not that they are unsatisfied then ..
I had already forgotten that. But given that bond market will still require some time it's probably useless to wait for it.
Let's get started ... where is the action plan, we need a roadmap and we need to come up with a strategy!
Who is going to take the lead?
I can coordinate as much as I have time for. Luckily I'll lose my job in a few weeks so I'll have some time to spend on this (unless I find a new one quickly).
My vision is in the OP and roughly that will be the strategy/roadmap. Probably not everybody fully agrees what should be done, so I encourage to suggest other strategies. I'll do what I see is best and wish that as many as possible will follow my lead. But we can do many strategies at the same time – most important thing is that we do something and we do it at the same time.
I recommend that everybody starts to think what kind of marketing they are most motivated to do and be ready to action when the time comes.
MaidSafe didn't promises big things, they just said "hey guys, we are going to release a minimum viable wallet" and everybody get exited by themselves. Just check the current market trend they have. These people won't be disapointed because they didn't promise more than what they will have.
We should do the same. If we don't have bond market working in the wallet, we have to say that bond market is already coded in the blockchain protocol and is one of our millestone. Not that we have it just like the web page lead people to beleive, this lead to bad reputation.
Yeah, one of the first things is to update website to reflect what's really going on. Outdated and mixed messages are not good way of communication.
Another thing, lot of poeple in the polo troll box thing that bts is a dead project (funny). We should have something dinamic in the bts.org web page, something that is showing some kind of roadmap, what we just did, the updates, forks, ... Just to give a feeling of dynamism.
This should be easy to change because we adapt so quickly that nothing should be made to last for weeks or months.
This is why we really need somebody to write blog posts. It's easy way of signaling that project is going forward.
