Dear Factom team,

this is how real dev teams keep their holders/users/investors informed.

http://www.coindesk.com/vitalik-buterin-previews-ethereums-path-forward-at-coinbase-hq/

The saddest part is that I was thinking whether to invest in Factom or Ether about 3 months ago. I chose Factom. With this kind of treatment of Factom community by the dev team, it seems I made a BIG, HUGE mistake.

Please stop embarrassing yourself, this community looks funny with such childish posts.
Nobody owes you anything, especially for your eventual investment mistakes.

My point was not to explain to you my investment mistakes. They re mine and only mine.

My point is to create correlation between coin success and successful marketing and correlation with its community, something Factom team does not give a shit ATM cause they only care about potential users of Entry Credits.

However, this is something you re too dumb to understand since you put me at the centre of this disussion. FFS, there was no meaningful update on the Factom blog or any solid update about Milestone 2 for months while Ether does it on biweekly basis. Are you fucking blind not to see this?

There is no lack of marketing! I'll tell you my personal view: My only critique is the wallet because it doesn't work for me, but I have no doubt that there will be a better one in the future. Everything else I see as nearly perfect and I see Factom as better and with more potential than ETH. Or more precise: ETH seems unpredictable for me regarding real fundamentals while Factom seems rock-solid regarding it's future. In ETH it's at least for me never sure what is real quality and what's just hype - and there is a lot of Hype. I'm very carefully if I see a team to interested in the price and that's my impression in ETH. In Factom they do what they have to do. You can see that in the Github, but also regarding public relation they do a lot. Just a little overview about the last 2 weeks:

And that's not even everything. Because there were some other articles about Factom and that's just what we see. Just take a look here:

As you can see: They do a lot of marketing, but they won't do direct marketing for Factoids and it's price.

And regarding Milestone 2: It needs to be stable and if it should need more time everybody should be fine with that. I've followed a lot of teams and I can't remember that I saw a solid release without delay and I often saw complaining about delays because of a too optimistic team that gave a fix date.

In general should be considered, that they won't care about anything they recognize as "price-complaining". And you can ask yourself if you would speak of a lack of marketing if the last bubble wouldn't have been burst. The price needed to go down, because there was no real reason for the rise, just a lot of margin trading. And without real use of the system it's all just speculation. But if they are successful in doing what they do, this will be one of a very view projects with real use and really solid fundamentals and that will be visible in the price. And there are a lot of signs that Factom will have stable "real-world-use" before Ethereum.
