In the end it's up to the dev team to prove the critics wrong.
I agree that the team should come here to clarify this.
They're not active on Bitcointalk, but they are quite active on Discord, Telegram or Reddit.
when I see so much trouble going on I would also just warn people to be cautious
I understand your point of view. If I were you, I would just go elsewhere and search some additional information, because here on Bitcointalk there is almost nothing:
- on one side, 5/6 accounts writing only in very big sizes, in bold and red and with caps lock, making quite a lot of posts to say always the same things,
- on the other side, very few users writing normally, trying to prove what they say with real facts.
But in the end, on both side, there is too few people to have an objective view of the situation.
