I don't have any experience in growing a business, nor do I have any experience in developing a coin. Having said that, I do have a GREAT deal of experience in information technology and working for a successful, national, IT company. I was a programmer first and graduated as such, then moved on to networking, and now have landed a fairly comfy job as a Sales Engineer. If there is one thing I have learned over the years that applies to this IMMENSELY is that it is ALL about setting expectations. In my line of work as an employee of an MSP, you have to set your expectations as accurately as you can on the front end. If I spec out a server, 40 endpoints, and all the networking equipment that goes along with that, and I tell you, "You will be ready to go, fully functional in 4 months". Then, there is a hiccup and it takes 5 months. We are now that shitty IT company that you are stuck with for X amount of time. We will have to spend at least 6 more months going above and beyond before that trust is ever restored. So let's go back, same situation and I say, "You will be fully functional in 6 to 7 months" and we get it ready in 5... Now we are that IT company that KICKS ASS and you love us. We were done a whole month before the best case scenario deadline! We exceeded your expectations and not only are you happy but can be more forgiving of us if small problems arise because you know we are going to deliver.

Octo Dev's, I am in NO WAY telling you how to run your business, this was for everyone else. Hopefully, as a bit of perspective. These Dev's are still the same ones that got us to fall in love with this coin, and because of their ideas and attitude, an awesome community was formed. Let's all just think about the goodness that is to come and forget about how they "missed the deadline". You always want to under promise and over deliver. I still feel like that is going to happen here but we just have to be a little more patient. As they said, no more of this, hard time lines for now on. It's all 888's from here on baby.
