Update:
wow, thanks everyone who replied, I was busy today again then saw the 16 pages of comments, I do not yet have time to ever read through them, but I promise I will read everyone's comments (but I probably can't reply to everyone). I have read however the first 3 pages, and, along with the poll results, I get the general feeling that people do not want it to be released until it's finished. I saw a lot of "release it privately to trusted devs", my answer to you is : Yes, it is already in the hands of a few devs that I trust and while I have been busy for the past 2 months, they have continued their work on getting code execution working (and they made incredible advances since I left). I am hoping to see them unlocking the missing piece in the coming months, and hopefully by then, I'll be free again to help them and continue working with them!
I am still undecided but I'm very happy to see that many people are patient and believe in the "don't release until it's done", and I didn't see people whining about it taking so long (well I didn't read all the comments yet ) and i believe that my choice now is torn between "release when it's done" and "release in a few months if no new exploit is found", but I will not make any decisions for now, I will give it time and we'll see how it goes.
Thanks again for sharing your opinion with me. I hope that everyone will be happy and nobody gets disappointed when it's released (hopefully with code execution)


Hello all,

I decided to post here because I needed a poll and I would like to have everyone's opinion.

As you all know, I have had a 'half jailbreak' ready for a few months now, I can install what I want on the ps3, even with the latest firmware version, but I cannot run the apps (unless they are real demos of course)... I started working on a way to find a new exploit in order to run the apps on 4.x but in the past 2 months, I've been very busy with work and with life and I haven't had any time to look into the ps3 hacking at all.

So now, I have a dilemna: I have this tool/code that can be useful to some people, but if I release it, sony might block it in their next version so the jailbreak will not work anymore., On the other hand, I'm not working on it anymore, and I don't want all those months of work to be wasted... And finally, there are some other talented devs that are working on trying to get code execution working... so what to do ? release my stuff as is and that's the end of it ? wait until I have more free time to finish it or until someone finds a way to make it into a full jailbreak ? wait for a few more months until a 'timeout' then release it as is no matter what happens ?

I'd like to point out that if I release it now, the most probable result is that: no one will use it, most will consider this completely useless, and sony will prevent it from being used on future firmwares. But at least, people will stop annoying me on twitter asking for a release (I wish! I bet that won't stop them!), and I'll stop being treated as a 'fake' (even though I don't care about that). Mostly I want to fulfill my promise of "I will release it" even though I wouldn't be fulfilling the "when it's ready" promise.
So.. what do you think ?

p.s: Note that the poll is just to better understand what the community wants, the results of the poll will not necessarily dictate what I will do, so even if 100% say release it now, it doesn't mean that I will release it now, I will simply take that into consideration before making a decision.
p.p.s: Other than voting in the poll, of course, you can also give your opinion as a comment to this thread.

Thanks,
KaKaRoTo

lol i thought someone had set up a troll account when i seen the title.

Personally i dont think you should release it, people need to learn to be patient, after Sony frightened everyone away, there is no one left do do anything,so take your time and release when you are ready.

If you're still planning to work on it, i'd say just keep until it is done or until you get tired. Whenever you feel like you don't want to continue, release it for others to look at and hopefully continue.

I see this can be a really tough decision. But if your not working on it, then its sorta a waste no? I mean, could you release it to trusted devs of the scene only and maybe they can finish where you left off? (Unless the people currently working on the code execution are the only devs around :d )

[ploggy]

I'd say instead of releasing it to the public (and probably end up getting patched) you should find out who could possibly take it further and release it to them?

kakaroto,

while i understand your thought process you can wait to release b/c like you said if you release not it could be blocked in future firmwares, then we are back at square one who care about all the leechers on twitter (i do follow you btw) i'll be willing to be that all the "when is the next CFW?"criers never seeded back anything i for one am telling you to wait till you have more time or nvr at all but that's my 2 cents worth

Don´t release it man. Regular people just know how to troll dev´s work and the one´s that are/will/were working on it are talented enough to do the job (or not, but it they can´t, who will?). So, keep it to yourself and to those who wants/can help.

[PsDev]

I'd say release it privately to a majority of respectful patient people. I for one am not part of your project. I have been constantly spammed about it 10-20 tweets a day bout you on average, it's truly sickening!!!

[pledo2000]

I've been following you and your work. I think you should release it, let's see what other devs can help with. Maybe it will breath some life into this dying scene.

i say dont release it till devs can run apps etc on it , what normal people going to do with it nothink and like u said sony will block it , people can already test the apps, if they think they works out how to run app on 4.11+ via data transver from 3.55 cfw to 4.11 ofw thats if they got 2 ps3 though
