Aero Community,Coin Swap Notice
Coin Swaps are now over.
I will clear what reamining swap requests I have left on my books (which were made upto this point) but I cannot accept anymore requests for coin swaps. Regarding users who have been buying from the Cryptsy books and making another coin-swap request for the second time, third time and even Forth time coin swap requests,
I'm sorry but this just isnt going to happen!
I cannot be the go between arbitrage man for cheap AERO > AM swaps via the back doors. I am seeking Cryptsy's support for closing down the AERO market and switching to AM market in its place asap! Sorry, but this is a little bit of horseshit Dev, Its on you to produce a platform.
Yes, i totally agree, I make no excuses nor did I attempt to! I was merely making the point that I doubt very much the AM market will be delisted due to lack of 0.2btc 7 day average cant be meet by the 16th
I, and many others promoted the shit out of Aero, and were gaining investors, and then you dropped a surprise coin swap on us...
I know how much work you have put into this Mitch and the work of the other guys behind this. This community (Our community) is one of the finest I have seen, I really mean that !!
Regarding the Swap This was a nasty by-product of poor decisions made by myself during the IPO
this was not how I planned things to happen. Now, we can't promote a coin that hasn't released a feature in 4 months, and had a coinswap.
I disagree, however i see your jobs have been made a lot harder.
The fact we have had a successful coin-swap is a PR story no?
Features come and they go, like a fad. I am aiming for persistent features which actually have some real world usage!
The fact Aero holders now have x 0.58333333 more coins than the did prior to swap that's a story?
One of the most important factors to a successful coin/project is the community aspect.. We have that! That in itself is a huge marketing angle.
But, the story about
how the Developer listened to the AERO community better judgement and survived a failed IPO.
How AM was born from the AERO ashes after a successful coin swap process.. These are "community" marketing angles
How the developer managed to carry out multiple manual coin-swaps on top of his normal workload.. now thats a story
How Community member now have a say on how their community fund is used to better a project.. that's a angle..
How the AeroME Platform is being put together "live" in the real worlds.. that's a story..
How Bittrex exchange team and the dev helped to execute a coin-swap and helped to keep the AM network "up" and running over Xmas period.. in the face of multiple problems now that's a story..
How the developer maintained the network when the worlds was falling apart around him.. now that's a story..
How AERO/AM is in the process of having a blog post of one of the most promising Alts for 2015 in the making.. now thats a story!
So, there is plenty to be creative about purely in news terms around this swap process alone!
Its impossible without coming off like a scam. Im all in to promote once the release happens, but you've handcuffed the community.
How so? Just reporting alone on the information surrounding the swap is promotion.. Admittedly not the news people want to read or particularly hear about.
But this is the thing about PR.. there should be a constant stream/barrage of news/info.
How have I "handcuffed" the community?
Please Don't fixate on just one aspect of this project this is a multifaceted project. The platform is one part.. what about the coin itself..?
BUT what about the platform.. ?
Any info about the open nature of the platform, how "freelance" developers will be able to make their own custom modlues for the platform.
How it will create a whole plug-in/add-on/extension ecosystem built up around the platform itself?
I'm not knocking you here, definitly not so.. What im saying is that perhaps instead of fixating on the actual release date maybe its time to start hyping on stuff like this.
Its far from me to tell you how to do your thing, im just spit balling here as I leave that kind of "creative" thinking up to you guys, as your far better than me at this kind of thing than me and is also one of the things you guys do best.
You gotta come up big, thats just apart of being a developer. Its a pretty damn good community in my opinion, and we're hanging in there... but you can't expect endless funds with no results.
I intend to fulfill my promises and deliver on this project (and others avenues outlined in some of my previous posts),
regardless of external factors. I may have been quiet on the release front for 4 months but then again I havent.. New coin/Coinswap/manual coinswap/ deploying live platform.!!!!! which can look contradictory to whats actual being put out there so 4 months more like 5 weeks. (Dec 1st 2014)
Yes, Like i said to, we have a bloody excellent community which is why I will not let you down. I cant say thank you enough for sticking in there.
... but you can't expect endless funds with no results.
Endless funds.. do you mean endless funds to support the coin price or endless funds for development work?
I assume for AM price stabilization, as if you meant "endless funds" for dev work I have no intentions nor, expect endless funds.
I am extremely grateful and humbled at the 600k AM dev fund to wit has not 1 AM has been touched Out of the possible 1Mil AM kindly offered by the community.
£260 has come from my own pocket just the other day plus with another £110-150 costs expected later this week when the Mongo DB VPS and the Heruku VPS come online.
This is what i meant when i said this is going to happen like it or not! Im to far committed to back down nor would I do such a thing, we all come to far!
It also doesn't help when you give no time frame... I understand why you do that, but saying we need to hold volume when there is no time frame is an issue. A week vs months makes a difference. Just give us a range...
I will not give time frame. As i stated countless times before. I am glad you also can see why i dont give dates not just out of price fairness but truth be told the sheer complexity of this project timelines are easily missed and I DO NOT want to alienate the community even further towards myself due to missing a timeline.
This is the exact reason why I don't expect anyone to hold vol. but more so on what you believe in me and also in the project as a whole!
But the point I was trying to make was simply..
I believe we have enough between us
and what it takes to make sure the market can be kept up and not delisted.
0.2 btc 7-day average is not that much.BTW We are not talking months away here.. Would I have spent that cash just the other day if i thought it were months down the line until its ready?? Professional servers, Enterprise hosting infrastructure doesn't come cheap (not for my/our requirements anyway!) and is paid on a per monthly basis however economy of scales means paying bi-annually makes for the best cost Vs. return on the packages..
So, based on that info I think that you can work out a rough time line from that statement alone. If i thought it was months away I would have waited another month (or longer) before paying for the service rental.
--We are so very close and now that I have the majority of manual coin swaps done I can focus on getting this project
deployed.!
Believe me I understand and can see how this proves a difficulty proposition for you and others involved.
Ive got 2 btc on trex right now holding the price at 1k . Thats the best I can do on a promise. Its a hard project to deliver even with your skill set.
Mitch, it should go without saying by now but i will say it again.. Thank you for you time, dedication, energy and support..
We have had our chats in the past, I think you have a fairly good idea of what i can and cant do very well.. lol, you know im a shit gfx guy but code.. Coding is what i do, its what i live and breath.
I will pull it off!
I appreciate for comments mitch, Please Stick in there.
Respectfully,
majika
I have began build up a Advertisement budget most of which were freebies from the hosting packages and services which i purchased.
I will lease with the community to discuss where this will be best spent
So, when the time is right I will "activate" these freebies but I will also start to set aside some additional funds for a regular advertisement budget
