I kind of like that the dev doesn't get involved in all the butthurt, and just replies to those who actually need support. A roadmap would be welcome, sure.
That is correct. The dev is a developer, not a marketer, not a social media guy. I am privy to some things he and his team are working on which could be very big for BitAsean but at their request I can not speak about them. When they are ready they will be announced. In the case of BitAsean, silence is not inactivity. The dev interacts when it is necessary to help someone with something technical or with the coin swap but they are not here to hype people up or hold their hands. The future will be bright enough for the people who are patient. There will be news throughout 2018 and perhaps an updated roadmap as well. That's all I can say.
I understand but the community is also a very important part of the project. Perhaps dev can hire a marketer to do this kind of job for him, it is easy to go that way.
