In a space where Khal "trademarked" the word SOONTM as an ETA for projects, it is hard to say for sure when something is to be released.
VERY SOONTM is not very reliable either, maybe NOWTM, unless something happens and thing get postponed for a few days.
As someone who understands a little bit more about software projects and their development cycles than the regular folks, I get where Khal's reluctance to give hard dates comes from. Because they are difficult to keep, even when they are rough estimates.
You can bang your head to a wall for week or more (figurately, of course) trying to fix what seems like the tiniest bug. And when you depend on others outside of your team (like Khal does), it's getting harder: wait for Apple staff to approve your mobile app (and convince them to do so), wait for CertiK to audit your smart contracts for months (this must be a pain in the ass, since they believe and almost are the center of the defi-verse right now), and who knows what else it's been going on.
And he's not the only one having this issue with date estimates. Blocktrades estimated HF26 could be done at the end of January. That's after a lot of work on HF26 was completed already. Now the estimates are for the end of March, but possibly April. I understand why that happened, but again, when you make a date estimate in the development world, things can happen to change it.
Same for Splinterlands. By the former roadmap, we should have had land expansion released in its initial form some time ago. But priorities changed, and I can't say I have a problem with the introduction of SPS, which made the old roadmap obsolete.
But let's get back to PolyCub.
I believe it was during the last AMA (if not, it was the one before) where Khal said CertiK gave him a hard date for the audit on PolyCub smart contracts - 14 February. Could be sooner, Khal said, but that's the hard date. Now, will CertiK keep their promise? They seem to be in the business of perpetual delays lately.
But if the audit comes on or by February 14th, Khal said PolyCub is ready to be released and has been for some time.
So maybe we should upgrade the release expectations for PolyCub from SOONTM to VERY SOONTM, and maybe even NOWTM around Valentine's Day.
We've only been waiting for it since late October last year. :)
Personally I wouldn't have a problem if PolyCub was launched without the external audit, but Khal wants it, because they modified many smart contracts and it looks good for potential external investors to have it at launch time.
Are you ready, if PolyCub finally joins the Leofinance family?

While PolyCUB is preparing to be launched I simply continue to grow my CUB stash in order to get a bigger piece of the airdrop pie. Patience is a virtue and with so much happening in the crypto space we can only build up until the Go Live happens.

Yes, that's a good strategy. Those who kept building on their CUB holdings since October are now sitting on a nice stash. :)
Having a considerable stake is always an advantage. I've been growing my CUB stash as well.

When I saw the title of your post, my first instinct was "SOON", without even reading the post. We used to WEN and SOON as that's what has been going on.
But we all know it's better to be good then fast, so no rush if we want something safe and well built.
Yeah, what about Project Blank? :)

I thought it would be cruel to bring Project Blank into discussion. For those waiting for it. But from all the tidbits Khal drop about it, it's gonna be HUGE!
Hehehe... I think I know where you got the idea for the post... :) I think I heard the same date as you stated, but Khal has mentioned BEFORE all this that they will do a series of posts about Polycubs, pools, etc. (tutorial-like), and then release it... As we didn't see posts about it, I'm afraid that we will have to wait for more...
Yep, your comment yesterday gave the the idea! :)
Well, if the audit didn't come yet, maybe he's playing it safe and won't release the posts in advance, since he got burned by CertiK broken promises way too many times.
To be honest, it can take as long as possible. Just compound away and wait. I have no need for it currently anyway, so it's cool :)

So, no more WEN? Khal will be either relieved or disappointed. :)
Only waiting on one more thing and their cut off date is the 14th of this month so I expect it within the next week or two to launch. Till then I'm going to be building CUB and Polygon like crazy!

Yes, I expect another round of great excitement for the Leofinance community with the launch of PolyCUB. This time it's a deflationary token from what I heard, so even more getting in early is a must.
We can't wait to see this polycub airdrop. We are expecting the airdrop

Yep, everyone does, lol. We are spoiled in the crypto world.
Yes bro
