You are not and you shouldn't. The project is a total shit, so if the shit is priced a few cents more, it is still a shit. The Aeternity team is almost all from eastern europe. Their communication skills are tragic, the project is depleted from the ICO capital and the question is what happened with it. There is no way this project will gain traction. The tech stack is complete disaster, nobody can work on it apart of the contractors hired. The language (Erlang) is not a popular language like Go or other modern and easier languages where if you structure a code properly, it is easy to understand, test and develop making the project transparent, easy to audit, test, develop and extend. The Aeternity is just a long string of mistakes, mismanagement, hacks, delistings, all of it lead to a final disaster. This is a dying project with just a rare dead cat bounces. There are so many better projects with a brilliant teams with excellent communication skills and a top notch management. Just answer yourself, would you let Yanislav Malahov and Nikola Stojanow to execute your start-up? I won't. It is better stay away from them.

This one is directed to me.




I like when people takes time to criticize and share hate but don't take time to understand what they are talking about. You see something and you express your opinion without knowing the rules behind or even the process needed.

I was responsible for this challenge of getting æternity own's stackexchange. You can check the entire story of this process, how SE works, what are the stages, what we achieved and what we didn't.

https://forum.aeternity.com/t/stackexchange-aeternity-presence-we-need-all-our-community-to-collaborate/8264

There is no hidden story, no pressure, no nothing, nobody banning or shutting anybodies opinion. We tried to achieve something to grow more and better our community that we knew all the time it could be nearly impossible but we also knew that this helps our promotion, helps to onboard new people interested and also help US to understand and keep learning to do our work better.

Take your time on walking through all the events and enlighten us with your experience or even better prove us how wrong we are and show us how you did it better.

Little side note. Cardano started their process on getting listed on SE and they achieved, this time. They tried 3 times before.


Regards.

Definitely you will says whatever you want for discredit æternity. At least show some proofs so people can verify instead of trusting on your tales.

Blockchain community, don't trust. Verify!

I think you are right. As I understand even AE community has bad opinions about this project. I don't know what team have to do to change it. Maybe they need change direction of project development, or invest many money in marketing. But at first they have to convince community to buy AE.

Aeternity took so many shortcuts when building the blockchain that it is very difficult for them to provide basic features that Ethereum accomplished in 1 year. Ethereum was a novel blockchain with many new features. You could expect Aeternity to be a superior in terms of features, development speed, and tech stack, when you take a consideration that it received massive ICO fundings and received more fundings in ICO:

- Ethereum received ~ $16 millions in BTC
- Aeternity received ~ $25 millions in BTC and ETH

The question is what happened with this massive ICO funding as Yanislav Malahov and Nikola Stojanow never revealed that and banned people who asked that. It looks like these fund are depleted (?!). Now Aeternity is in a development starvation and after many years still have no basic features that Ethereum had in 1 year with smaller funds!

The problem with Aeternity is that it is deeply connected with Erlang language while Ethereum was language agnostic. Aeternity has just one implementation in Erlang. Ethereum has many implementations in C++, Go, Python, JS. Why it is so important? Because when you are language agnostic everything is specified in with a high level of abstraction and it is easy to implement part of the protocol in many languages. This way you can read and write the state of the smart-contracts for example in a web browser. You can see what is going to be signed, what data has been compiled to feed to the smart-contract and what the response is. You don't need to ping a server, the code in your web browser can do this and all of this was achieved within 1 year! Aeternity is contrast despite more funding received can't achieve that after several years! As I said the its protocol implementation is so highly related to Erlang that they decided to transpile Erlang to JS to run parts of the protocol in a web browser. Jesus, how ugly this is! This way they hope the would be able to run smart contracts in a web browser, compile data and decode it. It is not done yet, the development is so slow an unpredictable that many companies just abandoned developing on Aeternity, they have decided it is too big risk for them as the Aeternity is immature, not stable, prone to the 51% attacks and with no good standard of development tools. And the last news at the end. A developer (a student) that worked on that recently left Aeternity. Well, I can only advise them to hire another student, developer from well, Nigeria or India, because they have very big experience with that.

Do you know that Aeternity organization as a whole is not transparent and doesn't try to be. Instead it banned those community members who dare to ask inconvenient questions. For example, after conducting ICO and raising around $28 mil USD for the contribution campaign in 2017 (around 235.000 ETH and 11.000 BTC).

235.000 ETH and 11.000 BTC are worth $946 millions now!
Yes, you read it right... almost 1 billion dollars!

Apart of that, they were still very hungry of capital and they decided to ask for more funds and conducted BRI action which gave them ~10% of mining rewards. How all these funds are spent is not transparent. Aeternity is not transparent from the beginning and we don't know what happened with that massive capital in the past nor in the present.

That nontransparency, ignorace and arrogance of the founders, led more and more crypto entites to stay away from Aeternity. Starting from businesses, up to the crypto exchanges, which decided to block withdrawals and delisted AE tokens. After Binance, now Bithumb decided to delist it. Aeternity is a trap, it doesn't inspire in a positive way. It has disastrous setup from the beginning, monetary policy is terrible and when I will have a time I will try to estimate how much capital miners received from securing (and then attacking, LOL) blockchain with almost no economic activity, with no real case smart-contract scenarions in use. Those setup destroyed the inital community of believers and then rewarded toxic miners instead.

Aeternity is ill-conditioned from the beginning.

Aeternity's standards are way too far from the community standards.
Such compromised project can't have its place in a scene.

Aeternity has many jobs listed here: https://angel.co/company/aeternity-blockchain/jobs

Don't let them fool you on that! They can list as many jobs as they want. They always tried cheap marketing. It is as true as their "Company size: 51-200 people" information and similarly as true as tons of people working on Aeternity listed in their website (wow, that must have impressed crypto-space years ago).

Never believe in what they say. Don't let them fool you. Verify. Many exchanges verified them and decided to delist them.

And ask yourself what happened whith 235.000 ETH and 11.000 BTC they have collected in the ICO that are worth $1.5 billions now!
Yes, you read it right... 1.5 billion dollars! Ethereum was built with just $16 millions in BTC. And now you get the idea how honest they are.


Apart of that, looking back on that comments:

That  were a really good points, don't you think?

Meet Aeternity co-founder Nikola Stojanow with his wife Stefka Stojanow. Both working in Aeternity Ventures according to https://aeventures.io/. He was very happy to be one that was honored to manage 235.000 ETH and 11.000 BTC Aeternity collected in the ICO that are worth $1.5 billions now!

Trust him. Trust the process. And repeat after me Aeternity is not BitConneeeeeeect, Aeternity is not OneCoin! Aeternity is the best blockchain ever according to the Great Grandfather of Ethereum Yanislav Malahov.
