I believe by now you should be old enough to understand in such a competitive market as IT industry, A CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
You should be old enough to understand that there is a difference between Customers and Speculators. Even Investors are no Customers. And Factom doesn't seem to have a problem on Customer-side. Or do you know a project that is better on that side?
This means any company, including Factom needs to devise their product in a way it satisfies the market and their customers. If you say your product will be ready in Q1 and then do not deliver until Q1 next year and use whatever excuse for that, including the one you want to make your product better and more perfect, it still means you have a serious deficiency cause you have failed to deliver on time and in the period you re late some other company can deliver something better. PERIOD. I do not understand how this is not something Factom holders should ask about and COMPLAIN when they do not get any answer.
The protocol is not the part of Factom-INC. The non-profit-part of Factom is responsible for the protocol. And what they do is to deliver the technological base and they do that open source, free to use for everybody. And they've never given exact dates. And even if, it would be still true that it is better to do it as perfect as it can be than to rush things out.
But yes, I know you believe more in something like TheDAO, because it was delivered in time. It's dead now, but let's say that is the right way to do things in your world.
That s for your point number 1. Regarding point number 2., what you say is they do not really care about Factoid marketing. In essence, this means they do not care about Factoid holders either cause we have server our purpose to provide initial capital and they should focus on other stuff cause Factoid re irrelevant for anything else besides being burned into entry credits. Again, a responsible company should take care of marketing of ANYTHING related to its name, if it would a fucking sticker with Factom name on it cause people like us, holders of Factoids are very important cause we ve been spreading the word about Factom and REPUTATION is everything in business.
They do care about Factoid-Holders. They absolutely know that ICO-buyers and also those of us (like you and me) who bought on the exchange will make huge profit without any work if they work their ass off to deliver a great project and get partnerships. And that is exactly what they do and that is what the price reflects. If you would have bought more Factoids instead of buying into Ethereum - would that have been better or worse? Take a look to the Chart.
I really don't understand how it's possible to bitch around, to spread lies and still to believe to be right, when there is also a lot of proof that your own decisions were bad and your claims wrong.
So, if you still think my questions about M2 and Factom marketing are irrelevant and we should all just sit, wait and sing kumbaya, well, I do not know what to say about it.
I've never said that your questions about M2 are irrelevant. What I've said is that it's totally irrational to spread around that supporters who disagree with you are paid Shills of Factom. If I would make a list of all the bullshit you've spread in this thread - it would be long.
And your whiney behaivour about M2 - do whatever you want. At least it's a point, because it is late. But if you would be informed you also would know what they say themselves about it. Under the line you have no point. But of course, as long as you don't spread lies and bullshit the best you can do is to continue to cry about a delay.
My advice is: In the meanwhile you could try to find a project that rushes things out. Shouldn't be a problem because nearly all do that and nearly all are doomed. A lot of opportunities for ignorant gamblers to burn their money.
