Why are the rest of your team members just cartoons. That sure does not give other people confidence to invest their resource into the project. Does it?
Once we have a secret development, we have specific team members. Something like this. I pass by such projects and advise others to do the same.
Openness to community is most important.
There is no secret development. It was not my choice to not announce on BCT but other places. This was a decision of the founders who left the project and I took over. I decided switching bases from Turtlecoin to Monero would helps achieve our goals in the fight against pools and GPUS. Does a coin have to announce here on BCT or its a scam? BCT is the end all authority?
Silly Silly Logic
haha nah u good
RVN for example, there was no ANN at the start, Kai, a community member (that learned about the project directly by scrolling on github) that then made the discord and wrote the first community ANN was the one sharing that on bitcointalk
i remember always almost triggering Bruce Fenton by saying things like "Overstock ninja mined RVN", which was a joke to poke him but technically, according to the bitcointalk mentality, some would consider that accurate
but it aint accurate, cause it was announced in alot of different places, event were made before launch and such
Heck, even Satoshi didn't announced on bitcointalk, he made the forum later on and the source code wasnt even on github but sourceforge it's just that some people can be very very close minded.
So yeah, don't worry, u good :3
I have never quite understood how this one forum ever got to be viewed as the de facto singular source for all things crypto-related. And, given the high percentage of scams and attempted revivals of long-dead projects, those who DO have something of value to post here are pretty much tossing their needle into a haystack of rubble and refuse.
But all in all, I agree on what you wrote above. I'm not trying to discredit any project doing good work. One should just be prepared that people will google just about anything to find dirt, so better to get it out from the beginning.
