That, ladies and gents, means the bottom has officially been reached 

There is no "start date." You figure out what you would get in a year and divide that by 365 and that's how many coins you will get per day.

We will be able to hold coins in Bittrex's wallet and stake at the same time? I've never heard of that before! Is that a first for crypto?

I don't normally do this but I just bought .7 btc worth of ibits at 350 sat. If this coin even gets back to a FRACTION of what it was worth just a few days ago, anyone who buys now will make an absolute killing! Plus from what I can tell the devs seem sincere and competant so LET'S DO THIS

And what are you basing this statement on exactly?

That is a cop-out by Boxxa big time. He was one of the main devs and spokesperson's for this coin. Whatever.....no point in continuing to complain. Might as well suck it up and move on and take this as a very painful learning experience (kind of like my ex wife  )

Sure, it's called I needed funds to invest in other projects (getgems to be specific). It's not dumping if I simply sell some of my shares.

I actually put some money into Ambercoin with the intent on selling later at a higher rate because it's pretty much one of the only coins that is guaranteed to go up over time.

I can assure you most of the shares that you see in my wallet currently are not going anywhere.

dadon, you are a good guy and like me you lost a lot of money with this. Soul_eater, I am merely a dude with some money to invest so I would have no idea whatsoever what to do with this coin. Obviously, if someone can take it over and make it work, I am all for it. But until that day, I'm afraid I am going to assume this coin is dead.

I would say Devs go FUCK YOURSELVES, but the problem is they will almost never come on here to read what we are writing so I might as well save my breath.

I know this was mentioned before, but I will mention it again....

I know that Gemz is a phone based currency, however it would be nice to at least have the option of being able to transfer coins to a desktop wallet. When Gemz goes to $1+ per coin, anyone with several tens of thousands of coins or more will want a super secure way to store them and I'm not sure people with that many coins will want to trust Bittrex or their phone.

Other than that, this project is super exciting! Just joined yesterday and it seems I found this coin at the PERFECT time! 

(I am re-posting this so that it doesn't get buried at the bottom of the previous page)

Let's take a look at the evidence and decide what the realistic chances are that Ambercoin is a scam:

To me one of the strongest pieces of evidence showing that Amber Trade is a real company is that they actually rented a booth at the XIII International Baltic Jewelry Show:

http://ambertrip.com/en/list-of-exhibitors

At that event, several people took pictures showing their real faces:



On top of real people showing their real faces, we also know the following:

The companies director is:
Ms. Olga OVERCHUK, Date of Birth: 23/05/1986, UKRAINIAN
Registered address is: 1 WORLD TRADE CENTRE, TOWER 42, 25 OLD BROAD STREET, LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM EC2N 1HQ

And of course, all of this can be verified by visiting the London office.

You will notice, at the XIII International Jewelry Show there were many "props" (for lack of a better word) such as the large banner in the foreground as well as the other white banner in the background:




And there were numerous brochures that clearly feature the Amber Trade logo on the table (also notice the yellow/green brochures in the pic above in the bottom left corner of the table that clearly have the Amber Trade logo) and even the small white flag:





Now of course, a scam MIGHT go to all this trouble, but a. why would real people be willing to show their faces and why would they go to the trouble to put tiny details in such as the banners, numerous different kinds of brochures, flags, name tags, etc. and then not even mention any of those things on here? In fact, they are barely noticeable and if I didn't point it out no one would have even noticed. So why go to such trouble to make fake brochures and then not even point them out to us crypto-investors if indeed they were intent on scamming us?

If this is a scam, they also paid to have orange vests and bags made and again they didn't mention it on here and no one would have even noticed if I were not pointing it out right now:



They also paid good money to have their van painted with Amber-Trade Logo, and again, it only shows up in one picture that no one would have noticed unless I pointed it out here (couldn't get this image to post so click the link):

We know that they have a real office in London because you can Google the building and see that sure enough they do have an office:

http://www.datalog.co.uk/browse/detail.php/CompanyNumber/09246220/CompanyName/AMBER+TRADE+LTD

Now you might say, sure if this is a scam they could rent an office in London (albeit a VERY expensive one no doubt...here is the building they are in: http://www.tower42.com/) but why in the world would they then go and open an office in Lithuania as well? Isn't that going a bit overboard if this is a scam?

For anyone wondering if the Lithuanian office is real:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=944408.msg10693219#msg10693219

And of course anyone in London or Lithuania can simply go visit either of those offices and report back here what they found. What scammers would be willing to open themselves up to such potential scrutiny?

So the point is, yes this might be a scam but it is highly HIGHLY doubtful.

are exchanges like Yobit the only way to get chip right now?

All company shares will not be sold as Ambercoin as the company is planning on having a traditional IPO and issuing traditional stocks in the future. Even still, the fact that the numbers of coins for each round are decreasing at the same time that the price for each round is increasing means you won't see all Ambercoins sell out for a long long time.

As far as dumping, as long as profits each quarter continue to increase along with a steady rise in the price of the coin why in the world would anyone dump?

With all the financial and moral support that we all gave them, the least they could have done was to come on here and by honest with us. The fact that they just disappeared is absolutely disgusting. I'm sorry to everyone that lost money with this piece of shit.

See you guys on other coins hopefully (check out Ambercoin, btw.....it's an international Amber mining/trading company based in London that is using the blockchain as company shares. THAT is a solid investment!.....thank me later ).

Ok, that's all I have to say. Wish I could SMAC those fuckers around for doing this to us.....

Actually I need to SMAC myself for investing so much in this. God DAMN I am naive! 

Totally agree with you. There is no benefit to anyone for Ambercoin to be added to more exchanges, and in fact as far as I can tell, it would be more of a pain for Ambercoindev to have to send coins to 5 different exchanges everytime coins sell out.

Bittrex does not allow coins that represent shares (that's why we aren't on Bittrex and never will be). Oh well, their loss!

This has been said before, but it is worth repeating.....

If David can make the pegging happen, then every Bitbay you hold will be worth $1. Right now 1 btc can get you over a MILLION Bitbays! Now what are the chances that in a few months your 1M Bays will be worth 1M dollars? Well I don't really know, but considering that the dev is a bonafide genius and considering he and a team of others have been working on this project for nearly a year, I can definitely say that the chance of the peg working is WAY WAY WAY better than the chance of you winning a scratch off ticket for any substantial amount of money.

Bottom line is that anyone that doesn't put at least 1 btc into Bay right now is just a fool. The ratio of risk to reward here is about as good as you will ever see in your lifetime.

When will this be available for purchase?

Well from my perspective it's not so much speculation as it is fantasizing, and who doesn't like to fantasize about one day being rich?

As far as the company still having 30 million coins, the dev did say that at some point there was talk of the company offering shares on the stock market so maybe they way to keep most of them for that? Who know. I might even be wrong about every single thing I just wrote......

That being said, dev feel free to delete my above post if you prefer. There will be no hard feelings  

Because dumpers, by definition, do not hold coins for month after month.....they dump!

Anyone inclined to dump would certainly have done so at some point in the last few months.
