I could not agree more. I can't believe some of the stuff I see in a day; just today, one guy was slagging us in one thread. Calling it a scam/fudding, and within minutes asking how to get back in the airdrop in this thread, after a blacklisting. The guy probably had no clue what DeepOnion is, what the community means, and what we strive to stand for, but he knew for sure he was missing out on coins ($$$$). There is no shame it seems sometimes.
Not all people are such though. Please, don't get me wrong. I sympathize with all those caught in limbo. Anyone who knows me can vouch for that, 100%.
However I sometimes reach a boil when I see some cases. Nobody takes into consideration the other stuff that takes place behind the scenes, they instead complain that we take too long. Because they're just focused on their situation, and their potential loss. So, because of that, they feel entitled to blow up our feeds/inbox/forum/however they can get our attention. I'm sure they would call me at all hours of the day to discuss it if my phone number, God forbid, got out there. Worse, if they don't receive a reply/approve on their predefined timeline, we're called scammers or that we don't care. When if they had the foggiest idea of the amount we go through to GET PEOPLE IN, they would undoubtedly reconsider their biased opinion.
My point? If some people put half as much effort into assisting the project as they put into resolving their own cases, we'd be at $8 already. Think of the project and know that your constant tries for attention takes us away from actually improving the project, and if you care so much about it, as you claim to, you'll respect that.
I don't want to come off as jaded, but people really need to honestly ask themselves if they gave anything to DO, aside from an open hand before they start casting stones about things being fair or unfair.
My Sig has been, and continues to ring true - Ask not what DeepOnion can do for you, rather ask what you can do for DeepOnion"
I am one of those stuck in limbo and it's nice to see that some recognise the situation.
The best thing anyone in my situation can do is to remain calm and make contact, plead your case.
I am probably not the greatest contributor but I like to be an active community member in whatever manner that is.
It is difficult as there are a lot of FUD spreaders who will tell you that this is a scam, I've been contacted by a couple of these people and it does make it difficult to remain cool about it.
But there is a thing about trust which is important and one of the key things is knowing that things can go wrong, so it's best to hold tight and have faith that errors exist and if you're genuine that hopefully it all gets worked out in the wash.
