So, a few idiots burned all the money they got from XCR ICO and are now moving to yet another ICO to get more money to burn. Then they will move to yet another ICO and so on, very pathetic.
Actually, we completed all core features promised, over a 2 year period, on an initial fundraiser that lost 70% of it's value in the BTC crash. We initially raised the BTC equivalent of about $487,000, but BTC crashed about a month or two after and lowered our operating budget to about $150,000. By not being greedy (looking at you Eth devs) and accepting salaries of $250 a month or less for many on the team (despite having engineers and team members who were worth much more), we were able to continue development with a team numbering up to I think 12 or 15 at one time for the entire initial outlined time period and complete feature development on everything outlined in our initial goals and then some. We can also now say that we have built, open sourced, and launched to the community one of the most advanced core decentralized technologies in the market place and done it on a fraction of the budget of the other major players.
The core team members are not moving on to the new ICO or company and feel we have accomplished the goals we set for Crypti, the technology. At this point it's up to the people to use it. It just so happens that 2 of our initial community members who we brought on to help with the development cycle have some really strong ideas on where to go with the technology and want to pursue it on their own terms, which is totally legal and why open source software exists. Just as they have done, so can anyone else in the world who has an idea. We built the core technology that can make so many industries and ideas a reality, all you have to do is try.
For those upset about the core network, or forks taking away its potential, I have this to say. Crypti can't be shut down or turned off if you don't let it. If you believe in the network, your investment, and the potential that it has, then fight for it. Tell your friends, tell developers, tell people what it can do. Bitcoin became bitcoin because the core enthusiasts made it happen. Because a few nerdy guys geeked out on what it was and what it was capable of doing and kept spreading the word until they found the right people who pushed it to the next level.
Bitcoin still runs because the people run it. No project like Crypti can ever exist without the support of the people, especially those who truly believe in it. It could never run forever off the backs of 5 people, that's just fact.
But that's just my 2 cents....
Sorry if I seem a bit offended or emotional, but I think anyone who's been with me here since the beginning can understand. It's been a long road to this point.
