like me , if you see an RNS one week that says first IM imminent, we just need the signatures you think "great , things are finally moving"
Then a week later , another RNS , all parties have signed , and you think " Brilliant news! We have lift off!" ...and then you realise , no , not quite , still need to actually complete the transaction and so you wait and another two weeks pass and still nothing doing , well , one could be forgiven for thinking wtf are they playing at??
Well , I don't know how long it should take from initiating to completing a transaction but I think it is reasonable to wait and see , particularly as it is the first one , and I think it is also reasonable to think that future transactions may be executed somewhat quicker than the first transactions , and we will need a decent flow of transactions in order to generate the revenues we need to be a success.
The point is that nobody but nobody knows how this will all unfold as the proof of the pudding will be in the functionality and appeal of the platform and we can't make a judgement on that because there are no completed transactions to dissect as yet.
To be honest I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other , I just think it's a decent punt , albeit a longshot and I don't think I've ever said anything different , wouldn't want to bet the house on it though.
