I wish I could give you a better prediction on release, but I can't. The launch team still needs to deliver that code and that could be today or a week from now. Richy is in talks with them on it. After that is a 1-2 week PoW to PoS closed burn to 20160 blocks. During that time the Core Team (not me) will talk with Cryptopia and set a launch date. I'm not in those Core Team meetings, so I can only give you info I have on hand. As soon as the ball moves further I'll drop a note or Teela will drop one here.
August and still nothing. Good scam
they created a wallet for over a year
Such comment shows that you don't know what it costs to create a decent wallet. And it hasn't been just the wallet, the ideal configuration for the chain has also been researched and they have worked hard to code the change from PoW to PoS correctly. And they have done all this voluntarily, without receiving a dollar or having a single HLM.
Many other projects would have killed for having such people on their team, so to underestimate their work seems an insult to everything they have done. The launch has suffered delays and could have been handled differently, but there are still people working very hard on the project and Helium isn't a big company with a large ICO that can burn money with futile expenses.
I agree, for an airdrop coin made without any ico funding by volunteer devs you can't expect a money back guarantee ... No wait, you can, HLM cost us nothing, remember, so we're all entitled to a full refund at any time!
