Its going to take one more month for what you call "simple problem" ?

It'd be better to let the devs work without the stress of the market so that they deliver a bug-free feature. IMO the coin's reputation cannot afford a 3rd failure to migrate to the new payments system. A quick & dirty fix that could possibly lead to another problem is by far worse than waiting for some weeks. My 2 cents

When the first delay occurred, people were like "if there is a second delay, the coin will die".
When the first fork happened, people were like "if there is a second fork, the coin will die".

It seems to me like the benchmark is always re-positioned to the next possible make-it/break-it point to add extra excitement and drama.

If people have unrealistic expectations of what a development project is, that's their problem. I think the market is showing tremendous levels of maturity and now understands the situation far better.

I'm not saying a 3rd failure would be the end, but it would definitely have an impact on the coin's reputation.

The bottom line is that the migration plan was not good.

Migrations happen everyday on very large scale systems. Nothing breaks, because there are good and well-tested migration plans.

Please, keep in mind that there is a serious amount of money that is being traded out there. Be professionals and have a good migration plan next time.

this.

It is amazing to think that a pretty straightforward bug, not found during 4 weeks of "intensive" testing, suddenly appeared out of the blue after 20 minutes in the prod environment. It also means that catastrophic showstoppers could potentially occur anytime during the next attempt, since the testnet environment sounds rather much ineffective.

ok going to bed truly this time
