i agree with you, funny thing is this - check this site:
https://substratum.net/our-team/ Dan Wiebe is Technical Lead and by far the most knowledge guy from his LinkedIn account. the CTO has has very few stuff there, but Dan is a very good person with lots of stuff and connections
[...]
anyway, the idea of the projects
looks very promising but so far we dont have any proof at all that they can do it (consider the previous part where Dan said they dont have a working program to test at all, so the december demo is clear fake)
ps. ignorance is a bliss
You are right, this is my bad, I should have phrased this differently.
But I don't ignore things, I only try to not overreact, one way or the other.
Ask yourself this: Why would Dan actively contradict Justin or his company for that matter. He may have meant that they
now have no working network to test or that they can't test their newest ideas or that they
currently (as he phrased it) have no way to check if things work out as they think they will. As in 'we currently can't test the network because we don't have the nodes active like in the Alpha Test', the point is
you don't know, as you don't work there.
That said, I think that it is always important to question things and that a community's responsibility is in part to check if a company stays on track. And a company can use his community and listen to what's going on resp. how they are perceived in public. That's why I appreciate their decision to give us weekly updates, starting tomorrow.
While I value this decision I'll also continue to look at those updates as only 'news'. I keep waiting for some public testing.
