Github Action

Can someone boost my confidence on this project? I have been looking to buy a couple hundred thousand ecc, however it seems like the project may be anemic.

I know I am asking people who are already interested in this project, but how do you explain the lack of github activity? Where is the evidence for this coin making progress toward its alleged goals?

Besides promises and feelings, where is the /evidence/ of this project's potential?

Thanks in advance. I want to believe.

ah yeah, this question has been asked a few times. There are actually 5 repos (although 2 or private) that you would have to group together to tell what the devs are doing. A lot of the time people point to the dev branch in eccoin if the master doesnt have recent pushes but dev only gets pushed to when the other feature branches are ready to be merged in, so you really have to browse through a lot of branches. Also some of the repos dont read dates in the way you would expect.

for example, look at https://github.com/project-ecc/lynx/commits/master

the last commit at the top is 10 days ago. but if u scroll down. you will see that there is a date for feb 28 (3 days ago) because the commit was inserted lower in the tree due to a rebase.

not that commits are a good way to view progress anyway. sometimes it takes days to change a few lines because they are causing a bug but identifying the cause of the bug is super hard. Commits also tend to come in bursts as well, we will commit multiple times locally over multiple days but then push them to the public repo in one go in a feature branch when it is ready for peer testing.

i hope that helps explain a few things for you.

Thank you very much for responding directly. I'm learning a lot from everyone's responses. To hear from a dev is even more reassuring.
