Besides the little volume, I see a bit of interest in the project here in bitcointalk, doubts should be made in Discord?
Everybody is just waiting until Cryptocoderz fixes the current problems, there is not much we can do here. On Discord you have about the same situation, plus some more moaning and FUD. Everybody agrees that things need to change, and the team says that they need more time. So that's all we got.
