With the existing team, this project will never come back.
The potential would be there, but it is not being used.
It is so sad.
An example: communication. Especially the website. Nothing is going on!
I'm not the only one who notes that the website gives away a lot of potential. About 19 months ago I wrote a critical post on the website (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.46793890). 19 months ago and the website still looks like this!
"Simplicity is beauty" - ok - but the website is just too slow. In my professional career I have never seen a website with a Google Pagespeed index of 9. NINE out of 100! Check it out for yourself:

Good luck, Tony!
It's a single page landing page, what do you expect there to be going on? Fireworks? Maybe you are looking at some odd translation of that page that still uses the original design.
There is nothing wrong with the English landing page, I have the slowest package (10/10) that my ISP offers, the DOM loads in 2 seconds and all the content on that page in 7 seconds. Which is totally fine, because by the time you read the first sentence, all content has been loaded. All the tools like Google PageSpeed are good as long as you understand what and why it reports, there are many things there that doesn't apply or would not have much effect when solved.
There is a new website being built as we speak that doesn't use the single page format anymore, but separates the content to multiple pages.
Your claim that nothing is going on the website is totally false, there is so much added there over time that there is too much content for single page.
You are complaining about the speed of the page because there has been so much going on, everything that Obyte can do has been added to single page.
Having worked in digital agencies over 5 years, it's difficult to take you seriously if you think that getting an expensive web design will magically turn everything around. The goal of the website is to communicate information, which Obyte website does, but has out-grown because there is too much information for a single page. The goal of the website IS NOT to be redesigned to latest trends all the time, so it would look like there is something going on. Single page website is not a cheap Wordpress theme, it has been a trend for website design with little content since 2012.
