@stephenkendal you can put this as a lesson learned. After all, it is in Beta Mode, a growing company and you should certainly expect more change. A potential Billion Dollar company isn't going to stop innovating just because a few people have purchased promotional merchandise.
Hopefully this makes you appreciate the value of Digital Marketing, after all it's 2017 not 1917...
Sorry you couldn't make it to Steem Fest. Was looking forward to meeting you.
