DigiByte Update - #255 - Development progress for V8

Todays DigiByte update has me scratching my head here about what's been going on the last weeks and a half with Jared and his work (or not working) on DigiByte version 8. I'm pretty confused by this all, perhaps somebody here can clear this up for me in the comments section?
You can see the progress that Yoshi has been making:

And the progress that was done all the way back in January:

I was looking this morning for some news about Digibyte and this video is the first thing I see: Public airing of grievances. Is this the way you want the world to see you and Digibyte?

To use a metaphor, a squeaky wheel gets the oil...many in the community are deaf and don't hear the squeak.
Hopefully the developers that hear the squeak will work together. Thanks for your continued hard work.

Is the max supply issue now fixed to 21B coins total and no more?

This back n forth none sense isn’t going to stop unless you guys start communicating face to face or start having live conversations. DMs only make it worse. Pls, for the sake of the community

You get it...the train has no conductor. It's like so many other coins that initially were great and then over time went off the tracks.
Its like having a race horse that breaks his leg and the owners refuse to put it down . Thanks for the update.

there are contracts between jared and other comp/exch/miners not allow to fork it.

Cmon man...you gotta stop bad talking the creator of Digibyte so much.... Its like trash talking your parents to the rest of the world to use an analogy/example... Its just not respectful... Im American...i live in a country filled with disrespect so i know it when i see it

You all need to powwow in person. This shit is getting redonkulous. Every time I check back on DigiByte since it was my first crypto love, I get depressed. I had so much faith in DigiByte but with you gentleman not having a clear leader and a focused direction you’re coming off like high school kids bickering passively about shit. All I can say is get your shit together men! If you can’t then obviously you need to change shit up and replace people. Fucking killing my blood pressure.

Peace and love.
