I just want to note a few things I am otherwise not much interested in engaging in this discussion.
-
There is no such thing as the “core team”, it was dismantled in 2020
-Dismantling the core team and governance structure
There is the Original Council and the CC. CC can fund things (e.g. mimblewimble-py, Grin++, mwixnet vounties) OC can fund things (e.g. grin GUI, mwixnet integration, Ledger bounty) -
What is success? Grin is an experiment where we all try to do things different and in the best way, so no premine, no bullshit, no marketing.

Grins price is not a good measure of success, staying true to the principles and objectives that were set out when Grin was created and continous and patiently development is what I would consider success. -
Haters will be haters and thats ok. The fair principles with which Grin works are not for everyone. Although low prices in the early years were very much to be expected, I understand that waiting can be frustrating. Everyone would love things to go faster! And we can all help with that. Start testing Mwixnet, explain to people what makes Grin unique (such as not shilling and spending on marketing😉), we can all be the change we would like to see.

The desire to have more developers to work on Grin is understandable. CC has funds, OC has funds so yaaa… if you know someone capable who does believe in the idea of Grin, bring them in! More developers (not those who are purly after a quick buck) are very welcome.
I will not further comment on this discussion since I am not in or ever was part of this mysterious “core team”. @trab I agree that is unfortunate that the CC as being the most active communicating council gets blamed by those who are frustrated. We are only community members who in our free time try to help facilitate development of Grin as a project. Please all remember, council members on either CC or OC are just like you, unpaid enthousiast who in their free time try to help Grin move forward.
