Actually, I agree with you. I'm changing it to one negative trust feedback that explicitly states why I'm leaving it. Because this member is abusing me and the trust system unfairly.

Now, I don't think people can say I'm doing this unfairly or being a hypocrite because I have a legitimate reason to leave this, since this member is abusing me for no real reason.

I made a thread on you directly in the general forum, regarding your abuse of the trust system. This is what I'm referring to. Perhaps you should go read it.

I've never left trust unfairly to anyone. If I left trust it was because of a personal direct experience with someone. I left him negative trust out of retaliatory anger and it's been removed. The only other negative trust I've left where for actual scammers / trolls running a bosscoin scam a while back.

This guy left me trust for NO good reason at all. Just decided he didn't like MY thread...

That takes abuse up to levels that no one should be allowed to do.

At this point I'm pleading to high ranking members of the community to do something about him. They're the ones that can pretty much make his account worthless, not guys like you and me that have not gone around soliciting feedback from people to use as a vehicle to abuse people with and entertain himself with his smug and arrogant attitude about all of this.

Let me fix your statement for you:

You're not going to waste your time trying to answer questions back at you which have no good answer, like where I discussed anything about paying myself a salary which was the BASIS for your negative trust rating....

The only truth here is that you're speechless to respond to any of the facts I've pointed out.

I'm removing my negative feedback for you. There's no point in degrading to the same abuse of the feedback system that you have. I did that in retaliatory anger. I've opened a thread on you to discuss with more prominent members of this community. So far everyone agrees that your feedback and wrong, undeserved and abusive. So hopefully you get served up with you've got coming by REAL trusted members of this community and can rate you down to where you need to be.

I admit doing the same thing back to him. Ya, I was pissed off and since there's no regulation of abuse like that, it's the only option I saw. So, you're right, I'll remove it from his profile. It was done in anger back to him.

Ya, I checked in to that but unfortunately the trust system is not moderated. If someone builds up  their account just for the sole purpose of being a jerk with the turst system and abusing people that can do nothing back, so be it, they can. Big flaw in this forum and the only way to fight it is to plead with the staff to either remove him from the default trust system or ban him.

This is why I'm asking people to do this. He's screwed up my rep here, because all anyone's ever going to see from now on this that big red mark before anything else. Let's just prevent this lonely son of a bitch from continuing to do this to anyone else.

Wow, are you a liar too? Have I deleted any of this arguement? The only thing I've ever deleted is just trolling stuff from other people that had nothing to do with this. I've answered every question here and I haven't ducked anything.

You sound like some little kid that get's his kicks out of harassing people. Now you've also proven to be a liar saying I deleted your comments.

I didn't think you'd have much of a response to that. Cat got your tongue? Where are you getting your facts from because it's clearly not from anything that I've stated.

Freaken Jerk off.

Hey Guys,

So I've been on this forum for quite a while. I've done nothing but honest business and done lots of trades here.

I decide to make a thread to see if any investors want to come in on a company of mine. Some asshat named Vod comes in, makes a bunch of assumptions and leaves me a red mark without any real reason other than his opinion is that my deal is not a good one to him.

That's clear and blatant abuse of the trust system here. I'd ask everyone that feels I'm right, please post here and 'sign' this petition against him. He solicited feedback from some high ranking escrow services and traders here so that he can ruin your rep to a lot of people when he leaves a mark. He doesn't even transact business here, he just goes around judging people. If you go through and see the people he's done this to, you can clearly see he's been at this for some time and most of it unfairly.

He needs to be taken out of the default trust system, because he is abusing it.

Link to the thread he's done this to me based off of: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702233.new#new

I appreciate your time.

The most funny part about this: No where do I say anything about paying myself some salary. You make assumptions and come to conclusions based in information that does not exist. I clearly explained what my goals are and what my plans are for other equity but you conveniently ignored it and came to conclusions based on non-existent facts of your own.

You go around soliciting feedback from actual trust worthy members of this forum by posing as someone trying to be helpful when in reality you're abusive, uninformed and over zealous.

I've been on this forum for a while, never ripped anyone off and made lots of trades. Never done anything but honest business. If you think my equity price is too high, you can state that or tell people that's how you feel, how ever uninformed and inaccurate your OPINION is. I got no problem with that, everyone's entitled to an opinion. But when you start leaving me red negative trust marks and I've answered all your questions publicly, it shows your true colors. You are nothing more than an abusive person that's probably been bullied around in life and feel like this is your opportunity to return that back on society while you hide behind your computer monitor.

Your post was the first one I reposted in this new thread. You expect that I'm not going to return negative feedback when you unfairly give it to me?

The fact that you'd do something like that to me without any real reason or cause other than move my topic to self moderated because people were trolling and making useless and off topic comments in the other means that you're clearly someone that people SHOULD NOT rely on for any trustworthy information or assistance. I will make sure to get the word out and use this as an example until your feedback is removed.

Wow, are you serious?

I have answered every question and I have not deleted any post that was not just trolling or off topic. I in fact answered your questions and I have scammed no one and you label me as a scammer using the trust system? I have done nothing to you or any one else to deserve such a thing.

I have every right to ask for any amount I want for equity in MY company. If people don't want to pay that, no one is forcing them to do so. The only person that is blatantly wrong and abusive here, is you.

Again, this is not a simple game, so I would not call it 'easy' to replicate, but anything can be replicated. So it's not like just-dice that some guy can go build in 2 weeks and have a clone. The game is a lot more complicated and it relies heavily on well optimized and complicated code. It's by no means a simple concept like just-dice. At the same time, this is also my own biggest problem, because if I do not have the resources to get my bugs worked out and game stable and optimized once the cat is out of the bag, then I'm not going to seem like the originator of this idea. First to market is a MAJOR advantage in any industry. I want to make sure that is me. I want to have the best and most bug free and well optimized code out as well as a strong marketing push so I can ensure investors are getting a great ROI and my game is making headlines.

The game will be in browser. It's not a game you need to download or buy a copy of. The concept is very easy to understand and there's no real learning curve or tutorial necessary to understand it.

Largest source of the revenue will be from each game, there's a house rake. Without giving away too much: The longer the game goes on, the more players are enticed to participate and the harder it is for the involved players to stop playing. It's rather addictive and this part of that is already proven and easily demonstrated in the investor deck. The longer the game, the larger the house rake. As more players join the site / game, revenue grows exponentiatlly.

Other revenue sources would come from site fee's for certain things as well as referrals to partner sites (for example, we don't take or deal with fiat currency, and if you need crypto, you'd visit a referral site to get fiat changed to crypto).

Regarding my resume, happily talk about that with investors. Call me shy, but I don't like posting that to everyone on the WWW. I don't plan on keeping it a secret from investors but don't feel it's necessary to be that specific on a public forum.

Since you asked so many questions, let's try to break each one down:

1) What are your revenue and profit projections? - I will use USD equivalents to keep math simple: 5 million in the first year, 40% of that profit

2) How much money are you putting into venture yourself? - Already 200k USD in

3) How would you mitigate risk if bitcoin price appreciates significantly in value? ie, $2000.00/ BTC in the near future. Surely, this would negatively affect the wagered amount, yes? Absolutely and it's totally built in to the model perfectly so that BTC fluctuation has ZERO negative impact for prices moving up or down. The method here is genius and it will be shared with investors as part of the deck pitch.

4) How would you deal with NYC's proposed regulatory framework? I wouldn't operate in NYC, as NYC regulation only applies to NYC companies, this is a non-issue.

5) Canada's bitcoin law requiring foreign business to register with FINTRAC? Pretty sure that Canada cannot impose laws on US businesses nor would it apply this this one but should it be worthwhile and feasible to comply then we would. There's no firm decision on this one way or another at this point but really does not matter much. Also, these new proposed measures are meant to control bitcoin holding companies / exchanges, not so much games and businesses that just accept Bitcoin for payment.

6) Do you really need to hire so many people? By your list there's about 10 people you're planning to hire. You mentioned "executives" what does it mean? Just-Dice.com was exceedingly successful in it's lifetime and was run by 1 person. How would your game compare against Just-Dice's? Again, you have multiple questions here masquerading as one, let me try to answer them: Just-Dice is not comparable. It was just a copy of another idea "Satoshi's Dice" and there's loads of people that cloned the idea. I don't think it was successful. It had slim profits and the next new clone was the same thing with even more slim profits. The game itself was boring and simple (Yet people played it, so imagine a real fun game) The people on the initial list are just core team members needed to run the company. This is estimated and the ideal for the companies needs based on my past experience. This is not comparable to a 'Just-Dice' game. This has some actual effort put in to building it and it's not an odds calculator that plays on a chance slightly in house favor. I seem to remember a guy putting these little dice games out of business and investor dollars getting taken. That CANNOT happen here. This is a REAL game and has NOTHING to do with house odds. It's player vs player and house takes a rake and some other fee's (no it's not poker or any other card game, casino game or gambling game, the game is a completely NEW game, never done before by anyone. I invented it). Executives mean that later I will be recruiting an all-star team of executives to sit on the board of this company and help me run and propel it forward even further. To get quality executives, you typically need to give up a piece of the company, so I am reserving some of the company equity for that.

7) Last hint is.. unless your site is so groundbreaking that people are gonna want to copy them, ie. Satoshi Dice and Just-Dice, you might as well tell us the plan right now. Ideas are dime a dozen; execution is what matters. Here's YOUR hint - it is ground breaking and people would absolutely copy it. This is why I need to be the first to market with force and dollar backing otherwise I would just do this on my own and keep 100% of the company to myself. My biggest fear is that someone with more dollars than I have comes in and is able to look like the first to market even though it was just a copy of my original game. I want to avoid that and I am willing to give up 40% in order to make that happen.

Posting answers to some of the more serious questions:

Based on what? I didn't say it was just an idea alone. I'm bringing in some proprietary code, management, intellectual property, and other assets. Some of the other % would go to helping recruit executive members of the team and forming future partnerships.

Each deal is unique in my opinion. If I have to raise the ante to get the investment required, I many do that. I don't personally feel it would require giving away 80%+ of the company with a crowd fund type of fund raise. Look at all of the other successful recent crowd funded projects that have given away FAR less. Also, doing monthly distributions is a major perk for any investor.

Can a mod please move this to the appropriate forum? I'm being told that securities is a better spot for this.

Reposted for self moderation to prevent forum trolls from derailing.

I have an AWESOME new Bitcoin game that I need some help building and I'm going to try to see if crowd funding will work to make that happen. This game is completely original and it's absolutely guaranteed to be a hit. I will be doing phone calls and giving a break down of the specifics to qualified potential investors. I do not wish to release the business plan to the general public at this early stage but I will be covering things with far greater detail with individual investors by phone.

I am attempting to raise a total of 700 BTC for a 40% share in the company. The minimum entry amount per investor will be 2.5 BTC. As soon as the 700 BTC goal is reached, we will take on no more investors because I believe we will have enough seed money to be able to develop and market a robust, bug free and extremely popular active game that is seeing impressive ROI. Investors will receive a 40% distribution each month of the game profit based on the percentage of your investment to the 700 BTC goal. Once the company has a positive cash flow investors can 'cash in' their share at any time and receive their entire original investment back as well as keep all distributions they have received until that point. Investors can also sell / transfer their share at any point. All investors will get a monthly report outlining the financials, milestones and future goals.

The investment will be used for:

-2 Full time programmers for development (3 months)
-1 Full time designer
-6 Months 1 Full time programmer (post beta) for on going development, optimization and bugs
-6 Months of Customer Service (tbd)
-6 Months of Marketing and Advertising
-6 Months of Staffing as needed
-Misc costs of running the business such as rent / utilities, hosting, legal and other bills

I believe the game will be profitable in far less time (and you will too when you hear what it is) but I'm planning a safe road.

I am a US resident and I have built, run and managed many companies in the past. One of them being very similar to this.

I will ask that all potential investors be prepared to sign an NDA since it is very early on and the last thing we need is someone trying to clone this

Please PM me if you're interested so we can set up a call and I can get in to more details with you.

Thanks!

Moving this to a self moderated topic, totally forgot how many trolls there are on this stupid forum that make troll posts and derail threads.

Will answer 'real' questions there, and delete trolls.

Thanks.

Delete me please
