I've been off for a bit, how is that going? And how are you, it's been some time.

I'm doing great, thanks! :-) Hope you're doing fine, too.
Actually I have no idea how all these projects are going. There have been no official announcements after Steemfest², and I'm not a member of the relevant chat rooms :-)

I guess they are working hard on it, it seems like a big project. If it goes well it could really increase the price of the coin. Glad you are doing great :), I'm good as well.

I dont think they released the protocol as of yet.

It appears it is still in the works.
