I would be all about yelling SAFE from the rooftops if we had an idea of when the launch would be.
Unfortunately, we have already lost a lot of people because launch promises were made a long time ago and people got impatient. The crypto scene has been an exciting place with lots going on, things moving fast and waiting for SAFE has been difficult.
I am aware of high-end privacy concious engineers that knew of the project and it excited them, but for some it is just taking too long, the World moves quickly, they lost hope.
Imo, it could be the same mistake to start advertising to “general interest parties”, the network may not be launched for another 2 years perhaps? And most general interest parties arent that patient. Those that we lose generally will not come back.
Who knows what the World will look like in 2021.
I too have been impatient but it seems, as things generally seem to be in life, just as SAFE is preparing itself for the World, the World itself is preparing for SAFE.
My 2 MAID.
