This is example of one good tutorial:
http://www.dappuniversity.com/articles/the-ultimate-ethereum-dapp-tutorialDCore Documentation is not on that level.
I would love to try to build something on DCore, but its really hard to start.
Information is cluttered and its not clear.
Seems like there are tons of functions and options, but I personally cant get up and running.
If you can point me to one really clear, step by step tutorial, explaining how to build simple DApp on DCore, using JS, I would be really thankful.
Investment-wise, this project is disaster.
Maybe its okay to people who "invested" couple hundred bucks, but folks who got into through ICO with solid stakes and didnt sell are completely destroyed.
I am one of them.
Yes, that is my mistake because I was overly optimistic and believed in hype produced by team:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/decent-fortune-for-decent-ico-raises-us2-million-in-7-hours[2]
https://cointelegraph.com/news/ceo-of-decent-we-raised-over-5500-btc-half-way-into-ico[3]
https://cointelegraph.com/news/decent-launches-go-marketplace-and-joins-blockchain-content-arenaFor example, in one of those articles Decent is compared to Amazon and iTunes. :-)
This is also interesting: "Decent-Stream, a decentralised Netflix with no middleman fees and manipulation is kicking off in Shanghai in 2 weeks." [2]
Where is that Decent-Stream?
Just take some time and read those articles.
ICO is over long time ago, obviously there is no need for marketing and hyping anymore.
I wont waste your and my time anymore, but this is not right.
Holmes70 is maybe too offensive but I can also feel that bitterness.
Good luck.
Yes, DECENT does not have excellent guides on how to work with DCore yet. The information is out there, but it isn't presented in a way which is user friendly to all yet. I agree with you and stated so myself the other day when you first posted about this. I too feel this is an area that the team needs to devote some more time on. And I'm sure, in time, they will.
I don't know if you saw the youtube video link I posted the same day. I found it very helpful, personally. Still not the best tutorial, but it was helpful.
Concerning the ICO articles, you are aware, I'm sure, that this project refocused about 6 months after ICO. I myself was disappointed at the news of this and almost sold my ICO holdings and washed my hands of this project. I understand your feelings completely. I researched more into what DECENT was wanting to do and thought long and hard on why they decided to do this, and in so doing decided to hold on for a while and at least see what happens and where they take DECENT. Personally, I'm glad I decided to wait as I feel the possibilities for DCore now are broader than their original intentions. There are a number of possibilities that were discussed around the ICO that are no longer a part of this project's goals. Some things, such as streaming capabilities, are still being worked on to my knowledge. There was a short discussion on that subject 6-8 months ago in the telegram channel. I am not part of the team, so I do not know if it has now been sidelined or not, or if not, what the projected release date would be. That is something you would need to ask the team personally.
The point is the goals of DECENT today are not the goals of DECENT at ICO. As an ICO participant, the change upset me too, but there were numerous notifications of their intent to refocus and ample opportunity to leave the project with a profit prior to the market decline last year.
You are not wasting anyone's time. Nothing wrong with discussing true concerns, even if ultimately we agree to disagree on points.
In the future, once more tutorial information is compiled and released, I will contact you through this site and let you know, if you would like.
