New projects and their unreal excuses

[Zemomtum]

They are all ungenuine excuses, there is a lot of software to work remotely, most projects are launching their mainnet during this pandemic and they even work longer hours during this lockdown.

It's 90% untrue story when new projects failed to launch their project because of COV19 pandemic because every thing about crypto is digital, you can continue development digitally even if the team are in their separate homes, I can still cut some slacks with projects from Italy and France, they are the hot zones of Cov-19 pandemic but what about others??? We have Zoom app thats very good for team to come together and make a plan because of social distancing,. What am I missing guys Am I right or wrong?

You have a point here but sometimes physical collaboration is required to attain a goal. We all know most crypto projects have teams in various parts of the world and even before covid19 outbreak some team members hardly get to meet in person whilst fostering project development. The annoying part about new projects giving excuses about covid19 is when they run token sale during this same covid19 era, then when it comes to kickoff development, marketing and listing with part of the raised funds they give excuses. The big question is, why do token sale if they are not ready for the project actualization 🤔.

There are a couple of projects that I participated in are now saying that we have to take a hiatus from the project because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I have no problem waiting for development but I fear the company might run out funds. If they decide to wait out the situation.

once the team starts reasoning like that, you can already consider they are scam. we have seen them many times before since 2018. i have joined some signature campaigns that just wasted our time. and only to find out these developers are also known to have scammed before. 

i'm just glad that i have not invest to them but only join the campaign. joining their channel will make you think they are legit but once they start avoiding questions, you will already feel like they are like any other scams.

I think it's a silly move, because the crypto-currency project in the midst of this pandemic is an opportunity to attract investors, many good projects come during a pandemic, and the price of crypto currencies is also getting better now. who knows what they think

What you said is actually true. Most of the projects I have encountered (whether if I’m an investor or just an airdrop or bounty participant) have COVID-19 as the main reason to put a “halt” to their campaigns or not paying or compensating us for our efforts.

Why would it be a conflict if everything is digital and can be done online?

It’s not really a good “excuse” for them to make COVID-19 a reason for their so-called “delays” or pausing the campaign “until further notice”. Project developments can be done at the front of the monitor, especially apps. We don’t need to meet face-to-face in order for the project to become successful.

Most of the ICOs, IEOs, etc., have their projects mostly online (unless they do have physical MVPs that required them to move around the city or something like that). It’s not an excuse if they can’t do some sort of a physical collaboration. They should think outside of the box by going digital collaboration, as we are entering into the new normal.

Look at the conferences right now. They’re going digital and it didn’t stop them from making the virtual conference a success. Same thing goes to these new startups, ICOs, IEOs, etc., where making excuses like this only made them weak and not worth investing or promoting.

Yeah I think you are right knowing the fact there are software can be used to communicate with one another and still be able to work on their own the project would still develop day by day as like what you said they would be able to work even longer hours so it means that the projects will be having a little more of progress than its previous time frame of development.

[Zotak337]

There is different between not launching a project but keeping the community alive and not launching a project and no sign of teams on telegram channel and social media channels, these are two different things completely, still Cov-19 isn't an excuse but if it thus happened they must keep their channel opened and active

In my time in crypto there were moments when I was thinking "I saw it all!", and usually right after that kind of thoughts something new surprises me. It's never boring in crypto, to read about good stuff and unreal excuses, but hey this is the internet after all, we should get used to that by now. But just for the record, you can't generalize this, sometimes some good people have real excuses! Some people you can trust and you need to give them more time if they need it, learn how to make a difference between good and bad!

I see some good project still developing their project while this pandemic is on. Maybe the project didnot continue or postponed have an good excuse. But, i think if the project have a good fundamental they can survive this pandemic and launch their project.

when they still have a strong desire to continue the project I think they will be able to survive and pass this time. but some projects just stopped and disappeared from the community. it is part of a bad new project.

As you know the pandemic has destroyed everything in the world, it has affected also some new projects. However, there are still some projects which are still developing while the pandemic. There are a lot of programs, which you can use for meeting each other and continuing your project. If you really want to do it, you will find the solution of doing it. We can realize that which one of the projects is valuable for investing in.

This is also good for the community as well, what if they would have listed on the exchange or could have succeeded with their ICO and then they would have taken the investors money with them while fleeing. So this is actually really good as only those projects will now stay that are having real long term goals and not the ones which are in the market for the money of the investors and don't want to do anything innovative for the community. These are purely my ideas, I would like to hear what others have to say about this.

You cannot judge anything here in common. This is definitely a case to case scenario but we need to accept almost everywhere the progress of works is being delayed because of pandemic conditions. We must need to accept the reality even they are providing lame excuses. I agree there are a lot of facilities are available right now to work for a team even with social distancing. Currently I am not working for any bounty, this may be the reason why I could not really get what kind of frustration you are facing on.

But by the times of 2018/2019, when I was working for bounties, I had come across many of such excuses like they are delaying for some reason due to unavailability of something and many more; but I got any other option except bearing them. So, this is just a common scenario every bounty hunter usually face; you just need to bear and then move on because this is how usually system works here.

I think their excuse works if they are working in an office all together but had to go back home and that is why they failed. But I feel like when you are doing an ICO, everything can be done at home as well, which is why I do not think it is as realistically a trouble as they make it out to be. Unreal excuses will be everywhere, there is a saying that goes "excuses are a lot like a--holes, everyone has one" and that is true in this instance as well.

I feel like people are failing to realize that and that causes these people to get away with it. If you are doing ICO, you should take everything into consideration, plus covid-19 has been around for almost 6 months now around the world and at least 4 months since it became big, so whatever you had to do, you should have done it already.

Its been a casual stuff and it wont be surprising if they would make excuses out of this pandemic situation.Come to think that they do even delay in normal days, how much more if we are already experiencing global issues?

For sure they will surely make it as a cover up once again on making things being delayed or shall we say that they didnt even intend to do on what must they have to do in the first place.

This is why i dont really mind much or already in ignore when it comes to bounty hunting.

[Slow death]

the reality of these new projects is something scary and it started since 2017.

People decide that they will be entrepreneurs and arrive here at Bitcointalk they create an ANN Thread and they are very attentive, but when they collect money they disappear from Bitcointalk and go to Twitter, then they start traveling everywhere in Europe and America under the argument that they are looking for partnerships. I get really angry about this

look at many projects of 2017 and you will see that the creators haven't done any post on ANN Thread in years

[jahepahit]

At this moment no one is expected to use COVID-19 as an excuse to launch or get things done on their project. The good and serious project will keep getting things done no matter what.

[lienfaye]

If they want to continue their project and make it succeed there's always a way to do it as long as the team is determine to push it through despite of the pandemic, as op said zoom app is useful to communicate and make a plan.

Well its not unusual to see a projects failing or turning to scam because even without virus its already happening. This pandemic is just an excuse to people when something bad happen to their project.

There are many ways to get your project completed even when the members are from different countries and even in lockdown as well, you can have zoom meets or can do discussions on slack, telegram or discord channels. The projects are just trying to delay the working product until it is listed on an exchange and then dump the tokens reserved for the development team on the buyers who are thinking that the projects are having some life in it. Although some projects might be having a genuine problem where their development team might have been infected from COVID or any other genuine reason, but the main thing that keeps your customers with you is transparency and care towards them, if you give your 100% then the investors and customers will always support you too.

[Mulann2]

It appears covid-19 has now become a perfect excuse for project to bail out on supporters and investors, like the op already pointed out, the team don't need to be under the same roof to get things done, thanks to app like zoom, meeting and conference are carried out with less stress, so what is the excuse!

[filterMX]

yes that's right because project work is not bound by time and place, we can do it at home if indeed the project is constrained because of COVID-19, it is just an excuse to postpone the ongoing project.
