I do not understand you - all who hate the project. A great start, a really honest distribution of coins. Super little premine! Let the developer rest on holidays.
Now is the time of miracles!
I agree with you, I think people might be in too much of a rush on this coin, giving the dev too much hell lol. Quality takes time, and I been in crypto projects for a long time and from my experience this one so far is moving at a very decent pace.
Issue a lot of users don't get behind the scenes, you just don't get added to exchanges easily, you don't get progress every day because blockchain tech is still young and requires time and effort to pull something new off.
Far as the dev being away, normal right now. I am running marketing for Visio, used to do it for PIVX, and also have 4 other projects in the mix not public yet. Not one of these projects have any movement right now because of the holiday season. Most our devs are away or working while everyone is out and about enjoying some time away from crypto. You can see it simply by looking at the trading going on with BTC and other coins.
I believe by the dynamics of this coin, it has a lot of potential, may need some community support and insiders to boost them into new exchanges and so on. Even I with the contacts I have, its still an uphill battle to get coins on exchanges and I am pretty much buddies with most of them at this stage. They are all just picky and want a coin to go through a proving stage.
Long as the dev keeps at it here and the community supports, it will do well. Its a good start, nothing about this coin feels off to me personally, and I am pretty picky about projects.
