Please don't engage in this project driven by Bulgarians unless you read all my posts.
They had plenty of time to show the direction and that time revealed that it will never become a mainstream blockchain. It hasn't been built with any cryptocommunity standards. The founders has been dishonest (find out what they did to Zack Hess) looking for funds mainly (ICO, BRI as the first and the only effective governance vote), authoritarian (no discussion about monetary policy).
Some funds collected in ICO might be transferred from https://aeventures.io/ which was focused on Aeternity to another entity created (Meta Change Capital VC Fund http://mcc.capital/) and announced this year by Nikola Stojanow which is not focused on Aeternity. The creation of Meta Change Capital VC Fund (MCC) shows that founders of Aeternity are loosing focus on Aeternity and are quickly redefining their strategy. There is no public statement what happened with funds from ICO and where they are now. Actions are not transparent. Many top managers left Aeternity. Just match puzzles, think about action taken and judge yourself.
You won't find information like that on their censored official communication channels. And yes, they have blocked me there. Hi @zahl, thx for your constructive criticism. So, let's tackle your points: Every startup might have disagreements between founders to be solved in many ways depending on concrete situations and points of disagreement, this is not dishonesty, it is just real life. The direction was stated long ago and such an ambitious vision needs time to be implemented before implementing new directions, today built- in oracles , state channels and naming services are in production at the protocol core, name other blockchain comparable in terms of security, scalability, efficiency and use cases enabled. At the beginning of the network some decisions have been taken by the core team as in other networks for i.e network security reasons. If you want to be fast and effective in a dynamic market some decisions have to be effectively taken. Now the network is more mature and ready to start implementing decentralized governance methods that are currently in discussion as part of aeternity ethos which has not changed. But as discussed with some community members in one Superhero League episode, mechanisms have to be proposed BY THE COMMUNITY—that includes you, if you are still part of it. Monetary policy is clearly stated (you can see it here https://www.aeknow.org/miner/inflation) and anyone in the community can start a debate about it which might end up in a governance vote. While a part of the founding team has left, others are onboarding as a natural cycle in any organization. This is just how projects evolve. Constructive criticism is allowed on the forum—as evidenced by the forum thread you linked. And no, there was no mention of Yanislav having left the project in that thread. Twisting words does not help. Of course, trolls making serious accusations without any basis are banned—just like in any other channel. About MCC capital, this is a very serious allegation (even though you use "might be transferred") and is completely false. The fact that members of the team start their own investment venture does not mean that there is any relationship with ae other than a good relationship and exploration of possible synergies. No funds are being transferred from ae to mcc capital. But æternity start-ups and developers are absolutely welcome to apply for funding from MCC. Use of funds is easy, resources are needed to continue development and operations. Only time will tell whether æternity will never get to be a mainstream blockchain. But with continuous development of æternity’s superior tech, it’s likely you will be proven wrong. æternity has survived several crypto market crashes—precisely because it relies on tech building rather than hype. Lots of projects have died out, yet here they are. 😉 Anyhow, the public is free to propose improvements and projects for æternity. That includes you. |

Aeternity is clearly going towards $9 million cap blockchain project as it is failing its promises and is no more innovative (hard to say if it ever was apart of empty promises), especially in the advent of Eth2.0. Based on this the token price might reach 0.03$ soon. The project is sluggish, failing its promises and lagging behind new innovations. It has negligible community, and there is a small number of developers driven only by money paid with funds from ICO. Aeternity blockchain is hugely rewarding highly concentrated group of miners and themselves (Aeternity Foundation) via money-grab initiaitive (BRI) which was the first governance voting. That voting shows the direction of this blockchain and its priorities. Its leaders doesn't care about the token price, doesn't care about investors nor token holders. The leader of Aeternity, Bulgarian "grandfather-of-ethereum" is pro-inflationary and strongly against PoS. He predicts Ethereum (as one of the future PoS blockchains) will die sooner or later, but Aeternity will not as it is PoW blockchain with high rewards for miners. Aeternity is quite an authoritarian project far from the decentralized ideas. If you don't agree with above, dive in to Aeternity and feel the Bulgarian spirit on your risk! Bulgaria was the Soviet satellite state many years and now is one of the poorest UE peripheral countries, so it should be ok to support such an amazing team. Buy tokens and support them, enjoy the inflation, BRI, nepotism, failed promises, devastated community, no participation in dummy governance ( https://governance.aeternity.com/#/poll/5). More to come! Vitalik should say he had a chit-chat with Yanislav and borrow some of these ideas into Ethereum or Ethereum will be dethroned. Who knows, maybe Satoshi Nakamoto chit-chatted with Yanislav and was inspired to create Bitcoin... Anyway, you see the superiority of Aeternity. P.S. I don't use https://forum.aeternity.com/ as they censor and ban users there. Reddit is no better as it marked my posts as a SPAM and I can only guess who initiated it. This forum is the only censorship-resistant so far! Hello, Quite a lot of impressive statements again, but unfortunately, few have anything to do with the truth. I did not get how Bulgaria's past as a Soviet satellite is related but nevermind (btw few of the people involved with AE were even born then). It's obvious you're determined to just talk without checking your facts, so go ahead. However, if you want to really learn how innovative æternity is, you're welcome to join SuperheroLeague today and see the debut of a complete Coin Toss game using state channels. Best regards, The AE Team |

so much FUD in this thread. I can understand why newby zahl got banned from the aeternity forum with the way how he talks. he is either getting paid for spreading FUD or he spreads FUD on purpose to buy AE cheap. he also has no AE tokens, otherwise he would have started a governance vote on changing the parameters he thinks are wrong. while it is ok to have a personal opinion, one can not assume that all the community has the same opinion. therefore the governance app exists so that real AE token users can vote in a tamperproof way on the blockchain.
for me aeternity seems one of the best blockchains out there. no other blockchain has such a big talent base: four people who have created programming languages where involved (Erlang, Haskell, Skala, Agda) in the creation of Sophia and the FATE virtual machine. they really seem to know what they do with blockchain tech. another blockchain project where a programming language founder was involved is the Brave project. but clearly JS was a terrible langauge at the beginning and brave is rather a web2.0 joke than a real blockchain project, like aeternity.
zahl says that there is no privacy with the aeternity voting app because your IP can leak. people who are privacy concered should use TOR or self-host their infrastructure. aeternity software is fully decentralized and can be run by anyone and anywhere.
zahl also says that the BRI was a money-grab while it is a way to keep the independent foundation running to fund more core development. many updates have been posted by the foundation in the past. the BRI itself was over 75% approved by the aeternity users. the vote was fully transparent and verifiable by everyone. the large accounts of the aeternity founders (or foundation?) did not vote.
rumors say that the aeternity team is launching a new censorship-free social network very soon. this is going to be big.
Hello, Thank you so much for this @human! It is nice to have a balance of opinions here  You are actually right - a new P2P tool is to be unveiled soon and in fact, AE devs Milen Radkov and Philipp Piwowarsky are to give more details about it TONIGHT at SuperheroLeague! Moreover, æternity's Founder Yanislav Malahov will participate in a fireside chat and will share his vision for the future. So, we would suggest you all join the conference tonight, express your concerns or ask your questions directly. Best regards, The AE Team |

I agree with what you say, they clearly ignore the governance of the community and do it themselves because of their greed as if they are the most entitled and correct
for more than 3 years this team is still running in a place without any of the governance that they make and giving voting rights to the community to bring AE to where and AE foundation at all is just a joke they made so far
Hello, How is æternity ignoring the governance of the community, when the governance is working and everyone is free to initiate and vote in a poll? It is all work in progress, of course, and gets better with each following vote. If you don't participate in votes you can't really complain that the system is flawed. Best regards, The AE Team |

It is happening. You are out of top 100 coins. For the last few months I was right (but banned, blocked and ignored by you). Still my prediction is that dishonest project will be marginalized like it should be as this is something that needs to happen. Purification. Cryptospace needs a purification and only projects that honor original principles of transparency, honesty, openness and inclusion will flourish. I don't feel Aeternity reflect any of it. The market figured it out and priced it correctly.
And by what you did on your forum there are no users that have a basic knowledge to discuss basic things about principles of your blockchain. You placed the team in a position that did, will and decides about everything. There are no people that want to participate in a governance, no discussion at all, positive nor negative. You castrated the community.
And I will repeat as the BRI leaves so bad feelings. You were so eager to implement it motivated by money grab. It was so obvious you made it in an interest of Aeternity Foundation, not the token holders. The first vote should have been to fix and limit inflation instead. The FIRST vote that revealed all the intentions, priorities and directions. The result is that you will pay double the price. It could be a lot better if the order would be to let decide community what the first vote should be. And in another votes you could have propose BRI, after you showed a proper structure of BRI funds management (decentralized). This way you could have expected a higher participation of community, you could built a positive one that knows that are in charge and is listened and you could expected even bigger % of stake flowed to such a fund from mining or staking reward. But of course there was one problem that you won't bear. You will not control the process, you will not control the funds.
Hello, As we've said already, the price is not a definitive indicator. There are a number of projects that have acted objectively fraudulently and their price is still increasing. How would you explain this phenomenon? I don't want to dismiss your frustration, your views are as valid as any other community member's. However, we achieve nothing by going back in time and keep discussing past events. After all, the majority of the community supported the BRI and voted in favor. If you really care and want to change things, you'll have to actively participate and engage. Initiate polls and vote, even if the process is not perfect yet, we're getting there, one step/vote at a time. Best regards, The AE Team |

My account has been suspended for 1000 years. I am not going to use https://forum.aeternity.com/ anymore. You as the founders created a negative community (converting them from believers) by hyper-inflationary setup without asking investors without any discussion, by grabing the funds still hunger for more. And this is how you fight with it. Just banning the users. You lost more capital than you can calculate by a price drop. No other top 10 blockchain did so many mistakes thus this is what you wish for. The project will be out of top 100 soon and then abandoned for good. As I said no serious business nor people that cares about their capital will ever put money on the project with such a shame track. Aeternity had a time until Ethereum 2.0 to shows a better track, a better governance, a better setup, at least the same transparency and vision. Yani shouting he is a Godfather of Ethereum, telling the story about a chat with Vitalik. This is so embarrassing to see how he is trying to look and behave like a visioner. It would be more apprioprate to say he is a Grandfather of Ethereum rather than Godfather. The stories he say will be more realistic then. LOL. Countdown to Eth 2.0 then switch the light off.After all what I can say that is solely management failure how the project ended up. Be proud The Godfather of Ethereum, Godfather of Blockchain, Godfather of inflation, mismanagement, who studied computer science and economy. I want to participate in https://governance.aeternity.com/#/poll/5 but due to the privacy issues I will not. There has to be a way to make a vote securely and with high privacy standard. There should be a way to make a vote (sign a transaction) without using base app or Ledger but with just a plain private key (you can say that is vanilla way of interacting with blockchain) or it should be possible to see generated unsgined transaction which you could sign off with your private key for example via a script and then propagate to the network. Hello, This type of discussions are really not productive and do not lead to anything good. We get you are frustrated but it would be way more useful if you suggested concrete steps to change the situation and if you took some measures yourself. Participating in a governance poll is one way to do so. I will forward your concerns to the governance team. Best regards, The AE Team |

Why do you think that we all know well that the markets are irrational? Please, write your thought to the Tezos and Chainlink projects and prove that the price of their coins is irrational
Hello, Answered above, there is a dedicated place to discuss price and trading. Best regards, The AE Team |

CAUTION! No privacy on voting app Currently it is possible to vote using base app only. And the current governance process is violating your privacy. By using the base app Aeternity will have information about your mobile phone type, your IP and location that they can relate to your Aeternity public key (an address), so be careful if you care about your privacy! They should give you an option to generate an unsigned transaction which you could sign off offline and propagate to the network. Will Aeternity Foundation have any plan to address this privacy issue and let the users to sign the transaction the way they want? Or if there is a way how to do this, can you give an instruction how to do this? Let me answer that, currently there are no and privacy is not a point of interest of Aeternity were blockchain enthusiast take it as give! And before you answer. No, Ledger support is not the answer. Blockchain should not rely on one solution, one company, one device. Aeternity token holders will not participate in voting and governance because they have limited options to do this. They will not use the only option available - using a shitty base app - which you can use only on the mobile and destroy your privacy. Are you crazy to propose such a retarded solution as the only available option? How many years (or centuries) will we wait for a proper solution? P.S. I don't use https://forum.aeternity.com/ as they censor and ban users there and recently they started to report legitimate posts on Reddit to mark them as a SPAM. The post concerning privacy issues of the governing procedures were marked as a SPAM on Reddit as well. This forum is the only censorship-resistant so far! Hello, If you want an answer to your privacy concerns, you'll have to go to the Forum where developers can directly respond and explain. Nobody has been censored or banned from the Forum, nor from Reddit, except if they have violated the community guidelines. Best regards, The AE Team |

Hey all, You know quite well that markets are irrational and the price does not reflect the quality of the project or the technology. That is why we don't comment on the price, there is a trading-dedicated channel here. Best regards, The AE Team |

With barely any dApps the blockchain is huge and growing fast.
If it will grow so fast with these nonsense-spam-flooding transactions I worry that it can become unsustainable with just a few dApps.
Spamers are sending money back to themselves having fun and laughing watching the blockchain become spam-hog.
It should have been designed with a much lower block size and block reward and then gradually increased which could limit inflation in terms of number of coins and in terms of inflation in blockchain size. Now we have a blockchain with GB of spam and rubbish with almost no dApps, which price has tanked, thus no business would like to touch it unless they are miners (LOL).
It is ridiculous!
The parameters of the blockchain are totally inappropriate. Why there was no governance application designed even on Ethereum which would allow community to vote on basic characteristic like inflation curve and other important parameters long before genesis block? It was so easy to made, but the team decided to not to ask anybody from the investors and community. So many things were hidden. If the parameters were defined properly, that is ok, but the basics of the blockchain are wrong. Somebody had a huge fun, but the blockchain may collapse before it will be adopted.
Hello, Your statements are a bit misleading to say it mildly. There are more and more æpps being built on æternity blockchain, but even taking them into account, I would not say the blockchain is huge. Besides that, there is a garbage collection implementation - you can read more about it here. In times when the block size is an issue for so many blockchain projects, arguing in favor of a smaller one is not really well thought through. The governance æpp is up and running for months and everyone can start a poll. You are welcome to start one and suggest better parameters. Best regards, The AE Team |
