Small interview with Deeper, the soul of DeepOnion

in #deeponion7 years ago
Today I'm coming with something slightly different.

I sent some questions to Deeper last week to have a grasp on his vision of the DO project as it goes now.

Well, lots of things happen in a week. When I messaged him there was still no thread for rejoining the airdrop for instance, but let's take the context as valid.

These are the questions and his answers:

What is the development team focusing on right now? (just the main task or the most important ones). For how long is it being worked on? When will it be available to the community?

so many things happening, we develop referral system to get more stats, sr dev working on new features, we develop also vote central integration with main site, and we handle community affairs

Is the dev team - or the DO admins - worried about the decreasing number of valid participants in each drop's round? Are there any measures in mind to change this situation?

we are happy with the participant counts we will get good people in cheaters out, process continue

New registrations have been finding several restrictions that avoid them to sign up. Some of them are or have been valuable BCT members. Are you reconsidering these - or any - applications or are there plans to develop another system for new members to join?

we work on text now how we can accept some members back to airdrop basiclaly what we want people help us to win, good team members

What does a normal member need to do to get a x2 in the airdrop?

make alot of posts, share articles, translate things, start your own thing to expand Deeponion in your area we will soon or late notice and reward you

What's your personal feeling about DeepOnion right now? What were your initial expectations? What would you like to improve?

well its ok, we just need to keep up

Summing up

Deeper is a man of few words but every single sentence can be leveraged.

It's clear - as we've also seen these last days - that the dev team cares about the community but perhaps it moves too fast to be fully reactive while developing DeepOnion as a project. Improvements come and will keep on coming but we must allow some time for them. Getting rid of cheaters has been a main area of concern for the devs as a real threat to the community, so much efforts were located on that aspect. Many users didn't understand that as complains arise on the forums.

There's much work to be done - the community must work the social part of the project to allow the devs develop the project successfully.

Hi its me Cryptomaster. Excellent article @stormcleric and in being the first to interview Deeper. I resteemed that.

I have been a member of this community since end of august 2017. A few things I noticed could have a big improvement... Allthough they aim high on marketing to spread the word, I got seriously demotivated due to a wallet issue, which made me loose 3250 onions... and no solution is found to fix this. Another concern is the way they react on support questions... As said in the article, few words, and unfortunately bad knowdledge of English, which leads to misunderstandings and even a ban in my case. And there's more : They can't seem to handle people that have concerns and speak out about it. Those people quickly get muted (closing/removing threads, banned, no reaction from them, ...). this is not a way to handle a community full of supporting members. They should close the gate for all those new members coming in, because if the moderation was somewhat more correctn they would notice (in the way those new people react) that they are just there to benefit free onions.. no more, no less... but elder members seem to have less credits than those new members. I don't want to be a troll or a fudder, and I still believe in this project, but they really should be thinking about less harsh handling their older members..
