yeah, i know that we have possibly the best/nicest community in crypto, but i can't help but wonder that if we were more vocal about seeing some results that we might have more in front of us.
We had a "hopefully before Aug 1st" date most recently set, and that's now come and gone.
For a coin that launched in March, like virginia slims, we've come a long way baby. We deserve a break.
It's more than about time to get some results, if indeed there's been 6+ members working on this project for the past 4.5 months, then there should be some VERY significant progress that's been made.
look at what Cloak has managed to accomplish in just a month, with a 7-man team they've totally taken over with not only new products and services being released frequently, they even have new services being announced just as frequently, keeping investors on the bandwagon. We need that with octo. We have no buzz, we need to start beating that drum or we're going to be old news before we've even broken any news. A 6-month old scrypt coin? yawn. Call me cynical, but i'm talking as an investor in octocoin, as all of you are, this comes from a good place, tough love as it were. I know we're all friends, but business is business. Not like i could dump if i wanted to because we have zero volume. People talk about a "big dump" the other day, really? that was like 10,000 coins? that's a big dump? there's over 35,000,000 coins already mined, we should be able to take a 10,000 coin dump every few weeks without making it a thing. This is indicative that we're stagnating, and we need some upward momentum. we need it like Vin Diesel needs another fast and furious movie, desperately.
At this point, i'm not even sure that 1 service being released would even do anything, if after 4.5 months 1 service comes out that's good, but not spectacular, then it could come off as ho-hum. I'd almost say start stacking services/products right now, and release like 4 of them at once, then DESTROY THEM with a co-ordinated multi-strike PR campaign, then release another 4 in the future (assuming the 8 thing).
quit pussyfooting around. let's see some goods.
your octofriend, slickypoo
p.s. to the guy that made the wallpapers, i've finally found something to replace the Shepard Fairey octo remix with, i went with green velour, vrry nice
