@ Generalizethis: what I your opinion about the release of today? Is qubic in line with your expectations?
Personally I think the news is great and I really hope that they can make a nice progress the upcoming months. Yet, most people on reddit seem to be a bit disappointed.
I think those that were expecting a release or some big partnership were disappointed. Not sure why the countdown video was so high production, but that seems why most inferred something bigger than a website outlining more about Q. I didn't read anything into it and assumed the developers were telling the truth when they said that it would just outline more details, so I wasn't suprised and am happy to see where they are heading. I think once more technical details are revealed that most people will understand what the IF is trying to accomplish. Or not, it doesn't really matter long term as the goal is to make IOTA ubiquitous with the IOT, so most everyone using it will have no clue what it is or what it does.
