The company doesn't necessarily need to be decentralized, although we are aiming to do this as well. For the blocKchain to be effective the network needs to be decentralised, the security comes from a decentralised network that can't be controled by a single entity. And you may or may not have seen the news lately but patents are becoming more and more common in crypto space.
You claim this to be a community coin but the community has nothing to say. There is no way to implement anything from the community nor is a veto possible as long as the company own the rights. The company leads the way this thing is going. This has NOTHING to do with decentralization. If anyone complains about the few block producers at EOS, this is even worse, where only one entity decides everything.
A company owning the patents doesn't mean they can control the blockchain itself, the patents only protect the ownership of the idea/concept, it doesn't give the owner control over the blockchain an important difference you fail to grasp. And a decentralised company is not that different from a foundation governing the project.
You ask why we haven't ramped up marketing, well simply because we want to show actual things we can market and we don't want to sell promisses. Our main priority is getting the tech out there, not creating price pumps based of marketing hype.
I am asking why you are making marketing! You are making marketing for two years without the blockchain released. Everything is running with a Bitcoin fork with PoW removed and now you are trying to twist it as if you would not be making marketing. What is this thread?
If you're calling the posts we have been making lately about the test release of our wallet a marketing campaign then you clearly have no idea what a marketing campaign should look like, yet you accuse us of being amateurs while you yourself clearly don't have a clue what is required to get attention in this space. When we are finally able to show the technology you will see what marketing needs to look like.
But it looks to me you rather complain about us keeping our community up to date with what is happening.
If you are willing to take my word on it I can tell you that Borz has been working in cryptography for many year and is very experienced in the field.
Let's pretend this is correct, though it would be plain simple to approve it but you do not approve it for whatever reason. Nevertheless, let's pretend, how can people like Allen and Ashley who have no programming background confirm the code to be unique? Where is this ability coming from without any advanced programming background?
Allen and Ashle were more than capable of recognizing the uniqueness of the idea/concept we plan to bring to this space, they don't need to understand one line of code for that (the code is just the execution of that idea/concept). I can read a white paper and determine if the idea is unique/groundbreaking/
without seeing one line of code. The fact that we plan to go about the concept of blockchain in a completely different way is the reason we are able to apply for patents, because the general idea of blockchain is already out there and can't be claimed by anyone.
