On PCTs Communication: a plea.

A lot of us have been mining for years. We wait and wait. We click to mine day after day. Announcements are made, but the lag time between concept and actualization seems enormous. I haven't really complained. I'm still not complaining.

At this point, however, I think how the PCT is managing expectations and operating their PR is hindering their mission. It was one thing when they were still behind closed doors. They could get away with not being as active in their engagement with the community, but just as Pi is no longer a closed network, their communication channels should follow suit.

PCT (this message is for you) needs to communicate more effectively, as the project is the foundation of the community, and you can't have a community without good communication. I'm sure they've had their reasons, but you can't reasonably expect people to want to back a project that keeps them guessing as to what is happening.

I still support the project five years on, but I have a strong suspicion that people are going to give up if stronger lines of communication aren't established. That will be what poisons the project more than any programming hiccup, rumor, or crypto exchange problem.

Frankly, this has been an issue for too long now. It's time for PCT to change how they address the community, and at this point, it's not just the community, but the world at large.
