Given the hype with the power grid storm thingy (they even splurged on a press release, so that's like a once-a-year event) you'd think we would have more shit to discuss instead of having to listen to korvas' incessant whining about his personal struggles.
Except there is no follow-up to all that hype. They haven't even announced the details of the ICO (or whatever they call the dark matter thing). What was the point of having a week of daily announcements followed by nothing? Tried to pump the price? Kinda went in the opposite direction. The 5+ full-time employees are slacking bigly.
one concerning point is full time employees bug they arent designing content thats released more spending a lot of paid time on making adverts and we are going to do this. its also misleading as many things arent built from ground up. the crypto pay swap thing is shapeshift skeleton service so they didnt credit it in their announcement of the feature and had it sound like its something they created. did they integrate ? yes nothing wrong with that but i feel they are trying to give investors the perception they arent using tools and are innovating.
many of those powergrid tools will be open sourced tools and apis they skin. the ad network for one i suspect will definitely be. apple have pulled out of iads as its hard to manage prevent gaming and maintain code for multi browser/app support. ionomy couldnt lock a scoreboard down... ads and faucet gaming are way worse.
my biggest concern atm ties in with transparency. there is none.. now where di all that cash go? how was it spent. im willing to bet it was pure wages to them. ive speculated for a while this might be the case. this recent media blitz smells like funds running short. they either get day jobs or get more free money from people to pay themselves. token sales are the usual way so they are going with that. electrons should fund all their systems but now they add dark matter to force more cash injections.
i suspect when funds dry and get low they will start making ads or plans and pay themselves the ion bounty premine to justify. they'll then slow sell to market.
so far still half a game and no public api yet. 18 months later and devs cant go to site and download to integrate. concerning...
