More and more I see CCREV has a great ability to build interest as long as he doesn't waste his time on trolls either real or imagined. Keep up the good work. I don't go on slack as I keep causing arguments due to my passion for how big I suspect this will be but I wanted to get a few things off my chest and then people can agree or disagree I won't bother arguing Or discussing with anyone, it's just my opinion. They are mainly stating the bleeding obvious really.
1. As soon as is practically possible I think the logo needs a rebrand. As a community we never really had any input it just appeared one day. Actually the consensus was for more of an abstract logo. The problem is the Xby logo is fine but it communicates heavily that is is just a coin and not a platform. I look at Antshares and how a simple logo and name change has changed its image and communicates what it is better.
Saying this the shield logo is a bit better but I'm unclear what is the logo, the round one or the shield? Still not a massive fan but at least it communicates security a bit.
2. Taking Antshares as an example again which is being promoted as the Chinese Etherereum I think XBY needs a clear niche and vision. I would probably say the technical superiority is the story but try not to attack others in comparing as it just inflames people even if it's true.
So secure through unique consensus, scalable, and flexible modular platform. Basically a more sound platform to build the future on especially in the coming era of quantum computing, a secure chain will be everything.
3. Sorry to say this but a major ball was dropped with this ANN. I pushed and pushed for a simple laid out ANN to communicate clearly the technology but for different reasons I think we never really got there. While the ANN now is much better and if I remember it triggered a big rally and a big influx into the slack as more saw the tech outlined its still doesn't communicate very well at all and is in need of updating. I know this is in works but after 4 months and knowing how key it is to spreading the word I do think a huge opportunity was squandered. The fact such an amazing project is almost never talked about on this forum shows we didn't communicate. Also I suggest you start a new thread for a new ANN update, just an opinion. I know it's easy to shout form the touchline and not actually do anything but the logo and ANN were actually not difficult things to do and even I could of knocked them out and I'm completely non technical noob. I do appreciate the work going on in area of website etc.
Along with a well communicating ANN we as a community need to actually post here and not just newbie posts says go go xby but have some actual geniune discussions here. Really no interaction here, all hidden in slack. Like I said it really wasnt a coincidence that the biggest vol and rally was around ANN updating and some mild uptick in posting a that time.
4. The key will probably be developers for XBY long term. Probably the website will need some kind of developer section or a link off to a developer website with tools for them at some point.
Finally I think anyone selling (though hardly anyone really) now is a special kind of stupid which comes from being on exchanges like Yobit probably. The real entry to the crypto trading community comes through Bittrex and Poloniex, so until then the price will always get battered around and it's really not relevant. But if I did talk price then its worth noting that there is not one well known smart contract platform under 200m marketcap. So thats a 20x price rise from where we are now. But the more I hear about the tech the more I'm convinced this will be one of key players in crypto in the coming years. A top 10 project. Imo.
