sorry, but I have to point out a few faults in both your article and the ones you link to.

There is no issue with launching the chain, what they first did was validating and finding bugs. When that was done a 3rd party is auditing the code. The first "no-go" signals was because the validating was not done. Now it´s because the auditing wasn't done.

The disagreements come mainly from people not understanding the seriousness they are in. They are all working together to launch one main chain, and it's not multiple chains being launched from the BP's.

There's one chain being launched, and it's likely it will be launched tomorrow.

The testnets have already reached about 1500 tps, so the system works.
