In this thread:
1) People investing in Crypti then telling everyone else not to invest because it will eat into their profits.
2) Devs making decisions, then going back on those decisions because 2 people don't like it. Then, spending 3 pages trying to figure out what they should do.
Seriously, devs, the best way to gain the community's confidence is to make decisions and stick to them. If you want to involve the community, do it before an announcement, make a decision based off of the feedback, then stick to that decision. There have been several cases already where you bow to community pressure after it's too late (such as changing the pre-sale terms after the pre-sale has started)
Disclaimer: I've invested a small amount into Crypti already on Bter.
Stick to decisions is the best way to destory and lose the community. Take a look at Node (Nxtl), devs are tearing the community apart by making unpopular decisions. Most people already lost interest in it.
Which is why I suggested getting community feedback
before making decisions. What we're seeing now is the devs changing the rules during the middle of the pre-sale because they're listening to investors who are only looking out for their own self interest. They don't care about the coin or the community. Only themselves. This is a dangerous practice for a dev team.
Thanks for getting involved in the conversation! We feel that it is important to listen to the community. We know that we aren't perfect and that every decision we have made up to this point internally, wasn't going to be 100% popular with the community. We are trying to learn from these early mistakes and continue to improve. Therefore, when enough people voice an opinion about a specific subject, we feel it is important to take it under review.
The only real issue still open for debate at this point is the cap on the pre-sale. While I know that many asking for a cap are doing so because they want to ensure their own investment is worthwhile, there is a point to be made that we should try to reward these early investors by not overly diluting the market and minimizing their investment.
No matter how we do it, our goal is to make the long term investors the real winners here, not the short term hedgers who are simply investing in the IPO to immediately flip and try to earn a quick buck. Our goal is long term sustained development and growth in valuation. I know it's hard to take our word on that, but I mean it when I say it.
