I personally can not say enough good things about Syntaks. He is a very upstanding guy and extremely helpful. We NEED more people like him in cryptos in order to help the entire crypto ecosystem!
Thanks a lot Mage. The way I just explained it to someone I was talking with on IRC about the current state of things is: there's a ton of projects coming out with colorful promises and gimmicks. They're failing to deliver or deliver a working product time after time being paid heavily for it. We're not getting paid and we're here every day, all day and all night. We're fully committed to Neos and that's something I think many aren't either realizing or it's irrelevant to them which is ok too. When people get tired of being burnt by these projects, I'm just hoping they finally turn an eye towards Neos and realize we're not going anywhere. Until then, we've got a list of features and improvements to work on. The multipool will be ready this weekend. I just had to teach myself node real quick to work with the nomp frontend.
People have stated quite a few times that it's a matter of a lack of advertising and exposure. We're here to listen to your ideas. If anyone has suggestions for places to advertise Neos we're all ears.
Best regards,

A few months ago, Neos would have skyrocket. But I'm sure, it would suffer in these times as well because of the bad mood in Crypto generally. Many Investors trying to find reasons without seeing the greater picture. And above it all: Every Investor should face the mistakes Investors as a Collective have made in the last months. Most of us made bets on high promises, got greedy because prices increased automatically on this dynamic and it wasn't really about the Product itself. It was about promises, more about the Announcement than about the release and it was short-term-thinking. And in best case the Devs should deliver in a couple of days and they should not have a normal life besides Crypto... Dev in vacation? SELL! ;-)
What I want to say with all that: You made it all right. I'm glad we are back in Bitcointalk because I think it is still the biggest platform for Crypto and it will help Neos to get more Attention. But it is not the Main-Reason for high or low prices. Many good projects are down. The main-reason is the unprofessionalism of Investors. The complaining about Scams is justified, because there were many scams and silly hypes. But everybody who bought them should take a look into the mirror. Investors have to learn to invest in fundamentals instead of promises. They have to learn to make deep research (and that is work) instead of playing Roulette. And they have to learn to focus what makes the difference: The Devs. In Crypto it's all about the Devs in many ways. And in my eyes... you are really the best Dev I have seen so far. I have many reasons for that conclusion. I just hope, you don't get too frustrated about the current mood and some pressure.
My suggestion is what you already did and do: Develop the Neos-Base as perfect as you do and keep it as open as you can to build on top of it what is useful. I think, that "being safe" will become very important, therefore I would like to see a function like 2FA... (I know you said, you have plans for something like that). The rest is waiting for a change in general and I'm sure it will come. It's nearly impossible it won't come. It's like evolution and the time of silly Scams, Copycats and Hype-Coins is nearly done. Projects like Neos will benefit from that if the "depression" is overcome. As I said in a last post: I don't think, that this is the time for big PR. It's just about being recognized and Neos is already recognized. People don't buy because the whole market is unpredictable. That is the sign for the Paradigm-change I mean and it is a good sign for the future.
Only suggestion: Sleep more! ;-)
