After reviewing these profiles I agree. It seems like they should release some working software then do an offering.

The consulting company involved can't even manage to maintain its own website?  https://dontpanic.consulting

Cheesy

Real professionals! Guys are raising money and cannot keep website up and running!

Yea after reviewing the profiles I realized what I was doing was gambling. These people aren't even close to qualified to launch or run a new platform. They don't even have proper corporate experience or relevant educations.

Don't get me wrong, I still might gamble Smiley But compare to Waves where I at least see *some* path forward, I don't see it here.

Now I feel bad I am crushing people's dreams.

My point is, given the lack of resources and experience, I would like to see a more focused approach to such a broad goal. As now it is hard to think about servicing Java/Ruby/C# developers all on one platform all needing their own SDKs IN ADDITION to servicing a broad consumer market. Focus is key. On other hand I get these are ICOs and selling vision is the name of the game.

*sigh*

Are people really asking a serious question when asking if ICO coin brand X is a scam?  99.99% of them are scams and unless you are truly deceiving yourself,  you are gambling when you buy into one.  People make these shitcoins not because they want to make you rich or because they love puppy dogs and sunshine,  but to make themselves rich.  That's it.

Some are really skeptical when it comes to ICO coins, many have turned scam after the ICO ends, but i asure rise will never be a scam it will not get rich quick but its worth a try.

I see the word  "scam" being used too loosely here as usual. I do agree the team is maybe perhaps the most important factor. But lets stop using the S word and save it when real SCAMS do come.

Now is the team qualified? I would say I would not invest right now, but this is just my overall feeling the project will not pan out.

This is the age of the ICO, everyone is trying to jump on the ICO train now.   After ETH, LISK, and Waves huge collections people see $$$.

Scam or not, it seems most ICOs are just trying to cash in on the easy money, with a fancy website, team, and polished white paper ...

But anyone is free to invest whenever wherever ...

Ive decided to stay clear of this one, maybe it will all go well but the logo doesnt look like its had a whole lot of work put into it, Looks like a 5 year old slapped it together on microsoft paint.  Still good luck to all who are investing, hopefully it turns out well for everyone and i will be gutted i never invested.

I was going to invest in this ICO but I am second guessing it now after checking out some of the Linkedin pages. Everyone on board is basically unemployed or has some shoddy inexperienced background. Very underwhelming for a team leading a new coin? Anyone agree or disagree?

9 out of 10 start ups fail, does this make them scams?


And why we are still at it, Lisk team was way more underquallified but this did not stop us from doing 4x ICO. Will Lisk succeed eventually? I don't know and I don't care. 4x is a good investment/bet for about 30 days.

It is getting so easy these days for any person, any age almost to start some revenue making project, i won't even call all of them "businesses".

I am 46 and when i was young, there was no Internet, no crypto, i made my first dollars going door to door painting people's address on the curb for $5....amazing what a three dollar can of spray paint and a set of stencils can do.


the point is that back then, ideas, business ideas and other things came and went because there was little way to act of them and the whole global think tank was not there

i will encourage anyone that has a good idea and tries to run with it, or idea at all. 

That being said, i do think that a business team that does not have the complete expertise to fully follow through on an idea should be backed by third party help.  I would rather see guys like these have a website built for $5 on fiverr, rather than use drag and drop and such to make a site.  a really great idea can become so big so quick that the money and time of the clients vested in that business is huge, the wrong team can lose everything for everyone by simply missing the VPS monthly bill or deciding to upgrade the server and not properly bringing the old data

they seem ok at rise and i can see some things that look like they have used outside help....i just like to watch for issues that could mean disaster and not even through scamming

1. Intermittent Web Service

     this could mean that the traffic on the site has grown to the point that an upgrade needs to be done.  Some VPS providers will upgrade the server with one click, but that does not always mean that the data can make the journey like that

2. Static lapses in support

when a company gets too big for its britches i find that there are a lot of reports that the support team is not answering questions.  if this is always the same time of day, that tells me that the team is too small and using support software, but the fact is that a small team of people sleep sometimes.... larger companies either staff support 24/7 or use a third party system

There are other things that i see on other sites that show me they are growing too quick....the point is that a good idea has to be backed by good action, i don't care if this team does that or pays some one in a third world country to do it, these days you can buy expertise and pay by the hour
