You are complaining that there is no new ICO, even though that ICO was never announced and just made up by you to discredit the project?

The last transparency report was on Sep 10, 2019 which by tomorrow is exactly 5 months ago. But I guess, facts don't matter, because it feels like it is more than 6 months ago, right?

I doubt it, but would that be a bad thing? Banks only invest in projects when they expect to get returns - so they must expect Nimiq to skyrocket to give them a loan.

Last report was Sep 10, 2019. Biannual means on average 6 months between reports. Thus next biannual report would be due Mar 10, 2020.

Last number reported Sep is $ 170,000 a month. Such an increase is rather unlikely, as there haven't been any announcements of significant investments.

Nimiq Foundation is a public company and you can request authorities for up-to-date information on presidency. At some point early last year, they said Robin is in the process of being removed from foundation. I am not aware of any update since (but I am not that active in the community anymore, so might have missed something). According to their whitepaper "The board president is elected annually by the board", as this is more than one year ago, it's really unlikely he still serves as a president.

This was commented on during AmA about a year ago.
As usual, you are coming up with old shoes again and again just to spread negativity.

Have you actually asked them? You're well aware that most users of this thread ignore your posts, so they probably haven't heard about this stupid story yet.

And for the facts: They just published a financial transparency report last month https://www.nimiq.com/blog/transparency-report-2019/ stating that they still have $10.5M assets, which means they lost less than $2M over the last year. Why should they do an ICO if they already have enough funds for 5 years to go? Also it is highly unlikely that a bank, which is regulated in Germany, will conduct an ICO.

Just a few months ago you were telling everyone you had insider information that they'd be bankrupt soon or by end of the year and now we have proper evidence that everything goes well on their financials, so I guess your insider information was just completely made up. Why should anybody believe you now?

I don't think they stated where they got the loan from, but it's probably not that hard to get a 3.3 million load if you can provide bank shares worth 4 million as a security. If I was to guess, I'd say they got the loan at 0 or low interest from the bank itself as a way to delay the requirement to pay for the bank shares. The bank shares probably also create some interest to them, so this might actually be a positive deal providing income with about 0 cost.

As I understood, they want to start PoS testnet by end of this year and go live next year, see https://www.nimiq.com/roadmap/

Has nothing to do with Brave and is the first of its kind. It doesn't require a desktop app (no wallet app or custom browser like brave) instead it runs in every browser as is. Not a hosted web wallet like CoinBase or centralized networking wallet like MyEtherWallet, but really a full featured local wallet within a website. And the wallet is also pretty user friendly and can be integrated like PayPal in shops etc.

So many coins are just copying others, but this one has some unique ideas and a solid tech team behind, that is also actively doing research in PoS technology (read their blog).

I guess everyone that is interested in a serious conversation about Nimiq stopped using BitcoinTalk and moved over to their other communication channels (Telegram, Discord). The trolls had too much room and apparently forum moderators didn't consider that excessive trolling a problem (only some posts were deleted and the users not banned).
I also can understand that the Nimiq Team doesn't want to go self-moderated.
  1) It will support the trolls claim of being censored,
  2) looking at how aggressive these trolls are, moderating a thread could become a full-time job without the forum moderators banning the trolls
and should forum moderators decide to ban the trolls, the thread would work fine without being self-moderated again....

IMHO, forum moderation/administration team failed to see the need to act here and thus rendered the thread and its forum unusable for serious conversation, which (again IMO) is exactly what they should aim for, to allow the forum to be used for serious conversation without unnecessary distraction.

I don't think it makes sense to compare Nimiq to Brave/BAT:
- Nimiq uses a browser as any other web app. No installation is needed as it runs in whatever browser the platform provides. The main use case of Nimiq is web payments for everyone, to replace PayPal. The code is completely written from scratch.
- Brave is a browser and cryptocurrency light client in one application. It is not installation-free, it's a normal desktop app (and most people refuse to install such). The main use case of Brave/BAT is to change/replace advertisement/tracking industry. Brave is basically Chrome+AdBlocker+Cryptocurrency+Marketing, thus the technological advantage of Brave over just using any browser with a few plugins (Metamask,uBlock,...) is limited IMO.

The only way that you lost 99% of your funds is that you never had any. Because if you invested at ico price, which was about 0.014 USD per NIM, and completely forgot to cost-average-out (as the clever investors did), you would still have lost less than 90% (current price is 0.0016 USD per NIM) which is a whole magnitude off of 99%.

But as I have already shown several times in the past, math is not your strength, so better don't mention any numbers at all....

Well, I do own some NIM, so I do have an agenda. You claimed you do as well. (everyone knows you don't)

This is an invitation to a general assembly to discuss the possibility to change the name.

No, You are obviously wrong and this is because your math doesn't even add up (and again, everyone can verify): As TokenPays share of 9.9% was dilluted to 7.5%, this means that the total amount of shares was increased by about 25% (= 1-7.5/9.9), but Nimiq only bough 9.9%. Thus the action that diluted the shares was not Nimiqs investment. You also claim that WEG Bank inflated its shares which is not true either. WEG Bank increased their equity from 6.5M EUR to 8.58M EUR on Dec 21, 2018. The decision to do so (according to record in german company register) happened on their general assembly on Nov 13, 2018. As far as we know from Nimiq, they first met WEG Bank CEO during their hackathon end of November, thus the increase in equity was planned before Nimiq and WEG Bank CEO met first. Also I doubt that Nimiq was owning the shares early January as they didn't mention anything related during their AmA when they gave details on their assets. In the blog post on Jan 24 they also did not mention the shares, but wrote that "Nimiq holds approximately $9.1 million in total assets from original ETH contributions (diversified and held in crypto, fiat, and the campus property)", which implies they didn't own any company shares at that point (or these shares were on top of the $9.1M, which is unlikely IMO). My best guess is that they developed Nimiq OASIS and only acquired the shares afterwards, maybe even as a compensation for developing the OASIS protocol (they never wrote they bought, they only wrote acquired).

Long story short: You are trying to connect two things that are completely unrelated. The WEG Bank increased their equity to serve more customers on Nov 12, 2018, diluting the shares of TokenPay. Nimiq bought shares of WEG Bank at some point after Jan 24, 2019.

You have a record of provably invalid claims and lies using your multiple fake accounts. You never contributed anything of value to this thread.

You fault to assume something just because of rumors... Neither Nimiq nor WEG Bank ever announced such name change, so it really is off-topic here as well.

No that's just not how it works. When you buy stocks of a bank you are investing into the bank and get shares, but you are not increasing the equity. The money goes to the previous owner of the shares, not the banks equity. This was actually explained by Matthias himself in another tweet: https://twitter.com/MatthiasHauff/status/1119308337525424128

In most countries it is required for a bank to fulfill a certain equity ratio. Thus, banks need to increase equity to serve more customers. This is completely unrelated to investments....

The tweet doesn't mention Nimiq at all, so again you are only speculating that the increase in equity is anyhow related to Nimiqs investment. Rather unlikely, as an increase in capital is usually due to operational needs of WEG Bank. Your claim that they have 0 customers can easily proven invalid as its public knowledge that Lisk project has a bank account with WEG Bank.

Let's just wait for the next transparency report to get the details of the deal from Nimiq directly instead of relying on your obviously invalid claims.

Have you checked the onepager? The plan is to reduce block time to "seconds" and allow more than 1000 tps in Nimiq 2.0. There is no timeline for that yet, but they recently published a research paper on a consensus protocol dubbed Albatross that is supposed to provide these properties.

It wouldn't be no speech, but certainly less useless spam, thread bumping and so on. And I am pretty certain the rest of bitcoin talk community would prefer for this thread to be less noisy.

You moved fast from a statement that sounds like you are completely certain to "probably". If you are certain, what is your reasoning to be certain, or is it just your personal feeling after you lost $100k by investing $50k?

Free speech doesn't include unlimited spamming, trolling, thread bumping, ... Free speech doesn't mean that you are allowed to cry as load as you can so that others can no longer communicate.
Free speech means you are allowed to give your opinion and comments. You already did that. We heard your opinion, clear and loudly. But you continue to write the same stuff over and over again. You are no longer contributing to the discussions here, you are actually harming any serious discussion. You are actually hurting the free speech

I don't think the team continued their course without change. They already improved on marketing and communications and I bet they will continue to do so.
Them working together with a bank to provide fiat-to-crypto bridge is huge and will be beneficial not only for Nimiq but for the whole cryptosphere.

That's not the point, everyone does things wrong. The point is that the negative trust rating is not because of any wrongdoings of the project, but because of your wrongdoings.


I think the rules are a bit broken by design here:
1) It is not forbidden to own multiple accounts
2) It is only forbidden to double-post with the same account.
Thus, the rule that forbids double-post is basically superfluous as it is allowed to bypass it using an alt account or any kind of collaboration between two or more accounts.

If you read the details of the trust rating causing this warning, you'll realize it is probably caused by you spamming the thread with useless nonsense, not by wrongdoings of the project.

First of all, WHO are YOU to make anyone answer your questions. You have no right to demand responsibility from the project. I don't understand why the team need to answer to your questions.

Those a provable facts and I and others already showed to you in this thread.

No activity of any of you various accounts between May 2 and May 8, even though normally it is multiple posts per day. Had some vacation?

@Moderators: sorry, we go a bit off-topic here, but as long as you refuse to do something effective against those multiple fake users doing most of the "conversation" in this thread, I think it is fine to at least educate everyone about it.

I also have some questions for you:
1. Do you consume drugs (cannabis)
2. How many of your friends consume drugs (cannabis)
3. Why did you hide the fact uncovered by bitcointalkers that you use multiple accounts to fake a conversation in this thread?
    Why did you hide the fact uncovered by bitcointalkers that you actually didn't invest in the project?
    Why did you hide the fact uncovered by bitcointalkers that you produced fake screenshots as proofs?
4. Why all of your accounts suddenly stopped talking to the community for a week just to come back with the same old shit?

I explain to you why this is a fake and how everyone can verify it is: https://imgur.com/dGLflPm
1. Font of page title does not match other UI elements.
2. Does not display lock symbol on https URL.
3. IP address country flag shows china, but GitHub does not host in china.
4. Scrollbar is scrolled all up, but we are missing the top bar and search bar of the GitHub website which would be visible when scrolled all up.
5. Similar to 4: The GitHub page would ensure a proper padding on the left if scrolled all left.
6. We cannot see the window title (why?) but you can see that it is way longer than the tab title (which is what would be displayed in the window title).
7. The font in the URL bar is way smaller than the one in the search bar. I guess you reduced size so that the full URL matches in the URL bar, but normal browsers won't do that.

tl;dr: You screenshot is provably a fake. You claimed it's not even when directly confronted with it, so you are lying. Same as you did when you claimed you don't use multiple alt accounts even after I gathered proof that you do.
