Guys don't advertise other coins here, it's in bad taste. Plus it is burying the legit question I posted lol.

I'm curious how the TaaS team thinks this compares to Iconomi. As in, will it be in direct competition with ICN or are there distinguishing aspects between the two projects that could allow them to coexist and thrive together?

In terms of ICN:BTC sure, but I don't think it ever went below ICO price in terms of ICN:USD. Did it?

Interesting. What's your take on this, Mal?

Yeah people should stop hyping the conferences as though they know there will be a launch announcement. It doesn't help and it can actually only hurt: if there is the announcement it will blow the price up either way, but now if there isn't an announcement people are going to have their misinformed expectations let down.

I thought US citizens could participate in the ICN ICO, and can buy ICN just like they can buy any other cryptocurrency token/coin. I thought it was just the performance and index funds and the other funds that will be made by individuals on the platform that US citizens couldn't purchase?

What is the explanation for going to the conference in the USA if the platform can't be used there? ICN can still be bought there so maybe they think it is still worth it? Or maybe just for the exposure in general?

Well they have announced that they will be at the conference, it is complete conjecture as to what that implies exactly but it is safe to assume that it will be good for ICN one way or another.

I feel like Polo will only add after they have had time to accumulated some themselves.

Everybody and their mom gonna want in on this

Sorry but as somebody who has been involved in crypto for 4-5 years now, getting a coin working at its most basic level is not what I consider "development". That should have been ready at release. With any other coin that would have been ready at release. For fucks sake you guys do remember this is based on CRYPTI, right? They've actually been working on this for far longer than you would assume based on how long LISK itself has been out, and yet we are still struggling with the basics. Not to mention this means they have essentially had TWO ICOs and are just now getting the the proverbial "foundation" laid. What exactly did we pay them for with that CRYPTI ICO? What exactly have we paid them for with the LISK ICO so far? We've paid them to set up tax shelters for the money we gave them and to get the blockchain (which is basically a copy of CRYPTI, so again idk what we paid for with CRYPTI if it isn't already working by this point) working at its most basic level, that's about it. When I say development I mean the things that are "supposed" to set LISK apart form the surplus of other stable and adequately performing blockchains. Those are the features they sold us on, those are features we are still waiting on.

What? Percent ICN invested into BTC? What does that even mean?

Well, it has been how long since launch now? We have had pretty much no development while they try to set up their organizations/companies. Is there a legal reason why they can't work on the code during this time (honest question)? You expect me to believe it took every bit of their time (they should be working AT LEAST >=40 hr work weeks with how much money they are raking in) to set up their organizations when it took this long? Sure, these things take a while to accomplish because there is tons of back and forth and bureaucracy you have to go through, but they don't actually take that much time or require that much work on a daily basis (especially split between an entire team of people)- a good portion of the time is spent waiting for things to be filed, approved, waiting to meet with people, etc. What were they doing during this entire time while they waited for the foundation of their company and why couldn't they begin work on the code? Is it because they need the ICO money to hire outside programmers? But aren't there programmers within the team itself? Wouldn't it be in the teams best interest to begin development ASAP? It's not like they are getting paid one way or another until the ICO funds are released, so why wouldn't they work to increase the value of their token during that time (they hold tons of LISK too, remember)?

This thread has the best memes, I love it. You guys are the best! Still holding my WBB.

I'm beginning to lose confidence in Lisk, as many supporters have. I'm not going to sell yet but I've pretty much written this off as a loss at this point.

Maybe they haven't had time to update the spreadsheet? Did you tell them your status upgraded? Can't expect them to constantly keep track of the status of each and every participant.

Yeah, let's be realistic here. 1$ is pretty much guaranteed if the platform launch is a success, 10$ isn't too farfetched if dividend payouts are a success. But $100 per ICN "within hours of listing" on poloniex is a fucking joke.

Well, at least US investors can purchase ICN. So they can still benefit from the funds/platform indirectly.

Memes got the president of the united states elected, what can't they do?

I'm sure this has been answered many times already so sorry for the dumb question.

If you live in the USA, you cannot participate in the iconomi.index fund, the iconomi.performance fund, or any funds on the OFM, but you can hold the ICN token- is that correct?
