Hi Dev,

Long time reader, first time poster!

I'd firstly like to say thanks for having the vision to create a coin such as Verge. It has a great feature set and looking at the road map it's only going from strength to strength. Compared to it's rivals it certainly seems to be able to punch above its weight and will hopefully find it's place among the better altcoins out there (maybe even become a coin in it's own right instead of an alt, who knows). So thanks for your hard work!

I have a couple of questions that I was hoping you might be able to take the time to answer for me...

1. It seems as though you are a bit of a one man band when it comes to developing Verge. Is that the case? Or are there other Devs that just don't get let out of the dev dungeon long enough to be able to post here? I guess if you are on your own there are good and bad sides to that. Good in that you can take the coin where you want it to go, no need to have arguments about what direction to take! Bad in that you have to do all the work, there's no one to hand jobs off to so your life can be a bit easier. Also if you become ill or something happens to you (God forbid) then the coin may grind to a halt. I guess it would be nice to have someone to share the glory with?

2. Regarding RSK smart contracts... The road map says July based on Bitcoin testing. Can you elaborate on that a bit? As in is it a technical limitation that you need to have the smart contracts enabled on BTC before you can then add them to Verge? Or is it more of a time constraint that RSK are busy testing with BTC atm, and once they are done with that, they can then help you with your implementation of smart contracts into Verge?

3. Do you have an end goal for Verge? Where do you see it in 5 years time? At what stage would you think that you could stand back and say "I have achieved what I wanted to when I started out with Verge"? I realise that these questions may be harder to answer than the first few, but all the same I'd like to know so I thought I would ask!

Thanks in advance for any answers you may want to share, I know your time is busy. And thanks again for your hard work, I'm sure you wouldn't get told that enough so feel free to give yourself a pat on the back!

Cheers,

Fuz.
