Agreed with BitcoinDad with what he said regarding RaiBlocks on shitcointalk. let me paraphrase:
He's not happy (neither are investors) with the way RaiBlocks is being handled. Too much dev time spent on faucet and supporting this captcha distribution and not on the tech.
Proposal:
- Turn off captcha/faucets for XRB indefinitely
- Burn the rest of the supply
- Focus on getting XRB the liquidity it needs (and making investors happy) by applying to exchanges now rather than later
- Work on the development of the coin itself, not the irrelevant faucets.
Distribution is already at a good place. Imagine if all the dev time that was spent on faucets and reworking the captcha claims was instead spent on improving the tech of RaiBlocks - we could easily be a top 100 or more coin. Burn the remaining supply, talk to exchanges now (instead of later) and focus efforts on development.
Its probably worth me answering a few of these concerns. You'll be all glad to know that the last month has been really productive, while the faucet has been an issue this is only run by two of the developers. The rest of the developers are working on exactly the elements that people are asking about. A team has been put together and has been for the last 2 weeks contacting exchanges though we can not discuss this further at the request of the various exchanges we are making contact with.
There has also been progress with developing a light wallet and also adding a twitter retweet reward system (where you can setup a bot to reward retweeters with instant XRB) - the Dev team recognise that for true value there needs to be uses...
Finally we have hired 4 community managers to help and support the community - its time to step up the game now, to move up from being an amateur coin to something more serious.
Hope that helps
