The project and the token will be successful because (in my opinion) the iExec team is able to adapt.

My guess:
The team probably started with the intention "if we build it they will come" and didn't think much about the token itself and how it can be used. But they attended a course and are aware that it needs way more attention and resources.
I can't find the source but I remember that they have a team member working on this.

Despite being a team of people coming from the educational side they can and will deliver:

• an easy to use UI,
• security,
• an easy way to integrate iExec into companies processes,
• and a competitive price.

Technically they re-use XtremWeb-HEP and it will be superior to other projects because it's already used for many use cases and reliable.

It takes time until 2021 based on their roadmap and maybe a little bit longer but it will work.
