This was a great ride but sadly with 638 million coins in the wild and a market of sellers and very few buyers (less than 2BTC in buys across the markets)it is time for me to leave my bean farm, I had fun with the coin and sent several tweets. I wish you luck.
Good day Bean Team!
First, I want to say thank you to the Bean Team for the energy and commitment they've put into saving this coin for all of us. We are in great hands!
Second, though I agree whole heartedly with the "take your time, do it right" philosophy of the development team, I wanted to voice a single concern.
We appear, for the moment, to be at risk of losing some of our "good will" and momentum. I'm not saying we need to pump the coin, that's not what is needed as this is a great, high functioning coin and people who take the time to look can easily see that... Plus the Staking Holiday is a great way to build community and I for one will be turning off my wallet on the 15th as I know several of you will too because this coin has a great community that believes in the development team and the coin!
But, in my humble opinion, (and if I presume too much, I do humbly apologize to all of you!) all that is needed to maintain good will and momentum is a time-line. Open-ended development schedules (we will sell no wine before it's time!) do not often inspire confidence.
I know that each member of the development team has lives and busy schedules (I know that I could never do what they have accomplished, so my thanks to all of them as noted above is truly sincere).
But, I'd like to see an actual time line. If it is going to take 3 weeks for a website, schedule it for 4 so that if life interrupts there is built in wiggle room. If a new wallet with a built in config file will take 2 weeks, schedule it for 3, etc. But, more important, deliver on that "set in stone" scheduled date.
Don't deliver early, don't deliver late, deliver as scheduled. That builds confidence. That builds momentum.
Admittedly, I can't help on a technical side but if a problem presents itself and the developers need additional donations to solve the problem, I will step up, if and when, needed. I am willing to put my beans where my mouth is and believe others in the community will as well.
Thanks again for everything you've done so far Bean Team! Go Bean, Too the Bean-a-verse!
