I take ages to decide about concepts and like to go into extreme detail before I invest a cent. This has always been my way and it has stood me in good stead as almost everything I have invested in has flourished. I got into Bitcoin when it was $30 and everyone I knew laughed at me. They dont laugh anymore. I am still studying Viva and so am undecided as yet.
One of the things that particularly interest me is the human face and the human impact.
This is why I looked into MAIDSAFE network 5 years ago.
I joined the forum and was banned for one day after 20 minutes just because I wrote on the wrong tag. David Irvine, the creator himself, contacted me to apologize. Later the same day I was told that as an artist I was too early to join because it was only for devs. I never went back and sold my investment.
In sharp contrast to this I was given a great welcome on Steemit which is why I am still here.
I was given an invitation to join Viva chat a few days ago and so I did.
I typed in "Hi to everyone" but got no response. I waited a while but no one seemed to no I was there so I left. Perhaps as an artist I am too sensitive, but this was not a good start for me as first impressions are important. However, I have not give up on the idea as it does look interesting.
As I say I like to check things out in detail before I decide anything.
Thanks for the post @sykochica I have bookmarked the page so I can read it a few times.

I apologize for that.
It's going to depend largely on the day and the time of day. We have people scattered across the globe and generally there are only 3 to 4 people on at any given time because our community is small. But with St Patrick's day weekend it's been rather quiet even by our standards.
I invite you to stop back by and say hello again. It's not that we're being unfriendly, it's just that sometimes the building is empty.
As an artist we could really use your services right now as mentioned here we are at the stage where a good graphic artist is crucial.
I really have to remember to check what I'm logged in as before commenting.
No worries, I did come to the conclusion myself that perhaps I was just unlucky and came on a quiet day. I will surely try again. Thanks for responding that means a lot. I will check out the artist link also.
Oh I can totally understand. It's also worth noting I'm not a trader or investor (made my first actual trades just yesterday in fact.) So this was purely meant as being informative on what the project is and why I personally like how they're setting it up and what it's looking to achieve. Investment is absolutely a whole different ballgame and not anywhere in my realm of experience.
Sorry to hear nobody responded in the chat. I actually just got in there myself in the last few days, having been in their slack previously, but I'd stepped away from a lot of things for a while as I had to focus on some real life things. I had saw you entering the channel when I got in but didn't remember seeing the hello message, not doubting it was there, I probably just missed it even though it was after the fact.
At the moment, there aren't too many people in there, so there can be slow times. But there seems to be quite a bit more activity now and had some new people join in. While I understand where you're coming from, I do hope to see you in the chat someday. :)
I honestly think it was a matter or unlucky timing.
I understand you. Yeah I also put tit down to perhaps I just came at the wrong time. I have not given up on it yet and will defantely try again.
I hope you do! We need artists to help us translate this <3
