The two of you are misunderstanding me. I am not doubting that there are legitimate problems/concerns, etc. I am simply stating that there are things that were promised that they have come through on, including some things not promised, such as more transparency. I never said "trust the devs." You are selectively reading my comment. I will say it again, you have every right to express the concerns and contribute to the improvement of the coin. This includes criticism. Again THIS INCLUDES CRITICISM. I am just trying to say that there is no point in not approaching it in a constructive manner. Focusing on some of the potential of this coin while shedding light on the problems may help you avoid pushing the prices down further. "FUD" is very real and what you have to say contributes to it if not done with a level head. Now, there were reasons you were attracted to this investment in the first place, right? Lay out where you would like to see this go and mention what you believe the barriers to "furthering" success to be. This is a discussion forum after all. I do not intend to inflict harm on anyone's ego. I hear you. I just ask that you consider that others hold this investment and wish to take steps forward if we fall back, not take two more steps back with self inflicted wounds.

I am not "misunderstanding" you at all. In fact, I haven't even addressed you once. I am unclear why you are lecturing me about any of this -- Have you actually read any of these posts?

I just got done buying AIR and I therefore obviously liked it (as I said in my previous posts!).

But, this "collaboration" stuff is BS and I am not going to pretend that it is not. And, as I just bought my first AIR coins a mere couple of hours ago, I have no reason to want the coin to go down in value.

It is a problem and a serious one. Now, maybe their efforts are somehow going to benefit AIR coin directly and if that is the case, I am all ears. Otherwise it is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, whether you consider it talking down the coin or not.

I also think this "collaboration stuff" is questionable, surely Air should be up on it's feet before embarking on another experiment?

I am open to any explanations that this will help Aircoin, but I am failing to see how it can.

EDIT:

Ok, I have been out all evening and have just looked at the price on Poloniex for the first time - I'm disappointed, the price has been hovering around .001 for a while. Sorry to say it, but I should have dumped - my investment has halved. I won't make that mistake again.

So, I am holding several thousands of Air, watched the price halve and there is talk of giving/selling the ONLY unique selling point of Air to other coins who already have selling points of their own (why would I invest in Air if the same performance can be gained on other, already vaguely popular coins?) - it's fair to say I am now considering my position, as it stands now I can get out with a small profit.
