Hi @cryptobadi, Thank you for the article. First off this is Halo-Scott, the founder, and I'm glad to have a chance to address any issue or misconception you have.

Firstly, the delays were never jokes. Each one was painfully announced, but ultimately for the betterment of the Platform. You may not truly understand what we have released and built to date, because a lot of it is only visible from a back end view. These are the building blocks that will allow us to push the Platform to reach the full vision.

On your second point, I am active in our Discord every day, and depending on the question you posed, or what I exactly have going on at that moment (meetings, paperwork etc) dictates how much time I have to specifically answer any one person. I can tell you though I make every attempt to chat on a 1:1 basis with anyone asking questions. This has been over a year of my time planning and developing the Platform and I love talking about it to new people who are just hearing about it.

On your third point, I'll go back to our bloggers and check if they know the guy. I know the article is about how Cryptocurrencies can benefit developing countries, and the picture is fitting for that.

I myself don't prefer Telegram at all, I find it a difficult medium to actually communicate with individuals as a whole once you cross 50-75 active speakers. We also have limited time in a day to chat because of our development first focus, we have to pick and choose which mediums to use then. Our entire organization is on that Discord channel, which allows us to separate topics by categories and subcategories so we can better track flow of conversation.
That being said, I realize a lot of individuals do prefer Telegram, so we have started using Telegram more for those that. You've shown our announcement TG page, the active community is at t.me/haloplatform and is still growing as we've only been promoting the channel for maybe a month.

You seem to possibly have some misconception also, we have launched. Our mainnet and masternode system have been live for over a month now. We have nearly 850 masternodes and growing daily. The next key pieces for the Platform are the Multi-Coin Wallet and Exchange Control piece which are about complete. Along with the exchanges being almost complete.

We have posted numerous patches and updates over the last month to Featherlite, that both improves functionality and introduces new features. I believe we have now exhibited a strong showing of development.

I don't ever make claims that we will shake the market. I have aspirations and measurable goals for the success of it, and I wholly believe we will.

On the joking side, our core team repeatedly puts in 60-80 hrs a week individually. The Platform and Discord are our second home. In real life I joke a lot, it's who I am. Whether a defense mechanism for my own short comings with social interactions with people, or because I'm a Dad and I make Dad Jokes. It's my center that keeps me focused on the daily work. That and listening to Classical music.

I can only be me, it's the only person I know how to be. If I did not be that person then I feel I would be being dishonest to everyone that meets me.

I implore you stop by the discord again and drop me a personal message (Halo-Scott#0001) and we can chat more to make sure any questions or concerns you have are addressed.

Thanks!
