I will be trying to get to forum work and answering the forum as soon as possible.  Been suffering endless distractions, delays and reasons why I cannot work as much as I would like recently, which should be solved in the not too distant future.

If 3.x wasn’t experimental enough for a free upgrade, does that mean those of us who purchased 3.x, followed the instructions, and didn’t see results are eligible for refunds?

I am following what the models advised me to do, which coincides relatively well with what the polls suggested as well.

You should be able to use a shield with it, but given the complexity, etc. I will have to model whether maybe it should be included in this case, or if not, whether there will be special instructions or restrictions.  Good question.

I'm just curious, I have no issue with buying the next one. ?

That "funk" you and I went through was rough. Mine was a good 6 weeks or so. I think it's calmed for the time being. May come back down the road, who knows.

I know you were looking into improving the key script to help the subs deal with those kinds of advanced situations.

I hope you have figured out improvements, so subs like DMSI for example (whenever that's completed way in the future somewhere where applicable), that deal traditionally with higher levels of resistance from many, can be better equipped to handle it.

I wish you nothing but the best, Shannon.

Pleased to hear you got through it. I got through it also.

I am late publishing the 2nd title this month because of the work that I did on making that easier.  The next title should drop today or tomorrow.  And then I am planning to focus on DMSI v5.

I know you all have questions about DMSI v5, so I will answer some of the more obvious ones now.

1. No, I don't know how long it will take to develop and publish.  Work on it has been ongoing in the background because of the amount of complexity it represents.  The decade plus long script development left the script in a very strange state relative to how a 6G standard script is configured, so I have had to spend considerable time making it ready to work on.  I estimate approximately 2-4 weeks to build and publish, but if you've been here for any length of time, you'll know my estimates regarding time are typically wrong to the short side, so don't be surprised if it takes longer.

2. DMSI v5 will be available to those who's first purchase of DMSI was v1.x or v2.x for free; if you started with v3.x, it will be full price. To claim this option, you will have to provide Ben on the back end with proof that you first purchased v1.x or v2.x.  Thereafter, you will be provided with a gift certificate equal to the price, which can be used for that version of DMSI to make it free for you.

3. This will complete and fully satisfy the statement I made regarding DMSI being free until it works.  If this version does not work for the majority, we will consider this the end of the line for DMSI.  If it does  work for the majority, I will consider building one more version in 1+ years which would be a Premium.  It would be free to nobody.

4. DMSI v5 will be built using the latest FRM.  

5. DMSI v5 will be the script of DMSI v4, upgraded to 6G scripting conventions, optimized for 6G, adjusted to add the latest FRM and to make it compatible with Maverick.  This does not mean you can use them both at once; it means that the cause of the incompatibility will be removed, so you will not potentially have the two programs interacting in ways that may cause problems.

6. If there is ever a v6, it will involve additional development of the Key Script to give it more capabilities than v4/5 have. V5 will not be adding anything to it because I need to understand how 6G affects its execution, and because the script is already rather ridiculously long and complex.

7. For those who purchased DMSI v3.x or later as their first purchase, there will be no discount or price reduction if you want a copy of v5.0.  If this makes you pause in considering a purchase, then consider either subscribing or waiting until feedback as to how well it works for the majority of users comes in after a few months.
