No progress and beta，Why!!!
You have never done software development, have you? It's ready when it's ready.
I wish people who don't write code had no ability to complain about missed deadlines. Most people don't have the type of mind to code anything outside rudimentary programs (if that). Yet they want to think it is like whatever A,B,C work they do in real life. Known processes where you can estimate times.
The team is working on this part time while we have our regular jobs as well. That being said, we are getting really close to have a stable platform that will form the testnet. I think people will be impressed by our work once the alpha is out.
