Yeah, well this is not being in anyway seen by the community and the dropping net hash as well as value confirm that.
We've got a big project on the horizon, but bear in mind BIG PROJECTS require time, planning and care in order to ensure they are done properly and don't end up causing problems for either ourselves or our loyal fans.
What is the project? Why your "loyal fans" have no idea what this is? Why is it, and progress on it, not communicated to the community?
So to not cause problems to your local fans you keep the project behind close doors and not look for any feedback on it? See if community thinks it is a good idea? So the decisions are somewhat decentralised?
And seriously multipool? Although is a good idea, it's not the best one currently. Currently you need to make the coin look inviting, interesting, and make it stand out and not count that other coins might die out and you will be the "solution" they will turn to. Coins will die out there is no question about it, but there will be new ones, with features that will make em more desirable then HIRO. It's you, devs with the help of community that should help to steer the coin somewhere. But community is unable to do anything if we have no idea what direction the devs are going.
You regard us as a bunch of stoopid sheep that will be drawn by buzz words: "next gen", "best security", "multipool", "big project". You have to be more specific what is on the cards or else there will be no support, if there is not support there will be no adoption. No adoption will make the coin vanish in the avalanche of all the new coins.
Think about it...
