I appreciate your message during these hard times and both ETH and BTC and many other projects have faced far worse tings than delays. Most of these projects don'even have a great technology behind them. But like many people SMT's are my biggest concern. It's the one that I was most looking forwards to. But on the good side we already have projects like @steemmonsters that are doing well without even having SMT's.
It'd be great if few ads could be implemented and use the funds to accelerate development.
