Сегодня было интересное обсуждение в slack, скопирую, можно перевести, один из держателей написал
iExec has to communicate much better. I read a bunch of people saying that we should not focus on RLC price. I agree that we should not focus on hyping the price. Price is driven by the market. Unfortunately, communication from the team is so poor, that the market is not convinced of RLC's value, thus the lagging price. What I worry about more is that this lagging price also indicates a lack of interest or awareness of iExec's technological vision and how it could be used to help other projects. How are other projects supposed to put RLC integration on their roadmap if iExec is not effectively communicating its progress or vision? It almost seems like the team is only focused on building something amazing, without considering how it will be valuable to the RLC holders and the ethereum ecosystem. That type of idealism can take a great idea and turn it into a terrible business. I suggested several weeks ago that iExec hire a CFO whose only job was to focus on monetizing the system. I am sure that GF is a brilliant man, but he's spent his career building great computer systems, not building great businesses. I hope that the team is willing to consider advice from the community and willing to communicate better with the community. Had they listened to the community about locking up developer coins, things would be a lot better right now.
At least it is a developed and polite criticism.
But I don't agree on several points. ( I hold 10K)
1- Communication of the team is not that bad, I'm on several others slacks (TKN, Augur...) and there is worst. Once again I don't care about Marketing because at the end of the day clients will chose the best technical provider and not the best marketing team... You want Iexec spend 25% of their (our?) Funds in marketing? To market what? There is nothing to market/sell right now.
I can provide a good example : Cars
Do you really think that Mercedes and BMW marketing teams are the best around the world ? I don't know but I am sure that they have the best quality products on several aspect for their market.
2-I'm agree with you with the most important point: Project need someone to monetize the service provided but we don't care about Rlc holders at the moment (And I'm a part of them). If we really want to make money with RLC we just need a good product, stable, efficient and usefull.
I can agree with you on the fact that Gilles "only" get a strong technical public background and that we can ask questions about his capacity to sell the product. But mate, let's face it, how many projects get as strong dev team as iexec ? Few of them in top 100 crypto for sure.
I don't know how business is working in a lot of countries but in France to have a strong public background could be considered as a strong asset by private companies...like trust signal or more confidence.
3-The team seems to be present in China and Europe.
4- There is (from what I know) only 2 really Strong projects in France around crypto Rlc and Tezos. If they create jobs they will be backed by the government.
А вот как ответил Жиль, довольно таки интересно
Just to clarify things about the state of the project: where we are and where we are going. As you have seen, the team has evolved between the pre-ICO and post-ICO period. After the ICO, our first priority was to make sure we have a good core devel team to release our first version for Devcon3. And I think that we have an excellent one, with very skilled and experienced coders and devops. Since the ICO, we open-sourced most of our developments and we periodically release incremental versions. During the next months, we'll focus on providing developers all the tools, documentation, tutorials, examples they need to port their applications to Ethereum/iExec. Our focus is also on improving our own infrastructures so that developers can rely on a stable, reliable, secure infrastructure to run their distributed applications. So, from the devel point of view we're ready for v1. Concerning the marketing, we're now interviewing people and building the team. At the moment, marketing is basically community management, participation to conferences, content writing and distribution with a focus on the crypto world, discussions with investors and exchange places. From September to 4-6 months after Devcon3, the marketing will focus on evangelizing our solution for off-chain computation. We'll also target developers/companies outside of the crypto world but which are looking at the blockchain tech. At the moment we have many contacts with several companies (some of them are big players). It doesn't translate yet in partnerships, but things will evolve a lot after we release v1. An important point is that we are now starting to build the team to develop v2. v2 is more challenging from a technical point of view. It requires more research and more innovative/agressive solutions. We're also establishing partnerships with the best academic teams in France and China. That's important to prepare now what is going to be released in 18/24 months from now. Most probably we'll have PhD students working on reseach topics strongly related to iexec. I know that it sounds like an eternity but we are now shaping the team, the partnerships and the strategies for the next four/five years. From the marketing point of view, after v2 is released, we'll have the ability to expend greatly our market. In particular we'll have sales people doing B2B business. So as a company, we'll start to have sources of revenue. This is very important for us to keep this objective as we want to provide products that allow to make real business and not just open source software. So in summary, we're making sure that very short term objectives, but also medium and "long" term objectives can be reached successfuly. Of course, we would also like to have good news every day :wink: C'est la vie ! But some very nice announcements are coming very soon.
Сегодня такую свечу красную пустил, что аж не по себе стало, думал дно уже, а нет ещё как оказалось.
