Crowetic raised some issues in his goodbye message, which look important. Nobody tried to respond. Some claimed that he is a selfish fraud, but this is a very cheap response.
Do not forget that cryptocoins do NOT assume any sort of trust between parties. Being a selfish fraud is perfectly ok, and is rewarded with money on success.
If there is somebody who is really working on burst now, I would like to see a detailed response from them to the issues that crowetic raised, like lack of security and scalability of the network. I want to see an argument, not howls about that crowetic is bad.
Crowetic was not a dev, not a coder he's an organizer and I've personally heard many devs are happy he's leaving. It's a FACT he used investor money to try and short the coin for his own gain (and failed miserably). It's a fact he took BURST that was designated to go to BURST developers and was conspiring to use it for another project (non BURST). It's a fact he was taking investor funds to buy hardware for his assets that he specifically promised investors it would be running for years and paying returns... only to find a few months later he's doing a "buyback" at a fraction and keeping all the equipment. And you can find videos and endless posts from him pro BURST... saying the tech is great, BURST is incredibly undervalued, on and on... basically the complete opposite of his flaming post. So which is it? That's the tip of the iceberg. Quite frankly if someone wanted to pursue it, this guy could end up in jail.
So if you don't think that has a lot to do with his post, then I guess you've never witnessed a disgruntled employee leaving a company for his next opportunity and taking shots on the way out because he's bitter? The dude is acting like a complete jerk.
I won't comment on the tech aspects not really my realm. But BURST is based on NXT. NXT has what been up to a 250 - 300 million market cap? Did anyone tell them? And BURST like just about every other project needs growth and development. I can post worst case scenarios too... many have for BTC for years. If I gave you a chance to go back and buy BTC at $2 would you refuse because it will eventually have scaling issues it has to deal with (which it does)? Point being BURST has HUGE room for growth before anything needs to happen. And that time it will be addressed.
But if you have technical questions go to burst-team.us I'm sure someone can chime in there.
