Topic: What do you think of tokens that did not update their Bitcointalk thread - page 8. (Read 6089 times)

It's not and have you seen some major platforms are not even watching its official thread again let say ethereum tron and many more platforms. The dev has a lot of activities and they are not having the time to do that.
that's not a problem as long as the developer is very active.

I think good projects should definitely control all the possible social networks and forums. Such strategy shows potential investors that this project is strong and promoted everywhere - there are many people interested in it.

Telegram is where most of these ICO projects uses for their updates because of the ability of telegram to create a group, and from this group, any update that is being posted at any time will automatically be seen by their members, but you know bitcointalk, you still have to browse where the thread is before you can get update and some people may even forget to check up on it, but with telegram, the group members automatically gets the update without them having to browse for it, which will also serves as a reminder to them.

We have different social media platform for different purposes, bitcoin has already served its own by allowing them participate in the project, but I think for updates, telegram will surely be the best, and telegram is really moving fast in the social platform now, and I believe it will be the next reigning social media tool if Facebook does not buy it over too.

Projects in general have different channels on which they are active. Although I know it is always expected that every project that want to make it big and intends to get the attention of crypto enthusiasts, should utilize the BTT forum effectively, being the first crypto discussion forum. Well, they might be getting more attention elsewhere and that not withstanding, it is not the best.

I've seen some exchanges and projects left their ANN threads hanging and there's no plan for them to comeback. It's either they don't want to manage it anymore and they lack of manpower or they simply are done using the forum. For scam projects, obviously they don't have an intention to stay on BTT for a long time as they only have one reason of staying here. And that is to make their project look legit by providing an ANN thread. Well some notable altcoins are still keeping their thread updated.

Not everyone use bitcointalk or even know it (for example some investors, im not saying about bounty participants), but almost everyone use Telegram. I also think its much comfortable. No need to read all pages to find some info, just put in search on Telegram, it takes 2 seconds

Maybe they have nothing to keep developing since bitcointalk members are very learnt and do ask thought provoking question that will force the announcers to keep a regular update. Truly, some persons may have been contracted for the announcement and after walkdown they may just move head

If the team intends to be honest and professional, then all updates will be timely and aggregate activity will be high, since investors are the most important and key element of their success and advancement. Non-observance of elementary norms of trust in this case is unacceptable.

Nothing because I don't see that as an issue. The main question is; is the team keeping the community members updated either through Telegram, Twitter or Discord? If yes, then there is no problem.
Although Updating Btt ANN thread is good, but it doesn't determine the overall success of the that platform so far the team is up and doing.

Not quite bad, perhaps they found that their project was not paying attention on bitcointalk. So they focused more on telegram, but if it were me I would still try to attract more people to my project on bitcointalk. Because this is a good channel to attract investors

We could always vote on this topic by using HST decision token of course.

You are right i do not like this attitude from teams as well, if they are serious and professional they should keep their btt ann thread active all the times by posting atleast the important news and events regarding the project, not only it gives trust boost to investors but also targetted exposure to new crypto investors, this sluggish behavior from teams should be condemned as it is not good for marketing aspect of the project.

In case you have not noticed. Many of this token that rush to gain attention on btt stopped creating ANN because they have seen it that BTT rules are not as simple as it was before. Now you need to comply with the new forum rules and since a lot of them are even not really a good one they do not bother but rather create a telegram and launch little bounty or giveaway that make it compulsory for all participants to join the telegram page. And in case you don't know, it is now a punishable offence to participate in giveaway and some airdrops. Spamming also in Ann can lead to banning.

Who care about investors after raised fund ? I think most of ICO team just busy with their personal life after end of ICO. That's the reason why most of them are not updating bitcointalk thread. On the other hand most of them are using telegram due to easy communication with community. Most of crypto users are using telegram. So simply existing and new ico could reach to investors.

The project team more often notifies updates about their project through social media, because in general social media users are more widely used. Especially telegram, the development team will easily provide information quickly. So I don't think this is a problem.

I don't think updating a projects thread determines its success, although it adds to the publicity of the project too. In my own view, what matters is if the team are able to offer something tangible that will make the project Valuable, if yes then there is no problem. There are many who have bitcointalk thread but yet failed and there are many who don't yet succeded.

Looks like the OP is not saying about fraudulent ICOs. The projects mentioned are still alive and in development, but their teams are mostly active on Telegram not on Bitcointalk. The OP is wondering why they publish news on the messenger channel and do not update their ANN thread here.

Undoubtedly, Bitcointalk is the world's most popular forum regarded to Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. This is a convenient platform for discussing any questions about trading, investing, gambling, etc. But the Bitcointalk forum is not a chat.

You correctly noticed that Bitcointalk is followed by robots and indexed by Google and other search engines, so people can easily find the project they interested in and come here simply by clicking on the link.

Many potential investors read the Bitcointalk forum every day, so the teams that run ICO/IEO/STO campaigns are very active in their Bitcointalk announcement thread in order to attract investments and reach a soft cap and hard cap. Each thread is buried fairly quickly, so the team and the bounty manager post announcements very often. After that, they develop their product and communicate with the project community mostly chatting via messengers like Telegram.

In my opinion, not updating their Bitcointalk thread after a successful ICO is not very good for the project in general. Teams should update their ANN thread at least every 3 months. In this case, the forum community will be informed that the project is alive, promising and worthy of additional investments.

for 90% of the projects (and 100% of the fund raising scams) the purpose of the bitcointalk announcement topic is to advertise it temporarily and rise the most amount of funds by fooling the most number of people. then as soon as they get their money they have no more incentive to come to bitcointalk and waste their time by communicating with others, updating their topic, or basically do anything else to the project since they have been paid and cashed out!
they simply abandon everything and move on enjoying the free money they received.

A token or project not updating their Bitcointalk ANN thread isn't an Issue, rather the issue is, if there is no activity in their support groups etc.
Most successful project don't even have ANN thread while most that had a successful Public sale no longer update their thread but are delivering as promised, thus to me that's what matters. All investors wants is good products and services that will add value to their investment or holdings..

They must continuously update their bitcointalk thread because lots of investors are also here in forum, well most project that don't update their thread are mostly scams like athero who already run away with the peoples money. However there's also some projects that are actively updating telegram, social media etc but still it's a must to update their thread.
