Well.... The official "beta" was suppose to be released in September and then 3 weeks after the distribution. I would also like to know when it will happen.
no need to rush. just look at NODEcoin to see what happens when you push a release date
or, please rush so I can pick up cheap NEM when dumpers dump upon a premature release
Even if we released right this second it wouldn't be as premature as NODE

I have no doubt yet ANOTHER delay is hurting us, seems like NEM was all the hype but people have moved on. Hopefully once the longest IPO ever is at an end the hype will return.
People have moved on? How come I don't know about it? You got stats and evidence?
I've got stats and evidence that NEM is doing really well in its development. In fact if I have my way, I'd rather they complete the AE too before release! ;-)
Honestly, I don't understand what you are trying to get at. You wish to delay its roll out indefinitely and yet you are complaining that the delay is hurting us. What is your problem actually?
NEM on the AE is at its highest price in a long time. If price is reflective on interest then NEM is getting a ton!
