locking an ann thread always looks bad
needs to be reopened
most projects that die lock their ann before they gradually vanish for good
the main ann needs to be unlocked
I completely agree with you. It's always much better to unlock main ann than open new thread, otherwise it realy looks bad.
I agree with both of you, however no one has accused the de-facto leader of XBY of being someone who listens to others counsel. Hence, the best we can do is discuss it here. I'd like to try that before accepting that the coin is dying, although it is a fairly pointed out risk.
In terms of updates, the April monthly update came out on the Discord on the 1 year anniversary of the coin and the community has reacted badly to it (on the Discord), with no information provided on progress across the key issues for XBY (i.e. patents) and limited information provided beside it. The big piece of news was a screenshot showing a new website, however as a result of this update being hyped up significantly as a "big update", and the functional nature of the current website (the limited value of an updated website), the update disappointed.
The key next update is the filing of the patent applications, however given the lack of update on that provided, and the lack of track record of hitting deadlines I don't expect the patents to be filed in line with original expectations (April), so the next material update in this thread is likely to be May or later.
I will link the update as soon as it is updated on the coin's website, which is currently only showing the March update as latest.
