I have been keeping my fibrecoin for nearly 2 years, we haven't heard from killakem (Chris Trew), krushang, mammix2 for nearly a year. We held our coins patiently waiting for that elusive update. Thinking that Killakem will probably turn his attention to Fibre when he is done with Blitzcoin and related projects.
I honestly don't give a shit about how you spend your time and I wish you the best of luck, but not all of the Fibre community members were pump and dumpers, not all had ill intentions so some of us I felt deserved a little explanation or at least someone could have come to the thread to say, Hey guys, Fuck you but we moved on a long time ago.
I remember you guys when you first showed up in bitcointalk, you tried to be the stand up guys, you tried to help clean up the scene. In hindsight, you are as scum as the people you were claiming to not be.
Best of luck to anyone that invests in this project, but remember guys it is not all about marketing and fancy roadmaps
If you want to learn more about their personalities and their broken promises check out this thread and its multiple failed roadmaps
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fibre-625k-supernet-fibredark-fibrelock-fibregateway-zerotrust-737771Your opening statement is incorrect, Chris is the only member of the team that still has any time for Fibre, hes active on slack and recently announced that a developer had been commissioned to upgrade the Fibre source code to something newer including POSv3, this is being funded by Chris personally.
Fibre also forked last week which Chris got resolved. I assume you are not in the Fibre channel on slack? The whole Fibre team were volunteers and did not receive any funding but still managed to deliver more innovative features in 2 months than most projects do in their life time. Unfortunately people working for zero pay do not usually stick around so all the other team members have abandoned the project, if you join the Fibre slack you will see that Chris is still active.
I am not sure how my opening statement is incorrect since you have just confirmed what I said. I am not gonna go into details with what happened with Fibre as there is a thread where people can go, read and research for themselves.
I understand the point about the lack of funding, many development teams suffer from the same issue but they keep hanging in there for the sake of the greater good of cryptocurrency. Back in summer 2014, ICO and premined coins were frowned upon. Fibre launched with a 2% premine that went into giveaways and it was marketed on the fact that it was not an ICO. Within few weeks of launching fibre, Killakem wanted to launch another coin named fibrelite, as far as I recall members of the community voiced their concerns and refused to donate because they thought that it would lead to diluting the "Fibre brand" since again it was marketed on the basis that it had a low coin supply.
If you listen again to killakem's interview on supernet radio, he was asked about how much he trusts his developers and if I remember well, he is said that they are local boys and one of them is his childhood friend (maybe it was bobby6killers, it is in the audio) I trusted him on that and thats why i was surprised to hear that most if not all of them had left.
In the same interview again, killa talks about how enthusiastic some members of the community were, when the deal with supernet (another story for another time) and how they came up with the required fibre funds even though they knew that "a pump" generally follows when a coin is added to supernet in those days.
A guy named Empinel " a dev for hire" and " a shitcoin developer" by his own admission created a new ANN back in january and tried to take it over. So if he is the dev that you are talking about then I know of the story of how he got into fibre.
I am aware of slack, what I have noticed is that #Fibre channel is as quite as a graveyard, it lost numbers for few months now due to lack of communication and interest. Everyone was waiting for zerotrust, masternodes and such as was mentioned on the roadmap (june 2015). ZeroTrust came out and it was debunked by guitarbass as far as I remember and the rest again is history.
I trusted you guys because you came across as decent people, fellow londoners. Lets not be ungrateful to those who supported your project with their hash power (0 hash = dead on arrival in those days) and invested substantial amounts in your coin. Spare a thought for those community members who blindly trusted you only to wait for 2 years and get badly burned in the end.
It is not just the devs that suffer, it is the whole ecosystem. It is always easier to lay the blame on the community as it is the case with so many other failed projects.
Anyway, best of luck
(check out one of the roadmaps for something called Blockchain As A service, but like I said it is all in the thread)
Thanks for putting another perspective to this project. Really helps to weigh it all up now.
I was curious about what projects Chris was involved and only managed to find out about Blitzcoin. Didn't know that he was involved in the project that you were left hanging after 2 years. I'm guessing in those years, a lot of projects were "experimental" as the ecosystem developed. Some survived, some died instantly, some just...left hanging.
I do like what STRATIS aims to do and hope that it's a new beginning, and not the same case scenario as the past. For me, it is very important that the core team is focused and not dabbling everywhere in all sorts of things.
