So everybody is talking to move to Veritalk. But it seems nobody is reading the posts there. Reavon put a lot of work in two whitepapers and TJ_VRC offered his help to make a yt-video.
That are just two examples.
The response is poor. If this is what community means I'm scared.
Everybody has at least the ability to motivate those guys with a little "thank you". There are so many good supporters spending their time for free like Xosihc, Reavon, Socal, Kevondo and others and of course the devs.
Even Barabbas is useful for the community because another point of view can help sometimes. For my taste he is a little bit too negative but hey, I can live with that.
What I mean is: if you want to be a part of a community, you should also invest something at least a Little "Thank You" for the supporters!
Regards,
Michael

Well thank you Michael. A bit of good will is always a nice thing... but "a nice thing" is meaningless as far as supporting a project such as Vericoin. Just like those making the "efforts" would do the project a great favor not only if they would volunteer nothing but actually stay away completely... other than supporting it with their investment. Because those "efforts" are, obviously, counter productive. Just like the public appearances of the two devs that cannot stop saying meaningless and, again, counter-productive things. See? if it were for will, and enthusiasm and even dedication, all of us would be Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Albert Einstein, Roger Federer and Brad Pitt -to mention just some examples-, and win gold medals and world cup titles every 4 years on every discipline. Does deserve a "thank you" someone who spends inordinate amounts of time trying to run the 100 meters in under 12 seconds, when his best mark is 32? I believe, other than the benefit of the exercise, which is quite personal, is just an exhibition of complacency, just as eating 60 nuggets per session as KFC would be. And almost equally regrettable both. Definitely, not serving any community purpose of any measurable kind.
The reality is that those efforts by those individuals have, so far -Xosihc's will effect after it takes place-, taken us to a loss of over 80% from the highs, so perhaps we would have been much, much better without any effort at all? Just a very objective consideration.
So thanking efforts of obvious incompetence? No, thank you.
As for veritalk, what can I say? No one but no one ever wants to be in a place where only delusional and mental cheerleaders post. Not even them. Especially them. So if you expect that to take off any day soon, perhaps you should think it again.
Every post of you, Barabbas, sounds that you are a very embittered guy.
You wrote that enthusiasm and dedication are meaningless, for me it's everything. Without it the Vikings wouldn't have explored Newfoundland and Edison wouldn't had invented the light bulb because he didn't stop trying.
If you are enthusiastic and motivated you can reach nearly every goal. Of course there are a lot of mistakes you can make, but we are human beeings so we can learn from.
If the community and the devs are motivated, even when the value drops to 100 Sat, we can reach everything, all we have to do is keep on and don`t quit.
Like I wrote, your point of view is very often interesting and true, but trying to demotivate people is something you shouldn't do.
Regards,
Michael
