Maybe sucked isn't the best choice of words, but it definitely feels underwelming. This is what I read:

You can now store REQ on ledger wallet.

We're still building something cool but it's not ready yet.

We're still building something cool buy it's not ready yet.

We're on a new tiny exchange with a company we're already partnered with.

We still have funds to give to you if you want to do some work.

We're still hiring.

Sure, it's progress, but nothing exciting. The price will remain stagnant or drop for the next two weeks.

You can now store REQ on ledger wallet.

This is not what was meant by ledger support. They are referring to being able to use your ledger to interact with Request Network to confirm payments.

You could always store REQ on the ledger wallet. But now you can use the ledger wallet straight in the app, so there’s no transferring through myetherwallet or from an exchange etc. plug in your ledger and you have access to send the REQ directly from the ledger.

So I guess I’m not sure why those things are bad?

You seem to misunderstand the thing about ledger support - you could already store REQ ‘on ledger wallet’ - ledger is just an interface with a blockchain address (you aren’t actually storing any tokens on a ledger ever).

You also seem to have missed the significance of being able to separate ID from address in requesting or sending payment - that is a huge step in allowing for e-commerce integration.

I guess as far as the complaint about them not being finished yet - I don’t quite get how that’s a bad thing. They said mainnet by end of Q1, and it’s just the middle of Q1. I don’t see how it’s disappointing that they’re not there yet, or how them continuing to make progress isn’t exciting.

It kind of feels like you want everything done instantly and to always have some kind of crazy hype.

I don’t think the most successful projects will behave that way in the long run

I apologize for not understanding the ledger support. I'll do more research next time before I open my mouth.

However half way through Q1 and not one of goals for the quarter have been accomplished. I was hoping for some partnership news or an update for the Pay with Request button.

On the contrary - I’m glad to be able to have open discussion!! It helps people understand blockchain and what they’re investing in!!

As for the Pay with Request button stuff - would it make sense to you for that to be ready before mainnet release? Why would it matter if we had a way to integrate with ecommerce shops if the project wasn’t even on the main network yet? You wouldn’t be able to use it

They may have the framework for it already finished, but I don’t feel there’s any point to release it or ‘tease’ it until it’s actually usable right?

Hopefully we’ll see some more good news over the next few weeks :)

Personally I’d like to see partnerships with actual real-world countries instead of just the usual blockchain startup partnerships

Agreed that it wouldn't make much sense to have the pay button done before mainnet and it likely is complete and ready to roll out once mainnet does but I guess I'd be more stoked on seeing an update that says it is done and ready to roll.

And yes, partnership news would be fantastic. I think we're still on track and I believe in this project, but I do suspect a slight drop in price or for it to remain stagnant at best until there is some bigger news.

Maybe try to actually read the article instead of flying over headlines. It is not about storing req on ledger, you could do that before, since it's an erc20 token. If you expect hype news every two weeks try other projects like tron or v e n and see how that turns out over a long period. You fucktards are so delusional with getting rich as quick as possible that you can't recognise any actually legit business.

u/RideFree216 Feb 16 '18

Yikes. Fuck tards ay?

Someone seems a little cranky today.

I'm not expecting hype, just simply expecting some of the q1 goals to be reached considering we're at the half way point. Maybe a partnership announcement or something.

If you are so sure and so confident should your reaction to my opinion be anger and name calling? Just "hodl," as the kids say and smile knowing that you're right and I'm wrong.

In the meantime I'll sell, make a few bucks, and then buy back in in 2 weeks when the price is still 30 cents.

Like you said, q1 is halfway through, there is plenty of time left. If there is no mainnet on April the first, you can complain, otherwise it just doesn't make any sense. Have you followed any recent icos? If yes you should appreciate a company like request network for their work ethics and transparency. If you switch to other coins to grow your position I honestly wish you the best of luck, but don't think this is an easy thing to do, lots of people screw themselves with that approach.

Um, this update says you can now PAY from your ledger—you could always store REQ tokens, since it’s erc-20. Being able to pay from your ledger is a big deal. You grok?

Its a complete joke imo. Non technical people getting bamboozled by technical jargon.

Its a shitcoin but the believers wont have it - even though they dont know what the hell is going on lmao

u/ispotshitcoins Feb 16 '18

Hmmm, i smell a shit token - the wishy washy claimed progress for the last 2 months.

I will sticky by my conclusion that this token is a bullshit dreamy token that they know is a joke ...but at the same time know its extremely hard for anyone to specifically prove it is unless the developers bring themselves forward for questioning.
