I believe I speak for every member of the team to apologize, as we did not stick to our (announced) schedule. We haven't been at our best to describe what is going on internally as we are a dynamic multinational team, with development of various portions of the service taking place across multiple countries (Hong Kong, Switzerland, Russia and United States to name the few).
The server-side side of the project is well developed, while it took us some time to get the consumer version of the app accepting IoT data, FB into our API. Having stated that, the Alpha is coming.
Team,
We understand that you are working hard for the success of your project. But you must also understand the success depends on the success of the ICO and thus investor confidence in you. And I think it doesn't take much of your time to communicate to the stakeholders and address their concern.
If this is happening at the ICO stage, what response should we expect after ICO is over?
You are correct. I would say we are opening up as the time goes by, and already now the amount of information shared is more than we did four weeks ago. What is changing is the way how we communicate - we have dedicated staff for Telegram (almost 3000 people there), here at Bitcoin talk (both here and in the bounty thread), we are looking into re-opening Slack or collaborating with different ICOs on the open sourced platform (Slack turned crazy after both Roger and I saw our doppelgangers sending private messages asking for ETH - with anti-spam mechanisms doing nothing).
We've focused a lot of making the public sale available to as many countries as possible, and have looked into every possible angle, including a two tiered approach. It is just that the legal and audit services (we hired two of "the big four") aren't moving as fast as this community (or us as a startup) would like. They are moving in a way which takes us as a very serious startup, and I am really happy that we will have an announcement shortly (actually, several of them) which will show just how serious of a company we are.
Look up into the sky, and there's Datum there. Stay tuned.
And if you want to talk, we are easily reachable here (send a PM), on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Telegram, email etc.
