I see my name being brought up so I share my 5 cents regarding the SC client: I’ve brought up this on every occasion possible for the past 3 years. Since no progress had been made in that direction, I sort of blame myself for being unable to communicate my ideas. At some point I realized that if I don’t do it myself, no one will. I even took the time and prepared a proposal to the Foundation:
The idea was to test the waters if the Foundation is interested in supporting this. If they were - I’d gather a team and make some proper estimations. The good news is that they are interested in this. The bad news is because of some personal reasons - my context had changed so I will not be able to work on this project, hence - I withdrew it. The proposal is still there and hopefully someone will eventually pick it up. I could consult them if needed.
The bottom line is that this is independent from the Hyperchains project.
