1) No PR and small development team, this may be addressed with future developments
2) Wallet is weird and complicated, though it sounds like if implemented well could be more intuitive and simple than other current crypto wallets. Also it is an extra step to get an account for a wallet, devs should a figure a way around or to mitigate this complexity
3) There is a weird bug (second time I started with weird, how weird) that causes exchange wallets to randomly crash. This is a huge deal in my mind. It apparently pissed Cryptopia off to the point they delisted them. Only Poloniex remains. The bug may be an artifact of being written in Pascal while nothing else in crypto is. If devs need to write in C or some such I hope they do and don't try to be all Pascal or die on everyone. Yea Pascal! Yea, you wrote groundbreaking stuff with it, now rewrite in something people actually use. Maybe, maybe and I have a question on their discussion forum on this they solved the wallet problem in the last release. If they keep breaking wallets on exchanges it can't go anywhere. If the wallet problem is solved I think things look good, the rest can sort itself out over time.
To get back to your original post, yes I find it pretty, not weird, but astonishing. I'm not a programmer or cryptographer I can't directly evaluate what they have done maybe there are problems with their approach. If not they already solved both transaction time and scalability while everyone is saying wait until we get our level two solutions in place. Again astonishing. I agree that if valid, and while there are always growing pains, it is a sleeper. I suspect it will be awhile before people notice it. Level two solutions will take some time to roll out and my hunch is there will be some push back from established financial interests that could delay things further. If Pascal cleans up the other problems, people may take a look at that time and so oh look Pascal coin already solved all this a year ago in a different way. If that happens to happen, watch out.
