It would be cool if we got a better understanding of who the Founding Team is, and what their intentions are moving forward.
I know we have a road map, but I am currently more concerned with the logistics and who controls that.
EDIT
I had to dig really deep to find this one…
Since Andrey was apart of the founding team, and he was essentially let go, who controls the salary, and who can decide to fire people? A clear understanding of the current structure is very much needed.
The founder I guess. Unknown to the new guys, well-known to the ones who were here from the start.
@aaron my friend you were the voice that spoke for Incognito…it is sad you are departing and will be much missed…I thank you for your friendship and support that you extended to this project while you were part of the growth team…please now that you have departed do not be a ghost and check up on us from time to time…happy trails to youuuuuuu…lol…good luck bro on your personal endeavors…Tempestblack… 
This is terrible news and a huge disappointment. I might be new to the community, as Jaime will endlessly point out, both derisively and ironically, but I had high hopes… However, this mindset explains a lot of the path this project has taken over the last 6months…
Needless to say, the dev work seems to be top notch but without accountability, clarity, or transparency. All of which were already poor, and will no doubt get worse, and the likelihood of success goes down significantly with your and the growth teams departure.
Best wishes, @aaron. You seemed a voice of reason in an otherwise clusterf*&k of a project, communication- and management-wise.
I appreciate the more formal communication because I somehow missed the memo for quite some time. I imagine this was a difficult decision and although I don’t think the devs should be focusing on community management, I also don’t think incognito in the current state is ready for mass adoption. There is simply too many patched-together fixes, which is natural as software develops. A focus on first-principles development is very exciting!
As far as I know, there is nothing that I can use that can replace incognito, so I will continue to use it. Cheers to everyone and let me know if or how I can help.
what MR. Autonomous?
Wish Incognito was better at communication tbh.
This statement is designed to be obscure and not provide information. What is the point of that?
Yes! In Duy Incognito trusts
“everyone that is not a developer was let go from the Incognito Project to align with the current refocus on development and preparing the network for release.”
Wait what?? Wasn’t the network released yet? If not where is all my money locked up??
Who is/are the founders??
Who is accountable?
I’m sorry to see everyone go,
I love this app,
I hope one day the backend will be as nice as the front end and we will have transparency, trustless, communicative team…
The next version of the network is what is being referred to.
These are some good questions. I would love to see an answer.
Nothing changed, no matter how hard people are trying to fud “things are tumbling down”.
Who’s responsible, accountable, hasn’t changed. Those are the same people who were responsible, accountable, last week, and the week before that, and even the same people as 6 months back.
As already stated above, the network release relates to the next version of the network. Incognito is a project in progress. It is great to see effort is put in moving forward.
No it’s just been revealed to the community that their concerns don’t matter, and they don’t have a say. At least that’s what it currently looks like to me. I just want some answers and I don’t see any forthcoming.
Thanks for the candid update @aaron and all the best to you. I will miss the growth team and the monthly video calls with @andrey @duc and others.
I found the growth team to be quite active on this community forum. I’ll miss being able to “@” mention them on ideas and questions etc.
I hope the Node Tree doesn’t get shelved as I think that would be key to the growth of the incognito network. I really enjoyed seeing photos posted on it’s progress.
I just wonder whether the developers will read anything that this community posts on these forum pages.
Hello Developers, If an Incognito developer reads this message, can you please reply and provide the community on how we can engage with the developers moving forward?
Hey @Linnovations, I’ve read your message (and others’ as well) for sure. As you may know, the whole core devs team is now focusing on development in order to make the project better in terms of platform and product first since a better platform/product will be the best answer to the concerns. (for the fud, sorry I have to ignore in order to avoid wasting time)
For the engagement, we will keep the community updated about development progress, there will be a few important releases this week and next week. The posts for those will be published soon, it’s better if we can discuss these real and valuable things instead of fud/complaints, thanks.
You’re an awesome example of the quality of this team and the expected level of discourse to be had
Thank you @duc for your reply to my comment and I look forward to the upcoming news and release.
I shall continue to support this amazing project as I feel it provides a critical and much needed feature in crypto which is privacy.
Yes, there may be other privacy solutions gathering attention at the moment, but I’m 100% behind Incognito and will continue to run my vNode ( https://we.incognito.org/t/step-by-step-how-i-built-a-virtual-node-on-worlds-smallest-mini-pc/ )
Thank you Dev Team and keep up the good work!
Yep, and apparently valid concerns are unimportant FUD. No discussions are even being considered. Whatever… To each his own I guess.
I would imagine the community decides on what’s valuable. If the concerns are both real and valuable to the community, then they do matter.
Thanks @aaron for all your efforts you have put into Incognito.
I wish you good luck in your future life. Stay safe.
