I think they need to show to the public the purpose and the progress in a way that even not techie person will understand. Maybe they have a weak marketing team. If you will look at other coins, they always reach the investors. Way back, when cryptocurrency was not yet in the mainstream, the investors are the techie people who understand those techie terms. But now, the investors are those people who were just amazed with the new idea whenever they are imagining it.
I joined the 2nd phase of ico and used my 2 eth(932 dollars now) and got 900 tokens(It is 530 dollars now). Everyone is rising because of their marketing and showing the people what their product is and how unique it is. Cryptocurrency is in the bull run now except for aethernity. This is the right time to market it while investors are overflowing now. Aethernity only has a godfather of Ethereum which not even marketed now. It will be great if aethernity will be known to public using a simple
title/term that will attract everyone to be followed by the godfather of ethereum. "Scalable smart contracts interfacing with real world data." Whats unique with it? Just sounds like Ethereum. Do you think the mainstream will understand this? We already have a godfather of ethereum in the brand. Please, dont waste it. Aethernity has a big potential.
There are lot of people invested in the ICO. What were you doing with the money? Can you spend even a little on marketing?
