If i may say something, would you remove the negative thoughts/ opinion about other POS currencies like nxt, nem etc in the announcement. It will do no good in anyway and will actually turn hostile to this coin. Felt like saying it. Frankly i didnt like it. Bringing down someone else to prove its something superior is imho, not good.
Thanks for your advice! Can you be more specific and quote the sections or phrases you think overstepped?
I definitely do NOT want to fall into the trap of criticising other crypto coin projects unnecessarily, so if I have done that I would like to correct that.
I think it is necessary and legitimate when 'promoting' something that you refer to alternatives and competition, but that should be based on facts and honest opinion. I am a big supporter of POS, and have a holding in NXT, NEM & Qora.
This project, Kora, had its genesis from trying to evaluate recent crypto projects and LEARN from past experience. What did previous coin projects do well? What areas could be improved upon?
I think many people are big supporters of crypto projects generally, but they can still see weak points in even the serious crypto projects that most people respect the most (bitcoin, NXT, Ripple, Etherium, eMunie, Counterparty, Mastercoin, NEM, Qora etc etc), and if strategies to overcome some of those weaknesses can be put into practice in another project to make a 'brother' crypto stronger that is unambiguously positive IMO.
I've said before that I see ALL current crypto projects (including bitcoin and NXT) as entities on an evolutionary path. No crypto is perfect so far, but collectively we have learnt a lot in a short space of time, and as time goes on we will get closer and closer to legitimate global decentralised financial tools.
Let me freely admit now - Kora will not be the perfect crypto coin. Mistakes will be made, and mistakes have already been made, but hopefully we're a valid stepping stone on the path to better and better outcomes. People are free to point out our mistakes, and I encourage that, but I hope it is done with honesty and in a spirit of crypto community camaraderie. As long as you 'play the ball and not the man' I think its OK to be 'free & frank' with your opinions.
As long as a project isn't trying to scam people, and they act in a transparent way wherever possible I am always trying to see how that project can add something to the greater crypto experiment.
I've been labelled a scammer by many for my actions with Kora, so I appreciate and value your advice to not overly denigrate other coins and their supporters, thank you!
