be careful with "longterm", sometimes it is really looong term
Beside all the great tech and its potential some critical view is still necessary:
In my opinion there was no need for such a hurry for the last announcement, it was way to early.
Team has stolen their own time and room for growing and for making the bridge to real customers aka real world bussiness.
Having the best and the greatest tech doesn´t mean anything if you can´t reach the people which should pay for this service.
While poly and freya made a good job for the inside communication, reading between the lines it now can be seen there is a gap between tech and real business.
Here I´m wondering again, shouldn´t Trew better use his time for lobbying for real businesses instead of 18 and more hours at slack? At least he should looking out for someone that can do this.
Maybe than one can see a stronger support at trex´s buy side.
this is the most used excuse for typical tech startups, which don´t have a concrete BUSINESS strategy.
Announcing a finished product and than looking out for Devs via twitter sounds pretty planless.
Shouldn´t it the other way, 100 or more devs should know beforehand that something great is coming!
So my legitimate fears is simple that the same will happen with corporate bussineses
back to my first class lounge at the airport, how would you explain a decisionmaker from a large or midterm company your product?
"you can deploy your own dApp on a sidechain, and its great!" or would you have arguments what he can reach, what´s the benfit and so on.
This answers should already exist, beforehand, if a strategy for the (a) target group would exist.
I´m not here to being right but looking at trex, til now it´s just an investors party, nothing coming from others.
Time to make it right!
You're aware of how business works, right? You don't usually go to a sales pitch with thin air.
Can't wait to see what else Chris and the team have coming up this week, always something brewing
You think you gave an adequately answer?
make a hypothetically experiment:
every member on slack is obtained for 10% commission for each sold and used token by a bussiness or company which he/she won as a customer for Stratis.
How many customers would YOU win? How many customers would the whole slack community win?
All I´m saying is that this early last announcement was strategically very awkward and planless....it was emotional and childish and brought nothing.
I repeat myself: they have stolen their own time to work out this weakness in their concept. This needs time. Much time.
