Hi,
I've been here for quite a while, some know me, some don't. My experience with the testnet is quite impressive. In the beginning i was a bit skeptical because many projects let their community down by not providing the development that they've engaged to do but things changed (for me) when i saw the level of commitment from the VITE team. Until now, VITE has provided everything i've been looking for:

• very user-friendly web wallet;
• fast and smooth transactions;
• good mobile wallet (tbh not the best but it's in early stages);
• easy to understand block explorer.

What i've personally wanted to look for (not from vite team) but from SBPs is that a community is being built around them. The things which SwissVite and SnapSecure are doing is something that every SBP should do. They're way of managing things and their work is something that proves (to me) that they have the best intentions to see VITE succeed (kudos to them for their work).
What i'm quite excited to see are the following things:

• vite smart contracts;
• the DEX which in my opinion will be a major factor in VITEs dApp ecosystem.

Hi,

1.) Reduce from 6 letters to 4 letters for each column (Hash, Snapshotted by, From, To)
Example for hash column: from a1ea53...199120 to a1ea...9120
Example for "From/To" columns: from vite_86f729...28ace9 to vite_86f7...ace9
2.) Reduce the space to half between Type and Status columns
3.) Remove the confirmations column
4.) The columns will look like this:
Hash -> Type -> Status -> Snapshotted by -> Age -> From -> To -> Quantity -> Token
IMO Confirmations column isn't important to be shown in the transactions list. This feature can be checked by clicking the transaction hash from Hash column.

Reasons for this change:
1.) It will be clearer for anyone to check informations about a transaction
2.) It will fit (probably) in the page without using the horizontal scroll bar
3.) It will be easier to check a certain transaction by knowing the first and last 4 letters (this is what most of the people are looking for). If someone will want to check the entire transaction hash, he would do so by checking the page of that transaction.

The decision is yours to be made but what can i and the rest from this community offer to you is some insights from our perspective:
NEO:
in my opinion neo had it's time to shine but the continuously slow development of their network made projects want to leave their ecosystem. As an example of that is a project called NKN which migrated their NEP-5 tokens into ERC-20 until they'll release their mainnet. NEO at the current time is extremelly slow and avoided by projects.
EOS
speaking from ROI perspective, it will not gonna do a very spectacular jump in price. It is currently situated at 5th place on CMC and it will not make you feel like buying BTC in 2014. It still could do a decent ROI but it's up to you for that decision.
as for other things that made me stay away from this project are mostly written in this article:
https://hackernoon.com/everything-they-dont-want-you-to-know-about-eos-the-ethereum-killer-9939c43aa2df
VITE
we all know vite and what's capable of (i think you also know because otherwise you wouldn't be posting this in the vite forum )
ROI perspective is pretty huge if this project will succeed and provide what they're trying to achieve
FANTOM
similar with VITE. These two projects are trying to achieve the same thing but we'll see who will be on top, it might be fantom, it might be vite, it might be none of them.

The rest depends to you on which you like to support

@felicity yes, they are both DAG and Smart Contracts but they are different from consensus perspective. VITE uses HDPoS while FTM uses Lachesis Protocol.
VITE has a system based on DPoS where holders of VITE token will use their tokens to vote for a node and the top 25 nodes will become block producers. Fantom will use a system based on PoS but i don't believe that it will be a classic one where you'll just have to hold tokens in your FTM wallet. More information about them will be released soon (i believe).
For me, the decision about which project to support (VITE or FANTOM) was made by the red flags (my red flags). I didn't appreciated the leaked informations that came from FTM team (from exchange listings to partnerships). When comes to a project, i value more this aspect than the hype around it. Yes, fantom has a lot of fans but that doesn't mean that VITE is weaker than FTM. In the end it's not about just TPS, it's more about the usability of that ecosystem and the amount of users that it has. It's useless to make something that has 1M TPS if there aren't enough users to use that transaction speed. We still see BTC,ETH where their TPS is low but solutions are coming as the networks grow, same could happen for every project.

When other SBPs will join discord and talk about their intentions for vite ecosystem?
Months have passed and there are still no intentions from them to join discord or any channel to be able to talk to them.

Hello, long time no see !
Here are my questions:

1. Do you have any plans to establish a roadmap for vitex ?
2. Will vitex have futures market ?

tbh in this table it should've been nano as well since vite has similar architecture with nano. IOTA is trying to achieve different things than VITE.

What are your plans to attract efficient partnerships which will directly use your ecosystem. By this question i'm strictly referring to those partnerships which will in fact use VITE for their product rather than using VITE for gaining attraction. Most partnerships that we see today are just for "hype" and nothing more. There are no evidences that those partnerships will actually benefit both sides. How will vite avoid such scenarios ?

1. There is quite a while since the development of the new website started. When the new website will be released?
2. VX needs to get listed on other exchanges to bring more visibility to the DEX, i know you said that it comes to a fee negotiation but i think it should be done.

So i got the following questions:

1. I didn't see any listings on VITEX for quite a while, what is happening?
2. Community members offered some good ideas in which replies were "passed to the team". Do the team really consider those suggestions ? Personally, i didn't saw any suggestion to be included in any release.
3. We need more coins, more operators, more volume otherwise VITEX will have an unwanted faith - that of being closed because costs of keeping it up will be more than it will be afforded.

My point of view on this:
any of the fast release options are a no go because DEXes are not ready yet to be used on a daily basis. At this point, the real trading on VITE DEX is very low. A fast release will benefit only the early holders and the people who market-buyed mined VX but for the people who will come, they'll be in a high disadvantage.
A fast release has only disadvantages because the price of VX will be extremely volatile due to the high amount of tokens released daily and low buyers. A slow release has more benefits for the long run (stability in price, time for VX to be discovered by new people and many more)
I'd opt for the 5 year release with the 50milion VX.

@Richard_Yan the language barrier is not that big. They can always speak their native language and can interract with people who speak the same language. It's more about their presence in the discord group so we can see that they have interest
I think that if we want to have a healthy ecosystem (not just tech) we need to have them in the group too. To me, it doesn't matter that they don't know english or other international language, they can build an ecosystem surrounded by people who speak their language.

@felicity well one of the main reasons why FTM has more traffic than VITE is mostly because they had a public sale while vite had private sale only. When a project is doing a public sale, people will join and interact with each other about price movements, technology, memes, etc. When you do a private sale there is no interaction in that community because most private sale investors aren't that interested to exchange words and opinions in chat.
