Hello!
I need to clarify this unpleasant story.
Yes, we did not have a very good start, it's true. We started ICO with a not very developed product at a time when the wave of ICO was sweeping us.
We have not achieved success and have offered our contributors a refund or continuation of the project. Almost all stayed:
https://medium.com/@silentnotary/silentnotary-has-been-reborn-91c2b1292d01According to the conditions of the bounty campaign, in case of failure, no one should receive anything. This is fair (among them, by the way, there were a lot of fake acounts).
Despite this, we paid them tokens at a very good rate. The only condition was that they themselves had to take them away from the distributing smart-contract that we have developed for this case (since we could not spend funds on the commissions).
Despite detailed instructions, some of the participants did not take their tokens.
We have extended the distribution contract.
Nevertheless, some of the participants consider themselves offended. It's up to you, but in my opinion we did more than we should have.
We took into account the negative experience, so now we have developed and available for testing almost the all entire technical part:
- Mobile Apps for iOS and Android (on Appstore and PlayMarket)
- Integration with messengers through notary bots (Telegram, Slack, Facebook messenger)
- Web interface with a personal account,
- Notarization-by-email (email notary service)
- API
We persistently continue our project and are confident of its success.
SilentNotary team.
Meet new ICO on BB Platform.
https://silentnotary.com/SilentNotary is a digital notary that saves and certifies documents, emails, chats, and audio/video recordings. The authenticity of these records will be ensured by posting them both to Ethereum blockchain and Byteball DAG. The ICO is active until 15 March 2018. Find "SilentNotary ICO" bot in the Bot Store, you can buy SNTR tokens with Bytes, BTC, or Ether.
I am a fan of Byteball and I am very happy that ICOs are finally starting to use the Byteball platform.
I am a bit disappointed however that the first ICO to use it is SilentNotary, which failed to reach softcap its first ICO and didn't pay bounties to a large number of people who had helped them in the promotion, as it is easily perceivable by reading the comments on their bounty thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2016468.msg24451549#msg24451549A better and less controversial partner would have been a better news.
This being said, I wish long life to Byteball and many more (and better) adoptions by ICOs in the future!
