Promoting and creating a viral effect is important; however I am a conservative person and I believe in supporting this new token with facts rather than best-case scenarios trying to create a hype.
As soon as we get the internal alfa version of SPK with PoSP going, we will be way more active on the promo side of this token.
The work is already advanced: I am hoping for distribution much sooner than that; but until I get a working Alpha version I cannot promise any dates.
I am operating behind the scene; this project is still alive no worries, although operating at a slower pace according to our budget.
Yes, the CBX invested is all kept in escrow, and right now I don't think getting your CBX back will improve anything in the investor's situation. We need to look forward, and never look back

We are working part time at creating SPK, the programmer is telling me we need just the finishing touches for the first draft wallet that we can test.
Evidently, judging by what has been said in previous updates, the Alpha is not yet ready... hence the lack of release date.
The ico funds are still in escrow and still not staking.
There is still no cause for alarm... The updates will come when they have the Alpha.
Nice explanation with details of according events! Personally I don't want to believe this project is dead.
After ICO VopSpass clearly mention the devloments will go slow pece for not having the necessary funding. At the same time there was probable date for complete the alpha! Unfortunately the deadline wasn't achieved.
The reality is delay can happens with any projects.
That doesn't mean the responsible person for project devlopments remain under the hood!
