In the world of technology, developers play a vital role.
iOS has grown stronger thanks to its massive developer community, far surpassing Android. Windows Phone couldn't survive because it had too few developers, leading to a poor app ecosystem.
Although Sui has been mainnet for just over 2 years, its developer community is growing at an incredible pace. Look at Aptos to see the difference. Even though both use the Move language, Sui stands out.
I've heard a lot about how Sui attracts talented developers.
They keep hosting workshops, visiting universities, and organizing hackathons. Many developers have told me that Sui's language is easy to learn, friendly, and truly innovative.
Trust the process. Trust in Sui.

I decided to refund my SuiPlay0X1.
I'm so sad, because I have no other choice.
Most people are against this decision, but I know @SuiPlay didn't make this announcement easily.
I hope the project will succeed in the future. This is one of the key projects on @SuiNetwork.

Dear @SuiNetwork, @Mysten_Labs and @SuiPlay team.
I’m writing as a deeply bullish supporter of SuiPlay — my profile says it all. This device is a milestone: the first Web3 handheld that can truly bridge Web2 and Web3 users and onboard mainstream audiences. That’s why I personally ordered four units for me and my family. While 4 devices - may be a small number compared to some, across Vietnam there were many who trusted Sui’s vision and ordered as well. I genuinely believe Vietnamese orders may account for a significant share — possibly tens of percent of those 10,000 preorders — and we backed you because we believed in your direction.🇻🇳
So you can imagine my disappointment:
1⃣My complaint is not about hype — it’s about unprofessional handling of major customers. From glitches in entering shipping information to forcing users to pay unexpected shipping fees, the process has been poor.
2⃣The crown of this problem is customs duties — especially here in Vietnam. We understand taxes are complicated and sometimes unavoidable. That’s not my main anger.
3⃣What truly upsets and outrages me is being FORCED to return the device and accept a refund. Returning the product should be the buyer’s choice, not something imposed on us with the excuse of customs. The first shipments went through and many were happy to cover taxes; yet now later customers are treated harshly and pushed aside. That is unacceptable.
🚨I remain loyal to the project and will not change my stance. I WILL NOT RETURN MY UNITS and I DO NOT WANT A REFUND. What I demand is respect: propose a fair, mutually beneficial resolution — do not force us to comply with unilateral decisions. I’m not blaming @SuiNetwork or @Mysten_Labs personally; I hold the @SuiPlay team accountable for acting hastily without thorough preparation. Your responses to our emails were slow while your decision to abandon affected customers came very quickly. Customs cannot be used as an easy excuse to exclude us from the list; if proper due diligence had been done from the start, we wouldn’t be here today.
💧Once more: refunds are an individual’s right, not SuiPlay’s weapon to decide for everyone. Please sit down, rethink a solution that respects your backers — remember this is not a one-time relationship but a long-term community.
Thank @kostascrypto, @EmanAbio, @EvanWeb3, @b1ackd0g, @GDanezis for reading — I am angry, but I still love this project. 🫶
