Hello,
Bought in yesterday, still haven't received my 50% bonus.

Hi Bannedseller! There are many differences but on the whole they are creating a platform for developers to make gaming and gambling applications on. Our project is focusing on eSports with our blockchain based rewards platform built on ethereum. We differentiate ourselves from the competition by only allowing skill based wagering on yourself, as opposed to wagering on others or betting on games of chance (i.e. gambling on casino style games). FirstBlood's function is not considered gambling in the United States and in many other jurisdictions throughout the world.

We also have our cross-title eSports Integrity System that includes Witness nodes to verify game data and our distributed Jury Voting Pool to deal with alleged cases of hacking, cheating, or toxic behavior. This is something that no other similar project has attempted to do (on or off the Blockchain).

Unlike other projects, we've also gone the extra mile by making sure we are complying with existing laws to ensure that the project can thrive. Other projects are violating gambling laws, issuing securities, or have no sort of legal counsel at all. These actions not only have the potential to kill the project, but may put the funders, users, and the founders at risk for criminal prosecution. This field has come under a lot of scrutiny in the last few months and we'd rather not get caught up in that mess, for the sake of the project and our users.

Lastly, we strive to be as transparent as possible with all of our operations. We have a majority of our team is on our Slack (http://slack.firstblood.io/) 24/7 to answer questions and connect with our fans. Here are the links to all of our LinkedIn profiles if you'd like to check us out!

Initially, I was quite interested in investing in DECENT within the first week or so. However, this is one of the worst distribution techniques I have seen simply because you are valuing the early investor way too much (it's not just my personal opinion; it's consensus according to the comments made in the thread). To avoid FUD and also to make DECENT a more successful ICO, I urge you to reconsider the ICO structure of the first day. Some solutions could be lowering the bonus or getting rid of the first day bonus as others have suggested.

Try deleting the app data: navigate to c:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local and delete byteball-test folder.  Then restart the app.

nevermind, i found it:

Sasha's approching in his dictionary means 1 years, we adapt his words and promises. ROFLMAO

As long as there's some real advancing, however small it is, it's something.
I think that Sasha could have ran with the money in a way or another if he would have wanted to.
I almost gave up hope, but no. Now I think that he will deliver when the time comes. And I think that it's going to happen this year.

glad I found the real gnosis on BTT.

I'm  very interested in this project! and will be watching this thread
looking forward to the crowdfund.

good luck
