What is the status of that thing anyways? You wait too long you are going to miss your chance... striking now while Facebook is trying to launch their own coin adds a lot more credibility to your argument... get that thing going already!

Legal things move slowly, not at crypto speed, but we have made huge progress.
We have until January 2024 before statute of limitations becomes an issue.
What is the huge progress you have made? Getting people to sign up? That was the easy part. It's been over 2 years since you have been talking about this... what is the huge progress?
No, getting people to sign up is the hardest part!
The value of the claim is what is most important to professional litigation funding firms. You need a decent legal case, but after that, its all about the value of the claim.
Its much harder to get people to sign up for class actions than you might expect, which is why the Australian High Court's recent decision disallowing common fund orders and forcing litigation funders to do book builds was such a blow to the industry. https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/high-court-delivers-blow-to-booming-class-action-industry-20191204-p53gov.html
Big litigation funding companies typically spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on book builds, which is why Courts initially allowed common fund orders to avoid these costs (which are passed on to claimants as reductions in payouts).
I know this might seem a little counter-intuitive, but the actual Court work is actually the easy bit because over 95% of funded cases settle before trial.
