I think that you not doing R&D as part of your "work in software". It is VERY HARD, near impossible to give an estimate for something that was never done before and truly innovative as you almost never can take in consideration all bumps/changes/redesigns/bugs  you will meet on the way to solution. So deadlines, that you don't know if you can meet them, are irrelevant at first place. And about "reasonable explanations", how do feel about... "guys, it took me more time to solve something I thought it will take me less time" * 10? good enough for you?
And you can add to this the fact, that there is no development structure as in regular place of work in this kind of projects, with fixed (more or less) work hours, as far as I know no one pays Borzalom so I guess he keeps also day job...
Don't you think that his day job can influence his availability and change his "project time" depending on work stress? How he should give estimate for something without even knowing how much time he will be able to spend on project?

It is very easy to demand and be negative while comparing bananas with apples. I suggest next time just think about possible explanations before.

I do hope, and this is according to CCR update from few days before, that we are progressing in development and this is positive thing. As long as final result will be working product, for me it worth waiting. If someone feels different and think that this is "bad" project, he always can sell his XBY and leave it.

Lol who cares what u people are writing here... There are just two types of people... One who knows and believes in xby, and another one who have no idea about it... Lets wait, lets see what will happen. In my opinion xby will be better then Bitcoin (I know it is hard to believe but i know what kind of hard work is going behind scences...) make your choice in this time...

5 months in and no white paper.
2 months and half to build the "new" website with just static html.
No updates and no news whatsoever.
Toxic join slack attitude.
Censoring everyone who dares to criticize anything regarding the development.


Those are too many red flags, I'm out. Call it a fud, call me a sock puppet or whatever. It's not natural to make a static html site 2.5 months, which can be completed over a weekend.

All the best guys.

I am no longer part of the Board, but until a deal is reached the "details" are what really matter in any discussion or negotiation.  So the key point for me is if and when a deal is reached.

I love XBY.
- If I trust, I buy and stay calm.
-If I do not trust, I go my way and do not buy.
- If there is any doubt about my investments, I sell.
- In any case, I keep my opinions for myself and I do not try to influence the community.

I think we will be fine. We have great guys in the board that are good in touch with the community and CCR is also a good guy, let's not overreact on that. Yeah, he may have overreacted in certain situations but he definitely comes across as a very passionate person that is really passionate about this project too. Well, I can understand that a Slack full of people who know little (compared to him) can be annoying and especially when the critism is toward yourself, it can be very frustrating when you are working that hard for it all to succeed. Maybe the communication can be left to vanfly or ccnccn or jhar for that matter, since CCR is really personally committed (not moneywise but in effort and dedication) that it can get in the way of communicating like it's expected in a big project/company. I wont be the judge of that since I have ZERO problems with his communication, on the contrary, I enjoy him responding with that much passion. It gives me the confidence that this guy is real. He is not faking his emotions and therefore not scamming anyone. You cant fake his passion/temperament. I dont believe that. Therefore I believe in him and the project.

You were the guy with that funnycartoonkid on his profile pic, I believe. You seemed like a very nice guy. The way the website thing handled wasn't good and therefore that has changed. Change came. Change has arrived. And therefore we are stronger then before.

I understand your concerns but we cant quite or start full critism when things arent going bad. We express our thoughts in a normal way instead of bringing up personal matters (like who is CCR/borz) when thats not even relevant in the critism that is being spoken out.

Posting with sock puppet accounts is not going to get your voice heard...sorry balls will be needed to voice concerns lol

The great thing is that the community as well as the board (including ccrevolutions) seem to have learned a lot from this. Ever since seedit and the other guy, forgive me for not recalling your name, went out of the Slack, the board AND ccr have openly admitted their part of the bad choices and the community on the other hand stepped up like true soldiers. I am proud of that, like really a lot. And because the community as a whole stood up and tried to HELP instead of just critisize, the founders/board had no other choice then to admit that this was the best way to work with this committed, careing community.

This project is really getting stronger by the minute thanks to all of this. Great things.

A.) The decision was made before we had our community board fully in place in order to fully gauge our options. Now we are in a position to reflect and react accordingly with many members. No decision is made by 1 person at this point.
B.) Same as A

I do not speak for CCRevolution, but I believe his reasoning was that the site release was not something he was comfortable in releasing during that time. There was pressure from some members of the Slack channel for a release, and he was frustrated that his hand was basically forced to show the incomplete version. Everyone has learned from this experience, and we have a stronger community focus because of it.

 

I personally think CCR should not step down. I believe and trust him.

The decision to make the website the way it was, was made made while back. A lot of things have changed since then, see my post above for details.
