Can't succeed a project built/running on a centralized/system/blockchain, eventually the main stream will get the idea and reject all ETH based tokens that are limited by the tech of the chain it runs on.

Here is someone fighting for Veritaseum:

That's all speculation when there is no need to speculate. The ETH blockchain is public, as are the trades on Etherdelta. Please provide the evidence.

You need to revisit the definition of a scam. Did he manipulate the price lower?
Where is your evidence? The SEC has yet to provide any, and the trades would have been on Etherdelta so it's all publicly available.
Even if he did manipulate the price higher, that would benefit all VERI holders. I'll gladly buy any crypto or stock where the price is manipulated higher because that is for my benefit. I'll buy into any scam where I can make money.

This is pretty epic, from Clif High.

Sure, but I can't resell a Microsoft software at a higher price...

I can't buy a Win 10 license, for say $500, then resell at $6k...

Again, it's not illegal to manipulate the price of your own company's software. Microsoft does this all of the time. And if you read Reggie's defense, not only did the SEC fail to provide any evidence or specific details of this manipulation, the trades were Reggie's evaluation and testing of ED which he did announce transparently ahead of time and his trades lead to his conclusion that ED lacked sufficient volume. Reggie and his company are allowed to buy and sell their own product on exchanges. Good luck to the SEC winning that one without specific details of this price manipulation.

Yes, and it is legal for a company to manipulate the price of its software.

If you read the case, it is about market manipulation and misrepresentation. In case of manipulation, the blockchain has all the evidence.

Gilbert Verdian just gave something like an inofficial AMA on Telegram.

Q: Oracle at the moment is using Chainlink to provide External data to smart contracts, perhaps they will be plugging into Quant soon.
GV: It's a possiblity, we always envisaged bringing interoperability to smart contracts. Having a front end data loader like chainlink and tying that to Treaty Contracts enables cross-platform smart contracts. That's why we joined Accord project and met with Data61 about Lorekeet, their smart contract business process mapper: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2196/BPM_2018_paper_12.pdf


GV: By integrating tools like Accord (Clause), Lorekeet, Chainlink we're simplifying the implementation and adoption of cross-platform smart contracts and treaty contracts, powered by Overledger.

GV: Yes progressing nicely

This is a good opportunity to pick up more VERI cheap. There was no fraud, Reggie has delivered on everything promised and represented. The only thing might be appropriation of funds as we would have no visibility into that.
Reggie has repeatedly mentioned trying to work directly with the SEC and spending tons of money on lawyers. I'm confident he has a solid defense, I won't be surprised if charges are dropped in a fairly short amount of time.
