From the team leading the project on swap LSR/Kubo on CST token, there is a small update on the next steps published in the discord channel https://discord.gg/RT9CDY6 , concerning the beginning of the development of an Internet site for CST token, adding liquidity to the exchange of uniswap, etc. :
"...Hey Community,
I hope everyone is doing well and that the holiday season was a peaceful one. Im sure I speak for many when I say 2020 was a rather difficult year that brought a slew of challenges on various levels. I know speaking for myself, I've had to bury loved ones and deal with new responsibilities in both my home and work life.
Concerning CST and what's to become of it and the teams role in it, well it's the subject matter of this piece. Its a surprise to no one at this junction that the people that were supposed to make the team have been absent or completely non-existent. There are a few exceptions (like in all things) but the members of the team haven't been there for the project as a whole. But dont take the above statement as an attack or some lame effort on my part to throw the people under the bus.
Many on our team have had to deal with many 1st this year and a laundry list of issues and responsibilities that were not accounted for pre covid. To spare you all the details, ive had to hear everything from ugly divorces to death of parents. Previous time commitments were shallowed up by double shifts and double duty on the home front as many had to take care of little ones and family that found themselves sick or on hard times.
Truth be told, the character of all on the team are solid and i cant say enough about the sacrifices some had to do in their personal life. However, none of that matters in crypto and as many will say " one must separate work and personal".
So this piece is just that. CST as it is wont moon or go on any run that will recouperate the losses incurred on both the LSR and Kubo community AND team members.
Certain things didnt pan out and those have been noted and documented and we have fail to deliver time and time again. And though I try to keep things going forward, I am but one person that works, is married, has religious commitments in my community, and also trying to enjoy my 20's whenever the moment presents itself. And its personally getting frustrating to be the only one that gets the blunt of all the community's frustration and having to cover up incompetence. So, like I made mentioned last week, I took a step back and took both moral and personal inventory.
And at the end of all that, three things became clear. I either had to go and focus my talents on more fruitful endeavors. Clean house and mold what can be salvaged of CST to something that has some semblance of realistic hope. Or just stau quite and hope that someone else does the work for me and the team.
I'm here to tell you that I went with the second option and have already began work on rebuilding. Through my day job connections, I have hired a web developer that will build CST a professional website for awareness and to develop a starting point for us to work off. There will also be a gaming/gambling component to the website that will serve as a way to use the CST token ( a idea that was shelf last year due to other developments). The developer name is Neil P. and has over 11 years building websites, eCommerce shops, and domain portals for companies that gross in the 7-8 figure range. Ive built up a bussiness relationship with him and will start work on the site next week. Alongside this, arrangements for CST exchange to be completed will be made with the same developer group that was able to build the backend of Patriot Exchange in a timely fashion (from scratch, his team banged out the exchange code and backend in 4 months).
Will also be adding starting liquidity to UNISWAP for us to start trading and have a price API for trackign sites. Between these three items, the work is going to be outsourced but will give CST some life and a leg to stand.
Unless I get funds from volunteers or whatever is left of the team after today, these items will be coming from my own pocket. Either way, I'll have more control over the situations and be able to provide more substantial updates .
As for team behind CST, it will be 100% volunteers moving forward. Until we are generating a profit, I have learned over the years that people need incentives to keep motivated but also need to have money to pay the bills. Atm, CST doesnt pay anyone's bills. So, the voluneter group will be made of both former team members (if they choose to stay) and any community members that desire to help make their investment grow in a positive way. If you do decide you want to join, know there will be conditions:
- Must be active and committed a certain amount of hrs weekly to the project
- Must be part of the team chat and engage with the other team members.
- Interact with the community
If it comes to be that no one wants to join the volunteer team, thats fine with me. I'll happily go it alone. However, I believe more can get done with a group of volunteers that want to help and build.
There is hope for CST and there is a path forward for us all to recoup lost investments. But it wasnt going to happen with how things were set up and with people we had on the team (myself included). As they say, "the path to hell is paved with good intentions" and everyone that was behind kubo and lsr only ever wanted good for the community.
But good intentions dont pay bills and dont build good businesses practices.
So with that, this piece comes to a close and this update with it. Hope everyone takes the time to read it and understand not only where Im coming from but why this had to be shared.
Have a bless day/night and look forward to the feedback. "
