Why are people taking Neo seriously, when there's only one active developer on GitHub? Really, only one, not even two.
And please don't tell me that they're working in a private repository, or some repository used only by Chinese people, which you can't link to.
I'm honestly curious about this. You would have thought that after raising so much money, they'd use it to create a working wallet, some apps and whatever else is needed.
This was Da Hongfei's answer to this question in the Reddit AMA from the end of July:
There are about half a dozen full-time developers here in Shanghai, among them two are core developers. We dont need tens of people doing protocol level development. Other than that, there are a few dozens more contributing code and ideas as community members, some of them are Onchain DNA developers. Besides we have a few academic researchers serving as technical advisors. By saying Core developer, we mean who has commit permission on GitHub. Bitcoin has 15 core developers as of today.
He has also stated that they deliberately use a very high threshold for defining a 'core developer'; i.e., more of the NEO devs would be listed as 'core' on another coin. But, for example, the City of Zion developer community is actively developing for NEO, yet they aren't considered 'core' NEO devs.
I'm not arguing for or against this approach; just relaying facts.
