Georgem, for your first update can you make sure that you address individual concerns?
No, the update I'm preparing will be a
purely technical one.
Me talking to the community about dev work.
That's what people are waiting for, and that's what they will get.
But we can talk about your own individual concerns right here, publicly and anytime.
Don't use Slack for this. I literally spent 50 hours during January addressing your concerns on Slack. No more of this!

So, what was your concern again?
My only criticisms are that communication is non existent and progress isn't reported. This makes it very hard to contribute.
How can a team work together if they have no idea what the lead dev is doing?
I mean besides that?
Didn't we agree to research Big Data so we can find a methodology that respects both privacy and decentralization?
Why has there not been any activity in this area?
http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?board=23.0I thought by now we would be having a pretty heated discussion going on in this subforum. (as has happened in slack)
You know, dissecting the
proposal piece by piece, addressing every issue, discussing legalities, concepts, problems, etc..
Why isn't this happening? How exactly is my dev work stopping you from continuing your research?
How can a team work together if they have no idea what the lead dev is doing?
I mean, I created a well thought out roadmap:
http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735.0and definied a few research areas so that people who want to contribute can help in a more specific way:
http://www.spreadcoin.info/community.phpBut still, you keep asking that question.
Anyway, I'll just have to improve this even further I guess.
Weekly dev podcast it is!
