Yep. And the backflip on keeping the ninjamine. If we'd have burnt that damn honeypot I believe the price would be a heap better right now; but we kept it to pay for development. It'll be February again soon, a full year after SMT code was in testing, and there's still no apparent progress.
If witness rewards aren't sufficient to pay for development, then it should grind to a halt until the price recovers.

HBD is not needed, ninjamine is still here, autovotes, delegated stakes voting on garbage posts, slow development, no clear goals and paths to take, those are just issues I can think from top of my head right now. Oh yeah, needlessly high inflation, no real advantages of powering up, long power down time.. I'll stop there, I can't even imagine issues witnesses are having with increased costs of maintaining Hive.

I think the recent hardfork reduced costs, and made it more efficient; but we need something sexy on the horizon. Something to get excited about.
Being an authentic, quality project isn't enough. Gotta have some hype too.
