i hope they dont lie about the Q1 2017 timeline and tokens profits distribution
Iconomi has never said that the public launch of the ICNX platform would be Q1. Where did you get that information specifically?
Hmm...
Possibly an interesting point...
There is this, though
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5d2efz/i_am_tim_m_zagar_cofounder_of_iconomi_fund/da1dt2k/... you could read that as a Q4 2016 deadline, which wasn't reached. You could also try to give a generous interpretation, where it is worded in such a way that it doesn't explicitly state the fund would both be ready, and open to invest. However, I think it's safe to say that it strongly implies they are behind schedule already (despite what some around here protest)
Now, I'm not blaming them for being behind. Like people say, delays happen all the time, and Tim has explained their reasons.
So perhaps they didn't say Q1 2017. Perhaps they did. The above link shows they implied Q4 2016 though.
Also... Tim definitely did say there'd be a fiat gateway in Q1:

I do like your overall point though. Information gets confused, and spread around, and people start to believe things that were never said. But sometimes that info does have its reasons somewhere.
I would also contest that Q1 2017 has been flying around so much now, that somebody like Jani must have seen it, and had a chance to correct it. But he hasn't done so. He could say "It might be Q1, but it might take a bit longer", and I think it would be very useful if there was some official statement like that (rather than let people spread the rumour, and possibly be disappointed)
Of course, if they know for a fact it's nearly ready, then I understand the silence.
I think our noble moderator, Daparski, can agree that this isn't FUD
I welcome any alternative thoughts on the above. Try not to fanboy rage at me, though.
