my random thoughts (been following this project for a while)..warning they are a bit negative. w/e just my opinion right.
* no meganet (yet). they said it would come this january to startjoin but it never did. have max/karl commented on this?
* not much news from max on twitter about startcoin/join, mostly just pictures of travels and so on. i think this is odd when he could make big $ promoting start as much as be humanily can. why wait?
* not much news/more comments from russell brand about start. i thought it was cool when he was more involved
* not much news/more comments from simon dixon about start. i like him as well and when he promotes start
* lots of talk from karl about start about development etc but it seems most is just talk so far? i respect karl and i think he's a good and honest guy. i just dont care for much more promises and so on until we see more updates. tbph the impression i get is that they dont have a very big dev team atm. if u judge by the development so far can u see 4 guys working on startcoin wallet and site 8hs a day atm? probably not..perhaps 1 or max 2 is my guess..and probably much less that fulltime. u dont think like that when so big names are involved...u think its a big team. but i think its a illusion, i think they should be 100% honest if they struggle with putting out actual code.
All valid concerns. To be fair with the Brand point, he abandoned the Trews(Start) as it was apparently impacting his career.
Karl did address concerns in StartChatter yesterday; but actions speak louder than words of course.
Too bad Start could not capitalize on the momentum it created last year. I think there is still a good chance it will recover.
