This basically sums up everything ---> "without contacting dApp developers outside of the "circle"

They always treated people as sheep and they will always continue to do so, why?

Because of the outstanding unconditional support that people are providing without a single instance of accountability, so they are used to do what the hell they want.

If you start to ask smart and daring questions, you will get a PR (usually a woman) who will repeat the same thing - aka ready to use BS - mechanically over and over again like a parrot without having the mind to look at the bigger picture. It doesn't matter to them if you spent years refining your product. If you don't have a pass to enter their magic little club, then no one will care if you took severe collateral damages.

Don't know what are you planning to do, but if you guys decide to go for 22.5 I could maybe vouch for more support for your witness. Some projects have already fired their nodes and it would be great to have TF in the line of defense.

Goodluck guys,
