Hello there mate
All a bit serious with a bit or irony eh.Well, you can say "natural growth" all you want but it isn't, sadly, a 2008/9, it's ten years later...
Better than ICO and hype marketing - grass roots... better quality of follower
What is your idea on how they should have done it?
not promoting your project,
You mean creating hype and false hope so it pumps ...then dumps?
There was no ICO or premine to create a marketing budget who will pay then.
I like the natural growth.
rejecting participating in the broader market (large exchanges = more liquidity) won't make RVN stronger - it's the opposite I think.
Not rejecting. Just no ICO or Premine funds to pay (Exchanges want 100K +) - Anyone can pay for the exchange if they want and it will not be rejected by core-devs or the community.
If\when RVN works the exchanges will list them.
Also take note: it's the open source yet the most important feature/layer is developed as closed source (so-called "asset layer").
I'm happy with closed source for now as this features extensions are unique and the I don't want the ICO cookie cutter stealing right now. I hope they take the trello and newsletters idea from the AMA the other day but release it later which I believe they said they would - that's my opinion as I have read a bit that open source works better in the long run.
I want RVN to be the top 10 coin but...
Me too but I can wait. I'm even pulling out the old and new resources and re-learning coding now so I can participate
It's not the 2008/9 anymore!
It's not hanging onto bygone trends like corduroy pants or business-walkshorts, its starting a the natural way compared to what happened last year with all the ICO and the SEC threats (as the core team is based in the US for now).
Put the code out, build a community etc etc.
