let's hope they will not abandon!
IMO, if a new team has taken over, they should've probably paid to get those privileges, blockchain, site, etc etc.
I do not think that there is a person in this world with common sense, who would invest time and money in something like QBIC, that has had a really huge negative impact on it's community and he will desert it afterwards. If they have done all of this, imo they have seen something more in qbic than us and I hope they will realize it's potential, or their vision of it at least.
I think that the new team is doing something about bringing the community's faith back to the project and I think that all of us, who have somewhat been interested in it, should pay some respect and give this new team some time to overcome the negativity, that was left from the previous team and see what could happen. That does not mean buy MNs buy MNs, just watch for news and make your own decisions.
At least I'm doing it.
