Title: [speculation thread] Silence before the storm
Post by: xeroc on April 16, 2015, 02:13:59 pm
Some might have noticed already, that the devs are quite "silent" at the moment.
IMHO they are up to something very big in the near future and are coding in a private repo or offline for it. I can't tell (because I don't know :P )
buy I make a guess .. or two.

Here we go (pure speculation):
- devs are assisting a bigger player to get a gateway going with the new UIA features right from the start
- devs are adding are adding new profitability to the DAC (like a referal program) and want to publish the "secret sauce(tm)" to competitors (btw, who in here can remember that multi pools have been an idea of THIS community that was adopted by blackcoin faster?)
- they are working on a roadmap (lol)
- maybe they bought an island and drink cocktails :P
- webpage upgrade v9.0 :P

What are your thoughts?

I think you just gave them an idea what to say why they are quite silent. :D

They have run out of money and been kicked out their office. Some have taken up part time jobs as gardeners on campus while also acting as lookouts for the others who have plugged their computers directly into hijacked solar panels to continue working on BTS  :P

LOL !!!

My assumption is that they working on a private repo, and Music and Play will come all to live at the same time.  You cannot correct so much whitespace in the dev branch!

Do you think they have free time to work on side projects?

Look at the milestones
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares/milestones

They're past due. The dev team is focusing on putting out 1.0

LOL

Or maybe they have formed a new company "Pitchforks & Solar" 
On the pic 3 guys hold the flagship product in hand, the rest are figuring out how to present the somewhat confusing company strategy in code .

PS
The "Traveling Delegates' Team" is of course there to film the historic pivot of Bitshares.

Oh it will be a storm of the century!  Cannot mention any exact dates, but the next few months will be epic.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early.
He arrives precisely when he means to.
