You’ve really started spitting that vitriol, haven’t you? Christ... Everybody asks for communication and transparency, and then when they pin an update to the top of people’s feed that they feel needs to be seen, people fly off the handle. You moving to Whaleshares or something? I like you @kafkanarchy84, I really do. Just seems like as something of a community leader, your outlook is less than helpful, at least in this forum...

Sorry for having an opinion you don’t like. I’m nobody’s leader. Why is frustration and an actual opinion that’s not a cult-y happy cheerleading song such a taboo for so many here?
I don’t really think we have to blindly praise Ned and co. or be entirely dismissive of their efforts. Feels like there’s still a thin line of wary hope in the middle there somewhere. Not saying I’m entirely pleased with the situation, hf20 fucking newcomers and the big layoffs, but the people cried for transparency from stinc and that’s what they got. Not really cheerleading for them.
You mean the transparency of not releasing books?
The ire of delayed SMT. You know that it was supposed to be released early this year?
How about how unaffordable RPC nodes, etc. are for average users? They've known that for a while.
It's more than just HF20 and layoffs, you know.
That’s all well and good, but you know these issues are the ones being talked about as of late. The only SMT roadmap I saw talked about their release in the first quarter of 2019. I joined in April of this year, so I am unaware of earlier plans. I would be pleasantly surprised if STINC released their books, but I highly doubt that will happen and don’t even really see it as necessary. They fucked up relying on the market to pay people, and failed even with the cushion of the early ninja mine. That’s about as much as I really need to know. I’m gonna venture to say the “average user” cares very little about running their own nodes, and cares more about being able to use this platform without a worry of the whole infrastructure crumbling and everyone leaving.
My faith is less with Steemit Inc., and more with SteemPeak, SteemMonsters, DTube, SteepShot, etc. The things I really use. If STINC dies and they fail to keep the protocol, and therefore these awesome DApps running, then so be it. I’ll be here until it burns to the ground
