You're more than entitled to have your doubts in my abilities as a sotware engineer, but at the end of the day it's not just me building 3 projects (thankfully). On the contrary to just some lone developer frantically trying to juggle 3 projects it would seem that a number of developers within the ecosystem have expressed their interest in helping this sidechain project along as they can.

To be entirely honest the only way I'd have even dreamt of this being developed was after testing the waters to see if fellow developers were interested in the idea, then after a long bout of research into the exact working mechanisms of how ETH and other chains have implemented their EVM stack it became apparent this was in fact something that could be done.

Most of the work has "been done" by other crypto projects in regards to putting all the pieces together. Quite an extensive list of reference material and donor repositories have made their way into a catalog that will hopefully make what's being done here a little easier to digest for developers doubting its possible.

Building this sidechain will simply be a matter of utilizing what's already known to be working on other crypto projects and amalgamating them into a HIVE asset.

The recent HR calamity was a learning experience and a lesson in not properly red teaming my own stuff to ensure it was covered against fringe occurrences or malicious function manipulation. Thankfully this HSC project will share zero code with the HR application so any security issues that lay yet to be discovered and patched on that codebase won't be grandfathered in to this project.

This sort of thing does require more than one swamped developer, you're entirely correct! And I'd be honoured to work with blocktrades if he so chose to get involved with this project, same goes for any other developer that would like to help. I'll reach out to him and see how he'd go about this as any sort of insight or constructive concerns voiced ultimately helps the project in the long run.
