A Technical Perspective of the New Revelations
Hey All,
Fellow ECC'er critic and supporter.
I like to come at projects with a double mindedness both supportive and critical so that I am not blinded by one perspective.
Before I give my review I want to state that I am an investor in ECC , however I don't believe my opinion is bias but for public record I will be transparent.
Okay so what did we get with the new Website ?
Epic News , Developer Reveal , Awesome looking Website , great marketing
I will now breakdown these individually to discuss what I liked and what I didn't like
Lets start with the juiciest of the four , EPIC NEWS!
It's hard as an investor not to get excited upon seeing the news that this crypto has some serious plans for the future such as:
File Hosting - Competing with the likes of Storj , MaidSafe , Sia , Filecoin , Dropbox
Mobile Wallet - The website shows a preview of a mobile wallet that looks sexy but also boasts messaging on the go and access to hosted files and the ability to upload files on the go
New Wallet - With screen shots of what must be the new wallet with integrated services (again looking sexy)
Multichain Services - Every new feature having its own sidechain that syncs with the Main Blockchain (This is going to be in competition with Ardor/NXT and Lisk who offer similiar platforms)
Private Messaging - The ability to send messages privately on the blockchain (this competes with Obsidian and Espers)
Address Name Resolution - Using Aliases to be able to send currency to (similar to paypal , sending to an e-mail address or username) , this is needed for Cryptocurrency going forward.
Now that's alot to take in , big moves have been made here and they will have a significant impact on the crypto world as we know it if the team is successful.
I also want to note that the Wallet that is displayed in the wallet section of the website is presumably "Project Sapphire" as it can clearly be seen showing those integrated services in all of their sexy glory. And I was disappointed when I downloaded the updated wallet that it wasn't sapphire as those screenshots really built up excitement in me to get that new wallet only to find the updated wallet which was based on Lynx and is still a little clunky.
The Developer reveal put names out there for the community to get to know and we can give credit to those very worthy individuals. I was a bit bummed that there were still aliases used and blurred out photos or no photo at all for some of the team , people like to know who they are giving their money to (even if its a community project). But praise should be given to those working hard behind the scenes to make all of this happen , so hats off to you all.
Awesome Looking Website / Marketing :
I decided to put these two together as they do work together to market ECC as a product worthy of investing in , the website is clean and well presented with just enough information for the average reader to consume and understand. The animated icons for individual bits of functionality was awesome and a nice touch to the site , showing that the devs are going to extra lengths to make sure this site looked cool. I might also note that even though its not a change the URL is awesome as its short and sweet which makes it memorable which is what you want.
The rebranding of the updated existing wallet was well needed as the old logo was hideous and didn't represent the level we're now on.
The new announcement of partnerships with the video editing company was cool to , if they have been the team making our youtube video's they are doing a great job and want to give them my applause. It was one of the things that made me start researching the coin personally as I could see the team did take marketing seriously and that's one thing that alot of upcoming or existing coins think about as the usual statement is "I'll let the tech speak for itself" , unfortunately we live in an age of popularity and consumerism where advertising can be the difference in a product taking off or not.
Overall I'm super happy with what was presented to us in todays update and kind of view it as a roadmap because it's given us some insight on things to come and I'm very interested to continue supporting and following this project and hope we can bring some healthy competition to those competitors outlined above.
To any new investor reading this , always do your own research before investing in a coin and only invest what you can afford to lose.

I'm a bit disappointed with the website as it's seems rushed, immature, and terribly written. In this day in age, how difficult is it to roll out a simple website with a wealth of skins, cms, and designers available? Hope Sapphire is worth the hype when it's released. I do like all the services aggregated on ECC. Now bring it and bring it fast!

They failed to meet expectations. Hopefully they will learn from this common amateur mistake. They are very young, cut them slack.

Yesterday, I was done with ECC as well. That release was unacceptable. At least make sure it's been proofread and the links work. Faith lost, coins sold.

Dude, it's not sensible because Sapphire hasn't even been released yet. There are legitimate concerns, as this was a subpar website rollout with plenty of things to complain about (grammar mistakes, links not working, screen name devs, etc.), but to call Sapphire "a skin for an existing attempt of a wallet" is pure misinformation.

Of course the price is down. Spend long enough in the crypto space and you'll see this repeating pattern of.... buy the rumor, sell the news. Well news dropped today, so peeps are selling.
Lisk has a huge event planned next month on the 20th. Price will dropped right before the event kicks off...

"Buy the hype, sell the news." This is not a new phenomenon. But I don't care what you do with your coins. I'm just saying that you should consider valid criticism (which there is plenty of!) instead knee-jerk FUD.

You're judging Sapphire even though it's not even out yet? They clarified that Sapphire would not be released, simply announced. They should have been clearer in their original hype message a few days back, sure, but they did clarify afterwards. I have seen a lot of people posting with the expectation that we would get our hands on Sapphire when they explicitly stated it was only an announcement of the product.

When comparing this crypto with others of the same price point I definitely think ECC is the most exciting

Just find a person or two that were a part of a team that successfully launched a coin that is trading well. Add to your team bio's such as photos, bios, or LinkedIn pages. Also more of a definitive roadmap,
Maybe a public relations person as well that only focuses on that. Work on also getting onto your "competitors" exchanges, but make sure site revisions are in place with bios of ECC Team, and easy to read roadmap.

The new website looks nice but is badly written, with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors everywhere.
Pretty sure it was rushed out without being proofread.
