The team cannot resolve issues, you decided to use a new codebase, because you cannot resolve issues. Are you sure, that you can produce a good product? Now you use a BTC codebase, because it simpler. How you can run your own original product?
And start was delayed.
Hello and thank you for your question.
We have always used Bitcoin as our core code base however
we designed our blockchain with the ability to upgrade to any version of Bitcoin Core as they release. Kind of like dropping a new engine into the body of an old car. Bitcoin Core v0.19 is in pre-release so we decided to do the needful and do the rebase.
This does not have anything to do with our issues we had during our initial testnet release.
Those issues have been resolved, and we are looking forward to another release for stable testnet in the next few days. We only intend to release a stable product that is 100% functional. Anything less and we will not go to mainnet.
We have originality in the design and implementation of the technology stack and our future implementations to our chain. This is just the start. Furthermore, all cryptocurrencies are based off an implementation of Bitcoin's code. Most however are functioning on outdated versions and have no plans to change that. We can look at DASH and PIVX as examples which are both coins we can agree are good projects that added to the market with their own technologies... but currently fall short when it comes to utilizing the latest technologies, some being things like SEGWIT which we implemented along with our DASH stack.
I hope this provides you with clarity, and I look forward to conversing with you further about this if you wish.
