We have a channel called #ama or Ask Me Anything over in https://chat.vivaco.in/
The purpose of it, is to allow anyone to ask any question related to VIVA and get the best answer, as we seek to build a FAQ and better, more concise materials that explain what's going on.
What @tradeqwik is saying, is that the answer (which you're calling a non-answer) seemed to be coming from over there as the result of a discussion where we were explaining something else, i.e. misplaced.
FYI @tradeqwik is managed by a handful of people and that one wasn't me :D
Thanks for chiming in pfunk. It's great to have a sounding board and you've always been great at it.
I've asked the entire VIVA community to dial back on messaging here at steemit and when we do post about VIVA, to promote the post so it's clear when we're sending out marketing vs people just talking about their feelings and experiences with the project.
We're new and we're very grassroots. We've got a long road ahead and we're all very excited to get this journey underway.
