Why are people still posting for bounties in here. The project is dead. "ICO has been put on hold indefinitely." has been on their webpage for ages. Apart from one crappy fb post today that BOT development is now going to be Russia only they haven't released any information that would suggest the project is anything but utterly dead.  Not to the Bounty participants, not to the Pre-ico backers who gave them funding and not to the crypto community as a whole.

Guys...

" BoT ICO has been put on hold indefinitely. "

rekt.

They already issued one round of useless CR! tokens back in the ether.camp hackathon.

So hack aside what was the logic behind early investors sending more ETH to participate in the ICO?

I mean I was an early backer and bought CR! tokens under the impression they were worth something...

bamos01 @bamos01 Dec 14 2016 22:49 What is the reason to buy CR tokens?

Alon Muroch @negedzuregal Dec 15 2016 00:41 Hi @bamos01, great to have you here! Our product is 100% directed to crypto investors, developed by crypto investors. The most critical stages in a startup's life is its early days until it reaches market fit, that is, a product optimised enough to give great value to its users. The same way traditional investors invest in a company and get direct influence of its decision making (a sit in the board of directors), any of our investors will do as well. The tokens can be used by us only if we convince you, our investors, they will be used at the right development direction. As we optimise our product, the token's value will rise as it will become more attractive and the company's product becomes better and better. Buy more tokens early on, you will have more influence on decision making and future development. An incredible side effect is that the more people invest in us the more market validation we get which means, again, the company becomes even more attractive.



On top of that they strung us along asking to contact them as they had a reward for early investors

From their blog posts...

"Ether.Camp early investors call – To further emphasis our appreciation of your support, we want to grant a special reward to those of you who backed us from day one. We are calling all of you who supported us through the Ether.Camp Hackathon to contact us and get your reward. Please send your e-mail and name used during the Hackathon to contact@coindash.io. We will reach you as soon as possible."

Turns out this "reward" was just the opportunity to send them more ETH via the whitelist. LOL

Did any of you other early investors have a similar view and expectations as myself? Or did I see this all wrong?

EDIT: for full disclosure I declined the "opportunity" to participate in the ICO

mine got locked too yoriz777@gmail.com, no email sent

I’m in the same boat, but I’m not giving up on my wallet, it’s much less than yours but still too much for me to just let go.

RE: “I don't have the time to bruteforce it (maybe it will take years) “

Last bruteforce estimation I looked at with the full character set required was 27,000 years. That is to say if the password was randomly generated you’ve got buckley’s chance.

But if as you say “It is a phrase with words, so not just random symbols” and you think you know part of the password or its potential components it  there’s a couple of programs you can compile (I did it and my experience using terminal and coding is rudimentary at best) which while limited in their scope can still do quite a lot.
 

A Brief summary of my experience….

Walletrecoveryservices.com
Decided I would try Dave from walletrecoveryservices as there is plenty of people who vouch for him.
I only had one potential password candidate at this point and to this day I'm still uncomfortable that I sent my wallet file off.
Other than these guys I wouldn’t recommend handing my wallet  over to a third party.

Great for my sanity if not much else, instead of fretting whether I was repeating a password attempt or forgetting a possibility I just thought of. This lets you just save all your password possibilities in one text file and test them.


Ethcracker
https://github.com/lexansoft/ethcracker
This is what I’m working with currently, lets you test a file with password components e.g if you think your password had say 3 parts…

Say one of cat ,dog, or fish,
and one of 123 345 or 567,
and one of @ $ or !

It will try every combination of those components. Cat123@, 345!dog etc etc
CPU only, so takes my setup about 24 hours to run through about 45 million passwords.


Walletrecovery
https://github.com/prabhatsharma/walletrecovery
Haven’t tried this one yet, but it's next! lets you test up to 4 wildcards with your password guesses.

Hope I've encouraged you to have a crack at it...feel free to PM if you have any questions!
