My criticism here is oriented towards the token and not towards the project, except for its huge delay and outrageous optimistic timeline.
Criticism is as easy as lazy cynicism..
The roadmap is not a timeline and the core devs have rightly shyed away from making the error of suggesting when each foot will fall. Pandering to day trading is an error too many projects make.
Still, there is talk of when to expect the next round of testing.. calendar for 2020 branded as Fleming which is a big step we've been looking forward to.
But often this organization will get corrupted if successful. I do believe that Maidsafe is the most interesting project out there and I wish it success. But I stay away from the token unless its price meets its true value (not future value).
That's a lazy understanding.. you would do well taking a closer look. Maidsafe is set to establish the network but there is no intent for centralised control that would become corrupt, as such basic concepts are well understood and to be avoided. We only need to look to gov orgs to recognise the risk of stagnation and error following from good intentions! Complexity and new tools do not arise to provide base platform without focused single team but what is spawned should work well as an autonomous network.
If all you look to is current price then you are missing an opportunity to support real progress and a brighter future.
