I've been far too busy to reply, but I wanted to say that I think that this post is probably the best in this entire thread. I can start off by saying that I have invested a small amount in the crowdfunding, but I am sure that others have chosen to stay away, not only by the competition, but the uncertainty of the NXT and Ardor platforms, the complexity of the project and the lack of clarity - eg lots of buzzwords in the white paper without clear goals and deliverables. I have noticed a lot of cheerleading and to the moon(TM) as any other ICO thread, but that comes off almost silly rather than building confidence in the team or the project.
I am happy for the Janus teams honesty and willing to answer questions and clear out uncertainties. The post above strengthens my image of the team trying to do the right things despite the lack of 1000's of BTC funded as we have seen in other ICOs.
I did not intend of making this post sound negative, but I would rather state that I appreciate the team's efforts and openness in the ongoing campaign. Whether the ICO brings in millions or thousands, I'm sure we all can look forward to exciting technologies, especially the Social Fintech platform looks intriguing. Good Luck in the continuity of the ICO, I'm looking forward to what the Janus team can achieve!
Good feedback, Mr 110110101. Just for full disclosure: I'm a member of the Nxt Foundation, and thus acting as escrow for the Janus ICO. So, i'm going to restrict myself to commenting on the line in bold: uncertainty of Nxt and Ardor. You guys can then judge Janus on its own merits, without having to worry about the platform that it uses. Nxt has been running, almost faultlessly , for 3 years now. It is one of the most stable, well-established and feature-rich crypto-currency/blockchain systems in existence, and is not going away any time soon. Even after Ardor is launched, in mid-2017 (ish), Nxt will continue to run and be supprted by the core dev team. There is no real uncertainty about Nxt, not after 3 years. Ardor is more speculative, but it will be based on proven Nxt technology, created by the same dev team, and supported by the same community as Nxt itself. The crypto world has seen how completely dedicated we are to these projects, so have some faith in our ability to deliver. Nxt has a very solid track record. |

I'm a co-owner of Moneypot.com and as such have maintained frequent contact with the team behind Janus over the last year.
I've been following their Janus project for quite a while and am thoroughly impressed with all the ideas they are bringing forward. I wish I could talk more about the actual projects within the Janus concept, but I don't believe it's my place and don't think I could do it proper justice.
----------------------
However, I believe that the decision whether or not to invest in Janus comes down to this: Can we believe and trust in the Janus team to do the hard work and planning to make the project a success?
I wholeheartedly believe YES.
----------------------
This is NOT some project based off of hype, the latest fad, or an attempt to get rich fast.
This is a solid project backed by a solid team.
----------------------
You are being presented a rare opportunity in my mind. If you are interested, ask the hard questions that you want answered before deciding. Be smart with it and get answers that aren't just "Moon!".
They have put in the long and hard hours for preparation. They have the plans properly in place and they know how to achieve the goals that they have mapped out.
There are plenty of investment opportunities in crypto-land. It's hard to sift through all the garbage, shit-coins, scams, and inexperienced teams to find good projects.
With Janus, you have something you can believe and have faith in. By investing, you are deciding to invest in a team that knows what they are doing.
---------------------
I fully endorse the Janus project and wish the team the best of success!
Hello Dogedigital, It's hard to follow this up, but I personally consider this the highest praise one business owner to another can state. Thank you sincerely for your words, I feel you are exemplary and a great role model in your work and business. We hope people see how important it is to support real business innovators, and see that the Janus project will become the last investment of 2016 worthy of your time and money. In return we promise to do everything in our power to not only make it a positive roi, but also a positive investor/business owner experience. If that means Janusdev has a huge dinner party for all our investors at his house then so be it. You may not see us shaking hands with Roger Ver, Vitalik Buterin or other recognized blockchain leader but we assure you in global business we are going to be well known and a model of strong ethics and success. This has been years in the making and a good funding will give the finances necessary to execute it all much quicker. |

Thank you Evildave, this is precisely why we chose the Nxt platform as our needs require a long standing, secure, stable platform for Janus token owners. |

Perhaps, people just want to see a few more details. We have made public our past history in non blockchain business, and have a long standing advertised business in blockchain right in bitcointalk for viewing. I believe when we reveal and condense the business model/plans/monetize structure in depth (within the next week), and then the final interviews are posted almost every question possible will be answered. After that it's really just up to this investor community and some others to decide if they will be a part of the Janus holding company profit sharing or not. We are going mainstream and launching our sites regardless of the funding aspect, it's really just up to everyone here if they want to benefit from our work or not. Your investments speed up the process, but funded or not we'll continue working. Follow us on twitter if you like https://twitter.com/Janus_Token/status/802904887180881920 |

What is the minimum investment threshold? For example, you have collected only 100 Bitcoins, ICO period will be prolonged by? |

In the event we collect less than 50 BTC we'll close the project and refund then continue as we have. If at sale end, 300 or less BTC is purchased than we would have to just push timelines for business launches back some. The less we receive just adds more time to launches, if a startup isn't funded properly then it means we have less resources to push marketing and hiring extra developers. We have the token sale capped at 7k BTC to prevent over funding, the closer the sale gets to that mark the better our market delivery and timing will become. |

Thank you, that my questions are not left unanswered. I hope you will manage to implement planned. |

I invested in Janus but I think it's because your team and project is great. I don't see you guys getting much support from the nxt community is there issues? If you had chose waves or ethereum they actually support teams with real projects like Janus have you considered offering on multiple blockchain? Maybe if you talk to incent team there is some chance to work together. You provide the business they give the user incentives. I don't want to see a great project die over something simple like what blockchain you chose.
