Are you kidding, why should anyone need to dig deep, ask questions, do research as to why things did not happen. The DTC token had a massive sales pitch, with a countdown on public display.

I have no idea what a node leader is or what they do, I don't really care.

BUT if someone announces a product, then sells it, and I pay for it, I damn well want it. Barter 101. Otherwise I see it for what it is, Fraud. Now you may think this is a harsh statement, but this is what a normal "HUMAN" reaction looks like. Try selling a brand new car, making someone pay for it, then tell them, they cannot have it yet because we didn't realize it needed wheels!

... a normal "HUMAN" reaction!
