Project is really interesting and such amazing idea. It seems that blockchain will be used heavily.

What kind of pointless spammy comment is this? D'oh it uses blockchain tech heavily? No shit, Sherlock.

OK, I get it, bot trying to up its post count.

Helium uses the Agile method of development does not mean they should be accountable to everyone. Accountability is to Stakeholders. If Google where to design a open source tool for everyone or anyone, using Agile methods does that give everyone off the street a right to an update?  I think not. When you pay the piper you call the tune, until then sit tight and relax.

IDK, I avoided the direct comparison of a FOSS project and a company for various reasons. But if you bring it up - I am not sure if Google investors would be amused if they got told to bugger off. I sure as hell don't have to answer everyone individually, but if I told the company I have no accountability to shareholders, I am sure I know what would happen. I am not demanding the HLM team answers each token holder's every question. I am asking for regular updates of achievements, impediments, roadmap changes and the like.

Agile is not a religion, it serves a couple of goals - one of them is keeping every stakeholder in the loop. And yes, I believe that stewardship over a ambitious crypto project also entails regarding token holders as stakeholders - after all, they trust you and put money into your project that keeps the lights on in the long run. If you compare SPR and DASH, you can see what difference it makes if investors believe in your ability to keep developing the coin. Developers of successful crypto projects get paid by investors buying up the coins.

Ninja edit: I know that if I am proud of one of my projects, I love to tell everyone, it's only if it hits a snag that I stop. I fully understand that interacting with BCT (and maybe me) is hard and frustrating, but I don't think it helps just going radio silent. I am invested in another MN coin, KORE and the devs there fire on all cylinders giving updates. And it's not like they don't catch flak heavily.
