Looks like Moolah has already made its decision, and so has the market.
These so-called "devs" will abandon the coin soon after the escrow is released to them.
And, even if they don't, they're incompetent and they're not professional C++ developers or effective project managers, for that matter.
The only hope for SYS as far as market confidence is new management with hard-core development expertise and street cred.
I disagree with the Moolah CEO - I think the opportunity cost and reputational damage will be more severe than you expect. You think you would've learned from Mintpal.
If we decide not to refund, the escrow will be released in a series of staggered phases to ensure continued development. We are also considering contributing an experienced developer to the team temporarily to help them with minor issues.
While I am sure there will be some damage, we cannot breach our contract and the terms stipulated.
How will you judge if the terms have been met? My wallet won't open. That is a fact. Others have said the same.
