Ok regarding the Pavels work here are the updates to master...  Unfortunately I dont know what this means.  Also this is not POS 2.0 or is it.  since I am not a coder I cant tell...

So can anyone tell me if POS 2 which is suppose to enhance security is beeing worked on?  The last updated to release 2.0 was on may 1st!  et: fix nTimeFirstKey init, by making constructor init common code …

that is a good example why someone who does not know about software development should not even try to spread information. If you intended to FUD you could not have done it better.

The protocol2 branch has been (i think) created may 1st, since then there is a long list of commits, last one 5 days ago: https://github.com/rat4/blackcoin/commits/protocolv2
No FUD coming from me.  I am trying to figure out why is taking so long to get things out for the new POS 2.0  
Maybe POS 2 is not as important as I believe it to be so now Pavel is working on strengthening the current versions?
Also Legionaire group has not provided any updates on their work..  
As i said, i don't think that it was your intention, but you have not the slightest clue what you are talking about and that has the same effect.
There is no reasonable sentence that starts with "I am not a developer BUT" (or similar). Period.

You say there were no changes made although there have been a commits just some days ago... Even after i directed you the source of that you keep asking why he is not working on it??
Of course he is also working on the current version because the new protocol branch has of course the same code base and only some things are redone. Should he stop fixing current issues like the latest OpenSSL bug (which btw. hasn't been fixed by the vast majority of devs and "devs" yet...).


The github is confusing..  I dont know why the may 1st is on top of the commit 11 days ago (june 4rth??)

Unfortunately people get defensive but I just want to get some information that NOBODY is willing to put forward for the common people who buy BC.

Here are the commits of v2.  As I said before, I dont see any sense of urgency here:
