1. Your claim against XSN in the fact that there is no transparency isn't valid. Anything on the blockchain is open to the public to see. I think you are just unaware of how to do so. If you want to see the monthly budget report type in 'gobject list' into your debug console and from that output you should easily be able to answer your questions on transparency.
most of them (not on the funds though) and you were right i did not know that command, thx. since i stumbled upon a faucet proposal, i cannot help but ask why things like that aren't discussed more broadly? would make discord so much better if there was something real to discuss
2. Communication is definitely something that we can improve on, and we have made our mistakes on this in the past, however, that isn't to also state that it is non-existent. If you want exact details of the swap please join our discord:
https://discord.gg/cyF5yCA, but robertchung is correct. CMC never updated the supply to PoSW so what was actually swapped was in fact 65m and not 56. The total dev fund is 11.5m and not 18m as you previously mentioned, and the 11.5m is including the hardware fund. Like stated before, feel free to join our discord. Anyone one the team would be more then willing to talk to you about any of your concerns, so don't hesitate to send a dm.fast enough to get on its feet.
i never was aware of the devfund going up to 11.5m. i see it as a communications/transparency problem, since i follow all the channels, but of course that could have been discussed/voted on in groups i am not part of (whales or some masternode owners channel) or just somehow slipped by me.
3. RSB is not cancelled, it will begin when more coins are added to stakenet.io and there is a healthy stable stream of $ flow to do so.
makes sense. i got my interpretation from the anns: "The staking as a service concept has been verified with our native XSN token & more coins will be added soon. This is great news for the community as profits will be put back into the ecosystem to fund further XSN development, team expansion, and rewards for users." since rsb were not being talked about anymore for some time, and not mentioned in this particular post i thought rsb were about to fade away
4. Voting on different features will occurs in the future, when projects are small it is necessary to first put solid development infrastructure in place before it starts to open things up to the public - disagreements will occur and this can be dangerous for an early small project and risk it not moving fast enough to get on its feet.
i see what you are saying, but there are upsides to discussions about tech and perspective as well, mainly that the part of the community, which is not interested in ever recurring price/fud/shill post cycles, would have something worthy to discuss. thinking about it a reopened testnet might help with that as well.
[edit: oh and i am on discord, but prefer to discuss publicly. wouldnt make too much sense to go on about transparency and then discussing in private messages; and i am not active there - as stated before - because i resignated over the abundance of bs(some my own) in those chats]
