This comes up from time to time. A really cool idea, but it didn't go anywhere so far. It seems like a lot of work has occurred according to github, but to the potential users, it doesn't seem like much has ultimately changed since when I was super excited for it in 2014. The team did some detour to look into block chain and an ICO like 5+ years ago that seemed to have derailed things. Last I checked, Windows flagged the installer as suspicious. It would be really cool to get this off the ground though.

Looking at the github tracker it seems like development has really stalled. That's the way these low bus factor projects go sometimes, especially when the main dev loses interest and the contributors are left to pick up the slack. But since there's so much history there, hope remains that it will see renewed interest one day. Sometimes life just gets in the way.

Thanks for that. I haven't checked in awhile now.

Nothing has changed because I still can't compile it on 64 bit Linux without a lot of hassle. I think that added friction to get it to work and try it out is enough to keep the majority of potential contributors away from it.
