VEMP

@james_4dsky As I mentioned earlier, my comparison wasn’t meant to be technical, we are in fact considering purchasing some units.

My concern is more about how the market might perceive the overall package: the project, the pricing, the delayed ROI, and so on. I’ve seen great products fail simply because of small misalignments in marketing or value proposition. And I don’t want 4DSky to fail, I want it to succeed, as the success of a depin project is a success for the community.

In the short term, my sentiment is somewhat bearish because, although the product may genuinely be stronger than Wingbits, there are a few issues:

• The price is higher, and the ROI timeline appears further out compared to WB.

• Helium Deploy currently sells 78 different DePIN products (which is overwhelming…), making it hard for any single product to stand out.

• Wingbits is, to some extent, backed by Geodnet, which has been distributing sellable tokens for at least two years. This gives WB a reputational advantage and a sense of stability within the DePIN space, even if is not their reputation but the reputation of Geodnet.

I genuinely believe that with a few adjustments, 4DSky could be perceived as a game changer and positively shift the sentiment of not only the 31% of voters but the broader community as well. In my opinion, having a superior product isn’t enough on its own; additional elements are needed; such as a clearer timeline, an idea of the contract sizes you aim to secure by each year-end, and a better sense of the business scale we’re contributing to.

From my perspective, Wingbits hasn’t shared this type of information with its miners. Perhaps this is exactly where 4DSky could differentiate itself: by being more transparent and communicative.

Please know that my intention is absolutely not to undermine the project, quite the opposite indeed. I hope these points can help spark a constructive discussion and close this gap. 😊
