The first couple of days on PostTech started out slowly while I navigated through a slow, laggy platform with no search functionality which kept displaying three day old posts on my feed. However, new features started to be introduced (including a user search) which greatly improved the performance of the site. It was evident the devs were working overtime and it was actually quite fun to be able to experience the developments in situ. It was reminiscent of the early days of X, which PostTech emulates, watching the progress unfold to become something better. Which in a lot of ways it is. With PostTech you are in the midst of a community of people with the same passion for Web3 as you. You can share alpha, have conversations you can't have with your normie friends and actually genuinely get to know people. In a way, it's like crypto Twitter (X) is moving more quickly that anticipated into a decentralised space focussed predominantly on Web3 discussions.
At the time of writing (8 Oct 23), the platform is going into epoch 3 and is only 4 weeks old. There will be 5 epochs all together with the airdrop happening at the very end on 20 November. The team is still working through the whitepaper and tokenonomics, so it's hard to say what the vesting will look like at the end or how much the token will be worth. The ETH value is much lower that FriendTech at 169 vs 26k, but it is growing day by day and more big names are entering into the space and staying there.
Every day there are new features appearing on the site. Of course, there are still some areas that need to be addressed. One thing, for example, is the inability to post images or videos in the private chat room. But I know the team are working on this. The place is also full of bots that quickly snipe new entrants to the site and frontrun a lot of buys, but this is unfortunately par for the course at the moment in crypto.
Also, with the recent security issues on FriendTech and StarsArena, the PostTech team have undergone a smart contract security audit with Peckshield which helps me to sleep a bit easier at night, but of course there is no guarantee that a security breach won't happen. There are no guarantees really in crypto generally, so it depends on how much of a risk you want to take and whether you are willing to put up with some teething problems along the way. Show Less
