(copypasted from my original post earlier)
oh, the point of my posts was that clarity should be the most important to the project. It was originally implied (and listed) that they would work on the patent and company registration during the holidays, but it turned out that they didn't even submit the patent during the last period that I asked. They DID submit the company registration, but it took 5+ weeks compared to the original date, when a registration in that country should have taken only one day and around $100 dollars. So it was either laziness, lies or poor communication. For the company and @fish, yes I think what you did with the patent announcement was in the correct direction, but you only reiterated my point that no one (even you) know what's going on with the patent and we will have to wait. The developers has been very poor at relaying information to their investors.
Now as for the testnet, in addition to extending testing and everything else, the overall testnet will most definitely go beyond the timeframe of "march" if the past has taught us anything and I don't feel that was very clear from the posts that you posted. But when there are people like Fatoshi who shouts "GOGO RALLY BUY XBY!!", it makes the price look bad. When people like bikerlezno constantly sells and does insider trading, it makes the project look bad. My overall conclusion is that you, Fish, and all the other developers need to be direct and honest with everyone (that's the geist of it). If you hosted an AMA occasionally, it probably would kill any doubts as well.
And yes, I do daytrade same as alot of others here. I have no need for super cheap XBY because I believe that if the project was clear, open, honest and eventually have a working product, then no matter the amount I buy now, be it 10k, 100k or even a million would make a difference at the current price (because the price will go up when there is value and quality over hype). But with the shadiness of certain aspects of the project, I think "hey, why don't I just sell or daytrade instead of holding?". You can sell and buy 22333228309280823 different pump and dump s*itcoins and it wouldn't make a difference since you can make a profit if you time it right, you should strive to be better than that, not only as a developer but as a community.
also @fish, yes, you're fun to bug
but no, I really do care about other investors and I can understand some of the problems plaguing this project, i'm not really that intent on bothering you for answers (since from my understanding, you're the same as us, just an investor but with a voice), but my focus are on the people who manipulate this project at the higher scale (take a look at the complaints about people like bikerlezno in management for instance who daytraded XBY's own platform currency) for simple gains. You might be honest and trustworthy, but some of the people with the "keys" really is not afaik. I mean think about it for a moment.. when it was at it's last ATH, if I was such a bad person, would I have placed such a large buy order to keep the price above 5k satoshis and take a personal loss when I could have just dumped all of my XBY instantly and walked away? (and even announced the 5k buy wall)
(ignore the points about this @fish and focus on the concerns)
I think your post makes some good points, but there are still far too many real issues that are not present with the platform itself that needs to be solved as well. Shameless shilling is never really helpful when there are both community issues and technical doubt...
Also contradictory to your post, people DID shill the project all over the web during the SM campaign and it DID get dumped from 5800 satoshis...so that's an error really lol. During the rise of it's hype, it rose solely based on speculation and everyone FOMOing in beliving that the CMC reduction would be soon, but after it turned out that it would probably be a while, people sold. So once the underlying problems are addressed, the project will rise for real instead of based on speculatory pump and dumps. And how do you know that some of the developers didn't sell, when people had screenshots of bikerlezno, who is an active developer literally selling X-Fuel and lying about the price when it's far more important psychologically than the public XBY token?
