The website still shows "ICO bonus level of today: 5%". Is that correct? I think it isn't.
Is the rest of information on website correct..? I don't know...
Project isn't started yet, but suffers from lack of attention from the developers... Pages are not refreshed, no interest is shown even by the devs.
I think it is exactly what turns people off. I, for one, have bought some more CBX to convert to SPK, but am hesitant to do so now, because there is no way forward shown for the project... With such passivity at this stage, what one could expect later..? I don't even know what will happen to the tokens I already bought. A lot of uncertainty, and no interest/activity shown by devs. Why would anyone invest then?
I know devs were asking for suggestions and input, but it is the leaders who should create the community and inspire it. Community will not form itself. As soon as good community is attracted and formed, input is to be expected, but not before that.
I believe what this project really misses is:
- clear statements, and plan, otherwise nobody knows what to do and whether even bother to invest.
- constant activity of devs, so people see there are people who are passionate about this project. Someone should be cheerleading.
So in short, missing both leaders and cheerleaders
P.S. Sorry if I sound a bit harsh. The goal of this post is not to criticize (I don't enjoy criticizing at all). I am just honestly tell what I actually think, and hope my input is taken not as an attack, but as a friendly hint from someone who is one of the investors here.
Great feedback drays, thank you. Although I think it is pretty harsh and overstating in some aspects, there are excellent points made.
To be honest, the ICO has not gone as initially hoped - thats life, but its not a failure until one gives up. No one has given up here. We are discussing alternative ways as we want to make this happen. Now as the ICO concludes, we have some decisions to make regarding how to make this happen and perhaps even more importantly - why the public did not see this project through the same eyes as the dev and team...?
We will discuss, we will trouble shoot, we will improve and we will move forward. Quintessence is the brain child of VonSpass - he has been with the CBX dev team for a good bit of time now and I have developed a close relationship with him from which I have ultimate trust and faith in him and his vision. We need to find how to make that same feeling resonate with the community regarding this project. I believe it can be done and as long as he wants to push forward, he has my support and assistance.
Quintessence is a grand vision and those are never easy or without challenge.
Meanwhile we also have CBX, which was my brain child from over 3 years ago. I have had a lot of excellent people step up and work with me on the project but VonSpass was able to come in with new ideas and demonstrate a leadership role in the project that helped to reinvigorate it. Quintessence is the next step/addition. To us these projects are like children (we are both fathers) and those of you who are parents know how important it is to give your kids every opportunity you can for success. I don't want to speak for Von, I am sure he will chime in soon, just sharing my thoughts and feelings.
