If you are the impatient type, then I suggest you join the Telegram channel: https://t.me/Peerplays

I don't think concerned investors are being impatient. They are just concerned that their money is in safe hands; and concerned that the ICO timetables actually mean something. It should be noted that good communication is not only important, it's an absolutely necessity if investors are to accept launch delays for reasons of development (it's the reason these projects have marketing/PR people). Communication is even more vital in the ICOs market compared to institutional venture capital or IPOs with underwriters.

The Peerplays blockchain was released last night, and it is producing blocks and running fine.

This is encouraging news and should ease people's concerns (does mine), that is assuming investors are aware of this news. Without communication, FUD is inevitable when timetables are just ignored or changed.

Only the command line version has been released. They said the GUI should be released soon (probably today), and that they simply had a small bug to fix in it.

I'm sure many investors are hoping its released today. Most have no reason to believe it won't be (aside from the "after 6/7" update to the launch date of 6/1) .

@redwbl - For someone that likes to come across as "investing in the ICO", you sure do like to spread a lot of FUD about Peerplays. How does spreading FUD seem like a good idea if you did indeed invest in the ICO? Take a step back and think about how FUD can harm your investment. .

When it comes to the release delay, I don't think anyone can say very much that will negatively effect their investment (or the future demand for the cyrpto), particularly anything that could effect it anymore than a delay itself would. I don't see how it could when the Crpyto hasn't even hit the market.

I think you are most likely a shill, and this post is a waste of my time, but..

Posts with updates of the project development aren't a waste of time (regardless of whether or not it's in a response to a troll).

I also don't think minor delays will negatively effect PPY as much after it's actually launched.

Peerplays has a good team behind it.

Of course. This is one of the reasons people did invest. Without good developers, many ICO's are ignored, especially by this community. This is also a reason people why there are delays with no updates.

Making announcements and press releases may not be one of their strengths, but they are good where it matters most (development)

Sure, development is where it matters most, more so when it's actually launched. While announcements and press releases regarding the launch date may be easy for you (and other devs) to write off as less-important, it's unrealistic to assume that a large percentage of investors will see it the same way. Ignoring announcements and updates (esp. when it comes to launch delays) creates the FUD (that you were speaking about) on it's own.

The community can carry the torch as far as advertising and PR
It is more important that they focus on development, seeing as though there are a few competing projects.

Myself (and other investors) can appreciate the importance for good development. I find re-assuring that development is being worked on as diligently as you say it is. However, you can't ignore that being the first-to-market, meet timetables, and investor confidence an important aspect when it comes to the competition. You can't ignore that fact that a proper blend/balance between business and tech is needed for something like this to be successful. [/quote]
