Do you have any source or where did you get this information? Are you a member of the team? No offense for the skeptical questions, but you're a pretty new user.

Management?! Sounds like union speak.

IMO your continued arrogance and ignorance in thinking you'll affect change must stop... or not. IDGAF about your whining.

I have said exactly this time and time again.

So many have seen the error of their ways now regarding supporting such an insane distributional method knowing full well huge swathes were going to the ico managers of competing projects.

Also not following through with the full moons after many investors bought on that premise.

Not listening to the community many times on many different issues.

I am still collecting this project even now because I do not think all is lost but tonych must react quickly and show willing to at least engage the community rather than just ignoring posts he does not agree with.

The project should be 100M or even 500M  now with a few tweaks and some community cohesion and belief.

Still all of this has been good for accumulating lots of byteball at a very low rate. Small risk now in terms of loss but lots of possible upside.

We will see. Hopefully lots of incoming progress that will turn things around.

Thing is Tonych works very hard compared to most devs and is of course smarter than 99% of other devs too.

Needs to  be more of a team player than lone wolf. Community and trust is important to gain the network effect that is lacking here.

At its current cap though it has to be one of the top 5 bets available out there.

Anyway we will see. Hope for the best for byteball anyway.

Everyone here already knows that you think so, no need to keep announcing that. Do something useful for Byteball or sell your coins.

You never listen to us.
Just some facts
Bitcoin & bytebal airdrops:
1. people joined such as: Marc De Mesel, Richard Heart, Kaiserex, Milan enthusiast, @neversaynever, @seb, @pxrunes, Rogier Eijkelhof. Very small part of what i can remember. And thousands of not so publicly but still active people. Check first pages of this and russian threads.
‏2. have placed gbyte in top 40.
3. created one of the largest communities in the altcoin space (check the first pages, early slack).
4. listing to one of the biggest altcoin exchange at that times (bitrex).
5. created one of the largest hype in the altcoin space.
5. a) created liquidity, without which adoption is impossible.
6. added hundreds of merchants in Milano
simple, unrelated questions:
 Why did you cancel airdrop, if you could just reduce the volume?
 Do you think steam bots, bitcointalk shitposters, twitter reposters added more value than early followers which came here from bitcoin airdrop? Do you even count it in some way? Or you just turned on the crazy mode and follow your paranoik advisors?

That's right!
I have already argued with angels' tongues and tried to lead the project in an important direction... you don't even get an answer.

At some point it's enough and you just have to get clearer.
Most critics probably showed less perseverance and have left the sinking ship for a long time.

But last few airdrops failed to attract any significant number of new users while quickly consuming the undistributed pool

- The goal is not only to attract, but also to keep existing community. Saving existing community in the network without use cases and airdrops! How? Tony did you even think about it?
- The last few airdrops is not a representative sample to make conclusions, especially when the results of actions based on these findings may entail the death of the nascent community.
- Why it was impossible to make a soft decision and instead of cancelling only reduce the volume?

side note. You throw links, the content of which you not tried to accept critically. In trying to show me the obvious. You have not answered to any of my questions. As a sectarian following the leader blindly.

it is not so much about consent, but about the rejection of reality. The case against was not considered and the community was destroyed. Now there is no community, no merchants, price destroyed. You right, agreeing with someone does not mean being a sectarian. Being a sectarian means following the leader even when everyone around see an alternate reality.
The truth sounds on almost every page of this topic in the past 8 months: removing the only initiative of be a ball holder, Tony did not provide a qualitative alternative. If Tony had not been so harsh, he would have understood that without use cases community will collapse without airdrops. Because there are alternatives on the market that have either use cases, or holding initiatives, or both. Airdrop was a glue, keeping the community together and making it productive, until the real use cases will not cover the majority of the community.

I have first hand experience on telling him 100x at the start of this project not to knowingly allow huge swathes of this to go for free into the hands of other ico mangers

Sadly now these competitors had huge bags of free byteball we had to stop the airdrops to those that INVESTED in buying byteball on the basis of getting the free airdrops. This destroyed trust further.

I have seen multiple people call for a change in the exchange unit to megabyte so that the huge group of people that are under the impression that byteball was too expensive to risk investing so went with the far cheaper iota.

I leave the design to the experts like tony. The obvious things that damage the project that could be changed quite simply he does not listen to at all.

"There are plenty of people with their own opinion how things should be in cryptoverse. None of the projects need people like that, only people who make things happening are needed"

Wrong again. The plenty are always needed in some way else you will get no network effect a be relegated to page 10 on cmc.

You simply need a leadership who can bring the plenty around to their way of thinking. On the deeper technical aspects it is not essential the plenty understand what is beyond their scope. However on other more straight forward matters discussion is required to build a strong community. Without that then it is highly unlikely you will get the network effect required to become relevant here. When a community feels it is ignored it will move away to other projects.

I like tony and he seems very honest and hardworking. He should employ a good community manager whom can interface with him and the community.

Why We Are Integrating Ethereum into OpenBazaar

In a previous article we explained how we’re integrating Ethereum into OpenBazaar in addition to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Zcash. In this article we want to talk about why we’re integrating Ethereum.

Instead of Ethereum, bite ball would certainly have been more interesting.

Bite ball needs above all usability, so I pointed out this option several months ago. But at that time bite ball was still in the top 50.

But that doesn't matter. You can integrate the OpenBazaar concept completely within bite ball, as already mentioned several times.
