The listing of the ICO team is something I find quite weird anyway. Before ICO's people got excited if a respected developer joined a coin and with good reason.

It was strange, and that is certainly causing uncertainty in my mind, although I do recognize this launch was certainly born of a marketing team in lieu of Dev team beginnings which helps put things in perspective.

The success of this coin goes way beyond the team, although they are important, and this is what I believe in.

Absolutely, what I fear is the development team is strong when it comes to developing anything related to marketing; web development, UX, backend storage (DB, etc), and apps for mobile devices. At launch they where obviously in over there heads, part of that was due to a MASSIVELY successful ICO, a great reason for having your systems steamrolled...Who cares at that point, the interest and enthusiasm would of rolled on if every single machine hosting something Electroneum was completely offline, the concept was proven, it is alive. Personally during the time of mass chaos my belief was higher than ever of Electroneums success, as where many, it was something standing out from the crowd by far.

As time went on some updates through Richard gave away signs to me that his technical team was in some part covering their butts..Amazon had a problem? Really ? The deployment on AWS was flawed when it came November 1st ? How was it not flawed throughout the entire ICO when record sign ups where occurring. It was then some kind of unexpected ambush of a launch ? Seriously, there is absolutely NO excuse for this, it is technical incompetence at Electroneum, blame any 3rd party till your blue in the face, it matters not YOU AS ENGINEERING are defining the parameters in which 3rd parties like Amazon must accommodate, this was a failure.

The technical team couldn't account for a large number of miners at launch? How in the hell do your official pools FAIL miserably, while third parties pools run great ? Because the 3rd party pools have EXPERIENCE, this team DOES NOT, they failed here as well, absolutely no damn excuse to have your mining pools fail, 3 of them!?

Now that we've had some down time for the team to catch up, prepare, and ready themselves for what is to come, I'd like to know more. Sell me on this Dev team, introduce them on Youtube, interview them for all to see, either they are proud and confident, or anxious and squirelly like they where in the background when Richard was covering everyone's ass during the chaos November.. Show me what this Dev team has, let them kick my ass in how wrong I am about them, make a fool of every technical idiot like me questioning them, please.

There is some time, I'm betting till early summer where none of what I write matters, as the network will run whether run by skilled staff or not, it's when this thing truly takes off that we've trouble coming, trouble I will not take a leap of faith on..I believe in Richard, and I feel like he's not being told the entire truth by his team, because it's to embarrassing a truth for them to tell.

Anyway, I'll do as TheCryproMaster says and move on if this topic simply continues to be ignored. It's sad though, as I have very high hopes, and emotionally I do not want to leave, but rationally I cannot stay if communication doesn't improve vastly from the Dev team in the next couple months.
