I am upset. Not so much because of the delay (delays are normal) but because I feel misled.
How could a 1 more week (before testnet) estimate possibly coincide with the 2-3 month estimate now?
Where is the hardfork difficulty fix that was "imminent"?
I tweeted based on these estimates and spent a lot of time contacting merchants, etc discussing Zerocoin. Now I feel like it will probably be harder to regain interest from these merchants because the time estimates I shared with them were off by a wide margin.
I think the community still want Gnosis to work as hard as possible to finish the project ASAP. However I would suggest we require a POD (proof of developer) before making any more donations to allow him to work full time past Nov 1st.
