The success of the project depends on the project developer himself!

The success of the project will not always depend on the developer. Why? There are so many things they need to consider, not just marketing, building up the roadmap, their product, their community, etc. These are only a few things that form a project, not only the developer.

project development without proper promotion and advertising will certainly not be able to succeed the project, the most important thing in the success of the project is to make their products acceptable in the community and widely used by everyone in the real world

I agreed with with summation however its very unfortunate that some developers abandoned their projects midway into their roadmap reasons known to them, take a look at the numbers of projects since 2017 till date and check the abandoned ones by their developers outweighs the others factors considered, developers are like the engine that moves the wagons such as marketing, products, promotions e.t.c once the engine breaks down hadly would the factors that needed for the project will cease to work or operate this project become unsuccessful.

In my opinion the success of the project depend on how great the idea of the project was and the marketing of the said project. All project can work out if the funds being gathered are enough to start the project implement it and that the one handling the project are good. Yet, most of the one that are handling projects are usually get attracted by the money and then probably running it away together with the team just like robbing from its investors. This is most the case that is happening in every ICO and no way now that investors will going to believe in it except for the new comers. This is why as a member of this forum in every posts I made I usually include in my post the awareness of the reality that has happening in those ICO projects that are almost all of it are scam and are failing and that no one is believing that it could do great.

Capabilities, reputation, credibility, Zeal, all this have to be present in a developers to achieve success in crypto space today because it's not that easy to get the attention needed for your new project, investors don't just invest on new projects anymore unless they are newbies to crypto and now that ICO have lost its trust to IEO investors prefer IEOs from top exchanges

The development of a project is indeed one of the aspects that determine a project's success, but depending on that alone, a project will never be successful. however, developers need to look at important aspects in attracting investors, such as promotions, marketing, products that are still useful, and different from others, and many more. however, people will not only see the development of a project, but how useful the project is to users or investors. developing a project that is not very attractive is a waste of time for the developer.

Apart from scammers that pretend to be developers we have many new developers that are lazy, they only want to make money and stop working on the project, crypto space lacks serious developers and since there is no way to make developers face some screening we won't know who really have blockchain technology experience or not

[kpierce77]

I think there is something we have to understand here. Isn't coding or development done after determining the product or goal of a project? if they are just bragging and don't show any solution, meaning they don't have a real use case, I'm sure the project will just end up as shitcoin. and for a quality project, I'm sure they won't easily do something without a clear purpose. determine the solution and also the product first then run the project correctly

[Bitbtc8]

Many projects will introduce good use cases but the teams aren't ready to back the project up, they just want to use the use case to lure investors, people understands the different between quality projects and bad projects today but scammers are ready to give people quality use cases too, it's why I prefer taking risks with projects that plans to use top exchanges for IEO, they can't scam people are run away without hunting them down

Developer team is the most essential part of a cryptocurrency project. So they often relate the failure and success of a project to the developer.
The development team has a vital responsibility to the project. Where they have to work on target, if not, cryptocurrencies cannot thrive.
Most times, the cause of the failure of a cryptocurrency project is because the developer team is no longer pursuing the original goal of the project
being worked on. So, the crypto project condition is not powerful enough.
Now there are many types of cryptocurrencies, and new projects are emerging, and competing to get as many users as possible.

Developers should keep working on new products or fresh utilities but instead many of them are repeating same old use cases we've seen a hundred times before, it's becoming tiring this days, I'm only moved by what is fresh and brand new or I'm better off with old crypto projects

I'm sure this is going to be an old trend in a moment, and investors won't be that foolish to invest in copycat projects that rely solely on a certain trend. now the market has grown quite well where bad projects will get rid of themselves and at best will become shitcoin if they enter the exchange

[cassavachips]

That is one of the keys to building an extraordinary project. Many things must be done, one of which is having a strong community. But most projects today don't dare to use a large chunk of investor's money actually to do something extraordinary. They should be doing it because that's what investors and the community expect.

The ICO craze has enabled a lot of these developers to just march out on their own and start coding, make a website, answer telegram questions etc etc, all the while thinking that they are doing something truly unique. They forget that at the end it is a business and they need a product. A product needs marketing, advertisement and all that shit. Yet, the problem with most of these so-called undervalued, good devs is that they all think they are on to something unique. It is impossible for everyone to be a Satoshi or a Bill Gates and make a business from scratch simply on the basis of the novelty and brilliance of their ideas. The echo chambers of their telegram/ Reddit groups makes it all the more easier to fall for this narrative.

They all could do much better only if they used some business sense and actually invested in marketing their product, meeting potential clients and just run an actual business.

Honestly if the project is serious and real I think that's not problem if they are active in telegram and marketing since it should be that way for what I know there are different groups in a company marketing, the developers, etc.

It's true that the team really need to have a good product in the end since it's the one matters.

[Marble777]

yes, the developer is important in a project. However, the success of a project is not only due to the developer but also due to several teams from the project itself. they are also involved because they are also part of the project team i.e. marketing and everything so that the project can actually attract investment in the market.

There's no such thing as "success" for altcoins, there's just a couple of altcoins that can be considered not total failures, like Ethereum or Monero. The rest is just garbage, no one uses them, no one will use them, the fact that their price have increased since their release is irrelevant, because eventually it will fall to zero. The world doesn't need even these hundreds and thousands of cryptocurrencies, so they are just bound to die at some point.

[Chuky92]

I agree with you to an extent. First the success of a project depends to a great extent on the team, that is, talking about idea, it is still the team that will bring it up, and keep working on it to make it worthy, reliable and presentable to both existing and potential investors. Also, talking about the success, one will add the marketing aspect; that is, what level of marketing has the team done towards bringing the project to more people and this is where the community comes in. So, the community needs to support the project in their best capacity because it is always a win win situation for all parties. However, I understand your point, in most projects, once the public sale is over, the team changes and keeps the community in the dark, thus leading to abandonment by the community. But nevertheless, in my own opinion, the success of a project depends on both the team and the community, so far the community are given the right attention.

The success of a project does not depend on the developer alone mate, if it does, then there will be a lot of successful projects cus I believe no developer wants to start a project and fail on purpose,
The success of a project is tied to Many factors and this factors are all focused on one common goal, "success of the project", if one part does its job well and the other part fail in its duties, there's a chance the project might still end up a failure, and to give you a hint of what I mean, community is very essential to the success of any project just like the developers is.

I disagree on the statement " I believe no developer wants to start a project and fail on purpose" why! Because to me it seems you are including those scammers in the equation,  

Those developers with the intention to succeed will work hard together with the support of their supporters to see the project succeed,
That school of thought does not applies to those scumbags who develop a project solely to scam investors on a short term period,

Developers are of different category, you separate the good from the bad, not making a general statement that will classify all as same, because they are not.

Well, youve clearly said it yourself, what I said was on a general note, I know that there are many developers out there that start a project with the sole purpose of scamming people and closing the project as soon as their aim is achieved, I didnt want to dive into this details so I made my comment generally based on the serious ones who come into the space with all genuinty.

I agree, I invested in 2 ICO's that had 100% funding (BZNT and LND) and their Telegram channels have closed down (literally one of them did).  Did they not strategically think of what they'll do with more than $10m in funds raised?

Its quite funny that he just created a new account just to post this thread .

Anyway to answer the question, the developer/s has a huge role to the success of the project yes but to rely solely on him to make the project successful is somewhat I disagree with. There are many things that affects the success of the project.

There is the project itself. Will the project benefit the people. Will the developers continue to support the project or at least make some development in the future. The community of the project will be a huge factor too because they are considered advertisers of the project and they play a big role towards the success of it. No community = low to no chance of the project to success.
