It seems that my mistake was expecting too much from this project at early stage. It’s still unprepared. I now realize it was a mistake to believe it could instantly change the world. I’m going to acknowledge that and try to view the project more objectively from now on.

This ain’t no get rich quick scheme, sure, but nothing worth doing ever is. Your hunch is spot on though, this network is very unique among network topologies and the core concept is brilliant. It really can change the world. It took a long time to get here with many starts and stops, but it is finally here and working. Look at where we are: Apps are coming. The team is grinding away on the network fundamentals, as they should be. Whales are jerking the price around now because they see the potential. This is only the beginning, we have a long way to go, but don’t let recent FUD cloud your intuition. You were one of the early ones that saw its potential while 99.99% of the world didn’t know it existed at all. Think about that for a minute.
Getting too deep over here, shouldn’t have drank that last beer…

The key to any business lies in whether it can consistently retain customers at a reasonable cost. In the case of the Autonomi project, the secondary customer is the team, and they seem to be holding together well. The primary customers are app developers, but it doesn’t seem like their numbers are increasing yet.
Are the APIs or documentation still insufficient? Or is there another reason?

I think the current batch of devs are figuring out how to do basics with the network, and the team & community is working together to learn from the experience to try to improve thr APIs, and maybe even tweak data types to improve network flexibility.
Once the groundwork is set for app development (improved APIs & documentation, examples of working code) it should become easier for others to build on it. This should happen fairly quickly with Impossible Futures etc. It’ll be exciting to see what people can do with the network.
It’s a bit weird… I wasn’t enjoying the dumping, but now I’m fearing it not getting to 0.02 / 0.01 where I want to load up on some more tokens 
None of this increases the total supply, so if the network eventually succeeds & gets a decent market cap, this dump will have helped Autonomi-optimistic risk takers do very well indeed.

What if this Trading Topic is being bussed by AI and everyone is fighting the most highly intelligent forms of trolls. Well the truly highly intelligent aren’t even engaging, so that equals out.
Anyway I have about as much fiat now as when I first entered into this. It’s a sign… of nothing. Like everything else. But regardless, I definitely want to start investing again. Now is the time.
It may go lower, but then I just buy harder. If it flubs out (it won’t), then I’ll still have felt good trying this out.

If I were you, I would go all in on Fartcoin. If it flubs out (it won’t), then I’ll still have felt good trying this out.

Don’t beat yourself up. We were all a bit overzealous in our assessments of how adoption might take hold. But being lied to, incessantly, only pushed us to where we are. Here’s an update from April 2016, claiming only a minor setback before MVP. It’s been almost ten years of this horseshit. They didn’t have anything and conned a bunch of people out of life changing wealth into an eternal R&D hell. These people were absolutely nowhere near an MVP or alpha and this is their modus operandi.

I was promised 1c!
Someone seems to be lying here!

I mean, you can definitely criticize the time it took to reach another broken promise, but implying maidsafe conned anyone out of life-changing wealth is taking it too far.
In 2014, nobody knew or thought btc would go to where it’s gone. That’s why so many people played with it and put it through ICOs.
Sadly, this current situation is reminiscent of last bullrun where many people here were disappointed how the MaidSafeCoin performed relative to Btc and other crypto. This time it’s way worse in the sense that ANT holders not only are not getting as rich as they hoped; they are getting annihilated and just as this horror unfolds, they are learning bad news, hence the ugly feeling of our beloved project finishing its shitcoin arch. But this is not the end.
Autonomi still is in active development. This is just a phase, not the end of the world.

Really. So basically everyone who ever dumped btc before December 24 is a dimwit.
I understand you’re disappointed, but you rewrite a big part of the story as it please to vent your frustration.
Which doesn’t change the fact that we have been lied to many times and I also couldn’t believe my eyes reading David is disappointed we actually care about the native token. How dare we, lol.
On the bright side, I love how the smart, idea-driven folks in the community immediately took it upon themselves to do it the right way, their way, almost no bitterness, no drama.
It’s inspiring.

I think a more charitable reading of it is that he wishes there wasn’t such a preoccupation with it at this early stage. It will come. We’re just trying to get the network itself more stable first.
