Yeah, those guys on Slack are nothing but trolls. Take what they say with a grain of salt. I don't know any of those user names, but none of them are with the developer team.
To be fair, Robinhood does have beta access, so his info may come from there. If he isn't trolling, of course.
on Slack: Jani, Yan and Egidijus are from Iconomi team.
Remark: Slack is not Iconomi's official channel of communication
