Dean,

   I am chill. The success or failure of POT is not going to affect me long term. I'm invested in it, and have been since the beginning, but I'm not going to be a millionaire or lose my home if it shifts either way.

   That being said, I want it to succeed. I think anyone in this thread can agree with that desire.

   However, I'm not seeing results. I think a lot of people, yourself included, are blinded by the agenda. Saying that POT is this great and powerful entity that is doing all these amazing things is kind of off-based. The whole "never been done before" mantra that keeps popping up is driving me nuts. People are right, it's never been done... and it still hasn't been done. Until there are quantifiable results that exceed the hype, I'm going to play the pessimist card. The business plan, or lack thereof(which you agree with), is the most troubling. Why is there still not a list of merchants that accept POT? I don't even know what the hell I can spend POT on. If I come to this thread for instance, and I've never seen POT before, I would think it was a pump and dump coin. Lots of pools and exchanges listed, but no mention of what services accept it. How many people here know that Amagi Metals takes POT as a payment? The only reason I know is because I frequent their site. From an outsider's perspective, there is no clear thinking evident here... maybe too much smoke in the air.

   You ask why it's an issue that they collect more money via the fee when they already have the 588k POT in the wallet. I don't think they should be paid if they aren't producing results. Apple has billions because they sell billions. As much as I loathe Apple marketing and products, they earned that money. If POT becomes extremely successful, I will donate to the dev team again. Them telling me I have to donate via a 2% fee is a whole other story. That I have a problem with.

   Mate, my angst isn't towards you. I'm just getting tired of the fluff. To me the your post just seemed disjointed. If that was your intention, as you pointed out, then I apologize for the point by point breakdown.

Cool Brother ... I get it. There has been a lot of fluff. In one of the very first things I wrote here, I pleaded for communication and transparency. That is still lacking and needed.
