all the other crypto projects are child's play compared to this one
tau is the most ambitious project I've seen, lead by the smartest guy I know
it's worth keeping an eye on for sure

So I don't doubt that Ohad is a very very smart guy, but I am worried for a couple of reasons:

#1. Ohad hasn't updated any code in several months. He hasn't even responded to the open issue on the github about it: https://github.com/naturalog/tauchain/issues/10

#2. The pre-sale was paused for some reason, (I didn't see future plans to resume that) and the project doesn't look very active.

But I want to believe!

https://github.com/IDNI/tau
new code
released the day before I wrote that article
updated daily since

Ah, interesting. I guess he moved the source code to another project? Maybe he's working on the tau language and not the tau chain right now.

It's also a bit scary with the bus factor. If God forbid he was hit by a bus, would the project continue? Are there other devs working with him?
