Leadership is more responsive here than in any other crypto project.
Bux is pretty active on Discord.
In the early days of bitcoin there were no buyers of BTC. There were no exchanges and there were no investors to moan about the price.
Bitcoin took a couple of years after launch to get an exchange people could trade on.
But bitcoin had a growing number of techy nerds excited about the value it would have for society and how big of a game changer it was for humanity.
Look where it is now!
The ANT network could be equailly a game changer for different reasons, which is why so many of us have stuck around for so long.
The fact it is working is incredible!
We are still in year one from launch, with so much more development to come.
I think we need to see this project more like bitcoin adoption than say Ethereum. Eth was just a clever fork of Btc, but BTC was the breakthrough invention.
Autonomi is a breakthrough invention.
It takes time for the world to wake up to it.
As Bux has said on Discord, she needs something more to work with, and hopefully we arenāt too long away from that now:
She is very aware of whatās happening with the token.
They arenāt hiding. Theyāre extremely busy. If you look on the Github repository, David has actually just submitted two very significant PRs himself, and thereās more technical stuff you canāt see yet. Believe it or not, it actually takes a lot of time and effort to engage with users. Itās difficult when you have things youāre trying to deliver.
Hmm, for the transaction reporter Itād be nice to have some EMAID. I hadnāt planned on this project or I would have kept at least 1 EMAID.
Anyone still holding willing to part with an EMAID for $1usd in ArbEth?
Engaging with users is extremely exhausting.

Wonder if we have a little bounce soon mayb 3.9cent first
Iām 90/10 this canāt even hold 1 cent for 2026 bear market
Foundation needs to act and burn 90% of their holdings, they claim they have so much funds, why not make our tokenomics bullish instead of unrecoverable. At least get a proper MM and throw in a milly in the pool
Whatās that mean?
not gaining enough from spread and burning through cash ending up with to much of the supply
Does that mean the price isnāt bouncing back high enough for them to unload some of their purchase at a profit to refill capital for the next inevitable drop lower?
please explain in more detail - Iām not sure everyone out there understood it
pretty mu
yeah
I have to correct myself there is a little more liquidity, on MEXC specifically. An additional 7K until 3.9 cent. The guy that is currently offloading has 700k ANT left https://arbiscan.io/token/0xa78d8321b20c4ef90ecd72f2588aa985a4bdb684?a=0xa82f5e79931a937a59ac9cad626af0a72b30b91f
Ok thanks. I was thinking about price earlier and it seems like buyers have been able to take 2-3M ANT per month. Does that sound accurate?
We had 3M partyboi and a few others dumping over the last 1.5 months, since 1/2 token distribution, something like 5 or 6M ANT.
This Friday thereās 50M ANT being released, and we have 2/2 token distribution coming not long after. So that should keep the market flooded for a while. Youāre estimating more than a year?
More personal attacks from you - avoiding the questions I pose and simply attacking the messenger. Logical fallacies galore - pure sophistry.
It was a rhetorical question. Only the people running nodes overall (and who constitute the market for data storage) can answer that question for themselves.
You donāt know that. None can predict the future. Further I wonder about your numbers there. Did you make up this 99% or is that a real stat?
On that point we agree.
Why do people think I am not? Iāve mentioned in a few places here that I am working on some things. But regardless of my slow coding abilities, why is wrong for me to ask questions of the management? Taboo questions? No - I will never accept that.
Please direct me to those posts by the leadership. I must have missed them.
Let me be clear - posting videoās in our channels isnāt marketing - itās masturbation. To market the product, the leaders need to be pushing the message into channels that know nothing about our project - this practically means engaging with people who have large media followings. This hasnāt happened since years before launch ⦠what kind of a launch was that? I wonāt speculate on why they chose to do (not do) what they did ⦠I just want answers on what the plan is here ā and Iām well within my right to ask.
Discord or here or even on X ⦠when the posts are in our own channels, this isnāt marketing. Speaking to the choir is not marketing.
David did some marketing back in the day - but I suspect he was just invited by various people who were interested in the project. That was fine pre-launch, but now a good marketing strategy is to PAY for promotions - and itās not like they donāt have the funds to do it - it pays for itself.
Bitcoin is a different animal from a different time. There is no predicting the future. But inaction by the management is certainly not helping that future look brighter.
The world has to know about the project to have any interest in it. BTC marketed itself as it was a novel store of value - people were encouraged to promote it for their own profit. Thatās not what we have here with .
Good to know sheās said something about it - frankly though, that statement is simply a cop-out - sounds like sheās making excuses for not doing the work. Marketing the project is about promoting the ideas of the network to wide audiences around the space. There are many many innovative ideas that has - so plenty to talk about and plenty to market. If what you say here is true, itās very disappointing.
If they are too busy to do the marketing - then they need to hire people to do it ⦠however, marketing of a product like this really needs to CEO and CTO (David) to step up to the plate and get out there to push the ideas of the network. To not do this is really shirking responsibility at this stage of the game.
āInaction by the managementā
You good? Maybe try the āmanagement working every week and displaying summaries every Thursday for a decadeā kind of good, instead. Itās not time for marketing yet. āMasturbationā has its place (it doesnāt replace all), unless youāre Crazy.
It would help to hear more about what they are busy with. We see some of the output but I have little idea what they are spending time on and what they are achieving, or whatās likely as the network, APIs, early apps become solid.
All Iām aware of is some folk ready to begin larger uploads, to which I have mixed feelings - and how helpful that is depends very much on who they are and what they might do. Iām not saying they should reveal that - just pointing this out. If, for example they had the Internet Archive lined up Iād be over the moon, but if itās obscure or blockchain only stuff the PR and marketing value of that would be very different.
I agree with that. I was just answering your notion she and David disappeared/abandoned us/the project. Itās not so; Bux does reply to questions on Discord, and David is probably busy with coding.
The forum does feel deserted lately; it also made me slightly despondent, went to Discord to ease my anxiety. It worked, haha.
I fully agree that marketing to us is pointless and the project must find its path to the outter world. We have been up our butts for ten years and it would be wise to face how the general public sees the project and its promise. I have no idea whatās cooking, if anything. But Iām sure they realize marketing needs to kick it up eventually.
Attacking the messenger. Insinuating my message isnāt worth listening too as Iām mentally unstable. Fallacious logic and sophistry.
Not relevant. If they canāt do what needs to be done, then they should hire more to get the work done that needs to be done.
Subjective. You didnāt provide and argument either. I have provided an argument for why they should be and many here agree with me (bandwagon fallacy .) ⦠but indicates that perhaps Iām not crazy.
