the first place as everything needs to be coordinated from technical features, applications and extending to the readiness to support partnership setups.
now six months later we have nothing and no communication...
Six months - it's of little use to exaggerate, more like 4 and half months. No communication - I don't get that part but note taken
Whats the deal guys tell us frankly what is happening
I hope I answered that to your satisfaction. Normal life and development, so nothing spectacular there to grow FUD on.
I will wait until the end of february. Then I am going to look for the responsible people personally.
We're here and we're responsible whenever you'd like to have a chat f2f about which part of the company's crypto funding round you might have misunderstood, or any other similar issue there may be.
Notice something? Eliphaz Fimk is an arrogant piece of shit that does not even think about apologizing for anything, while Dennis is not! Dennis seems to be very sorry for the delay and his statement seems to be more honest! When Eliphaz was confronted with the missed deadline he even said that there was no deadline and that is was an estimation and it was not stated anywhere as a deadline when it was clearly in the ICO page which they changed by now! That is why I think it may be the exact opposite and Eliphaz Fuck is pressuring for an early release. He seems to be able to lie without blinking an eye. Maybe they both planned to pull this scam off. Who knows, this is just speculative... I would like to hear a respond of Dennis. Maybe a reddit AMA? I know this is too much to ask for from somebody who is even unable to respond to anything posted here.
