Bought account - check

Bought account + ICO = 99,(9)% SCAM!

No real whitepaper - check

http://s015.radikal.ru/i332/1608/06/653ef2092c0f.jpg

The whitepaper (I can merely call it a whitepaper) is utter bullshit with no technical details. And according to that whitepaper the decentralized cloud system is, I quote, a group of nodes ordered by geolocation.
You can find more nonsense in this 'whitepaper': https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8VJa9S_WxSSSHJhN0o0QkVPN1E


Unrealistic - check
The devs want to deliver: a) CLOUD-BASED BLOCKCHAIN b) DECENTRALIZED TRADING / STOCK MARKET c) FLEXIBLE PLUG-IN SYSTEM within 1 fucking month!
Read more about the key features: https://web.archive.org/web/20160818041108/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1552176.0
Also custom tokens, smart contacts, and other (see  whitepaper 3. CORE FEATURES).

Ethrereum is a half of it and it took 30M USD and 2 years of development to create such a system. All these things declouds devs are gonna develop with 300 BTC and one dev. Fucking genius!

So let's conclude: declouds is no ordinary but bad-prepared scam. Well, scammers you evolve so do I...

---

What do you do if you invested?
1) Ask for a refund (you will likely need to be REALLY persistent to get it)
2) Be smarter next time and do your own research.

ALSO: Refundable ICOs now must be a good practice. Welcome to the world's first refundable ICO (AntShares): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1571738.0

 DECENTRALIZED TRADING / STOCK MARKET

this is nothing special, bitshare has this feature, nxt has it, and many others. This is not a reason to have ico. Greedy devs

Yeah that one smelled fishy from the start and they raised 200+ btc but I dont believe it. I see some investments of 100 btc 50 btc 40 btc showing up on their address and I think its the devs themselves. But thats what this forum is about. 99 shitty ico and 1 good ico. Speaking of which.
If you like LEGIT ico investment opportunities check out Jewels. Its showing lots of potential and I'll be investing in it for sure.

And thanks for proving that decloud is a scam. The community is better now because of it.

ICO era is sick, many scams, and many fishes are giving scammers money, no wonder they lose money, because they have low iq.

The ones who invest are those who go around saying that you can lose your money easily in cryptos.
Thankfully, after some losses, they don't venture out into ICOs again.

I do. Good ICO's happen often just think about the crowdfunding business and how many great ideas cam to be because of the sites that helped to raise the money. This is just a bit different but if you can find a good real project then its worth investing.

Thank you, I am also in doubt, this ICO is not very good

I know there is alot of question marks surrounding this project but I don't think they have denied buying the account

videodrome ashamed of you. one day you will caught by Allah then you gets know who is shitt

Allah is scam, like every gods.

Nice work Greed though ;)

Last time you warned rise, but i didn't follow you, i lost 7 btc on shit rise scam. This time i will follow you, never touch decloud. I think it will be turned out to be  a scam.

I don't lose money on ICOs actually, but I see other lost a lot. My investment: LSK, STRATIS, IOTA are profitable ICOs, never below ico price, therefore I don't lose money.   ;D

I subscribe to declouds being scammy. just look what they said to the guy about pumps and dumps secret information.

like you more than a scam LOL  ;D

Gave you a shoutout Greed for some nice data  8)

Ya, it's a scam. Compare the two images..


Thats what you call a scam. Great finding..

are u sure ?

WOW! shame on these guys, in the age of internet and Google fraud has no place to hide. Thanks for these great work

This is disturbing. I've seen this spammed on twitter for a while and almost started to believe that it's not a scam.  :(

Thanks for your post -Greed-, people need to stay away from these frauds. More people need to see the questionable facts of this so called ICO.

Say thanks to @scrawl's great work (which is much more great than mine): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1552176.msg16380444#msg16380444

Upd:

ROFL

Good job debunking this! You totally destroyed declouds reputation! Awesome research! Unbelievable! I can only begin to imagine how much work is behind researching this in such great detail.

Since you seem to have a talent and motivation for scam detection... Could you please consider to set up blog where you aggregate your thoughts? I would make sure to register and perhaps donate. A bitcointalk thread would also work, but waste much more time. I just like to subscribe to your new posts and not all the comments. Perhaps a self moderated thread where only you have the right to post.

SebastianJu - good escrow i can recommend BTW so don't connect him with that shit

thank you for issuing the scam alert i was scanning for new ICO's to invest and was checking all the background details of declouds when i noticed your thread and the details you provided helped me in searching more about niktitan132 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=148037) and his talent in deception, slipping away from all the accusations and stuff.

So this ICO has a good escrow? So the investors will get their money back?

Nope, SebastianJu (a good escrow) wasn't the escrow and investors will not get a refund.

this true dcloud is scam
the thread annoucement never update or answer about complain and issue buyer ico decloud
and signature campaign is  same never update

rank legandary member not guaranted not scamer
so this selling ico coin must escrow, use addres is control escrow not control dev
remember if you want buy ico selling must use escorw

Very good

So how much did he end up scamming?

Lol, I've never seen such facepalm before ;D

if you not believed about decloud scam
you can see and read offcial annoucment threead in decloud
this dev not response about ask for partcipant buy ico decloud

not update about follow siganture campaign, and account dev this not active again this forum

     Now we must be very careful when choosing a company ICO! Almost every day I see the news about the many new ICO and many of them are unwilling to simply take money from us :)

    I'm at the beginning of ICO deCLOUDs little side chapel time, well not understand who is who, and invested a little about Che is now greatly regret. But s other hand - it is the experience and the following companies ICO I will learn a lot more! ;)

I can see the editing part of the pircture without need a specifical software and omg, i guess at seeing about declouds thread this is a real but just look from a lomg distance... Or i don't zooming the picture..... :o

Is there a known total amount that was scammed from real investors?

   TOTAL FUNDS RAISED: 296.75020992 BTC and maybe more today who will tell the truth, only one guess! :-\

This project seemed to be legit in the beginning, it is very annoying how they managed to steal about 300BTC, scammers are anywhere, I remembered LIR which scammed people recently, the same scheme, looking legit firstly then run away with the money, I lost money in LIR but fortunately didn't invest in deCLOUDs.

I am very sorry that nobody wanted to listen to me!!! and as such whoever did lose anything by investing ito this very old and obvious scam...

Deserves what happened because they are not  listening..

Unfortunately i am laughing my but off now!!!!

I think they are connected to ebitz scam,they are upgrading everytime they launch a new scam site people here really need to take a note what to look for an ICO project and expose them as early as we can,not after they run with the money..
