This is fucked up. From an assured Oct 15th testnet, to a week delay, to a 2-3 month delay. There's really nothing I can say, very weird way of acting.
When the darkcoin dev made a few mistakes along the way, I always felt assured that he would pull through with results, since he had his real name and face out there since day 1 (and had been delivering actual results) . With gnosis it feels like he can just walk away from all this stuff if he decides to and no one can hold him accountable for it. If he feels the task is too big after all, all he needs to do is stop posting.

These "delays" are going on for around a year already.
Do not send any donations. As long as they receive donations they will pretend an activity "2 weeks" (TM). If gnosis was ever serious he would finish the coin long time ago and could become rich instantly from its repricing. But he is focused on cashing the donations only. Why is that?
If I was not serious about implementing Zerocoin, don't you think I would have cashed out my donations by now? Note that they haven't moved: http://ancblockchain.com/address/AU4hFCFZLhB2gTyG4VbaEurXGrTMNW2nu6
Listen, no one has even come close to the possible breakthrough that ANC/ZC represents. We recognize this isn't an easy undertaking and I'll admit, I was surprised at the fast time table ^_^. Shit happens, no worry lol. We understand that the coding takes time and are just a bit disappointed. The promise is still there and really the only hope for the future. I think the most important thing is just the question as to whether we can still get the initial hard fork to deal with multipool dumping/gaming the system and the txid >100kb transaction issue, aka digishield implementation + aux/pow. I think facilitating those updates in a short term manner, like immediately, would do a lot to help stabilize any uncertainty regarding the coins future. As long as we can still transfer coins back and forth from exchanges and private holders it helps address the a lot of the concerns; then we just wait for zc but can help work on the network strength in the meantime. Meeh, whats the good word
?I agree with last comment above. We are urgently waiting for a word from Meeh and an upgrade to at least get stability and withdraw from the exchanges.
