Hello everybody, i understand many of you are frustrated about missing the deadline, many of you are questioning whether the devs have given up. I had a talk with gnosis who is working very hard. He does not want to spend a lot of time explaining why he did not finish when that time could be used trying to finish sooner

Right Now Gnosis is working on the ZC mint-related logic. The Zerocoin checkpointing however is more work than anticipated.
Within Check-pointing:
1) miners accumulating minted coins into checkpoints (DONE),
2) verifying checkpoints upon receiving a block (IN PROGRESS),
3) storing and loading checkpoints in leveldb
4) fix miner coin accumulation so it doesn't restart from scratch each time there's a new transaction
Gnosis say another day or so for #2
Next: (2-4 days each)
wallet witness update
wallet mint logic
refactor CoinSpend
RPC create spend + impl.
store own spend pieces locally
RPC get seeding spend proofs
net: seed spends
net: receive and verify spends
store received spend pieces
wallet spend logic
GUI
I will try to answer as best i can any questions people may have.
Sorry but my faith is gone - will not return. With a team like gnosis/Meeh, whats to stop this happening time and time again. This is not the first and I can guarantee not the last.
And as mutiple people have voiced, the fundemantals of the coin is utterly fucked and being difficulty raped yet the Dev's have not cared for months.
At this point the actual Zerocoin implementation is insignificant to the other major problems this coin faces.
