The Synereo team is still young, don't be too harsh on them, they are doing their best, and they have been working hard to make up for that RCHAIN fiasco.

It's still a promising project, I have watched many podcasts where they have explained things. I wish they would have more public appearances, I guess they will do that after the product release. Their marketing arm needs to be better.

No I haven't tried the alpha, but it's public on Github I believe, but I will try out the beta after it's released.
