The project looks interesting - good job! I haven't read the whole WP yet, but your team and board od advisers look quite credible, I'll keep the track of it 
I dont usualy read the whitepaper too , but by the impression of the ann thread
You are the perfect target for a shilling.
Read the whitepaper every time. It's not that hard most of the times.
Reading whitepaper is better then reading articles, because articles will often voice their opinion or go a direction they want to.
If you want an unbiased information source, read WP
I also watch youtube reviewers who go through a whitepaper and explain it to you and also give their opinion. I dont mind that, because I can choose to agree or disagree.
