to all viacoiners:

calm down, dont panic. Devs are working on the project as usual. Sometimes slower sometimes faster. Please dont fud. If this thread turns into a playground for fudsters it does not serve any purpose anymore.

Would love to see some more positive vibes here.

Don't forget to sound the alarm when you consider it's time to panic, ok? https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/bittrex/viabtc

And please don't cowardly cry FUD when criticism about lack of activity or, worse, lack of MEANINGFUL activity is obvious during periods of months at a time. And just coding a few lines is not MEANINGFUL ACTIVITY. I don't think anyone is complaining -or selling- because VIA is lagging technologically but, where exactly is this project going? what is being done to achieve goals of growth, adoption, use-case? Or are we just hoping and prying that people will buy into this for no reason whatsoever? Where is the road map and where are we on it at this point in time? Are new strategies being considered since the price has been decimated in the last few months?

Positivism without reason is just soylent green, ok? Everyone would be more than positive if there were REASONS for it. As it stands, there are none.

oh boy, I know I should not feed but here you go:

dont think that btcdrak is your employee cause you bought some coins of a crypto open source project. You should not treat him like one. Conditions were very clear from the beginning. This is not a traditional organisation and you are not doing any good by being "heroic". Call me a coward, I dont mind. I think you are missing the whole point: Your are not an investor, you are a participant of this project. However, your participation is limited to attacking the most active members of this community.

I can imagine that drak is just tired to respond to the reurcurring shitstoms here. I would find it tireing to allways defend myself against all the paranoia and greed. And if you panic, you clearly invested more than you can afford to loose.

I am in the same boat and lost btc if the price does not recover. Differnce is, I  was aware that this might happen.

Having said that, I am quite confident that he will keep working for this project and that via can be sucessful.

Oh boy is right. And spare me the absurd rhetoric ok? This is an investment by any other name and, like I have stated, we are all aware of then particularly dictatorial -and thoroughly unacceptable "conditions" imposed by this anonymous individual. What you simply chose to forget, cowardly or not, is that there are other actions available to anyone, rather than just "take it", alright? You may be willing to lose your investment or money for participating or whatever denomination you may want to assign to it, but the vast majority of the rest are not. Not capriciously. Not because there isn't a community manager (or has gone MIA). In this thread or if necessary in others, actions can be taken if things get completely out of hand. One cannot remain "calm" as you pretend, watching his money literally disappear simply because the Community manager is nowhere to be seen or the dev refuses to come forward and explain (or remind, as many times as necessary) that things are on track and that specific targets are being or about to be hit. Not to mention new projects, features or activities that the most reasonable community of "participants" is expecting logically. There's no pulling without incentives and the contrary happens ALWAYS, when the leader of the project chooses silence. He HAS TO engage the community. He HAS TO  change paths since the current ones are no9t producing anything positive and many things negative, he HAS TO try, on another direction, to propel this project forward, not just write or get someone to write some code here and there ok? And if he doesn't, the price will simply continue telling him what he's doing wrong as more and more "participants" decide to participate elsewhere. That's not being an "employee", that's being a LEADER, get it now?
