I'm sorry to break this to everyone that has already sent bitcoin to Numus but I am going to prove to you that this is a
scam!1.I looked though the guy above Duff-Man's posts, he has been involved in various website designs. He also started a thread the same time as this thread to discuss Numus giving lots of info but claiming he was nothing to do with the project but thought it was interesting. He was aggressive when Numus was criticized or compared to NXT.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=547545.02. Its seems he is a website designer who has worked on various projects that are legit like digital coins but he also has worked on a project with
ShimalH who is also on this thread cheering Nummus along and acting like he knows nothing. I encourage people to look through Duff-Mans posts and realize he uses almost the same style and logos on his work. I could give loads of links but here's just one example.
a. look for round logo below 'quick':
http://numus.org/#aboutb. Look for same on logo on his work here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=369985.msg3952297#msg3952297So above coinmarket project seemed if you look at the thread after trying to get investors dropped off the map Dec 2013.
3. So I conclude Duff-Man working with ShimalH (real or imaginary) has created nothing more than a well made website. The Whitepaper has no real tech knowledge and is just a bunch of promises and nice graphics. So I'm afraid this really is a scam, a quite elaborate one but a scam all the same. Even if the coin actually exists the owner is clearly a lying and deceptive guy with a history of well presented fake IPO's and is nothing more than a good website designer who probably is now wishing he has used some more variety in his logos and style, hehehe
I take Bitcoins for anyone who was going to invest and I have saved them some money and me being so awesome and all.

Yours Sincerely Sherlock Holmes.
I am not sure whether you are referring to Numus as a scam. If you are referring that Numus is a scam, well then we'd like to clear some things up for you with reference to your post.
1) Our website makes use of a Bootstrap 3 based design framework called Flat UI Pro made by Designmodo :
http://designmodo.com/flat/You may notice this from other websites such as Peercoin's website :
http://peercoin.net/ which also makes use of this design framework for their site. Many sites make use of this design framework which is why you may notice a similarity in style between say Numus' website and Peercoin's website.
2) We have made use of a popular voice-over artist named Brad Ziffer for the voice over in our video. He has done many recordings for other introductory videos and commercials and specializes in live script reading. This means he is able to sync his voice with checkpoints on video better than most voice-over artists, which in turn means he can read lines from the script provided to him at key points in a video all while maintaining a flowing rhythm to the voice-over. This is why you may have heard his voice elsewhere on other introductory videos. (We originally wanted to use Chris Rice (
www.ricevoice.com) from the WeUseCoins.com Bitcoin introductory video but he was booked)
Our whitepaper does provide some technical insight into Numus' features. We haven't gone into great detail simply as most readers of the whitepaper will want a simplified version of the inner workings of our features. Two of our philosophies at Numus are accessibility and simplicity, we want every reader of our whitepaper to be able to understand what we are trying to explain which is why it has been written the way which we did.
It's good to see criticism though, it allows us to show you that we are indeed not a scam.
