i'm not sure why you keep mixing 2 subjects with eachother. (on purpuse ?)
subject 1: is it ethical to get more awereness (in the vision of a privacy coin)
subject 2: Trusting the devs to follow their roadmap. (as you say they will do whatever they want...)
Before investing some money in 1 of the 1000s projects, one must check the team (in this case it wasnt posible), check the roadmap, whitepaper etc...
while reading into a project, you will notice the mission of the project and the vision of the devs behind this project. This can't be argued about afterwards as it was and still is known...
So again, don't mix those subjects as we cannot have a discussion this way.
Nevertheless, we all have invested in this project, otherwise this discussion is dead.
Huh? The only person mixing, or even talking about, those subjects is you. I have deliberately avoided any mention or implication of should/shouldn't, right/wrong, or trust.
The only point I made was that many people on this thread (maybe new arrivals that aren't familiar with the project's history) are asking for things that are outside of XSPEC's vision, presumably because they have not done the research you mention. You might notice that this is the exact same point that you just made--that people should do their research, and there is no point in asking for things that are outside the vision of the project. You literally just agreed with the one point I
am making, while accusing me of arguing two things that I haven't even mentioned.
Anyway, now that we've established that we're all in agreement, we might as well move on and not clog the thread.
