Aside of this, I am not sure how the swap could slow down the development? I don't see a connection there, development should have nothing common with the swap process.

It's common sense. If Shannon has to devote his time to manually swap coins and provide support for the swapping process it is slowing down the development. He could have been coding instead of swapping coins and answering emails.

People who haven't swapped can only blame themselves. Swap should have ended long time ago because it was only slowing down the development. If I remember correctly 90% of people swapped in a month or two after the swap started. This info has been posted all over telegram channel and all the twitter channels. If in the last 12 months someone didn't find time to swap his coins then who should be blamed?

The truth is that people are stupid and careless. They see a big green candle and they start panicking but they didn't care to swap when it was worth 3 sat. Even if the swap period was extended to five years I bet it wouldn't change anything. 5 years + 1 day later someone would show up angry because he didn't swap. Those idiots should pay for their mistakes and laziness.

Why are you ignoring the transaction fee argument? If you own 20,000 Covals and the transaction cost 10,000 Covals... you take extremly care of your Covals when you are not swapping by then. Btw, 3 sat equals 16,666 Covals (= 0.0005 Btc transaction fee). Your whole perspective compares apples and oranges when you think it was laziness. And so your insult just reveal what you think about the idea of decentralization.

Coval has not built its own chain. It has used the XCP-chain (like it is still displayed on coinmarketcap) and afterwards it becomes an ERC20 token. Congratulations. Any developments yet, besides a lot of websites?

From the general point of view the transaction cost argument doesn't matter at all. It is what it is. Swap must have been done to keep this coin alive. Right now you will pay the same exact fee in $. When I want to buy more coval now, should I start whining that I have to pay btc fees, trading fees and all the other fees? No one cares, because that's how it is.
