Sound solutions to existing issues with current cryptos. A deflationary store of wealth that actually is necessary because of smart contract implementation and infinite scalability to function as an actually usable store of wealth vs Bitcoin is an incredible technology.

Hydra and Oroboros are the best new technologies in crypto of the year. I would have expected the price to have reached even higher when the madman came through with Shelley. Eth 2.0 is going to be rolled out slowly and no one really is defending Casper. Even Polkadot's BABE consensus algorithm is based around IOHK code. Also Charles is extremely handsome and funny and wonderful.

Why haven't you invested in the only project that actually has smart contacts and with the most based developer in the field?

This billionaire chad walks up to the bar and grabs your wife's ass. What do you do?

It's nice to see someone else finds Charles cute on here. : )

Judging by this slight glimpse at Charle's chest -- you know Cardano will do well in a bear's market, if you know what I mean.

They hired junior engineers, who did a substandard job implementing cardano-sl. The effects:

- Cardano synchronizes slowly, despite the blockchain data only occupying a few hundred MB. This should take only 10-20 minutes, but instead it used to take 5+ hours.
- Wallet restoration used to take 5+ hours, for a small blockchain.
- Some people have mysterious "Connecting to network" issues.
- I guess the underlying code is unmaintainable.

IOHK has parted ways with those guys and brought other engineers on board. The team has written a formal specification (https://cardanodocs.com/technical/formal-specification-for-a-cardano-wallet/).). This is cool because people can implement Cardano in any language based on this. The engineering team is now unfucking and rewriting cardano-sl, which will be done with the Cardano 1.4 release, scheduled for October.

IOHK has released the KEVM testnet (https://testnet.iohkdev.io/goguen/)), you can try running your EVM smart contracts written in Solidity there. The IELE testnet is scheduled to be released within 2 weeks. IELE will eventually make it possible to write smart contracts not only in solidity, but mainstream languages also. This "K framework" workstream that Runtime Verification does progressed pretty well.

There's "Project Prometheus", which is a new implementation of Cardano. It's a wallet library written in Rust and probably a desktop wallet also. It's supposed to be a lot more fast and lightweight than the current state of Cardano and the Daedalus wallet. It'll be announced around August 15. It works on pretty much all platforms, including mobile.

Although Cardano was supposed to have a delegation testnet by now, the delegation incentives paper is not even finished. But it's nearing completion, I guess that's something.

Proper working wallets and staking might be available by 2019 Q1. Until then, we "shit while we run": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n97zc0w0kVs&t=1h26m32s (Great Q&A section by the way, worth a watch!)
