to be honest, finding info in discord is a pain in the arse. info is too scattered. i just found the alpha miner link by accident.
they should have set a forum up early on, or had a much better mailing list with much better and up to date info.
All you are saying just proves that enthusiastic and talented hardware engineers should not run any companies and deal with people who expect financial gains. I perhaps was never really talented an engineer but I definitely should not have been a manager (early and happily retired now)
yeah, pretty much this.
at least they could of hired a good PR guy. i wont go as far as saying they were misleading people with their roadmap/timeline and such, but things sure went into the weeds as time went on. i do think they have been way more honest and open than most companies in this space. but not everyone can be sidehack, who basically sets the standard as far as openness and honesty.
but as i said before, some of us like the bleeding edge. some of the fun is figuring out how to get things running with minimal instructions and help. im one of those as im into hardware and while profit is nice, learning is fun too.
but for people with profit as 1st priority. well this wasnt the way to do it.
be interesting how things are in a month or so when things are (hopefully) all up to snuff and user friendly.
