I absolutly agree with this, and I really think that this is the main problem of this project, that Maidsafe company is not sized or managed to achieve such a enormous goal, with such a tiny developer group.
And this is explanable with a simple reason in my opinion, the blind obstinacy of the CEO of doing all by his own, when this project needs dozens more engineers to work on. They have been stumbling for years, first coding in C+ then moving to Rust, loosing an enormous amount of time along the way, then contracting an outside company to make the refactoring, promising outputs for more than a year that never came out, that proves that there is a totally messed organization.
My opinion, after almost 2 years following the project is that the ambition of the CEO, his dream of been the next Elon Musk, exceeds his talent and hampers development.
And the worst think is that doesn’t matter how long it takes, how many more weeks, months or years it takes, that people will wait till the eternity if is necessary with an absolutly blind faith, talking about “ants are coming” in every update, about the new era of the internet, with out any kind of exigence, because there is not a single sense of exigency, of criticism. And that is absolutly devastating for any project.
Guys you need to look at this thing called maidsafe with a different attitude. This stuff is not magic but a new paradigm. You should have made yourselves familiar with the very fundamentals and basics of these new ideas called named data networking and many other technicalities. This is no magic or not even maidsafe themselves have invented all this as first, but there has been research going on by different academic institutions and places out there. It is a long road, and maidsafe is just an implementation of these fundamentally new and different approaches. God knows how this all will turn out in the long run. How many times the network will fork or disband or rejoin the most promising aproach and reunite deviated side projects and collect new ideas and implementations from others.
It is very clear to me, that your actual problems is the money and idea of money corrupting your attitudes and characters. Maybe go for money hunting in other places.
Stop putting pressure on the dev team people. It’s pretty damn clear where the project is at and what’s happening. If you can’t piece it together with all the info we’re given then you’re a damn idiot.
All your whining won’t change a thing.
You got liquidated on a long position cos you were a lazy greedy little person who thought they were entitled to leech a living on the crypto markets.
Turns out the world can be a cruel place and you were not quite as clever as you thought.
it’a a lot to strive to, indeed, but we’re closer now than we were 1 year ago, and in a couple of months we’ll be in a place of which the team was only dreaming 10 years ago!
Lol, children don’t want to own their own decisions and want someone else to blame. Shameful really imo. I know it’s upsetting to lose money, but you have to look to yourself or you won’t learn from it. It’s like the poker players who blame the site for their bad beats instead of understanding the mistakes they made that left them broke.
Only two positions lost money here… margin longs and people who sold. Neither position has any right to blame the dev team for decisions they made. There may have been some confusion, but it’s your responsibility to understand what is being released and what it will look like and what it will do if you’re going to go making bets on the market with the expectation of cashing in.
Anyone who swallowed a loss and sold their maids for BTC deserves to lose out. Fomo and fud are poor reasons to buy or sell, there is no good reason to sell maid here imo.
David and the team are the most communicative dev team I have ever come across. I would much rather share in their excitement and disappointment for releases and updates than be left in the dark and just get a surprise one day. We all want to know what’s happening because we love it and we care. It would be very unfair for the traders to put the dev team off giving us as much of themselves in the updates for fear of upsetting the ‘market’.
Makes me a bit angry to hear the abuse above considering how much work they do and how important it is. I hope David et al will focus on the support and not let the tradingtaqrds get to them.
There was some confusion. It was a bit annoying because some of us felt a bit disappointed, but it’s no big deal and (apart from powersign) the dissenters all seem to be kids trying to blame someone else for their mistakes now that they’ve sold and lost, or margin traded long in btc boom and lost.
Agreed. It’s very important that we are free to speak up on any issue, while also having faith that we are backing an honest team that truly will not stop until this vision is realized.
It’s a balancing act. Because they can’t spend all their time just updating us on every little thing, or else they’d never make any actual progress so there has to be some trust when they are quiet.
Like because I was just about to say “your whining”
It’s funny that some people think they are the ones who would lose if this project fails. They invested some money, but the devs invested years of work; if for nothing else, at least for this reason consider this project will not be abandoned
As for the “delays.” As somebody who shares in the (mis)fortune of knowing from experience how programming works, I can testify that one can’t look much further than the next few steps. Everything seems like it’s almost done – that is, until the next unforeseen thing that may take between 20 seconds and 3 weeks to solve.
By the way, I’m not sure if everybody is aware of the significance of things like the unquestioning removal of those 3 vault personalities. Any dev team that does stuff like that is worth their money; this will be quality stuff
Yes I didn’t mean to be criticizing as I know we have plenty of ESL people here, but when I saw two people use it, I started to scratch my head Sorry for being off-topic.
so there has to be some trust when they are quiet.
