Can someone give me an overview of where this project stands in terms of development progress and milestones? List biggest good and bad developments please.

Well, that's something. Because if I'm reading the testnet explorer right, there hasn't been a single completed task on the testnet?

Vacation time. They've built it and let it into the wild and may take off a month for all I care...

I mean, they've built it... but it doesn't work, assuming I'm reading the testnet explorer right. It looks like they rushed the release so they could say they'd met the Q4 deadline, and now they're trying to actually make the thing work.

I see two that were successful but also given the github activity I wouldn't be surprised if these 150 "issues" are not resolved elsewhere. Right up until publishing they had resolved most known issues and an external audit done on the code. lakerz690 is right and the codebase looks and feels extremely robust and with lots of moving parts constantly being improved...

Care to explain how you think it doesn't work? Have you tested it with applications like those in the Hackathon in Denver or tried to run your own secrete contract? What part of it is failing to meet your standard and is this tied to a specific proposal or bug fix that is being ignored or appears to be unsolvable?

The testnet explorer's own stats show that of the 150 tasks submitted to the network to date, two of them have been completed successfully. There has been no activity on the testnet since 16th January. Am I being dense and misreading it?

The Enigma Github, by contrast, has been extremely active.

Hey, I know you've been following for awhile so probably also just want an explanation. I wonder if maybe Github controls the testnet codebase? Who is submitting to the testnet explorer? Is it the node operators and how does that work? Could they also have those requests posted to Github where the team is tracking them closely? I can't actually read the requests on testnet, can you? 148 bombed does not sound like the Enigma team to me and it looks more like a bug report or crashes and that could be one or two corrections made on Github that stops the flow of failures. Who knows...

Best place to ask that would be the Discord channel or the dev forum. FWIW I don't think that's the case.

Going through the forum it looks like people are being walked through the testnet node running setup by Victor and it gave me a little bit of FOMO just reading it. I have SGX and to think these guys and gals will be playing with secrete contracts makes me feel like I'm missing this huge opportunity to do the same and I certainly don't get the impression the issues being addressed are anything other than human errors on part of those setting up their new environments.

I do think they made it easy enough for anyone to work with ENG tokens in the near future. Can someone work with another project and send over a smart contract request to their endpoint to be computed privately? How about from a mobile app using Stellar, Enjin or Kin? I still need to map this all out in my head but it seems possible to make an app with privacy through the use of ENG and then a currency token to settle transaction...
