As for "development", within this long tirade you gave - you failed to mention one thing. People choose stable codes, and are maybe nerds who are more accustomed to code than people. True! But then thumb rule for "IT project development" is you have your dev ready and available for at least 24hrs post release for debugging any issues. Thats the critical timeframe. Or do they just release and go to sleep? This is where the team fucked up.
The last thing: I am never surprised when people go on this defence after getting paid. Its rather this kind of argument which leads to most shitcoins foster in the crypto world. The so-called "dev" must be paid for his efforts even if he is incompetent to release the correct code upfront. Yep, he is working, he is working, he is.....and then disappears with the money.
I can assure you many people were ok with syscoin stating clearly that the certs might not work on launch. Its not this bs.
Respect for this. It could have been managed a lot better. Still, really hard to sleep when you're bugged out worried about code and deadlines. Hell, I went to bed after staring at the sys code for four hours last night, and I'm just an investor.
It was pointed out earlier though that A) the devs only got a portion of the ICO btc, 250 of the 1500 (the rest was still held by moolah), and B) they said they gave it all back. I'd trust their statement until I hear differently from moolah.
Well thats why you contingency plan things out. In projects I handle, we have at least two dev (even if we have teams) take care of things. One is told to go home and rest while other works on the implementation. After the implementation there is an overlap where things change hands. Considering the amount being put in, I am just finding it incredulous this dint happen. And hence my query still stands, who is being paid what within the syscoin ecoststem. What is the dev's pay and what is PR's pay? It will make couple of things clearer - a. Did we actually have a team or did we a solo man mission. If you are from IT, you will understand what kind of risk latter poses. b. If a team, why was everyone let go after implementation. As you said in the last post, real world is not same as controlled test envs. Problems should have been expected.
Trust is not only built on whether they ran away with the money or not. But also whether they can deliver and action things properly in the future. Until I hear how this fiasco came about, specially the lame excuse about dev is sleeping, its not really enticing much confidence. I would rather take refund from moolah if they are ready to. So yes, I too don't believe they ran away with the money but no there is not much confidence in project management from syscoin team.
PS: And with this they have left their coin vulnerable to dump and FUD. What is following right now is what happens when you miss "risk management" in your projects. So me or you talking and arguing or calming people is not going to help. As I said earlier, even if they fix it, there will be a huge dump from eager people who were unable to take out their coins earlier. Call it FUD, if you will but thats the truth.
