I would like to send a rather long article/message to all the people out there especially those that have been doubting this coin and spreading FUD, and thank the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that has come along. I would also like to thank the strong people of this young but incredible XC community. It has been a stressful start, but a successful one! This message/article will sum-up everything that has happened today and relate it to what has been said before.
The dev ATCSECURE and the dev team have promised that they will deliver this technology in 3-4 weeks. Now after so much demand, FUD and crisis, ATCSECURE has decided that it would be better for the community to have some proof that his project is well in place and is working, in order to calm things down and provide people with proof that indeed this will be a revolution.
First, people were ok and decided why not a test group of 5. After these 5 people claimed it was working, and even with all the proofs and screenshots, others claimed that if that is the case they wanted to try it themselves. No problem, devs responded and established that (next point).
Secondly, atcsecure in freenode #XCofficial was criticized constructively in that he was told if this technology is working why not try more than just a group of 5. He then responded again and gave access to EVERYONE! So at least more than 30 random people tested this if not a lot more (including myself).
Thirdly people claimed it was easy to fake the unknown in wallet, not only is this criticism undermined by the second point because everyone could test it themselves, but the dev also proposed even a bounty for someone to create a blockchain and that they would use that to prove that this isn’t a simple fake.
Fourthly even a teamview has been established to prove this and all went well.
What more do you want? Do you expect the dev team to send you the source code now and destroy all their investments? No, that’s not smart and will not happen because everyone deserves to be rewarded for the faith they have put in this project and its community.
Listen people, be objective and use your analytical skills (aka your brain). This project was to be implemented in 3 - 4 weeks from now, now everyone who wanted has tested it and it has been proven to work. It is easy to criticize and especially to say shit, but it is extremely hard to build something fruitful. There can't be anymore FUD, constructive criticism has been welcomed and addressed as has been proven in this article. I’m sure more criticism will come, but that is absolutely normal as any innovative, quality and revolutionary project does receive a lot of criticism in its start.
Yes there are still some issues with POS/staking in some wallets and some minor other problems (which will be addressed progressively), but how do you expect a coin that is not even 4 weeks old to be perfect? Especially after bringing such innovative technology and having to deal with all this criticism and add more days of work to address issues such as these that have been addressed now. Now give the devs some space and time to implement their project and work on the coding, marketing etc. as they watch the price skyrocketting...
That is my position right now, and yes I will continue to invest and trust in this community as they have been successful in every way and have been on schedule!
Thanks solid12345 for this, which adds to what I have said and proves that the dev has been on schedule and has fulfilled all his promises:
‘OMG this dev is fake, he'll never have a wallet by Sunday!
- check, wallet on Sunday
then
OMG this guy is not Dan Metcalfe, that is just speculation, he is probably some kid
- check, Dan Metcalfe updates his linkedin
OMG there is a one line mention of fedoracoin, sell, sell, sell!
- check, Mindfox looks at the code and confirms it's not fedora's.’
Cheers to the community and to all the people who have faith in it! Good luck to the haters, we are a respectable community!
