Fridays update from AUGMENTORS team Dear Augmentors backers,
The Augmentors team has been hard at work and we have exciting news and important updates that we’d like to share.
The Augmentors creators and founders (Michael Deon and Kyle Haffenden) have realised that in order to achieve their vision for Augmentors they need to focus their attention on game creation. Realizing this, and in collaboration with the Augmentors advisors, they have brought a CEO on board to support and guide Augmentors to greatness.
We’re thrilled to announce that Gert Kruger (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gert-kruger-19b04b7/) has joined the Augmentors team as CEO. Gert has a technical and engineering background, and brings a wealth of business expertise. He is an avid gamer and we are very excited to have him on board. We’ll make sure that you get to know Gert a little better in the coming months.
The Augmentors white paper has been finalized and will be made available to you as soon as possible. The delay is due to a patent investigation that is currently underway to protect the value of the game, databits and the unique way that databits will be used in-game. Hopefully, this will be another world-first.
Following extensive market research, we’ve realised that Slack is not an appropriate gaming community channel and this Slack group is thus not where we will build our primary gaming audience. This channel serves as a medium of communication between ICO backers, databit holders and the Augmentors team.
Significant marketing progress has been made and we have a clearly defined target audience. To ensure that we get valuable and actionable feedback during Alpha we need our target audience to be our Alpha testers. We will build a community for Alpha (using Facebook) and will confirm an official Alpha date soon. We would love for all of you to get involved, if you don’t already, ‘like’ us on Facebook.
The Augmentors team is completely focused on producing a world-class, globally successful game. This in turn will create long-term value and growth for Augmentors and databits. We realise that some of our backers in this Slack community are short term traders and we would like to clarify our position on databits. We are not focused on the day to day price of databits nor on short term price hyping. We are focused on long-term value and hope you will join us for this exciting journey.
All long-term backers can add huge value in the coming months by helping us to promote the game. We know that you’re just as passionate about Augmentors as we are and we will need your help. We will call on willing backers for marketing and promotional support, watch this space for more details on how you can get involved.
Have a great weekend, keep battling!
The Augmentors Team |

So the target market is mainstream or the people in Facebook. I think the dev team should consider opening a bounty campaign on Facebook to attract would-be gamers.

I've heard the "we are focussed on code not on short term price" line many times, it always indicates devs are in denial about their lack of public relations expertise and are confused about the difference between necessary marketing and hype, dismissing people who critically point out their obvious deficiency as pump and dumpers. These guys are not crypto guys and it shows. The alpha will come and go and no one except a few people in Slack will ever know.

You first need game ready for players to test. Then you can give testers rewards for testing game. It is simple way to do it I hope team is aware hos EDS did with Spells of Genessis and kept a pile of active players that wee testing also after launch of game. But until then is useless. Only thing that can be done it to spread the word of the game and those pictures ad videos that exist. I am sure game wil be out for testing soon and I am also sure, team will have good plan to reward testers and hook them with the game. |

Nice update, FB is a good place to attract gamers.
Maybe you guys can advertise on some big gaming blogs or youtube channels too?
YouTube gamers have a very big audience!

Why are updates so rare? Slack is a closed group, not accessible by web searches.
Well for one thing, not much more value will flow from this forum to the Augmentors group. We served the purpose they needed from us which was to bankroll their idea. In the future, value will come from gamers that most likely do not know much about crypto. Being active here will no longer help them so what is the point? This actually seems pretty accurate in this situation. It's kind of like "we already have your money so fuck you. We could care less if your little 'tokens' become worthless since we got what we needed from you". |

We do value our backers that have supported us in our ICO and we value every bit of feedback they give. We have had many people trying to come onto our Slack channel and push scams through it, thus we have decided to make it invite-only. Saying such, everyone that participated in our ICO will be allowed access into the Slack channel. Please email me for access, ( kyle@augmentorsgame.com). We use our Slack channel to give ICO backers updates, please be sure to join the #announcements channel. We direct all our company/development updates through that channel. Once again we highly value our ICO backers and if you have any concerns please join the Slack channel by emailing me or you can email me your concerns if you do not want to join the Slack channel.

Keep it going and make that awesome game everyone is waiting for. |

Will this always be a counterparty asset or will there be a swap when game is released?
BTW blockexplorer shows 100M total supply so is wrong.

I think there will less scammers on the Slack chat room if the official dev team would exclusively just post announcements here. After all, this sub-forum is categorized as "Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Announcements (Altcoins)."

On my experience, all this things like " I think devs a quite because..." with no real reason from devs themselves - is a way to dead end. Couse no info = no life for Marketing project, no matter the code and technologies are awesome. If the have no specialists to talk - than they don't want to talk or don't know what to say. Both reasons are sad.
So im gonna sell all my DTBs as soon as it will be possible

I have contact Kyle to contact the links there, i will also contact them with correct supply. Thank you for noticing this. Coinmarket cap is the only one with the correct details and supply CORRECT SUPPLY IS 22,747,809 DTB with less than that available in the wild as approx 5m was kept by dev team for marketing. Speaking of marketing, hopefully Kyle can shed some more light on this, but they have a marketing team, thats for sure. Great!. Thanks. |

I belive they are not links to an explorer. The information at those links cannot be changed because the initial asset issuance was 100 million. By looking at the SENDS link you will find the burn address link with the amount burned. The math will yield the correct amount: https://xchain.io/address/1BURNmentorsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxwUtLJh |

Thanks The Augmentors Team You should be more open and post updates on various media channels including this forum, since DTB trading on exchanges there are many holders coming from exchanges, not from ICO. They all need to know what is happening behind the scenes and recent trend with slack rooms is getting annoying. Slack is for development teams, not a broadcast service to reach all auditory you need to reach. |

They will forever stay there and no one can access them. Counterparty asset platform since it base on Bitcoin blockchain is way more tested and secured then is Ethereum one. And it is hard to expect there will eve happen any of the almost monthly ETH flaws on it. |

Lets Sum up what has happened since end of ICO
ICO ended on 28th Feb 2017.
395 people took part in the ICO (all of which since seem to have left).
ICO collected 895 BTC worth nearly $1.1Million dollars at the time.
(correct me if i am wrong but i did not read or see if Team sold BTC, if they did not it would be worth, close to $4 Million today).
Since 28th Feb, almost 6 months (HALF A YEAR AGO)
The team that was active here and in Slack for about 3 months, (same time as the pump and dump happened) then started to be less and less communicative.
All that was released, was a closed and private Alpha Testing .... Now the team is pretty much Silent and the few $DTB investors that are left, must be feeling the weight of their bags. To go from being active, to being very unactive is not a good way to treat ICO investors and also new investors.
QUESTIONS:
Why are there very little updates now?
why have ICO investors been left in the Dark?
Why in 6 months have we not seen any other developments, no Roadmap, No whitepaper, No Alpha.
I feel the same way.The potential user base has in fact shrunk since ICO, rather than increased as a result of an obvious reluctance to engage. The last update said: "We are not focused on the day to day price of Databits nor on short term price hyping. We are focused on long-term value and hope you will join us for this exciting journey." In other words, they are confusing basic PR with hyping. This is naive and will result in exactly what they say they don't want: with little community engagement and marketing there is little interest in this project/game/coin, but interest and price will spike upon release of the game, resulting only in a hyped pump and dump. The way to avoid this is to have roadmap with clear and gradual milestones, and engage with the public through Twitter and other crypto/gaming social media on a daily basis. |

See my concerns above, updates are in slack. I would like team will use other media channels for updates. ICO investors should post their phone numbers? What does it mean "in the dark"? ICO finished more than 6 months ago. Tons of tokens changed hands. I believe alpha testing is not public because they need to protect business. A lot of "players" around. |
