Are you guys getting close and will you let all this excitement deter you in any way?
I guess you haven't noticed that the devs haven't bothered to post here in over a week.
I so regret buying this coin. It started going down well before the market bloodbath. I bought because the new release was supposed to be imminent, instead we got twitter posts about community managers. Maybe one of those community managers would like to buy my bag? LMFAO
Hi,
I feel sorry for you that you bought at the top of a wave and just before the BTC breakdown.
There is nothing the team can do for you. Trading is based on your own research and actions. The team does not give any release dates, hype or over promise.
We do give "expectations" or "estimations". Even then traders see that as a hard fact and try to hype themselves. Transparency is a good thing in my opinion but not everybody is ready for this kind of approach. Its in people's nature to read things that are not there or interpret in a way they see fit.
You can say a lot about us not delivering DIONS in a timely way but never say anything about us hyping or promising. After three years of developing no project has done what we have accomplished. We have learned a lot of lessons during three years of development. Yes we have thought we were almost there (even we thought that a year ago) and gave some estimations (because some people keep asking and want to trade and make money, not because they really care about the technology), but as always: In the last 10% of the project you spend 90% of the time.
If you have been closely following us and scroll through the Bitcointalk or even took some time to get into our Slack channel, you would have seen that we update on a regular basis. We update like no other project does. We are a very active team and always close to the community. On a daily basis we are present online and answer all the questions we can. So not posting in here in a week makes you wonder...
Did you take some time to see our video about the release and us showing the wallet (working)?
The team has security, usability and sustainability as top priority. Unlike other projects that release copy/paste wallets or broken Blockchain technology we prefer to test test test and test before we release. What if we release untested and you lose your I/O Coins? What if you transfer a document and it disappears in Blockchain space? How would you feel? We do actually care. "Blockchain" and the unique HTML5 wallet must be a great experience for people using I/O Coin and the features we implemented. So every glitch we see we want out if we feel so. Everything a user can possibly do we want it tested.
You go and find projects that have been self-funded since 2014 and are about to deliver this kind of software in Blockchain. Yes, about to deliver.
Like we said in Slack, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc we are in the final stretch and working on the final things. DIONS source code is open source btw so you can check out how far we are.
A block call is around the corner but only if we feel comfortable releasing it. Again, not promising anything but we are getting close.
If you have any questions please come to slack and see our active 650+ community members (iodigital.io/slack)
Thanks
Richard
