Agree 100%. PoS needs to be fixed, and it is what CC is working on right now!   Regarding "plenty of time", he had personal problems for many months and just recently he was able to continue working on it again. As far as I can see, there has been constant development since then, and he's also showing up on Discord periodically.

Discord is similar to Slack, except that it is made for open communities instead of business teams. It's a chat system that has different channels for general discussion, dev discussion, wallet support etc.. It is linked in the ANN post.

It's just strange when these questions get asked over and over again, and very often I'm the one who is answering it...   It makes me wonder why people expect to be kept up to date, but don't do anything to stay up to date themselves...   I've created an FAQ some months ago when we faced similar problems, maybe I should revive it again!
