[PRE-ANN] Stone - DAG Data-Structured Private Cryptocurrency

[spookycoin4u]

Still have not received tokens.

Felixando, why are you not asking for help in any of this? You should be coding, why are you focusing token distribution (which idk why is taking so long, if you just use your donation list + your inbox should take like a few days at most).

Getting a testnet out should be the priority. You are not talking about your progress on the project. You have not talked about the issues you're solving, anything about wallets or status of your code. As a donator and supporter of this project, I am asking you to focus on the implementation and just forget about everything else.

Give us an update on your zksnarks coding, or what you're changing on top of the Nano code base. Jesus, ANYTHING else besides fucking distribution, which should not have even been tackled at this stage. Again why are you trying to one man this entire operation when any sensible project would be utilizing a team. You dont need to be a company, but come on just allow people to help with other things. I'm a developer, i would love to be able to inspect this project and assist if possible. You need unit tests? i'll fucking do that just to see this.

You got people signed up for a testnet, why have you not addressed this for more than a week? If this is a legit project, end this by producing results.

I think the lack of a response to the questions being raised and a failed attempt at distributing tokens is a clear indication which way this project is going. I've pretty much excepted to myself that this is a scam now in my own mind. And even if it isn't a scam, this is a piss poor way to run a project. Can anyone chime in as to what the best steps are to start doing searching/reporting/identifying?

https://etherscan.io/address/0x97781557e1a22e946d7ab48744e1958417d0c3b2

As we can see looks like only a handful of wallets getting sent out every day with no activity for the last few days. Finds time to post about a coin burn, can't find time to get tokens out.

Drag out the token distribution.

Keep shilling in this thread with his various sock puppet accounts.

Induce some fomo with fake news like a supposed Binance application.

Hope some fucking noob buys his scam ERC20 tokens.

Eventually scam comes to an end.

Start a new scam by riding on the coat tails of some other project by bringing it "privacy" features.

He's been doing this since the Zion Scam when he wanted to do a Monero Classic.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Who is he? this Dave guy? I'm new to the forums. Only picked this up via a random reddit post. If you think this is the same guy, can you provide any further info? Full name, current country of residence etc. Btw I'd rather warn other people off from this project totally and lose my own initial investment then try to claw any back selling this on ED. If by some miracle I do get my tokens, I'll be sitting on them until they are either a confirmed scam with no activity. Then just leave them to rot in my wallet, or until some actual work has been done to show us anything resembling a working concept. Or if Felix wants to start refunding people as he has clearly failed on the points he did promise.



Work Ethics


What i can promise you

Dedication- Nope, no proof of any work done at all and not even a successful token distribution
Constant updates Nope, hardly any relevant updates.
a finished product I'll amber this as it's unlikely due to promised testnet start pre end of donation period.
a quality product delivered in a timely manner Nope, hasn't stuck to any timelines to the points he has comited too


What i cannot promise you


Exchange listings States Bianance listing
Price increases Value has dropped if anything due to lack of work or updates on this project. With token going for -90% donation value
Advertisingstated appointing social media team/member. Never happened
False hype This is literally all this thread contains
An unfinished product, i always complete a project. This project hasn't even started.

Even though the funds raised where donations, I still consider these being raised in an insincere or fraudulent way due to the total lack of any evidence to the contrary.

Hello community


yet another 15% of Stone has been distributed, due to having completed the distribution audit yesterday, distribution should speed up vastly from here on out! Apologies all for the delay.



Whilst i'm here, can i ask everyone's thoughts on a coin burn to reduce supply? halving the amount distributed to BTC holders & XRB Holders, this would account for a nearly 40% supply burn, i'd like to see your thoughts on how a reduced coin supply would positively impact the Stone's path in the future. Myself i am neutral on the idea, please do not be afraid to leave your detailed speculation.



Thank you all for supporting Stone and being patient whilst distribution takes place, once this is out of the way it will be full attention on code again.

I was not one of the conteplated yet...  I dont know the criteria but I am very early donor by the list. Must be coming soon.

I think they are being done in the order that you sent your eth address and txids. How soon after he announced that the eth address was required did you send yours? That should give you some idea of when to expect. There is still about 27 million to be distributed.

Well, you can look at the donors list... I am surely im between the first 15%... did not get my tokens yet. Starting to smell bad for me.

I'm replying to you again because I think you may have missed it. felixando asked everyone who has donated and already send a message to him with the txid to now send him a new message with the amount, txid and an ether address to send the tokens to. It is the order if that second message that he is working from, NOT the original donors list. It doesn't matter if you were the very first donor, if you sent your second message last, you will be the last to receive. Hopefully that is clear.

So I have no idea were I am at the order. But this is taking too much time already, its strange.

[Alohaboy?!]

Can everybody please stop writing in such a big manner. Its annoying. The Listing request was discussed by felixando days if not weeks ago. Please do some research.

A HEROMEMBER WOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS A SCAM.

WHICH MAKES ME THINK THAT YOU'RE IN ON THIS SCAM.

HELLO SOCK PUPPET ACCOUNT OF DAVE WILKINSON THE SCAMMER

YOU DO REALIZE THAT THESE THINGS ARE NOW GETTING THE ATTENTION OF THE VARIOUS CYBERUNIT DIVISONS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES.

ONLY A MATTER OF TIME NOW DAVE.

 

I still don't get where all this hate and FUD is coming from. If you don't like the project just leave.

people have explained where the hate and fud is coming from. the reason is to inform new people that will view this thread. and since that is the reason, it would be counterproductive to just up and leave.

and again. there is no collective group of people that are warning people. this is just a bunch of different people that have opinions about this project, a lot of the opinions overlap but this does not mean we are working together on some great strategy. there is just a lot here that smells like poo and a bunch of people may have stepped in the poo. so some people are standing here taking time out of our day to warn people about the poo that is right there on the sidewalk. what kind of poo is it? what kind of creature placed the poo there?

this smelled like poo at the beginning of the thread and it smells more and more ripe the further you read on.

could still be a legit project.

the newcomer to this project are fair to go to read through the thread and get their own opinion.

It sure is starting to feel more and more like we all got scammed.

I tried to tell you guys multiple times that this was a scam, nope don't listen to common sense.

maybe all who invested are fine with losing it if necessary?

[n0rd]

Been following this for a while, but was on holiday.
So it seems that everything is not as it seems?

Are there still people waiting for their tokens?

Hey Felixandro, you should try this, looks serious and credible af:

p.s - this project is also one guy. It seens that report on the work beign done is not a delay when there is actual work beign done.

bleh.. sux.. sorry to hear that.
I truly hope everything will work out for the best.

I really like this project.

[neutronwave]

I think this project will work out.

Youre delusional bud, this project is a scam.

For what it's worth...

Felixando, this is the PM I sent you on 19 February.

================================

Good afternoon, Felixando.

I see that you have started distributing ERC-20 tokens.

I donated twice to the STONE project.  The transaction IDs and MyEthWallet are below.  Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you.

We've got more chance of getting a BJ from scarlett johansson then any kind of return at this point.
