Here's what my research into Kala and related companies have shown. They have a proven track record of making lots of people good returns for at least 6 months. That's as long as I have know about them. Please don't make and post false negative hypothetical assumptions about any company without throughout research. This is a sophisticated new technology to verify debit and credit card transactions. This isn't just a coin to put on the exchanges. They're not a public company and from what I read they don't plan on becoming one, so they're not regulated by the SEC. They have made money for both novice and sophisticated investors. Make sure you read all about NUI, Kala, Mintage, symatry and how the block chains and cryptos will be used for all types of businesses in the near future. You can even watch vidoes about large corporations going into block chain. Kala and NUI etc., are solutions providing for that market. So do your research and then make your decisions. There's several people I know who have made and are making money regularly with these companies. They appear to be more honest than the other around 90% of companies that I run into that are completely blatant scams.

Oh, thank goodness that a Real Truth Teller is finally here!  Cheesy

I had no clue what you were talking about, so I did a bit of research and determined you must be talking about this:

The MLM (multi-level-marketing) platform Nui Social is creator of a crypto-token called Kalacoin. I didn’t know about it until someone asked a question in the German local board if it’s a good investment. I did some research and I strongly believe that it's an MLM-Ponzi Scam.

Website: https://kalacoin.io/

Here is my evidence why I think it’s a very bad investment and you should consider to spend your money for something else:


Fraudulent involvement of the platform Nui Social

The CEO of Kalacoin (Darren Olayan) is also CEO of Nui Social, that’s not very clear when you visit the websites. The platform Nui Social is involved in fraudulent business, I’ll just quote some other articles about scam accusations against Nui / Kalacoin:

Kala Token – People-Powered Inherent Value Cryptocurrency ICO?

Quote
Kala Token Conclusion

The Kala Token website has a number of red flags. There are stock images of cheerful families playing on a beach. The company frequently mentions the fact that you can achieve “financial freedom” (i.e. get rich quick) through their system. It also seems like you can make money by referring other people to the platform. Plus, the website and whitepaper are filled with vague, flowery language. All of these things suggest you’re dealing with a multilevel marketing company.

Like most multilevel marketing companies, most participants in Kala Token’s ecosystem are unlikely going to make money. The vast majority will lose money – despite the company’s claims of helping you earn “financial freedom”.

Nui Social / Kalacoin offers fraudulent cloudmining contracts where it's not clear if they are actually mining:


Nui Starts New Kala Mining Crypto MLM After Cease & Desist Securities Fraud
Quote
In order to start mining Kala it is possible to do it purchasing mining hardware or via cloud mining. The cloud mining service would allow users to invest in Gigahash or Terahash contracts. According to the official press release, by paying a monthly service fee, users can see their Kala grow.

The GIgahash contracts promoted by the company start from $50 with $15 a month fee. Then, it is possible to purchase contracts of $100, with $30 monthly fee, $500 contract with $42 monthly fee, and $1,000 contract with $57 monthly fee.

However, there are even bigger offers for those interested in mining activities. The Terahash contract cost $4,000 with a $115 monthly fee.

Nevertheless, according to Behind MLM, this company is clearly fraudulent. The report mentions that the Gigahash contracts offered by the company pay a direct referral commission and also a team commission that is divided into ten different levels.

Nui / Kalacoin is regulated by the SEC and didn't register there

Additionally, Nui / Kalacoin is operated from the United States and that makes the business regulated by the SEC. There is an accusation against Nui and the CEO of Kalacoin that Kala cloudmining products are not registered by the SEC:

Kala Coin Network of Companies Banned by US Texas Securities Regulator
Quote
US Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) has issued an emergency “cease and desist” order against several Kala (KALA) cryptocurrency-related companies that had targeted Texans with misleading investment products like highly profitable mining rig or earning point in blockchain-based marketing platforms, TSSB said on Wednesday. All companies are linked to the owner of Kala cryptocurrency, Darren Olayan.

One of the revealed illegal activities was a Mintage Mining advertisement that claimed an annual reward from 180% to 250% if buying a mining device from the company. Mintage Mining is led by Wyatt McCullough, who is controlled by Olayan, according to the regulator. McCullough has claimed being a highly successful investor that had made “up 5,000% on [his] investment in 7 weeks and his uncle is up 4,000% in 10 weeks”, TSSB order revealed.

Marketing buzzwords - famous in Shitcoin-ICO business

Kalacoin claims the development of a new consensus algorithm called Proof of Effort – another useless Shitcoin promise

Proof of Effort – Kala makes cryptocurrency accessible to anyone with internet access with our unique way of “mining” through Proof of Effort.

Huge ecosystem with own overpriced products


Kalacoin offers various overpriced products for the believers in Kalacoin to make them rich (that's mentioned all the time that they will get rich)

- Kalacoin Miners to mine at home
- Kalacoin Cloudmining to get a share in Kalacoin mining
- host your Kalacoin Miners to save costs
- earn a big referral bonus if you refer other people and they invest money


Cloudmining with huge referral bonus - up to 10 levels.


The company where you can host Kalacoin Miners is called mintage mining. The CEO of Kalacoin and Nui Social, Darren Olayan, is also involved in Mintage Mining. Aaaand it’s also possible to purchase Kalacoin miners there. https://www.mintagemining.com/kala-rig



 
Another company involved in Kalacoin is Symatri LLC, also owned by the same people (CEO is Darren Olayan): https://symatri.com/

https://symatri.com/kala/





I stopped digging there, the overall impression of Kalacoin is very scammy, while the team is real but the rest are huge red flags:

- many scam accusations against Nui / Kalacoin
- related products are all operated by the same owners: Nui Social / Kalacoin / Mintage Mining
- promise of huge returns without proof of a working concept
- proven MLM structure with huge rewards if someone recruits other members and they invest
- informations on the websites are very surficial





For reference:

Kalacoin has also an Announcement thread on Bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2846471.0

But the account is probably not directly related to KALA / Nui:

Note : I am not the adm or devoloper. Just and independent NUI Social member that want to share the great opportunity (in my opinion) that this coin will be.


A couple other articles:

https://www.cryptoground.com/a/texas-authorities-fines-nui-social-over-securities-fraud-in-crypto-mining-space

https://aworkathomejobs.com/nui-social-review-is-this-really-legit-or-is-it-just-another-crypto-currency-scam

Sounds like another cheeseball crypto-based MLM company. It doesn't produce anything and all "income" is derived from the recruitment of new "investors." Seems like the scam has run its course already. Any particular reason you chose to start defending it now?
