@zire, thanks for chiming in!
I think all of us are on the same page regarding welcoming any projects and developers to the IC!
What motivated most people here to speak up was the upcoming SNS sale in the post title. Therefore, I don’t think the criticism here is unfair or unwarranted.
Here’s the founder of ICP, Dominic Williams’ own perspective - What is the bar for a project decentralizing with the SNS?.
I agree 100% with you this is probably a communication barrier thing.
Herbert, maybe you can help communicate DFINITY’s vision on what the SNS is for, and when a project is ready to SNS to the IC Asia community?
Right now, this forum is full of SNS project announcements all over, with each project having over 1yr of being public on the IC - all are getting their due diligence and constructive criticism (like any company that fundraises or IPOs).
If you are a project that wants to announce an upcoming SNS - the community will do their DD on you.
If you don’t want that level of scrutiny or aren’t ready for it - there’s no pressure to SNS. On ICP, anyone can launch their own token and project without an SNS!
