I've been defending Gox pretty much the whole time, but this is starting to drive me crazy. MagicalTux hasn't posted anything on the forum since the 21st. It should have been obvious to me when they admitted their deadlines were just there to get people off their back, that they didn't take the notion of a timely and orderly restoration of service very seriously. :-/

Are you a programmer, and have you ever had to release a software?

Yes. And I sympathize with how difficult it is to predict how long a product will take to produce, and then push it on time. However, I sympathize less and less with their PR. If they gave us a worst-case launch date to start with (say, next Sunday), then they could have shifted the date forward as their estimates improved instead of backward. It's cowardly to just tell us what we want to hear when they know there's a 90% chance it'll wind up being a lie.
