I’ve been in the project for over a year, and for the most part it’s been good. A lot has changed from besides the obvious of going to mainnet after a lengthy delay. Some is good some not so good, I personally am not a fan of the push to promote the project with MIST rewards but I look at it as a marketing option to get the project known. So not all bad in the end.
Recent software update to 1.26 for ‘lite’ requires it to run in the forefront on your android device too so something to consider.
