Hello, all.
It's been a busy week. I heard that my name was mentioned on this thread, but I hadn't had a chance to respond to it in a timely fashion.
To clarify my involvement, everything
I wrote in my blog post was true, at least to the extent that I understood things from the perspective of a vendor with a severed relationship and limited insight into bitqyck's inner workings without me.
About two months ago, one of the founders of bitqyck reached out to me on a technical matter (unrelated to cryptocurrency) and expressed a desire to address several of the issues I raised in my blog post as well as other technical questions that are starting to arise during the day-to-day operations of the company.
About a month into periodic discussions, we engaged in a contractual relationship in which I've served as a technical consultant (via
my agency) on several initiatives, including interacting with public exchanges, helping craft technically accurate sales verbiage, and general matchmaking between other clients of mine in the local startup community.
When we engaged, I told them I'd be happy to lend a hand and work in the background. I'd even be happy to act once again as a spokesperson of the token again if they'd agree to an independent legal and technical review of the solidity code for the ERC-20 token. This is a process that is still underway. I don't have any doubt, given my ongoing interactions with the founders and the new management team, that their intentions are to build a sustainable company and to break new technical boundaries in the process.
As I talked about in my blog post, what drew me to this project was their willingness to apply theoretical concepts of the Digital Autonomous Organization as a practical matter. Given the state of blockchain right now, it's not something that could (or should) be done in one leap. The original architecture and token roadmap I worked with the founding team is still the current roadmap. One of my goals in working with them over the next few weeks and months is to help them document and share that roadmap publicly.
I hope this clarifies things. I understand the reticence of the geek community to embrace anything that remotely sounds like network marketing, but for what it's worth, to me the core team involved with the bitqy token have demonstrated an earnest desire to do things the right way.
By way of disclosure: I still own no bitqy, and my company is paid in plain ol' US fiat for my work with bitqyck. I told them I'd accept Bitcoin, but given the bull run it's on this month, I'm guessing they're wanting to HODL.
