how does this differ from the hive project? seems like you guys are further along just wondering what really sets you apart?
The difference is that Hive is a direct copy of PPT, but Hive has 0 code behind it.
You are right Hive is still in ICO phase and has no working prototype till this point but on other side PPT is going to release alpha version which is really great achievement for this community. No PPT will remain pioneer project and will lead the market.
