more than more invester lost their patience on VIA...Because there is nothing achievement or progress from the VIA DEV team!!!
Well maybe not seen, and I agree that communication can (and will be improved).
Would love to hear your suggestions.
I can't say I've been connected to the alt markets lately. It is very quiet overall and the lower volumes bore the active traders looking for action. I bet that is where a lot of the dumps have come from. Regardless, there just seems to be very little Viacoin presence on the scene. No one doubts that it is a solid contender for a top coin, but it just sort of stops there. In the beginning there was a story and a vision, but it just seems as though that has gotten clouded a bit.
Do it your own way if you choose to, but some actual marketing would be great to see. There is consolidation going on...people are tired of shitcoins and are trying to see who might remain. You've got to fight to stay relevant in this defining stage...too much is at stake. Even established billion dollar companies advertise just to remind people they are there and to keep the brand out front. Nothing wrong with it. Substantively I'd like to see a roadmap (yes) of near-term goals, ECDs, maybe a weekly or bi-weekly blog-post of some accomplishments/challenges/apps in work, etc., some further color as to what kind of big players are seeking out Viacoin and why? Are you considering anything? It may be premature to discuss, especially if you've entered into a confidentiality agreement, but surely there are some things you can share.
I was involved with Cloakcoin early on, never expected it to go as high as it did. Though I think they went too far in communications, I never felt like they were not busting their asses every day and trying to deliver on the next goal. Even with the giant set-backs recently they've been very transparent. Again, I think they go too far and seem to want to satisfy every investor thirst for information, but there has to be a balance.
The big problem is, the reality of it, developing technology for a coin is not a linear progression. It's not like baking a cake where you can predict with high degree of success exactly when it will be ready. Software throws up unexpected bugs, or you get unexpected issues that turn out the be more complex than you thought. You discover bugs in upstream libraries which take time to resolve. This is all very time consuming. Coinmarkets are always looking for the next thing, and the next hype, meantime we've got our heads down working so maybe it doesnt look like stuff is going on.
That's why I am asking for feedback about how to better communicate in an effective way and one that is hopefully not too demanding on time distracting from the real work at hand. For example I have no problem with people asking questions with a view to maybe summarising progress or plans in a blog post (out blog is open source and anyone is welcome to
contribute).
FYI: Masternode and Gavin Knight from Bitangels have both volunteered to help with marketing and maybe some others could step up. My focus needs to be more on technology and I appeal to others to help in the marketing efforts. I care about the marketing, and I acknowledge we have not done much - but I am equally saying I can help and empower others to get involved in it which helps the project and helps the developers focus on delivering features.
