Hi twistelaar, it's not nice to hear you're not happy. I believe that's because of two things:
a. The FIMK exchange rate and tradability has remained low
b. You're not well informed about the developments
As for part a.) I maintain the non-profit association's position that FIMK is not a get rich quick scheme and the exchange rate is not our primary focus. Donations, not investments, were received to ensure the activity and continual development of the software and adoption, which we have done and are continuing with full force. We're doing quite well at that currently.
The exchange rate and FIMK's financial exposure is likely to reflect our hard work when the time is ripe. If it won't, it's ok too. FIMK in its core is directed towards utility rather than bringing financial benefits based on vapor for a restricted group of people. The latter seems to be the case too often with crypto releases. To the dismay of pump and dump sharks FIMK is on the complete opposite end of the value-utility spectrum. The technical term for that is
undervalued. That's good and it's going just as planned.
As I can remember you collected many BTC for the IPO. It would be nice if the investors start seeing something after 2 years now.
Seeing something, I don't follow you there. To improve your evaluation, let me suggest you have a closer look here:
https://github.com/fimkrypto/and here:
https://lompsa.comThose two links contains the bulk of the intellectual assets of 2 year's full time development work. With the constant daily work and regular releases we've made FIMK technically and feature wise one of the - if not
THE most extensive crypto platform and custom token solution available. That's a fact on the tech side, hiding behind the veil of presupposition of 'just another NXT clone'.
On other areas, groundfloor work is constantly being done by various people, and personally I'm talking weekly to prominent players of various sizes and backgrounds in the financial field. Several extremely potential partnership projects are cooking, numbers growing. We've been doing that all the time, but it's only during the recent ~4-5 months the blockchain concept is striking through to the general audience and people are actually showing interest towards what FIMK has been doing as the pioneer.
More concretely, we've been working since January on a new extensive technical infrastructure that'll make FIMK lead the way to the "Gen 3" crypto platforms. We have struck a "secret" deal with a financial institution with whom the new FIMK technology will be deployed first. Details and media exposure will be given when the deal is published and the system released, target is late April.
This stuff is not smoke and mirrors unlike your usual game in these circles. It's not been talked about, because our principle is to work and deliver substance instead of talking crap. Again, quite the opposite of nearly any competitor in the crypto field.
Roadmap is updated on occasions here:
https://forum.fimk.fi/index.php?topic=373I agree it's less than perfectly up to date and the community could use more info. The difficulty there is that nearly all the details of the projects, talks and parties involved are confidential. The next general update will be after the yearly meeting of the association in April.
Do you know WAVES? It's a crypto platform hyping now, with striking similarities to what FIMK has been doing. FIMK has had practically all of the features available since a while now, but without the hype. That means 6-12 months lead time technically to the most serious competitors, plus all the connections and co-op projects cooking, that the competitors have to start preparing from scratch.
I hope this update helps with the awareness of the FIMK status within the still limited bunch of followers. Thanks for bringing up the need, twistelaar.
You have Lisk visibly in your sig. Are you a member of the Lisk team? Good name BTW. Lisk. Fimk. Find the two differences
