Prediction: Dev4 is David Zimbeck who will bring BlackHalo to Vericoin.

Who else is there it could be? Peter Todd offers consulting at $50 an hour?

No though we have been in talks with him.

He would make an announcement himself about his working relationship with us.

Veri Nice...please keep us posted!

How do you know Gavin didn't work for months on that yellow paper? Give Doug a break, I talk to him frequently on IRC and he is working hard on multiple things at once. I know what your going to say "He needs to Prioritize!", while I do agree that there should be a steady follow of releases it doesn't always work out that way.

The big problem is, the reality of it, developing technology for a coin is not a linear progression. It's not like baking a cake where you can predict with high degree of success exactly when it will be ready. Software throws up unexpected bugs, or you get unexpected issues that turn out the be more complex than you thought. You discover bugs in upstream libraries which take time to resolve. This is all very time consuming. Coinmarkets are always looking for the next thing, and the next hype, meantime we've got our heads down working so maybe it doesnt look like stuff is going on.

Because we are in such a power position, right? Perhaps you should think a bit about who needs who in this situation?

Just a thought...
