Ico services IS founded by Sean kirtz.
Sean kirtz founded clout and left with money

Scam

At least we'd have a platform eventually. Sean never really left. When he "left" he was under another name the whole time lurking the chat. He can't exactly head both a company that helps people raise ICO funds and a news/social site that is geared towards socially aggregated coin ratings that just might consist of those ICOs. Not on the surface, anyway.

How does this platform different from other social media platforms?

How does this platform different from other social media platforms?

The idea is basically to give ICOs and other crypto projects a place to talk about crypto, advertise it, and create content since Twitter/Facebook/Google are banning crypto ads and hiding/flagging social posts related to it.

They had an ICO, but they didn't hit their cap and maybe made a couple million which is only like a years budget in a very modest business then tried to launch it anyway. They paid like 200k for a HitBTC listing and however much they spent going to summits and buying booths with all of the convention shit and probably paid their own salaries after it ended as well. They also had quite a bit of internal drama with how the funds were managed recklessly like this (there are way more reputable and cheaper exchanges with more humans to list on than HitBTC) and rightfully so, so the CEO (Sean Kirtz) left but that's basically what this is now.

Tokens are very cheap now. They're struggling a bit with development and community. This would be a perfect project for a backend dev with ipfs knowledge to get a hold of because of the extra ICO tokens and cheap price. Most of these guys are just butt hurt because they paid $1 per coin in a failed ICO that costs a cent now on the market because 150k tokens got distributed in bounties before listing day, plus hitbtc bots and there is not much for a community.

And you find that à partnership with an other project created by Sean IS good ?

Sean knows that several guys wish follow her. With the régulation, WE should see this scammer in jail.

Remember: they told that they will refund pre investor..
They lie during several months.

They sold for 2,5 millions dollars. They spend on marketing (but who knows clout ? ). Why jen left the boat ? Why she didnt promote clout on her Facebook page  ?

WE Pay one dollar by clout. Now, it s /30?

Again, you're mad because you paid 1$ per token on a failed ICO that decided to launch without the proper funding or development during a gigantic market crash where eth alone lost over 50% value in 6 weeks. They only raised 200 BTC-ish at the maximum. HitBTC alone cost 20 of that when they could've listed like 6-7 exchanges with eth pair at 1/10 the cost (yobit is only 1 btc) plus HitBTC demanded 1m tokens on top of that. Your standard convention booth space rental can run $10000 just for the booth. The team is there and active, but they heard all of this a million times. The ICO price was insane. It should've been 5c-10c like a lot of the others. Dimcoin is like the lowest on HitBTC and they raised 14 million.

Neither have made the best business decisions by engaging the larger cryptocurrency community, but that don't necessarily mean that they are bad projects. They still have admins in the telegram. You can go and talk to Sean right now if you want, but if you're just going to sit there and bitch all day about the token price and telling everyone else that it's a scam is you will not help the price on your token holdings or your relationship with him and the team unless you don't hold the token anymore. If that is the case, you're just a hater at that point with the other haters in their echo box telegram circle jerking each other and bitching about people that aren't even involved anymore or bitching about people bitching about people that aren't even involved anymore.

The team don't communicate on bitcointalk either, but that's where everyone in crypto is. Like I said, if anyone reading this would like to get involved, not even buying tokens just asking the team for some dev bounties they've got hella coins left. just join their telegram and ask stef or gav what they need.

This should put the scam accusations to rest once and for all. The dude is American, public, and subject to securities law per the FTC. If he did legitimately scam, instead of this more plausible story then he's a bit screwed even under current law, no regulations needed. I seriously doubt that he would do that.

The 33-year-old native of Youngstown, Ohio began with cryptocurrency when his friend challenged him to do his own research on Google. “I was mad that he didn’t tell me everything,” on what to look for and where, says Kirtz. “There was not enough information in this space.”
In 2016, he started the Facebook group “Crypto Day Traders,” to close the education gap. From 200 to over 30,000 members in six months, Kirtz gained enough confidence to leverage his investor relationships with Clout Network the information hub for digital currency investing. “We launched a pre-ICO, and it was amazing until my partner backed out,” he says, on raising $2.5 Million for the Clout token which was worth $1.
Like many early crypto enthusiasts turned fund managers and consultants, Kirtz encountered legal issues. “The co-founder tried to blackmail me for funds, reporting the company was a scam.” Kirtz’s team shrunk to three employees (he started with twenty), with mainly legal staying on board.
Pivoting.
Determined to save the team, Kirtz made a strategic partnership with a seperate company he founded called ICO Services Inc. As the consulting arm for CLOUT, Kirtz pulls ICO clients and uses 25% of the profits to airdrop to token holders, and another 25% to cover operational costs.
Kirtz manages 5–6 projects at a time, and is scheduled to raise $260 million between ICOs. With focus on creative smart contracts, community engagement and marketing, the activity will only increase predicts Kirtz.
ICO Services Inc offers various services to deliver clients greater transparency. Multiple escrow service providers including TMF ensure that both buyers and sellers of say, Bitcoin are protected. Multi-signature wallets ensure multiple parties are disclosed during the transaction ensuring additional layers of security. Account systems with the option of hiring employees for the portfolio companies ensure compliance.
Equally important are community building and branding. “Typically, our clients have 5–10,000 users in Telegram,” the encrypted app adored by cryptocurrency and blockchain enthusiasts and investors, says Kirtz. The numbers are greater on Facebook: 20–50,000 total users. From these groups, advisers are selected and placed in exclusive telegram groups that have members with over $1 Million of digital currency investments. The benefit of being in the group is that “we can raise for example, $30 Million in 20 minutes,” announces Kirtz.

Coinmarketcal on the CLOUT platform

April 08, 2018

There have been numerous attempts to create a quality website listing events related to cryptocurrencies such as ; new token launches, team specific meetups, major developments on the platforms but none of them didn’t have long life.

The reasons for lack of success lie in many factors, but most often, the reliance on a single user who actively maintains and supports these sites is the common point of failure. At one point, the person who maintains the website of the listings loses interest, has no time or has other reasons to stop holding the updates and things start to tumble us.

Coinmarketcal has successfully produced a comprehensive website encompassing all of the above. There is a calendar of cryptocurrency events run by the community.

The success behind this new calendar of cryptocurrency events is due to the fact that it’s maintained by the community instead of one single person. Visitors are people who can not only explore the available events, but also add events (give evidence) and their submissions are validated using a voting system (users also validate events discarding false news). Coinmarketcal has been in many screens since its launch, from telegram groups to crypto specific shared calendars.

The partnership between Coinmarketcal and CLOUT ables our users to see all the events of Coinmarketcal on the CLOUT platform. This special addition into the CLOUT platform will increase awareness for all our users by adding another powerful tool of research into one’s arsenal.

Stay tuned for more announcements which we have planned and join now to our telegram group https://t.me/clout_io

i think the team has more to be blamed for, first is before paying so much money on listing in an exchange that rarely gives good volume of trading, it should have been a community decision, make a pool on what exchange to list on, alot of members on telegram clearly stated their dislike for hitbtc but the team still went ahead anyways with such high amount for listing.

Any investor bitching about price and the state of Clout now can not entirely be blamed, nobody wants to see their investment down the toilet especially when there isn't much  activities on ground to give project the solid backing it deserve. Lack of dedication to the true course will surely result to great lose, now investors will pay the price. Too many question mark?

No chance, even someone has taken pains to get listed on IDEX but the lifeline of CLOUT continues to decline. I believe sooner or later CLOUT token really will not be worth anymore. What a disappointing project.

When you read their telegram, you see same message all day:" we are working.."
Truth is that sean kirtz disappeared and with the regulation, he knows he will have big problems.

They sold only 2,5 millions tokens on 100 millions. They burn any tokens. They have 97 000 000 for the team.

Have not they done this yet?  I do not like this attitude. It's not good to focus such a large percentage in one place. Why they keep it. I think that they must have specific answers to this, otherwise it's not serious.

[nightandday]

This project is a scam which is run by a scammer. If you lost money in this scam ICO, I suggest you seek recourse.

But wait! There is more!

Apparently, hes been giving away YOUR ETH!

Please do your research. Avoid "used car salesmen" types. Don't buy into ICOs where people have 0 industry experience.
