This project is dead?  First the multiple delays in when snapshot and token swap will happen.  Then you screw everyone who held their SPR on bittrex waiting for swap.  Now multiple week delay to launch wallet?  Any trust in this project should be gone at this point. 


There were delays because the community demanded and exchange for the snapshot. They announced in advance that Bittrex would not be handling the swap and offered Bittrex Helium for anyone that didn't get the news and held their coins there. They did not promise a date to launch the wallet and make Helium chain go live, they are working on it. These are all signs of a well thought out project, they aren't rushing anything.

When did they offer Helium for anyone who held their coins at Bittrex? I know a few people who asked the founder how to get helium and was told to contact Bittrex and try to get them on board.  After Back and forth with Bittrex they said that they wouldn't be doing anything to swap the coins so we gave up.

The whole time, it was announced they were going to bittrex and in talks with them.  Then all of a sudden 1 week before the airdrop they change to Cryptopia and give no notice except in slack.  They didn't even bother to update the front page of their ANN or anywhere on their website with this info.  So after pushing the airdrop date for months, they announce a diff exchange and the only place that you could find that info was slack. 

So announcing a new exchange for the swap 1 week prior after months of delay is good practice with you?  not having any peep or wallet up weeks later is good practice also? Not even bothering to update their ANN/Website with Swap details also?  You're shilling hard to even suggest that this process was handled well

I got news that it was going to be on Cryptopia from this thread. coins101 made a statement that they are trying to get Bittrex support to swap people that held there accidently, he said the Helium team offered Helium to Bittrex to accommodate them.

Yes he posted it 1 week before swap in this thread and didnt even bother to post in the frontpage.  I'm happy that you were able to do the swap in time, but many of us were not.  

Yes he did offer HLM to Bittrex after the snapshot, but do you seriously think Bittrex is going to sort through thousands of transactions and balances? After the swap, people were moving their balances to Bittrex to dump SPR.  Why would an exchange do your work for you and sort through all these transactions to figure out who owns what and when they owned it.

The correct way to do this would have been to come to an agreement beforehand and swap at the same time, and if that wasn't possible then give adequate notice and make sure the information is well publicized.  You guys cannot seriously defend that this was handled well.  The fact that alot of people were left out is a testament to this.
