So ... what exactly is your point? I mean, what you're saying is partially true, there is low visible development but if you take a look at
the xNode branch for example there are some pretty interesting things happening (that was about 2 months ago).
There is no point, I just wanted to confirm that what @nullroute said is true, but then @bit010 shill showed up and the rest is history.
Indeed your words are true. I don't care that if the xNode is worked on, the implementation was supposed to be done more than a year ago, acording to their roadmap, which btw they don't have the time to update/remove it from the website since is outdated and way delayed. They are too busy to do nothing.
Same for our custom POS/POW balancing that was implemented about a year ago or so. These things take time because they are naturally complex.
As you pointed out the POS/POW system was implemented about a year ago, so he had enough time to fix ite. Or at least they should remove the 25% APR from the specs and whitepaper, so the newcomers would know the reality. The current presentation of the project is deceptive. Some could call this scamming.
Some people here are just watching the project out of curiosity, most are probably investors/speculators looking to make profit. For this project, the same rules apply as for any other investment. There is risk and there is a certain reward associated with that risk because the price already reflects the risk/uncertainty according to market theory.
So ... what is left? Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't. If you can contribute something to make it happen, feel free to do so. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Pretty simple.

Since the project is not offering anything new, even if something/everything is custom there is nothing new. Like you are building a custom car, it is custom but still a car. Since the coin can't be used as a mean of payment due to the large block spacing and too many confirmations. Yes I'am here (I was) as a 'speculators looking to make profit'.
'Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't.' My bet is: it won't. My 2 cents! Respect!

All about what you ask is all discussed in the discord. Come and read the archive. Do not be lazy.
Thanks for the advice, will do. As for joining Discord, I'll pass, since I think I'll feel like a nigga in a white people saloon in early 1800.
sorry.
I cheered for the project, but I want to tell the new investors looking for it.
