Re: [ANN] ION [ION] | POS 3.0 | Mobile Gaming | Join the ionomy today!
Goalposts changing is such a simplistic definition. The vision is still the same. Strategy/Tactics/Resource have changed due to a) how the crypto market has evolved since 2016 and b) Having a better understanding of developer/end-user propositions.
The agile survive hence the reason why they are still going strong.... also helps to have a properly funded business

Would this be the same 'fully funded' Ionomy that at some point in 2018 asked some of it's community members to donate 0.5 BTC each to get Ion listed on an exchange? The truth is that you likely have no real idea of their financial situation because they don't talk about that stuff beyond vague 'we have enough money' noises occasionally.
I could understand the agility argument if it was backed up by any wider success in the past at all, but it's not. Going all the way back to it's inception with XPY.io, this team has so far delivered nothing that has appealed to an audience bigger than a small subsection of a subsection of the alt coin community, and has had to keep revising and redesigning it's core offering as it uncovers flaws and missteps in it's delivery. This is not the signature of a focused, agile team. This is the signature of a team who have to keep changing their goals and project aims because they consistently underestimate both the true scope of their work and the skills needed to deliver it to a standard that actually appeals to people.

I can't properly remember but I think what you're referring to was in 2017, It was a Korean exchange that helped ION hit a high of $8
with a daily trading volume in the $millions. An un-forecasted opportunity that proved to be quite a lucrative one.

What you've described actually is the signature of a focused agile team. Ionomy is not perfect but who is when it comes to real-world implementation. Although I did make a perfect telephone call a few months ago
it was perfect.
