Either the developer is a lunatic, or this is a giant money grab. To ask 50 BTC for a 1% stake in a project like this is absurd. This project may be worth 50BTC as a WHOLE, not for 1%. What does the dev have to show other than a few lines of code? Who are you, dev? Why should the community trust a sock puppet account, with no reputation? Do you have a WOT account? Who else is on your team? Do you have a timeline, a business plan, in other words you need to provide a little more before anyone ( except true fools) will trust you with their BTC.

Consider two other currencies that used the IPO model, NXT and Mastercoin. NXT took 21 BTC for its IPO, providing the full 100% of NXT to investors. The return on this investment was around 3000x. Next, let's look at Mastercoin. Mastercoin raised 4700 BTC, but they had a team of developers and a solid plan. Investing in Mastercoin would have netted between 100-200x, depending on what time you sold. For this project, if we take the 50BTC = 1% stake, you'd need for this coin to have a ~100,000,000 market cap, just to see a 25x return. Most coins never break 10,000,000 let alone a hundred million. So not only is this an extremely high risk investment, it's also low reward.

In his communications, the dev says things like "initial investors will become outrageously rich". Not only does that sound bad coming from the developer of a purportedly legitimate coin, but no one will become rich with the current model except for the dev. Overall ,I say that this project has a very high chance of being an outright scam. If it isn't a scam, and we're just dealing with a megalomaniac dev, your potential earnings are so low as to be laughable for this level of risk. Stay away.


Pro analysis. +1

The white paper is so ridiculous that one could argue the entertainment it provides might very well be worth the 135 BTC+ it scammed.

And people, I know it hurts and sucks, but it is very, very unlikely that anyone is going to see a refund. This is a SCAM, are scammers known to refund? No they aren't

I hope you all get your money back, though.

I haven't invested in this but thinking of "donating' just because of how hilarious the white paper was. Credit where credit is due.
I'm surprised this hasn't ended up on the news or anything yet!

I'm not so much a newbie, more so a longtime lurker turned poster.
As I have to go through the newbie posting process I thought I'd make my first post something that adds value and at the same time one I can learn from given other's responses : )

So, I thought it would be great for us to collate a list of all the tools/sites/repositories that help you stay up-to-date/ahead of what's going on in the world of cryptocurrencies! (exchanges unnecessary, unless they have some sort of super hidden feature)

I'll start with some of my favourites and add more as per your contributions (contributions will be credited!)
Please add: site link + one line description of use + [username]. As follows:


Let's try and uncover those hidden gems!
