I am going to leave my opinion here.
I have been with HUSH since the beginning, hardly contributed, but its potential was noticeable. I have seen people come and I have seen people go. I become more invested when radix42 signed up as the lead developer, but I also mostly withdraw when he moved on. Nonetheless, I was happy to see where the remaining core developers could take HUSH, BTCH were certainly a surprise announcement with many unanswered questions which I expected to be answered once we have succeeded the snapshot.
So here we are today… a HUSH team with only web developers and no certainty on how things will pan out tomorrow.
There is history here, Madbuda and Leto ramped up the explosiveness, but there is still time to correct the errors made. I am glad that there are team members who are transparent with the community, but this must be the norm in all honesty. The team needs Leto, he is the BTCH/HushList man, and he needs to make this happen as promised (or communicated).
I don’t know where the team is standing with Madbuda, I did notice that he removed his scam-related comments on reddit, but the team needs to see whether he is still essential to the development or replaceable. Talk with each other in respectable terms, work it out, do the housekeeping. By observation, I can see that he contributed much to providing hosting services. Ask the community to help or assist where possible with the chores. You guys need to ask or else nobody will provide their ‘available’ resources.
Look, nobody will ever agree to everything, there will always be disappointments, but the team needs to work to their strengths. In practical business they use the ugly word, ‘synergy’, but you need it, especially considering that everyone is working remotely. The team needs to be a whole than to be in pieces.
Then there is HushNG, it is a core ingredient to HUSH’s selling point. Attention is needed…
good point
Lastly, update the community and investors on the airdrop, timelines, etc. build a vision that people can see themselves contribute and relate to, make use cases, put some cases into early production (e.g. HushNG’s messenger service), etc. only then will people hold and buy in. Under correction, Telegram has a similar idea with TON, beat them to market, create a product that you and the community love.
As much as this development is community-orientated, it will grow, and it will become competitive.
You need to start as soon as possible.
