Does anyone else in this community have any coding skills? If so please fire me a PM.

Also at some point in the not too distant future I imagine we're going to be needing someone with some forensic accounting skills, if anyone fits that bill or you know someone who does, Bitkey is going to need to be tested by someone who knows all the tricks of tracing a transaction through the blockchain. So please step forward, I can't speak for the project in any official capacity but I'm sure a reasonable bounty can be arranged for such work.

On a personal note I know it is a complete pain in the ass not getting updated on what's going on, things are happening behind the scenes, I know some things I'm not allowed to tell you. I am trying to push for greater transparency, I am lobbying for him to post some screenshots / code snippets. I wish I could explain to you what the problem is but I feel like I'd be revealing some privileged information by doing so. Please I know taking my word for it is no better than StudioOne's or Bitsta's but he really is a good coder, and the tech behind Bitkey is sound. Hang in there guys, If you can afford to buy more root than you should, at it's current price it's a steal.

Also if you guys want to do something to help, please everyone lobby the other major exchanges to get us added. BitKey will unfortunately take as long as it takes (that's really what Bitsta should have and realises he should have said in the beginning) in the mean time, we need to try and avoid disappearing into obscurity, so those of you who actually believe in the tech, believe in the mission statement of a secure and anonymous internet for the people, and those of you who just want to see a 1000% gain on your investment, it takes a team to keep a coin alive in its early stages, do what you can to help, rather than just sitting here waiting for updates. BitKey will come, it would help the coin a lot if Bittrex wasn't the only major market the coin was on when it drops, that single market is far too easy to manipulate, and I don't want the whales and fudders making their fortune on root and potentially destroying a revolutionary coin before it gets a fair shake.

In fact I tell you what, There'll be no way to prove who delivered the final blow, but everyone who tweets, emails, votes, or otherwise lobbies one or more of the major exchanges to add root, post proof of doing so in this thread and when we get added, I'll stick everyone's name in a hat and someone will get 500 root. Personally from me.

Hey Monkeys,

we ve been testing bitkey beta since last week and are finalising the release version. We ll have
bitkey tested by a promovated IT-engineer who is going to provide me a full code & functionality
report BEFORE release. This 3rd party analysis is to ensure a secure and properly tested enviroment
for cryptocurrency-transactions. I already said it and will say it again and again: i won't ever risk
users coins/time by releasing crapy software. People have done it before and we saw where it ended.
Thats the main reason for all the delays. I am doing the whole development on long-term view and
without any time-pressure. The time in this community teached me that fudders will always fud, doesn't
matter what a dev does (in fact they troll and fud mostly good projects..). Anyway, i ll always do my best to satisfy every user.

P.S. i ll be online today and tomorrow and then i am taking 2 days off till sunday afternoon (cent. europe). so if anybody has
questions or looking for some (dev)smalltalk: JOIN IRC tonight or tomorrow.

thanks!
bitsta

I bolded two things in those 2 quotes above. Would you care to explain to me the situation regarding Bitkey? Why would you need someone else to review Bitkey when Bitsta stated that he'll have an "promovated IT-engineer who is going to provide me a full code & functionality report BEFORE release"

It doesn't make any sense.

I hold zero roots as I have lost confidence in this dev.

Well first I can't speak for Bitsta, second I have no idea what "promovated" means, third, that message is a good couple of weeks old, I had a discussion with Bitsta about Bitkey like 3 days ago where I stressed to him to importance and testing it to death, and he agreed. An IT engineer can check your code, but code is what they know. Bitsta is a good coder, pulling in another good coder to check his work is a good idea but think about it like this, imagine his code is designed to destroy any trace of your DNA. A second coder reviews the code and the operation and concludes that indeed there is no trace of Bitsta's DNA. A third expert comes in, doesn't even look for DNA, after 5 minutes he traces Bitsta to where he's hiding, Bitsta says, how did you find me I destroyed all he DNA, and the guy says, "shoeprint".

Okay it's a crappy analogy but my point is if it's going to be bullet proof it has to be tested by people who don't think like a software engineer.

Thanks for the respond. I know you can't speak for Bitsta, which is why I'm asking him directly... but it seems to me like he is evading my question.

I am asking a legitimate question. My guess is that he doesn't know how to answer it or show us the report since there was never an IT-engineer to begin with.

Also, I don't even know what "promovated" means.
