"Posting negative, false press about Ethos to drive engagement/clicks"
Nolimit posted a post today claiming that he would "Expose Ethos" (https://x.com/LIMITLESSDAMI/status/1922429984510976422)
He then wrote a tweet about how we did a disservice to our testnet testers by not rewarding them. https://x.com/LIMITLESSDAMI/status/1922564089395421283
He got many things wrong, though. We both rewarded testnet testers and were very clear about how they would get access to mainnet
He claims that "the founder clearly promised that early testers would be able to claim something on mainnet." - implying we didn't, but we did.
We both said
a. Not everyone got access to Mainnet from Testnet, due to how the invitation system worked
b. We were still rewarding Testnet users from the initial claim of XP
This can be found on our blog here: https://www.ethos.network/post/times-up-on-testnet-ethos-is-moving-to-mainnet-in-january
Saying this "We waited patiently for mainnet, expecting that we, the early contributors who tested the product before it launched, would be acknowledged or rewarded in some way. But when mainnet arrived, we were completely ignored." is simply untrue. We rewarded testnet users with Contributor XP
You also added "What’s more confusing is that they labeled 10,000 of we early testers as bots. " which is simply not true, no one ever said that.
Then you said "At this point, it feels like the plan was never to reward us testers. We’re being sidelined deliberately. " which is not true as we gave you contributor XP :)

The airdrop of the Validator NFT was roughly top 256 from the contributor XP table. You had 25k points, never used Ethos besides the claim on mainnet. You were far from qualifying.
You said "This is very sad because many of us respected this project and believed in it. " - I have not seen you in our community once, you never referred anyone with your claim, and you only claimed your free 25k contributor XP. I don't think you believed.
"We deserve an explanation that is clear and honest about why we were treated this way."
I have been 100% clear in all of the communications thus far.

I write this review because this tweet was poorly researched and I believe rage bait. It was intended to resonate with other people who did not qualify for the validator NFT. The facts that you stated are incorrect.
