So you are trying to sell your domain to a pump and dump group. Cool. Enjoy the negative

Interesting that you framed that in the most negative terms possible.  Is it your opinion that there are no valid ICOs?  I'm not interested in pump and dump schemes.  The only reason I'm answering you is the amount of seniority and experience you have on this board.  I actually value your feedback.

Also, forgot above, the ending time for this is Sunday July 16, 2017 3pm pacific time.

Premium cryto domain isCoin.com is for sale for the right price. I have had several inquiries for isCoin.com and perhaps the time has come to sell.  This is a 6 letter domain name that will energize a project or ICO.

The opening bid for this domain is 50 BTC.    I know it's a lot of money and it might not sell, but this domain is pure gold, if you know what I mean. There is a hidden reserve, which is my way of deciding whether or not the bid is high enough, assuming that it we get any bids at all.  Honestly, isCoin.com is superstar domain name and it should go for a lot more.

I would also consider getting paid from the proceeds of an ICO, depending on how close to launch the project is, and as long as I'm not in any way legally tied to the ICO.

Once we have a mutually agreed upon price, we will find an agreeable escrow company to close.

Thanks for taking a look, and good luck if you decide to jump in.

Thank you, I will check that out.

Just want to get some opinions on this at this point.  There are tons of new coins coming onto the market, new ICOs every day.  I'm not sure how many of these projects are based in the US.

I suppose there are two flavors of this question:

1.   The legality of a new currency or token created by an open-source project run by a foundation in the US.

2.  The legality of a new currency or token created by a privately held company un the US.

I notice for example that Veritaseum, a privately held US company, talks about Vertitaseum being a token to purchase services.  No insult intended, but is that just a smokescreen for acting like a currency to work around US law?

I wonder if you are running an ICO, and you only accept Ethereum, are you raising actual money, which would then fall under SEC rules, or are we in wild west of unknown territory, and therefore completely unregulated?  Seems like you could make a case that Ethereum is not money...

As a programmer/writer/entrepreneur, I'm new to this space, so sorry if these are obvious questions.  I find it fascinating and am considering putting a project together...  

Also, sorry if this thread is in the wrong category, I tried to delete to find a better fit, but couldn't...
