I post this on some other threads and will post it here too since I believe it applies to Mast as well
As investor in this coin, I have say this, and it might not sit well with a few people but oh well. With an ever increasing competitive altcoin scene, its imperative that development stays fast and updates remain frequent.
Why: because when the devs stay silent, even if they are legit, the price and volume tank. And the more they tank, the harder it is to rebound, regardless of future releases. So protecting the price and volume through constant updates is extremely necessary especially in the beginning phases. So I would urge the devs to give updates more frequently, and be more specific and less vague. And anybody who wants to argue that Microsoft took 10 years to develop windows, should re-evaluate that argument. Cryptos (for now at least) work much differently, and even a week of inactivity would spell disaster.
People always want to dump their holdings and go catch the flavor of the week. In order to stay ahead of the curve, frequent updates, and more importantly a speedy development while keeping the community and investors informed during the process is important. This will keep the volume and price stable, which is important. I cant stress that enough. Yea some hype could be considered unethical, but in the current altcoin scene, its necessary to keep the exposure. Some developers go their way with developing the features, and stay quiet, killing the price and volume. And when they do finally release it, the coin barely sees any movement, because they never established themselves as a major coin to begin with. Only established altcoin devs can stay quiet for a reasonable long period of time without suffering the consequences. Examples of these established alts would be DRK, XC, VRC, CLOAK. All other alts are fucked if the devs are not constantly active and steadfast.
Oh, and an example of an alt that is doing it right at the moment is VOOT, because their volume has stayed in the top 10 on bittrex for weeks now. The dev gives constant updates, stays active and is releasing features frequently. As a result, the community is growing and whales are getting involved. Love em or hate em, whales are essential to get any coin to that next level.
take care your post will be deleted for "Unproductive commentary"
seriously dev don't start censorship, and wake up, or this coin will be dead soon.
vir6, kakp and others are right, why are you asking for donations before releasing anything ? you need to first release thing and give frequent updates, then you can ask for donations and help... i think you really don't know what you are doing right now.
I go back to a post I made weeks ago concerning the recycler. I said at the time that coins should be added regularly to keep the buzz going with voting etc etc .It's only this way you can get people talking and recognising what this coin is all about. Anyone reading the website 'NEXT VOTE COMING SOON' for the last month will just think the coin is dead and not active .Lets get voting again on adding coins, it's the only way at the moment . I for one invested more money in your coin when you announced the new wallet which i know will be excellent when released, but we need it soon . I spent days mailing crypto news threads concerning the coin last month, so have been active in the community as well as investing my hard earned money into your coin. So let's have some updates on the wallet, And please lets get this recycler going again.
Thanks guys for the support,
This is exactly what i keep saying for more than a month but devs are blind and lazy.
First they were blaming the community for not enough marketing, now they say those who post negatives posts are multi accounts, they delete posts and ask for donations.
This is really sad, please dev it's not too late, open your eyes, i told you for weeks you need to add coins, make votes, communicate more, work faster...
Deleting posts is the worst thing to do, someone will open an unmoderated thread and it will be even worse...
I agree that if i were the only one to complain you could just ignore me but please look around, the IRC is dead, no one is talking, no one is buying, and everyone here is complaining, you can't say this are all my accounts...
You need to listen to the community and the investors or nobody will invest in MAST.
I'm just giving you advices because i want this coin to succeed.
