In the first update of this year, they laid out that in Q1 their main focus will be acquiring partnerships and releasing the mainnet. There is no other thing more important to them. Considering their track record of nailing the milestones set out in the roadmap, they are going to do just that.
Don't fall for all the weak FUD on this board and sell your REQ cheap. They WILL announce partnerships soon and their Great Wall release will also arrive within weeks.
Anyone saying they 'outsourced' the development is a retard. It would be like saying Ethereum and NEO outsourced the development of dapps on the platform. Or Google outsources development to everyone that wants to hook into their Google API's. The whole fucking point of a service/platform like REQ is that people can tap into it. The fund is just a promotion to for the available dev tools they provide. In no way are they asking people to dev or maintain the back-end for them, like people here want to make you believe.
