- How long has the coin been in development?

Is the start of the bitcointalk any indication of it's age? That would be very young, unless there's been ongoing development in the past. But there are no such hints in the github repository.

- When if is going to be code responsible for anonymising transaction released?

Currently the repository contains no traces of any code responsible for such features.

I've heard vague claims that the XNodes features are ought to be implemented in 3 weeks of time. That's a bold claim considering there's not even a binary release of a wallet containing such functionality.

There's not even an ongoing or planned testing phase announced by the developer or community. That's pretty crucial because lots of money is at stake. Do people really want to risk their assets in the near future? What if the implementation does not reach expectations? What if the implementation is flawed or exploitable? What if the implementation is not working? What happens when it's realesed (as claimed in 3 weeks) into the wild, to a 10$ million market. There's a reason why the likes of Zerocoin take months and are still not ready. 3 weeks is not even enough to write a moderately complex iPhone app.
Who is appointed to test and audit the code? Who is appointed to verify it?

Ifs can be said about all coins, including BTC. Yes, there are risks. Who says the dev has only been working on this for 3 weeks?

You are correct, but people put faith in currencies like BTC because they are established, well known and more importantly have been around for a long time. Had the developer been working on the coin longer than 3 weeks this would have reasurred me and many others that thing is legit. There's no indication of it though in the repository, though. I'd like to be proven wrong.

What I am worried is that as of today the coin is realistically speaking no different than the other PoS coins we've had in the recent months. Yes, planned functionality sets it apart, but it's just planned functionality without a concrete backing.

If nothing else, we actually know who the developer is. He owns his own company and is putting his reputation at risk. I think this alone sets it apart.

Can you link me a post, thread or twitter message or anything where the dev is revealing his identity?

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Ah, let me guess... you want to save people from losing their precious BTC. You are such a noble soul. Can you link me a post, thread or twitter message where you are revealing your identity?

Seems to be common knowledge who the developer is. Wouldn't it be good publicity to do an interview with him or something? So how come I can't find him mentioning anywhere his identity?
