I was literally about to just delete this entire post I made.. once I saw their website.. but nothing has changed. VIP access for 2 btc... so I pay 2 btc and I get to buy your ICO tokens ahead of everyone else?!?!?! THEN I GET DUMPED ON..OMG if only I had a scat fetish I would be all over this..
What makes your project so special that you dont need to spend the time to put together the BASIC Announcement information about your blockchain / project / details that makes it special... its almost more insulting that you try to keep those things hidden from us.
2 Person team... CFO and CTO -- but neither has worked on a blockchain project before? Dude just go enter a science fair somewhere and maybe you will win an amazon giftcard so you can buy some IPS's and create your network without scamming people. Come back then with some more details.
You just want donations for your crypto-currency huh? Its totally new and innovative right? Maybe wrong...
People want software and a roadmap before they consider buying new "crypto-currencies" - which by the way, is not how you should be referring to any "digital tokens", or "digital assets" you are trying to create.
I feel like you don't really know whats going on in this crypto-world because of numerous problems with this ANN and the ICO factor.
ICO's are NOT intended to provide funding for Proof of Concept projects... you are asking for people to trust you and there is no legitimate information about HOW you are going to achieve your claims on this announcement...
Sadly, this feels so scammy.. and there isnt even some malware riddled software for us to verify this easily in advance... People will probably get fooled by this project and be like "wtf mate?" down the road when thread is abandoned.
Hi and thanks for the feedback.
First of all, I appreciate critics, even if they are hard.
Your critics deserve some clarifications.
1) Nobody intended to be disrespectful or insulting by posting this ANN to the community. We chose to put the details of the project on our website, and today we have published a our manifest on Medium. You can chek it out
here .
2) We are not shady. We have our webisite and we put our face. Everything is trasparent. We hear the community feedback and we answer to questions.
3) There is nothing scammy. And if we don't proceed to Phase 2 people that bought our Packs will be refunded. It's clearly stated on the homepage and on the FAQ.
4) You are technically right when you point out the difference between cryptocurrency and digital token. However, most people doesn't understand the difference and for them a tradable value is a coin. As an entrepreneur I've learned that customer need simple messages. They can get more detailed information if they want, but for 99% of them things have to work, no matter how.
5) We don't have a fully developed service because we chose to follow a
lean approach. First test ideas, then validate, then build incrementally, then restart the process. If public support us, we'll be more than happy to carry on the development. Otherwise we are ready to reconsider the project and to pivot it. In any case, the customers will be protected (see point 2). This process usually results in great products and avoids to spend a lot of resources in weaker projects. Lean Startup motto is "Fail fast, succeed faster" after all.
6) 2 persons team. They are just the cofounders. We are gathering up a much bigger team. And we are already helped by some developers that work on my other startup Ecogriddy.
7) You say that we have no experience in blockchain projects: that's correct, however we have very good technical advisors that have experience in that field. And we are growing the team.
8-) We are perfectly fine if you or other people don't like our project. You are not obliged to back it, we let the market to decide.
Regards.
