The keener BC-redditters will know Pavel (Rat4) & I are assisting David (Dzimbeck) to adapt BitHalo into BlackHalo, of which both applications will become the foundation for the umbrella app NightTrader. Firstly, BitHalo is functioning superbly on the BTC network, and he is currently tweaking functions and ironing out minor usability issues.

The intelligent design decisions that David used to create BitHalo to boost it's development speed have unfortunately provided us with hurdles to overcome in creating BlackHalo, alongside opportunities to massively improve the stability and accessibility of BlackCoin to other developers and users. In short, BitHalo relies on a number of independent third-party BTC services to function; these don't currently exist for BC so we're building them. If David had chosen to code these 'services' directly into his apps, then his development of BitHalo would've taken 3-6 months longer and we wouldn't even be discussing these projects now.

We plan on beta-testing and deploying both Halo apps more-or-less simultaneously. As much more work is involved than originally thought (and Pavel is already overworked with building PoS 2.0) this of course is delaying the release. The side benefit is David has extra time to build and improve NightTrader, bringing it's release nearer to that of both Halo's.

Meanwhile, a superb bonus emerges too: these newly coded BlackCoin services will also strengthen the BC network and allow other third-party apps to be coded & function more efficiently.

Hope that helps clear up some concerns. Please be patient... this is going to be awesome
