All coins right now are investment vehicles/speculative vehicles, LBC included. I still have faith in the team and want to believe this is all part of a master plan...that they're devoting their efforts to developing the project rather than pumping hype and bullshit.
However a part of me is starting to worry. I mean why the same ultra-shitty web site for months? Why no road map/milestones? And why not a single representative on btct responding to the extreme criticism?
I get the distinct impression they want to keep things quiet "until its ready" but with the breakneck speed of crypto that tactic may simply result in a stillborn network.
They have what I consider a great brand image and a great concept a lot of folks can get down with. I just hope, for all our sakes, that's not the beginning and the end of it. I really hope these guys aren't a bunch of aspies that got too many pats on the back from mom and dad.."you can do anything!"...only to realize they bit off more than they can chew and run away tail between legs...letting the project quietly die while all of us sit here and wonder.
The team is focusing on product development, you can watch all the GitHub activity
https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/ /
https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/. The roadmap is located at
https://lbry.io/roadmap - sure it could be prettier, but it actually pulls from real work products as opposed to some fancy powerpoint. In terms of the website re-design - I think it's functional and to the point. I'd rather see the devs focus on the product than trying to re-design the website for marketing/hype purposes.
What type of criticism do you want the team to respond to? That the price is going down? LBRY has an active slack community here: slack.lbry.io where they handle most of the user communication. No offense to BCT, but it isn't necessarily the most engaging place to discuss product development.
I looked at GitHub before I posted and all I saw in recent past were typo fixes on readmes and the like. The website has the same videos/images from months ago...does lbry have only like six videos uploaded?
The live thing w your ceo from a few months ago everyone was looking forward to was a disaster, can't even get a digital camera right. Put in a little fucking effort and stop making excuses!
The public deserves regular updates on the project that aren't buried in chaff on social media, and not everyone wants to join the dipshit circlejerk that is slack. If you can't be bothered to update the website with such basic information...something a person with novice web skills could do in at most an hour..then how can anyone trust in your ability to program a groundbreaking piece of blockchain technology? I mean you all are so busy you can't update the homepage now and again? For really real? It seems to me like you have nothing but thinly veiled contempt for early adopters when it should be exactly the other way around.
The founder of this project is a moneygrabber like the tezos and bancor scum...should have known better. Any doubt I had is now gone.
