I appreciate that Gar.  Thank you.  There is a huge amount of potential here, just a matter of getting it channeled.  Think of where we were 6 months ago.  XBY was an idea about decentralized storage.  In the span of that 6 months, we have had nodes registered, nodes broken, alliances, departures, anger, resentment, elation.  It was announced that XBY is much more than storage.  That storage would be one thing (a module) along with a host of others.  A DEX was planned.

XFUEL was created during this time.  Testnet was started.  Board member left. More came on.  There was a litany of FUD.  777 was introduced.  

Transaction fees were lowered by a vote from STATIC owners.  And now that I understand the roadblock to funding, in retrospect I believe it may have been the wrong decision.  And I voted for the decrease to 50 XBY.  Nobody is perfect, me included.

There was a rebrand to a pretty sweet logo imo.  A new website (yea yea yea, it should have been done sooner blah blah) A non-tech WP was written.  Roadmap.  

Marketing to get the wider crypto world aware of the potential here.  

Even if you do not agree with the decisions made here, the way I see it, progress was made. It might not be how everyone wants it to be every time.  Sure, some things took longer than others. Some things perhaps could have done faster.  I prefer to focus on the future with optimism.  Yea, my wife calls me a idealist lol so what . .

And this progress, leading up to more things here very soon, was all done without typical ICO funding.  Everyone is entitled to agree or disagree or have an opinion on the matter.  But to say nothing is getting done because it takes longer than you thinks it should . . well, thats just too bad
