Here's the admission:

Added Telegram.

Added content.

Both added to Content campaign.

---

The Content campaign has been finalized. I ask everyone to double check their entries and post their Vividcoin addresses.

If you participated, you have NVST. If you have NVST, you have a Bitcoin address. Therefore, you will receive your share of BTC just like anyone else.

Added.

Added telegram.

I do not know his username right now. Join the Vivid TG group and ask Ian.

Not yet unless you participated in my part of the campaigns.

You don't need to do anything. Just make sure you own the private key to the address on which your NVST tokens are.

The final refund amount is 1,393.94415407 BTC[1], which correlates to the initial estimate of ~1400 BTC. The *official* timeline is as follows:

• 1) Thursday, August 30 - Vote closes.
• 2) Friday, August 31 - Snapshot[2].
• 3) Saturday, September 1 - Refunds begin[3].

Notes:
[1] Once I have a total transaction fee estimate, this amount will be appropriately truncated at a certain decimal. This will also be mentioned in one of the following posts.
[2] The snapshot time will be random (i.e. exact time of day will not be announced) to prevent any adversary from gaming the system. Everyone is advised to remove any sell orders that you might have on the market and/or move to an appropriate wallet if necessary. If you own the private key to the address where your NVST is, then you are good to go. You, and only you, are liable in the event that you fail to adhere to adhere to this. The snapshot will be archived and a link to it will be provided to the public.
[3] The amount of time for all refunds to be processed can not be estimated. I'll be available every single day until this is completed, but each transaction requires another signatory. Every transaction will be created and verified manually. There is no room for errors.

Appendix:
1) The address 1HF9qmvVz6EMu5ihjkbstpBwAVb9jdm9Lh will be excluded from the refunds. On it are unallocated tokens which can't be distributed. This issue stems from a chain of events which led to essentially what I'd call, theft of both the NVO domain and the database. The amount on it is 449,660.58536489 NVST, which represents 2.9977372357659333% of the supply. The exact percentage of the refund balance, which is 41.78678295 BTC will be set aside until a solution to this issue is found. I have decided to not let this issue delay the refund.
2) Therefore, the amount of issued tokens is 15 000 000 - 449,660.58536489 = 14 550 339.4146. The amount of BTC that will be refunded over this amount is 1,393.94415407 - 41.78678295 = 1352.15737112. This represents a rate of 0.00009292961 BTC/NVST. Example ~ refund amounts:
1k NVST -> 0.09292961 BTC.
10k NVST -> 0.9292961 BTC.
100k NVST -> 9.292961 BTC.

Update:
1) Addresses that contain less than 0.1 NVST (~$0.06) will be excluded from the process as it makes no economic sense to do this. This affects about 345 addresses based on sample data (no snapshot yet), containing ~0.934 NVST. This saves about 11730 bytes of data (assuming 34 bytes per output) needed for the refund.
2) We will need at least 166 090 bytes to process this (34*4885). At 1-2 sat/byte this is 0.00166090 - 0.0033218, which means that we will truncate the amount after the reduction at the third decimal --> 1352.154 BTC.
3) Last address to be refunded is #4890.
4) Snapshot:

There will never be a 'final' state of this campaign due to the swap. It's actively being worked on, and payments are being deployed on a case by case basis while Facebook and Twitter campaigns are on hold until the first bounty manager finishes their sheets.

Whenever it gets evaluated and people post their addresses.

Added to signature campaign.


Added to Telegram.

I have already answered this. We are waiting for him. You won't receive anything until: 1) He completes his calculations. 2) I merge his with mine. 3) People post their addresses.

Gha, best I can do is two fidy.

Added.

Added in Telegram campaign.

I'm doing my best. 

Address for TG added.

Address for sig. added.

The Telegram campaign has been finalized. Everyone needs to post their Vivid addresses so that we can swap them out on the sheet and send you the coins.

What are your telegram names?

Added for Telegram campaign.

An ETH address won't receive a payout. You need to provide a Vivid address. An Arabic translator has confirmed that they would work on the translation; if they quit/don't provide it soon I will contact you.

Why people are voting in a certain way is unclear, especially big holders that split voted.

Yes, that is possible although I don't think we can reach that threshold unless people actively try to seek out holders that have not voted.

Actually this is not the case. Up to 60% of the total is (well, was) the amount that the team was allowed to withdraw according to the milestones, but it was never fully taken. Based on my math, if you include forks in the calculations there is about 50% extra left than the minimum defined by the milestones (thus, not 40% left but ~60%).
Bonus 1: I rejected nemgun's request for ~500 BTC in June which was reduced severely and ended with the release of 170 BTC (3 separate transactions) thus saving the investors even more money (even though at that time I didn't even remotely imagine something like this happening in 2 months).
Bonus 2: The CEO is likely going to airdrop his own token to all NVST holders, rebrand the wallet and continue off with his own project.

All things considered, the situation (minus the absurd allegations that were made against pretty much everyone, both the team and escrows) isn't as disastrous as it could be especially when you consider things like this:

I don't see these same people screaming 'scam' there, even though the situation is very similar (minus the escrow and plus the more money being raised & washed down the drain part).

I've spent countless hours writing in TG, IRC and here about this, hours that were required elsewhere. Rationally speaking, if this was the plan then there would be already be no signs of anybody as soon as the dispute arose (which was over 20 days ago). Manual refund of the top holders will start ASAP post-vote (regardless of the time required to figure out the quickest way to create 1-to-5xxx (split based on TX size limits) transactions).

I highly doubt that Coinpayments will respond here given how high profile ICOs are escrowed (and by this I mean ones which raised a lot more money and used publicly known individuals or services for escrow).[2]

That was the exchange rate @end of ICO to establish a base rate for determining the amount of tokens that you're supposed to get. There were a lot of issues[1] due to investors' lack of due dilligence, so the conversion rate which was going to be used for distribution was fixed at that point.

The individual was trying to elaborate how the 3k BTC rumor was nonsense, and that based on current conversation rates the whole allegation was dead in the water (even though his math is off).

Not really; NVO was never actively using Bitcointalk as its platform. If you want to know things and ask questions, then you really need to join the TG channel.

Some were liquidated before; the remaining ones are being liquidated now (e.g. MAID BTC equivalent arrived today).

Correct.

Nothing much, just a lot of smoke to make my life and the whole refunding process unnecessarily more difficult than it needs to be.

[1] Which happens when you ignore "Do not invest from an exchange" times several hundred examples.
[2] Oddly enough, the individual with the sole access to the least amount of coin at any given time and most activity during ICO & this dispute is being blamed the most.

I wouldn't allow individuals such Quicksy and yourself any possibility of an audit, while there are individuals to which I'd be open to share the necessary information with. Thus, both statements are correct.

There is no issue where the word 'we' is applicable. The NVO situation is being resolved: the vote is process which will (based on current results) be followed by the refund. You are actually actively slowing me down with the ridiculous out-of-context claims and allegations that I have to respond to.

---

The last valid post that I responded to was the large one by suchmoon (which took ~20 minutes - post editing time included).

NVO is not a scam. You seem to fail to understand the difference between a scam and a bad investment (scam: Centra; bad investment: NVO, MobileGO, etc.).

It was already clearly stated that this will not happen. You have not read the thread, again (which is the n-th time that I'm notifying you about your failure to do so).

This is why you frequently mention me in private channels, because you just don't care. Evidence of such:

---

Nobody actively involved in forum disputes would be naive enough to fall for this nonsense. rmcdermott927's vendetta and bias against me is well known since 2017, which is why he proceeded to make these slanderous statements while he had the chance.

---

The clique behavior is notable; half-active accounts that appear at irregular intervals and try to jump me. Goalposts are being moved already, which was expected.

Re-read last sentence in paragraph one and then the above post.  

They are not "depositors", and the funds are no longer theirs after they get their tokens (except in refund/buyback cases; but not investors - holders). You seem to be ill-informed as to how ICO escrow works.

Again, read the thread - it was already posted here.


Already debunked to be untrue. Read the thread. Additionally, I've already clarified that I'm paid by NVO (i.e. by the money released to them, and not separate from their milestones) thus the fee (which in case of BCash was not 18 BTC as claimed) is entirely irrelevant to the allegations raised.
