We are grateful for our Octane Funding, and grateful to the core team for initially believing in us. We were fortunate enough to get equity funding from the Octane Fund, while many other great devs and teams did not. With the upcoming hackathon at Princeton, we really hope that DeSo doesn’t abandon good projects just because they don’t think they have potential to go viral. It’s not just viral apps that we believe make a blockchain ecosystem thrive. It’s also the consistent developers who are there for the community at every turn along the way, steadily building and innovating at a consistent pace. Every app doesn’t need to be a viral-growth-hack. An ecosystem needs reliability and consistency as well. We beg DeSo not to mislead developers with promises of funding if they do x, y, and z, only to leave them empty-handed after doing so. We believe everything in life is a learning experience and we all continue to learn everyday.

Keep going strong Deso! Thanks so much to all of you who made these past 679 days awesome! Keep it going!
