Bottom line is the devs don't work for you or anyone else for that matter. They work for free and on donations. There was no pre-mine or shady launch practices. If you were employing them to build and work on a coin for you then you can post criticism of missed or delayed dates. But that isn't the case we are all just investors in a promising new currency with a solid roadmap.

One thing you should know if you have ever engineered software is that "dates" are always just an estimate. Things come up at the last minute that might of been overlooked that affect the estimate release of a feature. Other times you find things that could improve the overall structure/performance of the codebase, which then require additional resources to implement. Another thing you should know is that putting pressure on a software engineer only delays the progress even more. Once you are jacked in and have a good flow going the last thing you are thinking of is a post on a forum about FUD or a delayed date. Your main focus is the logic.

I'd advise everyone to take a deep breathe and go rub one out. Go to the beach and have a couple drinks. Do something other than worry about your Cloak investment or the release of a feature. If the feature is delayed for any reason its because there is still work that needs to be done and you should take that as confidence in the development team. In my experience looking at a lot of the developers here like Darkcoin for example - they build up hype, release a feature without proper testing and it completely kills the confidence in the platform. If the dev team is taking their time to fully test a product before launching it that is not only good for the product but also good for your investment as you can expect a lot better ROI.


If you want a perfect example of what rushed software products look like just have a look at Microsoft. They set the benchmark for meeting the "release date."
