Haha. Verifying yourself is supposed to be a gamble (!!!?). Nice joke. I really like your gymnastics. User unfriendly - read this thread maybe? Users have failed verification because they didn't use a single address wallet. Why doesn't the verification handle the case when they don't have a single address wallet? Why is the current tps limited to 10 and why are there no plans to improve that? Why are so many unable to use a full wallet? No optimization plans? Why doesn't the project require Jumio to refund users when verification fails due to technical reasons or due to Jumio's inadequacy? Why has Tony completely ignored the community desire for a more professional/agreeable name? Why has Tony brushed off silvercatman's help with redesigning the website look?
I'm not asking for any handouts. I would much prefer the airdrops and Jumio program cease because they are very ineffective at gaining users. Why doesn't Tony set aside some bytes for the development and marketing instead of foolishly giving away more bytes? Any plans for a secure web wallet? Tony thinks that new exchanges are not necessary as stated in recent interview (look on Reddit), so we are stuck with one low volume exchange that is open (cryptox).
Why don't I do all of those things myself you ask? I don't have the time or expertise and well Tony is in charge of the project. He's also the one sitting on over $100,000,000 worth of undistributed bytes.
Who said verification is a gamble? Still making up things?
User unfriendy? Sure, that's totally why byteball is doing well and has a thread with over 850 pages.
Users have NOT failed to verify because of single or multiple addresses. Have you bothered to even look at transition bot to see this? I have many wallets with single and multiple addresses. Never a problem. What is a problem you have with verification? I would be interested in looking at example or two.
I see someone simply whining. Just like my ex-wife (thank god). If there is something to complain about, she will. If there is nothing to complain about, she will still complain about it.
If you don't like it, then move on. Stop making up problems to try to prove a point.
Really, your complaint now is the website as well? Gawd. Instead of complaining, why not make a suggestion? 'I suggest pretty colors on the site'? lol
Let's back up some of your claims before you keep making stuff up.
Contradiction - Not looking for a handout, but asking for an airdrop.
'Tony sitting on the bytes for distribution.' Oh gawd, so now you're complaining they weren't handed out fast enough?
'Why doesn't Tony set aside some bytes for the development and marketing ' - Do you check? There are marketing efforts and I have donated to them.
Honestly, everyone has their own idea how something should be done. If it doesn't match what they think, most will make suggestions. Many, like yourself, simply complain about it. Have you thought about starting your own project? I mean, it's gotta be easy, right?
'Why has Tony completely ignored the community desire for a more professional/agreeable name?' - Another assumption on your part. Did you consider that it might have been up for a pole/discussion and decided against? Or, just something to bitch about? Most coins that do that are a failing project in hope of getting a new name to revamp interest. 'Under New Management' and 'Rebraded' don't typically work.
'Why has Tony brushed off silvercatman's help with redesigning the website look?' - Did you ask him or want me to make up an answer. Frankly, I don't know. Why not ask him or silvercatman to find out instead of bitching about it in some random post that likely will not be read by the people that could give you a reasonable answer.
And finally, Tony did not say exchanges were not necessary. He stated that exchanges are used by traders and that they are targetting regular people and that byteball needs to build payment gateways.
Just because he didn't fill your thought of what should be done, doesn't mean he said something that shouldn't be done. Basically, it appears you simply read what the post said instead of listening to the audio of what he actually said. And, even if he did say it wasn't necessary (he didn't), consider the language barrier as well.
You're welcome to start your own project, but keep the facts clear. I would like to look at your project when it comes out. I would like to see something made that would fulfill all your issues/suggestions, but please remember, you also must make everyone happy that poses an issue that exists or not.
