All these updates were planned in the first roadmap over a year ago. It required a 30BTC funding from the community (then worth less than $ 30k).
Today the DEV (the dictator not actually doing anything substantial, not the South African doing all the underpriced work) sits on a big stack of community funds of over 650 BTC (worth over $ 4 million!!)
Yet still, no real product based on the promises made over a year ago are finished.
So, I made a minor correction in your post above.
You're welcome
The South African DEV has been offered to work for other big named coins but he turned it down, only reason I can guess is he hates marketing or the spotlight? This works well for Rijk as he doesn't do any marketing and dev doesn't have to be concerned with Gulden becoming popular.
