Thing is Tonych works very hard compared to most devs and is of course smarter than 99% of other devs too.
Needs to be more of a team player than lone wolf. Community and trust is important to gain the network effect that is lacking here.
And what are you basing this opinion on? Do you have first hand experience working with Tony or you just like to speculate and talk how things should be?
My experience as developer has been totally different with Tony. Never considered him as lone wolf and he delegates lot of work to other people, even when it seems like he is doing everything.
Also, never felt that he doesn't trust people, so I don't get where you get this from. I guess trust is a two-way street, after a while you give up explaining why some things are the way they are (12 non-anonymous witnesses), especially when some of the stuff argued here are documented multiple times over and over.
There are plenty of people with their own opinion how things should be in cryptoverse. None of the projects need people like that, only people who make things happening are needed.
I have first hand experience on telling him 100x at the start of this project not to knowingly allow huge swathes of this to go for free into the hands of other ico mangers
Sadly now these competitors had huge bags of free byteball we had to stop the airdrops to those that INVESTED in buying byteball on the basis of getting the free airdrops. This destroyed trust further.
I have seen multiple people call for a change in the exchange unit to megabyte so that the huge group of people that are under the impression that byteball was too expensive to risk investing so went with the far cheaper iota.
I leave the design to the experts like tony. The obvious things that damage the project that could be changed quite simply he does not listen to at all.
"There are plenty of people with their own opinion how things should be in cryptoverse. None of the projects need people like that, only people who make things happening are needed"
Wrong again. The plenty are always needed in some way else you will get no network effect a be relegated to page 10 on cmc.
You simply need a leadership who can bring the plenty around to their way of thinking. On the deeper technical aspects it is not essential the plenty understand what is beyond their scope. However on other more straight forward matters discussion is required to build a strong community. Without that then it is highly unlikely you will get the network effect required to become relevant here. When a community feels it is ignored it will move away to other projects.
I like tony and he seems very honest and hardworking. He should employ a good community manager whom can interface with him and the community.
