Last point, I don't think versperwillow is unbiaised (or like foxnews Grin

) from what he wrote lately, I think he wanted to do a business partnership with Jaymes and got turned down, however I don't see how more mining farm would have helped.

I have nothing to gain or lose from any of it. I pulled out of the coin entirely before it launched. What bias would I have? My opinion of his mismanagement hasn't changed, nor has my support or advice to those trying to make something of it.

I offered to help him if he wanted it--I didn't want to be a business partner, I just wanted to see the idea take off. I asked for no additional benefit for my help, I was going to provide services and support out of my own pocket just to see the coin take off.

I also offered more than just a farm. Everyone here complained about his lack of presence, the lack of products shipping (which still haven't shipped for some customers), nobody helping them out, nobody talking on the forum in an official manner, etc. I had offered to be that guy. Jaymes refused to talk to me. I don't hold a grudge against that because I had nothing to gain anyhow.

And when you have a business coin, you want to ensure no forks occur and that transactions are always being processed, regardless of anyone else mining the coin. This is why you have a dedicated mining network. Other business related coins have them. He didn't see the benefit.

And here we are today.

Now, I must admit I never understood why the forum crowd was so much against the ceo. Sure he is not a big communicator, but micryon was present, Hendr1x and some others too... But even then it was never enough to satisfy everybody.
Seriously, when you buy stuff on Amazon, you don't try to contact Amazon CEO and make a scene because it doesn't answer (or try to propose idea to Amazon CEO...) You buy your stuff and that's it. Why it should be different here ?

The coders were present always, but that doesn't help with the frontend issues which Jaymes held sole control over. He should've had someone helping him.

May-be you are just living to close to him (dealing with someone on internet and in real life is totally different...)
Ok if he didn't send the product to everybody yet, this is clearly unacceptable.
Regarding someone to help him with the frontend, it is always the same problem, it means he would have had to spend more money to hire someone (this would have required the store to be already profitable).
Actually hiring someone would certainly have been more useful than spending 5000$ on having a company working on new splitter design... (the business was too young for that, as it wasn't its main goal)

edit: obviously I assume what he said is true...
