http://numus.org/assets/Addressing-Problems.png




One of the foremost problems with current crypto-currencies is marketing. All cryptocurrencies barring Bitcoin and Dogecoin suffer from this problem as their target group are computer enthusiasts who need to have some technical knowledge to make use of their cryptocurrency.
This closes off the use of their cryptocurrency to the general public.  

Bitcoin and Dogecoin on the other hand have profited from having a wider target group compared to other cryptocurrencies. Dogecoin in particular due to its memebase and accessibility has attracted a wider target audience than Bitcoin. This has helped form an enthusiastic and vibrant Dogecoin community which has helped Dogecoin grow through community based efforts such as sponsoring the Jamaican Bobsled Crew at the Winter Olympics

Numus on the other hand will be marketed through a series of campaigns to generate interest and inform newcomers to cryptocurrencies about Numus. The target audience of these campaigns will be the general public.





Synonymous with the problem of marketing is the problem of accessibility. All newly launched crypto-currencies suffer from this problem whereby general users who attempt to make use of these newly launched currencies can’t do so simply because they lack the technical knowledge.

If we take a look at Bitcoin in its early stages, there were only a handful of users who had the technical knowledge to mine Bitcoins and make use of them. Those who were interested in Bitcoin but lacked the technical knowledge to make any use of it had to wait for a long period before Bitcoin became more accessible to the general public through services such as Coinbase and the now insolvent Mt.Gox

With Numus we aim to target the average person rather than just computer enthusiasts and tech junkies. We want people with little to no technical knowledge on crypto-currencies to be able to make use of Numus easily. We have developed Numus with ease of use and accessibility in mind to allow the general public to adopt Numus at an earlier stage.





Mobile payments is a problem faced by both fiat and crypto-currencies alike. Fiat services such as PayPal and Stripe have attempted to enter the mobile market, but with little success. The reason behind the downfall of fiat-based services in the mobile market, is the number of factors involved in the payment process.

To make a payment in a store with your cellphone a lot of things need to be catered for. The phone needs to be properly equipped with NFC hardware and software; the store needs to have the proper equipment and training. The phone company needs to support the transaction, and banks and payment processors need to be in on it.

With Numus and other crypto-currencies alike, we can remove a lot of factors from the payment process which services such as PayPal and Stripe are plagued by. Numus discards the need for banks and payment processors as well as the need for a carrier to support the transaction.

Numus will only need 3 factors to make a payment, our mobile wallet for your cellphone to pay with your funds.  A desktop or mobile wallet to receive the payment and an internet connection to transfer the funds from your wallet to theirs. In cases where a user has a NFC equipped device offline transactions can be made meaning that you won’t need an active internet connection to make the payment.

Existing crypto-currencies have failed to gain traction in the mobile sector as a result of poorly developed / non-existent mobile wallets and few merchants willing to accept the currency as a result of poor marketing or a combination of both.

Proof-of-work specifications

• Algorithm : Scrypt-Jane
• Initial Block Reward : 400 (For each 16x increase in the network, the block reward is halved)
• Block Time :  10 minutes
• Difficulty Retarget : 2 Hours
• Hard Cap :  1 Billion Coins

Money supply


The change of Numus' money supply is determined by:

• Proof-of-work mining (increases supply)
• Proof-of-work difficulty (higher difficulty decreases reward per block)
• Number of transactions (more transactions decrease supply because of the current  0.01 NMS transaction fee)
• Proof-of-stake system (increases supply at a rate of up to 1% per year)

Hence:

• The more people are mining, the smaller the block reward gets. This is intended to decrease energy consumption in the long term.
• The more people are using Numus as a currency and exchange them, the more coins will be destroyed as transaction fees.
• The more people are saving Numus, the nearer the PoS inflation will be to 1% per year, (approximately compounding every 520 blocks, or about once per month).
• The actual money supply curve is totally dependent on market interest, user adoption, and the price of Numus.

UPDATE


STAGE 1 : CLOSED (40% greater ROI over Stage 2 Investors)
STAGE 2 : CLOSED

Another IPO scam?

0 post account. Who are you?

humus ?

lets see:

IPO
unknown dev

NO NO NO NO

take your scam, and shove it where the sun don't shine.

We have kept our identities unknown, mainly for privacy reasons. Please take a look at what we have posted first before prematurely making accusations solely based on the fact that we are offering an IPO.

No info about how fast the block reward decreases. (in time)
No formula for block reward.
No way to know the effective size of the premine. (how long does it take to catch up for the miners)

These are infos, that the investor, and miner MUST know.

Conclusion: SCAM

privacy reasons? Unless you are Satoshi Nakamoto, there is no need for this. Are you planning on an escrow for the IPO? if there is no escrow, then you are a scammer, plain and simple.

We shall not be using escrow for the IPO, simply due to the fact we have no guarantee that the individual who is providing the escrow will keep the funds safely and not take the funds that have been raised and run away with them.

Due to a large amount of concern regarding escrow, we have contracted Anon136 an escrow agent who has provided escrow for other IPO's such as EdgeCoin and exoCoin who will be providing optional escrow for Numus' IPO.

well, I have saw the whole video , it's a more professional video than other coin.
So let us waiting and watching.
See what happens.

Thank you !
take a seat!sent later

the video is pretty cool

Please take a look at our whitepaper, our video is only an introduction to Numus. Our whitepaper contains all the information you need to know regarding Numus.

If you take a look at our website which can be found here : http://numus.org you'll find that Numus means currency in Latin

I've got to say this is the most professional crypto I've seen in quite a while. Watched the video, checking out the Whitepaper now.

Read the whitepaper, seems very very interesting. Count me in, gonna be investing for sure

Hi,

Without an escrow, how do people know that you won't do that exact same thing with the funds? Also, "Wil you be a part of it?" on your website has a typo.

With that said, your project looks professional. Good luck.

-edit- Also, the link to your whitepaper at the top of the thread does not work.

Graphics and stuff looks nice and professional and all... but your specs on the proof of stake interest, etc. are like that because you didn't change any of it from peercoin.  Are you going to get this onto leveldb?

Looks great. I like the professional video. And escrow should work if both parties trust the escrow.

Looks great.  I LIKE THE COIN

Link has been fixed.

another IPO , so long time to wait, are you kidding me ?

Currently, we have no plans of getting Numus onto LevelDB. Though we are open to suggestions.

Just ... LOL

And what guarantee do WE have that you won't run with the funds yourself?

Till now we saw many IPO scams but not many escrows running with the funds (if any).

Having a professional video, website or whatever doesn't make you more legit than other IPO scams ... it doesn't cost much to hire a freelancer and setup a website, a video and the whole thing ... compared to what you will earn when you disappear with all the IPO.

So please explain yourself why would we even trust you for a second.

Edit: Is there any reason some would trust you instead of this person who is running a successful escrow ... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76380 ?

Consider using escrow for the people that want to invest, without that you would see a lot of stackcoin.gif inserted here:))

I will re-iterate the point which I made earlier. For escrow to work both parties must trust the individual providing the escrow service. We simply do not trust a single escrower with the sum of all the funds raised from the IPO.

Its not only a case of trust in the escrower, but also a case of security. We can't guarantee that the escrower will perform proper security practices to ensure the safekeeping of the funds. With funds under our control we can monitor them and ensure that any hack to steal the funds doesn't take place.

We have spent a great deal of time and money on developing and marketing Numus. We have tried to show you our vision for Numus and what problems we hope to thwart with it. We are trying to be as transparent as possible by releasing our whitepaper. Our whitepaper details virtually every aspect of Numus, and is 19 pages long. Ask yourself had we wanted to scam people, would we have spent so much time detailing the inner workings of a currency which would never come to fruition?

Numus will launch on 1 June 2014, which is just over 2 months from now. The purpose of this IPO is to raise funds for further development and marketing, we have currently been paying for development and marketing costs with our own funds. 

LOL @ you thinking freelancer are easy to work with. Face it most of them are either from India or Pakistan and are hard to communicate with. I'm not saying that Numus didn't use freelancers , but it seems very unlikely that a freelancer could deliver a website or video with as much quality as Numus'

As I said many times
IF YOU TAKE YOUR COIN SERIOUSLY, ESCROW SERVICE IS REALLY NECESSARY.

The marketing is good, i give you that. You don't trust Escrow, fine, we have not a single reason to trust you...work both ways.
The only way out is to reveal your identity or a legal entity to sue if a problem happen...not a big deal if you don't plan to run away with the funds.

What about that?

As mentioned earlier, we don't plan to make our identities public, solely for privacy reasons. We have now decided to allow investors in the IPO to make use of an escrow agent of their choice at their own discretion. We will not employ a single escrow agent to handle the transfer of all funds. Those investors who feel the need to make use of an escrow agent may use their trusted escrow agent, but can expect delays in receiving their NMS of between 1 and 2 weeks.

We have updated our IPO to include optional escrow. Those investors who feel the need to make use of an escrow agent may use their trusted escrow agent at their own discretion, but can expect delays in receiving their NMS of between 1 and 2 weeks.

lol NO

watching this

The more people are using Numus as a currency and exchange them, the more coins will be destroyed as transaction fees... ;)

This is to offset the inflation caused by the proof-of-stake minting process.

Good to hear

Quick question, the IPO is currently live right?

Yes, the IPO is live and will close on April 20th at 12:00PM GMT which is exactly 3 weeks from now.

no escrow  , never join in

Love your marketing. Will be investing pretty soon.

Another Stackcoin. Yes, it'is.

As mentioned earlier, investors may use optional escrow at their own discretion.

We have kept our identities unknown, mainly for privacy reasons. Please take a look at what we have posted first before prematurely making accusations solely based on the fact that we are offering an IPO.

Anon136
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3028

He is great man which we can trust
You can ask him to escrow

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=540017.msg5959495#msg5959495

Yes, the BTT escrow should be better. And Anon136 is full qualified.
Anyway, he doubled the escrow fee from 0.01btc to 0.02btc. A bad news... :(

BTW, your name is famous!

lol, great username

this coin maybe good

I've read the whitepaper, but the only thing that really concerns me is regarding the Decentralized Exchange. Though I see no current flaws in it, there may be ways to sort of abuse it.

In the end I see one of three ways abuse would be attempted:

1) [John claims he did not receive $200 but actually did. John declines.]
John = +$200, -2.1 NMS
Jenny = -0.1 NMS

2) [Jenny claims to have sent $200, but actually did not. John declines.]
John = -2.1 NMS
Jenny = -0.1 NMS

3) [Jenny claims to have sent $200, but actually sent $100. John either accepts or declines.]
This is a mutual destruction scenario in which some interesting game theory may end up coming into play.

3a) John declines (mutual destruction)

John = +$100, -2.1 NMS
Jenny = -$100, -0.1 NMS

3b) John accepts (John realizes that either way he will lose 2 NMS but this will save him the collateral 0.1 NMS)
John = +$100, -2 NMS
Jenny = -$100, +2 NMS

I don't know about others, but I would prefer to see these coins with a small premine as opposed to IPO.  I understand coin development cost time and money, however pre-mine encourages the dev to stick with the coin and develop it so their pre-mine becomes worth something. too many IPO's lately where the dev promises the world and then is hardly seen after launch.  On the face of it this coin looks good but the IPO in my view is a deterrent.

John and Jenny don't have any prior knowledge of each other. When posting the trade order on the exchange only the traders Numus addresses are shown (banking details are transferred once the payment has been initiated) thus anonomity is ensured. The network automatically links to two open trade orders from Jenny and John, so they have no possible knowledge of each other besides their Numus address and thus no prior incentive to scam each other.

Only 2.5% divided by stakeholders? Whats the point of investing, people will only get a tiny fraction of total coins if the IPO is even mildly popular. Pass for now...

I'm not saying the coin if legit doesn't look interesting but its a terrible opportunity for early investors, you got to increase the potential for those who are willing to risk capital otherwise why would they bother?

Too small percentage per annum with PoS...

I think its mostly to keep the price stable over time so that price of Numus doesn't decrease as inflation increases.

Okay thanks for the answer

A very high percenctage would discourage users from actually using the currency.

Any chance of getting a Chinese translation on the whitepaper?

We are currently working on a Chinese translation both for this thread and the whitepaper.

Time horizon is too long.
During the months, there will happen so many indefinite event.
So I think the investment is too risky.
But I am interested in the Cloud Storage.
During the months, there are so many coins come out , such as emu, nem, skycoin, nex, zerocoin....
I don't think this will alive....

Numus, mark it first

 info about how fast the block reward decreases. (in time)
No formula for block reward.
No way to know the effective size of the premine. (how long does it take to catch up for the miners.
and,so What about upcoming ASIC's, which have the potential to push Scrypt (possibly Scrypt-Jane) coins difficulty to the stratosphere, making Numus mining non-accessible (yet again) for everyone except the few industrial datorhalls?

??

I finally registered an account just so I could respond to this post.

While you are getting some flack in this thread, you have made some very good points about how cryptocurrencies and the general public and clearly have ideas in place on how to improve adoption.

I agree with your thoughts there very much.

However, here is the reason I registered to make this post. Integrating a lottery system into the currency? I don't know if you could do anything DUMBER if you goal is widespread adoption.

a.) It sends the message the currency is shady, that people use it to gamble, etc. Because, for god sake it's integrated right into the wallet itself, it is a fundamental aspect of it! Even worse, it is the 1st goal after the client is complete! Instead of working on things that actually would be beneficial, the cloud storage, and decentralized exchange.

b.) Even more importantly, lotteries are regulated by the government. This coin, in its very nature is illegal. That is going to scare the hell out of developers and VCs, the people you most desperately need for this to succeed.

^
This.

Remove the IPO, remove the premine, remove the lottery, keep the marketing, add a technical innovation to the coin, enjoy the success and wide adoption.

I am very interested and I have to say I also feel that the built-in lottery should take a backseat to the decentralized exchange.

I've said it before in the EXO thread and I'll say it again here - the first crypto to successfully launch a built-in, anonymous, decentralized exchange is going to absolutely explode as it will eliminate the need for centralized, TOR-based web sites such as SR was. If Numus can pull this off, it will spawn a thousand SRs and its popularity will skyrocket.

I assume that since Numus will contain cloud storage, the exchange will allow for the asset creator to post some descriptive text and images regarding their asset? Please confirm.

Our original goal for the lottery system was to allow people to get a chance to win a jackpot. We believed that this would promote enthusiasm in the community if users could stand a chance to win a large sum of cash only by buying a ticket worth a small amount of NMS. We never intented it to promote Numus as a sort of "gambling currency"

I'm pretty sure this is the same as in Peercoin.

Good to see 5 Investors already

We are currently in talks with Anon136 over escrow for the IPO.

We have updated our Proof of Work Specifications and our Whitepaper.

I would drop the gambling aspect and put the resources into innovation of your cryptocurrency. Its one of the major things putting me off investing in the IPO.

We are currently considering to push the Lotto System lower down the development road map and prioritize development of the decentralized exchange and cloud storage system.

I am now offering optional escrow for Numus

Please read the following carefully:

The fees will be higher this time than with exo_coin because the bitcoin price has fallen dramatically since I originally set those prices. I hope you will understand. The fee will be 0.02BTC or 0.9% which ever is greater.

Additionally YOU MUST BE IN PERSONAL POSSESSION OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE PRIVATE KEYS THAT YOU SEND FROM I will require digital signatures to release any funds or make any changes to the status of your order. Don't worry, its not as complicated as it sounds and I will be here for anyone who needs help to walk them through every step. You don't even need to know how digital signatures work yet, I can help you with that when the time comes, for now though just make sure that you send from a software client located on your machine or if you prefer e-wallet than use blockchain.info DO NOT SEND DIRECTLY TO ME FROM AN EXCHANGE

You will have the choice of releasing your funds after the investor only build is released in order to get your Numis early or you may wait a few additional weeks to evaluate the finished software.

Ok so if you have read everything carefully and agree to these terms feel free to send to this address when ever you are ready.

1B6HVyYkPSfFkTpgJ1LsFjWrSRGUhfT6Ri

As you can see in the post above Anon136 is providing the optional escrow for the IPO.

Why not keep the Lotto System? It would be the first of its kind.

Why not just rebrand it, under a new name so that w]people won't think of it as "gambling"

Hi there

I heard about this recently on overclock.net and invested in it today through your website. I registered here because I'm not sure whether I need to be a Bitcointalk member to receive my NMS.

the word optional added for clarity

keep watching untill the project got new developments

So, IPO with no innovation?
You want our money for "Development" when theres not much you need to develop that you can't find open source code for....

Also 60% of the IPO goes to development (otherwise known as your wallet)?
So far you are not doing anything unique. Why the hell should we spread ourselves even thinner by supporting you when there are already so many promising coins out there?
Oh right, because you need to make money too.

Lets pay someone to paint a wall, then when it's dried we will have them paint it another color, and so on and so on.
Why? because there is obviously nothing more productive they could be doing with their time and they need to make money...  ::)

Dude did you even read their whitepaper? Cloud Storage System and Decentralized Exchange, I don't really see where you can find open source code for those. The only reason I invested in this coin was beause it was different than others.

If you also invested through the website like myself, then all you need is your Investor ID and Key I believe.

Really, I thought we had to get something here on Bitcointalk?

I've you've invested through our website you don't need to be a registered member on Bitcointalk to receive your NMS

Loving your marketing design. Downloading the whitepaper as I post this, will let you know my thoughts.

Downloaded the whitepaper, looks very interesting, got a few questions though will post later.

Okay, I've read the whitepaper, pretty comprehensive. I've got 2 questions though, why not move the Lotto System down the order and put the Decentralized Exchange up?

We are currently considering this exact change.

Ah okay, because I'd much rather see a Decentralized Exchange rather than a Lotto System.

Are you goof'd, why in the world would you rather see an exchange than a lotto system?

Hey why not change to X11 or SHA-3 Keccak? I thought X11 was a bloated algorithm, but after doing some research turns out I was wrong.

Me good'd?? You're telling me that a lotto system is better than an exchange in crypto's? Please

110% certain Numus is BCNext.  

I would rather stand a chance to win something in a lotto rather than doing nothing in an exchange.

Who's BCNext?

BCNext is the guy who created NXT : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303898.0

Lol, I just saw his second post in the thread. He tells people that he was approached by a policeman online who asked for his details to contact him and he said no. Then he asks them how such a thing could happen when he's running TOR. All this while he's trying to launch a currency in the same thread.

Just, no. Please go check up your facts first on why someone would want a Lotto System rather than a Decentralized Exchange.

Your: http://numus.org/ website looks like a professional site and an interesting approach.

You may want to fix:
Accessibilty should be: Accessibility
tend to struglly  should be: tend to struggle
provide seperate set of tools should be: provide separate set of tools 
Numus at it's core -- should be: its

In your white paper: memebase - memberbase?
it’s purchase amount  (its)
utilising  - utilizing
utilise - utilize
The John and Jenny sale graphic on p14 has: Jahn, seperate, and mactches

Thank you for that Jamis. We will update it immediately.

The USA Lottery lets you win a million dollars. You don't make any money exchanging things.

And I'm the goof'd in my head. A decentralized exchange is a massive win for a crypto.

Numus - the link to the whitepaper on the web site doesn't work.

I am very interested and I have to say I also feel that the built-in lottery should take a backseat to the decentralized exchange.

I've said it before in the EXO thread and I'll say it again here - the first crypto to successfully launch a built-in, anonymous, decentralized exchange is going to absolutely explode as it will eliminate the need for centralized, TOR-based web sites such as SR was.

I assume that since Numus will contain cloud storage, the exchange will allow for the asset creator to post some descriptive text and images regarding their asset? Please confirm.

Thanks and looking forward to following the progress!

Link's working fine for me.

Link was down for a few, hours. We've since updated it, please check again.

The exchange when completed will allow for users to attach info to their trade, so yes descriptive text and images can be posted along with the trade.

We will be posting an updated roadmap for development soon. Stay tuned.

Come on that's bullshit, take it from me everyone. I'm part of the development team of an IPO based coin, escrow is an immediate priority.

Due to concern by the community we have since included optional escrow in our IPO provided by Anon136.

looks like interesting, but more like a scam!
I don't want to ipo.

I've taken a look at EdgeCoin. All I see is a bunch of screenshots. Numus actually has a whitepaper, a professional video and website and what seems to be a great designer/design team.

Based on what? Have you even looked at the coin yet? I was firstly doubtful, but then after seeing their website and the IPO process on their site I invested immediately.

No offense, but I'd have preferred a premine to the IPO. IPO is just too much of an advantage to those that donate. IPO's in Real Life aren't started as soon as a company is conceived..but only after the company has been around for a while and proven successful..that's what draws the investors in.

Overall, a small premine> IPO anyday.

We would've initially done a small pre-mine, however after the success in distribution of previous IPO's such as Reddcoin and HeavyCoin we believed that the community would prefer to have an initial distribution of the coins provided by an IPO rather than a premine. This would also prove a viable method of covering marketing and development costs, but in the current day and age in crypto's it seems every coin that either has an IPO or a pre-mine is labelled as a scam.

Scam？ ??? ??? ??? Why BTC has been sent out ! See BTC address https://blockchain.info/address/1Lw6U1mzx4VMe71CGkTSdSy9pS62m5ZFVi

We have moved the BTC into seperate holding addresses for safety reasons.

I think that the plan is too long. In the btc world,everything goes faster! Do you think so?

We shall not invest in another IPO coin, simply due to the fact we have no guarantee that the individual who is announcing the coin will keep the funds safely and not take the funds that have been raised and run away with them.

FTFY

FFS these guys alreay mentioned that they've included optional escrow for the IPO.

We have updated our Roadmap for Development to prioritize the Decentralized Exchange and the Cloud Storage System. For revised dates please see the opening post.

As we have already mentioned a number of times in this thread. Anon136, an escrow agent who has provided escrow for other IPO's such as EdgeCoin and exoCoin is providing optional escrow for Numus' IPO

We have updated our escrow information in the opening post to make it clear to newcomers in this thread that optional escrow is provided for the IPO.

Yes, now we're talking.

optional escrow always adds some credibility to scam  :P

You are calling this a scam based on what? I barely ever take a send look at IPO's but this coin has convinced me to invest in it. All the info you need to convince you is in the whitepaper and in their website. If you look at how professionally this coin as been developed so far you'd realize that it's not a scam.

Really excited about this!

Numus, is it possible to consider changing the algorithm? Edgecoin recently decided to change their algorithm to X11 - that seems to be the one that everyone wants now (more than Scrypt-Jane).

X11 is hyped up for nothing, nothing more than a piece of inefficient bloatware.

X11 is bullshit at the moment. The GPU miners that are public are inefficient. That is obvious by the fact they run cool. There are rumors that the elite few have optimized GPU miners. Not fair, so X11 is no good at the moment. Scrypt-Jane all the way.

MisO69 you've summed it up perfectly. There isn't even a NVIDIA Miner for X11.

Isn't there? I thought X11 had miners for AMD, NIVIDIA and CPU's. I also thought it was more efficient but from what I've heard of in the last few days it seems like its the exact opposite.

Nope there isn't. I saw a bounty posted for it in the Altcoin Forum for one but I don't think a X11 miner for Nvidia GPU's will come out anytime soon.

This is an interesting coin that really stands out from most of the others on the forum. Watching ;)

I've said this countless times about this coin, but it seems too many just label it as a scam without looking at anything what these guys posted just because it has an IPO. It's quite sad really.

I searched for a while and eventually found the bounty thread. So basically all new crypto's launching with X11 are AMD only currently? That seems a bit closed off.

The ultimate solution would be to do something like Huntercoin and allow for multiple algorithms! Then we'd have IPO, POS, POW with X11 AND Scrypt-Jane, plus of course a built-in decentralized marketplace... who in the heck WOULDN'T be using Numus then?!

It would be different, I'm not sure what the Numus devs think about this, but it seems far too ambitious and cumbersome and also some might think of it as bloatware.

Hi haqster99

Your transaction has been confirmed. We have sent your Investor ID and Investor Key to Anon136.

Investor ID : 583903

You may use your Investor ID to view your investment and expected return on the public investor's list which can be found here : http://ipo.numus.org/investor/index.html. Take note that it may take up to 24 hours for the investor's list to be updated.

X11 currently does not currently have a wide variety of mining software supporting the algorithm to make it accessible to most. The mining software that are currently available seem to be inefficient and do not support NVIDIA GPU's. Although some may argue that most miners make use of AMD cards rather than NVIDIA, this goes against Numus' philosophy of accessibility. We want everyone regardless of hardware constraints to mine/make use of Numus right from the start.

Are there also bounties for translators?  ;D

do i understand correctly?:
premine is exactly 2.5% and that goes 100% to ipo?
the other 97.5% are available for mining?
Is this the distributionmodel or did i miss something?


edit: also you shouldn't be too concerned about the lotto and legality because if any government comes up and wants to ban it for that reason (i doubt they will) you can just integrate something that blocks the lotto for ip's from those states that don't like the lotto and everybody should be happy again.

Yes, the premine is exactly 2.5% of the 1 Billion NMS that will be minted and that goes fully to the IPO.

The other 97.5% is the remaining amount which can be minted. As the proof-of-work minting decreases due to block halving as a result of the increased network hashrate the proof-of-stake minting will become a bigger factor in determining the supply. The supply will continue to increase up until the 1 Billion NMS hard cap.

Yes, in the near future we shall put up bounties for translators.

Just wondering if you guys will put up your own forum.

Yeah we'd live to see a forum

I'd rather see an IRC Channel of some sort put up instead.

What about upcoming ASIC's, which have the potential to push Scrypt (possibly Scrypt-Jane) coins difficulty to the stratosphere, making Numus mining non-accessible (yet again) for everyone except the few industrial datorhalls?

I haven't heard of any ASICs coming out for Scrypt-Jane yet, so I don't think the guys over at Numus should be worried, but I could be wrong.

There aren't any yet, but that's not to say it can't be done. I thought I remember reading somewhere that ASICs for Scrypt-Jane are more feasible than for X11. Also, X11 supposedly runs a lot cooler.

I'm not an expert on these algorithms at all - I'd just like to see Numus use whichever algo that will make the greatest number of people adopt Numus. If they feel that is Scrypt-Jane then I trust their decision.

I heard the only reason X11 runs cooler is because the miners released for it are not efficient. It makes sense though because the algorithm can't magically make your graphics card run cooler, the temperature depends on the stress on the graphics card and if the miner isn't pushing your card to its max which would be the case if its inefficient then obviously the miner's card would run cooler.

We already have plans to set up a forum for discussion about Numus. Though we currently are working on translating our whitepaper to Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, Spanish and German before we do so.

Great!

Interesting article on the various algos just came out:

http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/2014/4/3/what-will-be-the-next-hot-mining-algorithm-for-gpus

They don't see Scrypt-Jane as a long term contender though because of the decreasing profitability.

Looks like the discussion's heating up : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=554699.0

I'm not sure what causes it's decreasing profitability? The article seems very vague.

I've got some spare time, thinking of setting up an IRC channel.

You guys have got the professionalism and video down pat. Great explanation and graphics.

I'll be looking over the white paper tonight but it looks pretty interesting...

When the ipo finish?

not super critical but add some music or background sounds to the video it sounds really awkward with long










pauses.

This video is cool  :D

I think it finishes in about 2 weeks time

The IPO ends on April 20th at 12:00PM GMT

The article is very uninformative, doesn't explain in any depth why his views are they way the are. Good looking website though.

The IPO makes no sense, you will only get a tiny fraction of coins even if you invest a ton of Bitcoin. And its just a fork of Peercoin. Talk about style over substance...

The miners will rape this coin.

How about actually reading the OP before making comments. Numus is based on Peercoin source code, but brings about new features such as the cloud storage system. Read the whitepaper first : http://numus.org/whitepaper.pdf then come back and say its just a fork of Peercoin.

Sorry I meant clone not fork...

From the Whitepaper:   "Numus is a new cryptocurrency based on Peercoin source code."

Yes because Peercoin has a lotto system, cloud storage system and decentralized exchange  ::)

IPO is still on the table?

Please take your NXT way of thinking and get out. Your reasoning is so bad its just sad.

Yep it's still on, Numus stated earlier that it ends on April 20th I think.

Hey my friend you are gonna regret the day you ever tried to attack me on this forum.....stay tuned.

I'm sorry to break this to everyone that has already sent bitcoin to Numus but I am going to prove to you that this is a scam!


1.I looked though the guy above Duff-Man's posts, he has been involved in various website designs. He also started a thread the same time as this thread to discuss Numus giving lots of info but claiming he was nothing to do with the project but thought it was interesting. He was aggressive when Numus was criticized or compared to NXT.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=547545.0


2. Its seems he is a website designer who has worked on various projects that are legit like digital coins but he also has worked on a project with ShimalH who is also on this thread cheering Nummus along and acting like he knows nothing. I encourage people to look through Duff-Mans posts and realize he uses almost the same style and logos on his work. I could give loads of links but here's just one example.

a. look for round logo below 'quick':     http://numus.org/#about

b. Look for same on logo on his work here:    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=369985.msg3952297#msg3952297


So above coinmarket project seemed if you look at the thread after trying to get investors dropped off the map Dec 2013.


3. So I conclude Duff-Man working with ShimalH (real or imaginary) has created nothing more than a well made website. The Whitepaper has no real tech knowledge and is just a bunch of promises and nice graphics. So I'm afraid this really is a scam, a quite elaborate one but a scam all the same. Even if the coin actually exists the owner is clearly a lying and deceptive guy with a history of well presented fake IPO's and is nothing more than a good website designer who probably is now wishing he has used some more variety in his logos and style, hehehe


I take Bitcoins for anyone who was going to invest and I have saved them some money and me being so awesome and all.

Yours Sincerely Sherlock Holmes.

I am not sure whether you are referring to Numus as a scam. If you are referring that Numus is a scam, well then we'd like to clear some things up for you with reference to your post.

1) Our website makes use of a Bootstrap 3 based design framework called Flat UI Pro made by Designmodo : http://designmodo.com/flat/
You may notice this from other websites such as Peercoin's website : http://peercoin.net/ which also makes use of this design framework for their site. Many sites make use of this design framework which is why you may notice a similarity in style between say Numus' website and Peercoin's website.

2) We have made use of a popular voice-over artist named Brad Ziffer for the voice over in our video.  He has done many recordings for other introductory videos and commercials and specializes in live script reading. This means he is able to sync his voice with checkpoints on video better than most voice-over artists, which in turn means he can read lines from the script provided to him at key points in a video all while maintaining a flowing rhythm to the voice-over. This is why you may have heard his voice elsewhere on other introductory videos. (We originally wanted to use Chris Rice (www.ricevoice.com) from the WeUseCoins.com Bitcoin introductory video but he was booked)

Our whitepaper does provide some technical insight into Numus' features. We haven't gone into great detail simply as most readers of the whitepaper will want a simplified version of the inner workings of our features. Two of our philosophies at Numus are accessibility and simplicity, we want every reader of our whitepaper to be able to understand what we are trying to explain which is why it has been written the way which we did.

It's good to see criticism though, it allows us to show you that we are indeed not a scam.

Dude, only a retard would not realize this is a scam now. You've been rumbled Duff-Man. So you got exactly the same voice over guy and used exactly the same style of a guy who is a scam artist opening threads pushing Nummus. The same guys involved are on this thread cheering things along, are you friken kidding. You insult my intelligence.


Go away now....

I have a question on your ipo progress. You know bitcoin-qt.exe cannot set my btc address when I send money. If i have more than 1 btc address and every btc address has some btc. Before i send btc to your address. I dont know which address is my ipo address.

If you don't know which Bitcoin Address you're sending from then you'll have to provide us with your transaction ID in this thread. Once we've verified the transaction then we shall PM you, your Investor ID and Key.

I think you should improve your ipo progress on your website if you can do.

At the same time.  Your Ipo progess design is not very safe. The investor and your team know the ID and Key. If ID and key is stolen. We cannot distinguish whose responsibility it is.Do you think so?

The purpose of our web-based IPO process was to allow automatic investments for the IPO. The Investor ID and Keys are stored securely on a remote server and our server matches the Investor Key to the transaction ID in the investment process. The match between the Key and the ID is itself stored on a separate server.  There is a small chance of the server being hacked, which is present with all web applications.

In the event where the Investor ID and correlating Keys are compromised we have several fallback options.

1) If the Investor ID and Keys are compromised we will fall back to the match between the Investor Key and the transaction ID of the investment to verify the investor.

2) If both the Investor ID, Keys and transaction ID of the investment are compromised we will manually audit the verification and use data from our server logs or other various factors, such as :
       - IP Addresses
       - Time of Investment
       - Bitcointalk Account (if invested through the thread)

I'm sorry to break this to everyone that has already sent bitcoin to Numus but I am going to prove to you that this is a scam!

Yours Sincerely Sherlock Holmes.

Just sent 0.5 BTC for the IPCO. Tx id: 4efa7182e2051c62b494c2cbed158144bcf73cf1abdd2bb465f07863f40ebb23

I just wanted to say that I invested because your tech has real promise. I don't mind waiting at all until May 15th,

Your transaction has been received, we have PM'd you, your Investor Details.

Hey, so I've been trying to rally some people to form a group to get Numus onto exchanges once it's released PM me if anyone is interested in joining.

Just a thought, Blackcoin has got a kickass multipool method going for them Numus should have the same.

Is there a minimum investment?

Yep its 0.01 I think.

EDIT The minimum amount is 0.1 BTC

Correct, the minimum investment amount is 0.1 BTC.

Thank you !
take a seat!sent later

"The minimum buy-in price is 0.1 BTC". It's just fuckin' awesome scam.

How so?

PM sent!

Warning, this is most likely a scam.

As you can see the previous poster (Sherlock Holmes I think it was) found a bunch of evidence but I just discovered something else.

If you look at the whitepaper, it has a name at the end "carl himrusnich". I googled the name and only one result: the whitepaper.

Never in all the years I have used google have I only seen one result come up when searching on a name. How is that even possible?! Obviously this last name is bogus and there isn't a single other occurrence of it on the entire internet.

Also, the web site is nice and fancy, there is a nice looking whitepaper complete with references, but notice how there is absolutely no technical details on the product itself.

In conclusion, this is most likely a very well thought out elaborate scam!

Carl Himrusnich is most likely a psuedonym of some sorts like Satoshi or Sunny King coz they said they want to be anonymous.

Whose Sunny king?

If investment is made by escrow, what are the cancellation/withdrawal terms for investors? Assuming it is not a blatant scam (i.e. nothing delivered), until what point can we potentially say "we're out" and ask Anon136 for funds to be returned?

Creator of Peercoin

If you are not satisfied with the completed product, i.e. if we don't live up to your expectations you may ask for a return from Anon136. Take note though that there is no rule stating that you must keep your funds until whatever point, if your a dissatisfied for any reason or if you simply need to use the funds you put in escrow for whatever reason you can always ask Anon136 for a refund.

That sounds fair enough - thanks for the clarification.

This is absolutely 100% a scam.

If you don't use Anon1 for stakes you WILL lose your money.

Sent 0.52 BTC to anon (escrow)

Tarnsaction id: 18912a407324ef74a8b6e644325e4becdf7a3ad3e9bb331f4307ccadd979cadf

Wasn't it someone else who created Peercoin?

Check the Peercoin whitepaper.

Read this and if you still don't use Escrow then your so stupid you deserve to lose money and it probably is better off in the hands of the scammers who are likely to be more intelligent than you.

I'm sorry to break this to everyone that has already sent bitcoin to Numus but I am going to prove to you that this is a scam!

Yours Sincerely Sherlock Holmes.

Its this crap that makes the Developer look legit when he seems to happily accept Escrow when he knows full well the majority wont use the Escrow and will send directly to him. Escrow is good but you GO TO USE IT!!!!


This is a scam but at least protect yourself.

And of course you wouldn't happen to have a bias opinion now would you? Have an investment in some other coin perhaps?

Not saying this is good or bad coin, but your argument is just dumb, and a bias one at that.

Just saying an argument is dumb is what dumb people say. Why is it dumb, spell it out. And are you suggesting people don't use Escrow?

And yeah I'm biased toward coins that exist compared to coins that don't, yeah I friken am. Any coin, I mean any coin that exists including Tittie coin is gonna be better than Numus, cause Numus doesn't exist. I bet you 1BTC if you want to put your money where your mouth is?

Just thinking the same thing. nextgen what you just said is the fact that developer is doing good things like providing escrow that makes him bad??

Damn heard about Edgecoin today, feel sorry for those guys

yes.  is this for real?

No Escrow is good. But as I already know it's a scam it gives legitimacy to a scam, that's beyond dispute.

Now if people use Escrow, great, no harm done. Bit what I've found is that once an Escrow is offered people usually more than 50% don't use it and send money directly. The developers know that and are tricking people into their scam. If you read what I had wrote previously then you wouldn't argue this is not a scam. are you part of scam?

What people should do is only trust generally developers who ONLY accept Escrow. That would show they are trustworthy and have nothing to hide.

I read your last posts, you are part of the scam. Screw you...

This forum is nothing but scam sockpuppet accounts.

Another IPO scam?

why are you here?

Bru, I heard about this on overclock.net, that's the only reason I'm here.

Take note that the current investors list is outdated. It shall be updated within the next 4-8 hours.

THIS MAN IS A LIAR!

Bud, all I see you doing is complaining over and over in this thread criticizing every poster here, wheter it be investor or just somebody commenting on the thread. Please stop, I've seen it for a few pages now, every other poster who posts in this thread you call a liar and a scammer.

I want to invest, but I have no money now. Will the IPO last one more week?

Numus, please confirm your relationship with Duff___Man.

E.g. same person / close business relationship / don't know the guy.

I have no relation to Duff___Man, he is just a poster in this thread.

nextgencoin, thinks he may have found a correlation between our designs and Duff___Man's design, but as we explained in a previous post that our website makes use of a Bootstrap 3 based design-framework which is in use on many websites, Peercoin being one of them and incidentally Duff___Man's website which explains the similarity in design pattern as the sites use the same design framework.

Here's a quote from the previous post.

Thanks for the clarification.

Is it also a coincidence that:
 - your website (numus.org) and Duff___Man's website (coinmart.co) are both hosted by the same provider (namecheap.com) with very similar IPs (162.213.248.249 vs 162.213.248.251)
 - both domains are registered with the same registrar (enom.com)?

EDIT: namecheap / enom are very popular especially as they take bitcoin; but the IPs being two apart does look suspicious when added with nextgencoin's point about sharing images, and Duff___Man's immediate and continual praise for Numus.

hahaha its a scam man, its not just the website stuff, there is also another poster called Shimah who is a cheerleader on this thread acting like he doesn't have any relationship even though his name has been linked to the Developers previous project. Its nothing but pretty pictures and BS I guarantee it.

Honestly I'm getting the popcorn out on the release day to watch this.

I believe a lot of people would of put money into this if I hadn't found out some stuff. Not to big myself up, I'm just glad I saved people some money and stuffed up the Dev's plans.


Have a look at this, pretty much seals the scam. Same website design, same style of video with the same voice over artist! This never went anywhere and was just a scam that died an early death. And it mentions ShimaH in the text too. Hilarious...

http://cryptosource.org/coinmart-co-a-cryptocurrency-marketplace-for-btc-ltc-dgc-in-development/

You joined the forum the day after this IPO and 70% of your posts have been on Numus. Hey Guess what bud, If I didn't know any better I would say you are just another account made to pump this IPO. You wont get more than a few Bitcoin and you must of spent tons of effort on the webiste and paying for the voicce artist etc. Dipshit.. hhahahahahaha

THIS MAN IS A LIAR!

Well, let's see what Numus says. Namecheap.com and enom.com are popular providers/registrars (I think namecheap is a reseller of enom?), especially as namecheap takes BTC. But, the two websites hosted on IPs two apart is quite some coincidence.

2 Hours left of IPO, Got my popcorn ready...

Anon136, just sent you some btc, please confirm:
Investment Amount: 0.368
Transaction ID: c8a92193250a6f0c5403c9f184925a155e2c5782e2b16907d8511dbd27f68bc4-000

txid: 047351cb573596cad8daf44df022a7df7f5a8d6e08da64eee31e696d195e1208

IPO finished now, I guess!

Well as the definition of an IPO is about actually offering something, then it never started.


Who is gonna wait till June anyway...

I'm (escrowed) invested, so still hoping it's the real deal!

UPDATE

Due to the relatively small number of investors, which are currently fewer than 20, we've decided to extend the IPO for a further 3 weeks, all investors investing after this period of time will form part of Stage 2 and all prior investors will form part of Stage 1. We understand that Stage 1 investors have put more faith in us and as a result they will receive a 40% greater ROI than investors in Stage 2.

During the course of that time we shall release various bits of our project to the project. Some of these include a new concept to visualize data on the Numus blockchain and a web-wallet concept which we shall release to the public in due time.

Stage 2 of the IPO will now end on May 10 2014, with initial distribution starting on May 15 2014.

We have extended the IPO for the sole reason that initial investors, of which currently there a very few, could crash the market whenever they please as the current distribution would place too much NMS in the hands of a small few.

As far as I understand Namecheap use enom.com for all domain registration through them, since they are the only major webhosts to accept BTC we decided to use them and I'm assuming that hosting purchased with BTC make use of seperate servers which may explain why the IP's are similar considering that our landing page for our website does not run on a dedicated server.

hehehehehehehehe BS!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah ahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh ahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh ahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah ahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah


I was going to post today that the developer will do one of two options. Either completely disappear off the map or he will extend the IPO. Dude the reason the IPO has not been successful is because you have been rumbled. Yeah you might get a BTC or so more but I will keep posting and no one will give your scam anymore. Hilarious...

Dude I respect you escrowed but even suggesting there is some hope when you even rumbled themselves that two members that 'don't know each other' have almost the same IP address. You know that's like 1 in a billion right?

It will only encourage others to send in money direct to the website..

I don't trust this Numus  >:(
Only photoshop pictures and promises !

Stay away from it!

@nextgencoin
You are such an idiot. You have made your point little kid now grow up. You sound like a toddler who has not had his nap time yet. Seriously you have made your point no need to respond to every single comment, about being a scammer. The only thing wrong with this forum is whiny little brats like you that cant let others be. Grow up and move on with your life. The more you cry like a little bitch the more obvious you are that your just a crybaby.

hahaha yeah I am gonna cry, I'm gonna cry out this is a scam until they give up. If I don't my point will easily be buried in a long thread. So yeah I'll be continuing to sabotage this stealing of people's money. Why do you want to watch me....go away now to your black coin pump.


And I'm not replying to every post I'm replying to ever likely sockpuppet that is part of this scam.

Dude all you do is go around attacking people, like I saw you attack BCX on another thread. The OP in this thread should've used his brains and made the topic self-moderated so that guys like you don't post here.

Dude BCX has a coin made in his name using proof of hate, news flash he isn't the nicest guy on here.

So you want a clearly proven scam to succeed, please tell me why, I've got my popcorn ready.


You don't need to thank me but I singlehandedly have destroyed an IPO that I bet left unchecked would of taken 100 BTC plus off people on this forum and you're pissed at me, and want me to stop?


So you wish my posts could of been deleted so the IPO scam would of gone along smoothly. Sure it was the developers mistake but I'm not sure they expected to get rumbled.

Your right but doing this doesn't prove 100% it's a scam. What does prove it is the huge amount of evidence on this thread that shows this definitely is a scam. Plus you have lots of posters trying to defend the indefensible which makes me highly suspicious of them.

Scams are getting more elaborate for sure, people are easily fooled by fancy websites, videos and BS tech jargon it seems.

Even when it´s not a scam, it´s sooooo funny  ;D ;D ;D

Anyway we don´t need more coins. If you are a good coder, join a serious project or gtfo

Ok, lets see how hard this is to figure out. Here is some old dns information.
http://who.is/dns/numus.org
http://domainnewly.net/www/numus.org
Notice the name Shimal Harichurn and email shimal.harichurn.gmail.com
That email is the same email address used by duff_man on his bitcointa.lk profile
https://bitcointa.lk/threads/for-hire-visual-web-designer.205394/
Also here
https://github.com/ShimalH/digitalcoinj/blob/master/AUTHORS
We see the name Shimal Harichurn used with admin@coinmart.co
Also http://digitalcoin.co/forums/index.php/topic,625.0.html where ShimalH announces him launching coinmart.
wow he made this way too easy.

Thank you, I was getting tired or arguing with people on here who were defending the developer even after proving its a scam. I'm gonna copy and paste what you wrote until this developer goes away. Unfortunately they will just start another scam i'm sure.

Wow. Good find. The SOA record wasn't there when I checked four days ago (I saved the output from "dig -t ANY numus.org"), but it appears it is now.

I wonder if he has any response to this? I'm struggling to see how this one can be written off as a coincidence!

I liked the new version, talking to my eyes !

LOL and now we have two members jumping and and trying to save the thread. Interesting to note they both have the exact same number of posts, posted 5 minutes apart in an attempt to save a spam thread, almost identical signature and lets look at account creation date as well March 06, 2014, 02:30:36 PM & March 06, 2014, 02:22:43 PM. Come on now Duff_man/Shimal/Numus. How ignorant can you really be, do you think the obvious fake accounts will allow you to scam any more people??? Then again it only took 5 minutes of me looking at this thread to track ya down. Oh yea, how are you other posts on digitalcoin forums going now??

Everyone should take the time to drop in and say hello on a few of his other threads.
http://digitalcoin.co/forums/index.php/topic,625.0.html
http://digitalcoin.co/forums/index.php/topic,992.0.html

quoting myself, I was one of the first to call this a scam. Numus kept deleting my comments on the IPO thread, then closed it. Then he agreed to Escrow, but we all know what happens to direct investors, look at Edgecoin.

This is a straight up scam. Plain and simple.

what’s going on here？

This IPO is open? Not closed? This coin has no launch? OMG! we need honest developers！

He has provided hosting, do I have any investments escrow problem?

I'm guessing you're Numus then, voicing your regret at not having a self moderated thread cause you are on another thread saying Numus is the best coin to invest in 2014....heheheheh

Silly bastard why do i bother replying to you idiots?

A bit quiet in here.

For anyone interested in talking with the con artist please feel free to drop him a line on his most recent post at http://digitalcoin.co/forums/index.php?topic=1038.msg7229#msg7229

Even a scammer knows when he's beat.

He could at least leave us a nice GIF?

I'll save you some time; SCAM.

He did, didn't he?

You are entirely right.
I took a quick scan through the thread and didn't see any posts by him, I must have missed that one.

Another scam to true!

COME BACK quickly!

The investors look forward to see you again.

i hope dev just like QORA.come back!!!!i need you.

is this dead?

Update from digitalcoin forums where he scammed people with his Coinmart IPO
"Well that body building site is great. Should be easy to find him as well, we now know he is 165lb and about 5.8. Also it seems he lives in south Africa so we will need to report to the police there as well as file an international fraud case with the FBI.

Edit: After some quick googling I found exactly where he is, Durban Area, South Africa and is currently attending Northwood High School or Durban High School.

I also found the following information about him, Company: Comogam (Shimal Harichurn)
Address: 17 Shifa Road Durban XX 4051 ZA
Phone: +27.733383121

U mean it is confirmed it is a scam?

he is scam！the numus video was delete.

Yes, not only did this person scam people using the name Numus and Duff_man handles here but they also have scammed a ton of people on the digitalcoin forums on his coinmart.co IPO using the handle ShimalH. Please feel free to stop by and have a chat with him, he may have abandoned this thread but over at digitalcoin where people are discussing pressing charges, he still checks in. Don't get me wrong, he wont answer anyone's questions but he still logs in lol

come back and give me some holp!

Scam or not?

LOLOLOL, are you serious??!?!?! Ok I am just going to assume you could not be bothered to scan any of the pages where it was confirmed he was a con artist, or the fact he removed the images and took down the website. Yes, this is a scam. Mods ready to close this thread?

All investors money will be returned shortly within the next 2 days. We are terribly sorry for this and hope you can forgive us, we just can't continue with Numus anymore.

Ah,  the dev comes back.

Well, it's certainly nice of you to come clean and do that.

Yup, having people find your real name and address with the intention of pressing charges has that effect on people.

Oh, is that what it was? Regardless of the reason, I did get my 0.5 BTC back:

did we find the name of the poster?

I am 99% sure Silkcoin is the same scammers. They are shitting themselves cause they know they could do prison time if all this stuff can be linked back to them.
