Thanks. Looks to me like jutarul pulled that number out of thin air but he does know better than any of us non-board members. Either way I think if enough people bug FC he will give us an update even if it doesn't include any real progress.
It's not pulled out of thin air, it's another deadline which FC committed to (actually it's 31-Jan), so I expect some update coming from him around that date. Otherwise the board obviously has to inquire about the delay (and do something about it).
Nice insight. I can only underline the need for such an update for the non-board investors, i.e. this forum! Be it just a heads up on the progress and the next vague steps/milestones.
Which makes me wonder, what kind of leverage does the board have? How could they influence the direction AM is going? Is there any distributed power (i.e. multiple signatures for wallets, etc...)?
