Funds did come in to Bitbay we have had volume over 40 million daily and have broken all of our records including in satoshis. You have to realize that 150 Billion comes in proportion to the project. If Bitcoin grows 10% it gains billions on "paper". If BitBay grows 10% it gets another 30 million or so on paper.
As for timeline of course, we work very hard and have had a reputation to deliver on features. I think the updated roadmap was recently released.
Thank you Mr. Zimbeck for all you work and answers! If I seem impatient, its not because I am impatient for returns, these will come and I dont worry. Even with us getting our legs lobbed off, I know it will be ok. My concern is simply someone else beating us to market, even with an inferior product, but flashy marketing. I know you work extremely hard! I dont not question that at all. But man I've seen many brilliant ideas get lost... The most important thing for me - which I consider part of the marketing - is to get the bay from desk-top, to interactive.
Example and this is a real example, not hypothetical - I'm a tech idiot, hence my name. I go to the website, and I want to sell a Mattias Heinicke 1923 Bohemian violin. I mean this thing is cherry, 99-98% condition, custom built for my great grandfather. Its 2 steps down from a Stratovarius. My grandmother really needs the money, and I'm thinking what better place to sell internationally. Well, I go to the bitbay website, and nowhere do I see where to actually list my item. So I call my multi-millionaire friend, he says I have to download the Client. Now if I didnt have my friend, I would have left. The front page should say in huge letters: DOWNLOAD THE CLIENT TO USE THE BUY/SELL FUNCTION". Thats not on there, marketing problem.
So I try to download it, I get all sorts of errors, saying I have to disable this and that before it can install. I dont know how to do all that, I'm an old HVAC business man, but a tech ding-dong. So I've never been able to download it, and now I gotta find a different way to sell the violin. So people have to go through alot of trouble to use the feature that makes Bitbay, Bitbay. Huge marketing problem, I'd say Achilles heel. You know many others are also working on similar products, and they may have deeper pockets. I know its a huge step and I know you want to do it, but if you can make the marketplace interactive like ebay, then 10,000 sats is a blip on the screen.
Cheers my friend!
