Then they should have told the community they were going to take X number of days or weeks, in the spirit of caution, to mentally masturbate over the launch.
My point is that the expectations are not matching reality and that it is a branding issue, not a technical one. It usually happens when technical people are in charge and not people also looking after the marketing aspect of a project.
It was totally preventable and is the difference between managing expectations and meeting them. Its a rookie mistake and not acceptable for a $15 billion dollar enterprise.
If Block.one has to do their hack-a-thon on a test network or worse delay it...it will only act as FUD fodder.
Very valid points! The issue certainly has arisen from the fact, that b1 isn't officially part of the launch, with the end of the ICO, they are finished (at least as regards their obligations), they have the money, and that's it. After that it's the community and especially the BPs who are in charge, and although there are a few bright lights among them, they still are far from the means and expertise that, that b1 would have. You are absoultely right, they should have had a basic project plan on how to roll out the chain, and they hadnt. On the other hand if you look at the timeline, the first bps appeared early march, and most got in later, and we had 3 releases since that, so they were tied up with basic technical implementation....
