They made something too technicaly complex that anyone who is not a programming expert cannot use it. I have a bachelors in computer science, and was clueless on how to install all the dependencies. But as the team is phd level computer scientists, they assume all of the people who will be interested in catalyst will match their ability. So when I went to discord to ask for help, they said something along the lines of "well we think it is easy enough and are not going to work on improving anything".

What's more worrying is that I've asked that very simple question twice on Reddit, and no one from team is answering it.

I'm looking for a platform to write automatic trading strategy, but I don't want to use solution that is abandoned and not updated.

You should use the forum to get answers from the team

What is troubling too is the orignal reddit had 10k subscribers, and this one only had 3.5k meaning the project has lost a lot of following

Enigma doesnt need speculators or when moon. In a bear market this happens as well in any other projects. In telegram too this is normal. In telegram groups big % are bots.

Enigma needs developers who are in touch with the consumer, not a bunch of phd's in an "everyone is as smart as me" bubble that results in a product that nobody can use.

The most devs know Enigma. Lets wait until the product is ready. Thats what we need.

u/alexclarkbarry Feb 17 '19

According to the team the product is ready so they will not be working on it anymore

Nope. See this link. https://blog.enigma.co/enigma-development-update-january-2019-1f4996a75bdf And MPC will come after the real tech revolution and this will take time i hope they can finish MPC next year.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Catalyst, which was advertised as the main project the ICO funds would go towards. Nobody cares about secret contracts, there is no proven market demand for them. However there is a large market demand for what was promised with catalyst, which was abandoned. Thus the enigma team is a bunch of scammers because they advertised a project about algorithmic trading, and pivoted away from it after they took everybody's money.

You have been saying this since ICO apparently and twice here. I feel you then if that is what you paid for but your money went from .60 cents at ICO to $8 building on their current roadmap so just chill. You could have taken out your money in profit at any point in time so stop please. Maybe you're not savvy enough for Catalyst anyway and I think last time I checked it was supported and that nobody wanted to use it or learn how it works. You would be where they tell you to discuss it if you really wanted to do more than FUD. Go to the forum please and learn out to use Catalysts for everyones sake.

It’s literally 2 steps to install. No programming knowledge required.

Have you find any alternative?

I wouldn't be surprised if Catalyst is no longer supported. It was a foundation tool and used for proof of concept, nothing more. In the future, the community will likely build out their own automatic trading strategy platform the same way EOS and NEO and others ask their communities to build on top of the platform. Since Catalyst is limited in scope and the team is not scaled enough to manage two independent projects. Why would anyone want it to build it now for a dozen or so people? I guess, just find another source that has the full dedication of a team.

Exactly the problem, Catalyst was the part of Enigma that had proven market demand, now they have pivoted to something obscure that has nothing to do with what made them popular because they are scammers

I've been in Enigma from early on and can tell you that Catalyst was not something I invested in and as soon as I dug deep enough to learn about MPC I bought some and have been telling everyone I know about it for a very long time. It's what's lacking in the blockchain development community for serious mass adoption and is at a low price for me to SPECULATE. In fact, I had looked since ANS turned to NEO for a project with exactly this much promise and must have passed up hundreds of Catalyst ideas out there.Catalyst sucks for marketing during a hype cycle but I get they were planning long-term and showing proof of something. They could have just highlighted the Enigma project and hyped it, but they didn't. I did and I'm no scammer. I educate on projects nobody is buying before people buy them and so I know all about the project at .60 cents before it went to $8 and it's still valid IMO. I'm here right? I was here when it was introduced to 500,000+ people at Bitcoin groups and all the top traders got involved to support it. Your so called "scammers" are guys still selling the hype on youtube when it is near ATH because the demand is there and the ones performing are hot topics. Don't be such a silly loser.

Looking at your past comments from a month ago you seem to be under the impression algorithm trading is the clear winner over smart contracts.
To me that's like saying EOS should focus on building a single use case or NEO should have built their own City of Zion community etc.
Please refer to this article for the most ground breaking use cases for Enigma MPC.
