This is a scam of a different level and I want people to be due diligent before investing in this coin, as I believe almost ~30%of this coin is already in the hands of the devs.
Xcoin is a new coin for the coin creation service.

But guess what, their wallet never worked until the end of the first stage of the IPO.
The creators of the coin has already claimed to have successfully created many other coins, and its baffling to see why their own wallet didnt work until the first stage distribution is over.

To me this is because they want to get less attention from investors and can easily distribute the first stage distribution, (which is the largest in coin distribution amount, around 30% of the total coins)
among their near/dear ones or to their own sock puppet accounts.

I decided to risk some BTC anyway, after selling some of my coins at a loss in the exchange , and as per the PM from one of the OP, the ending time was last Sunday 12PM CST.
So I sent in 0.48823885BTC https://blockchain.info/tx/bdc85556f452d02c8480c7743c4b908944855f748ce7720b0bb35b46cfcb566a some 8 hours before the end of play on Sunday.

The OP I was dealing with confirmed my transaction and I was waiting for my coins.
Today the OP came back and told me that I am not part of the first stage distribution.

Initially they told me that I send the coins from a different timezone and by the time it reached them, the stage 1 was already over.
But after pointing out the OP's PM with the end time for Stage 1,
they were saying, the time when the OP checked the transactions, my coins were not there and they decided to end it earlier bla bla bla...
Basically they don't want another investor to share the 30% pond.

Consolation: They will put me 'first' for the second stage of the IPO, which is for 24% of the total coins.

So I asked for the refund, and at first they refunded
0.48BTC https://blockchain.info/tx/69b3d7039f27674469152f0a753bbf3b58472b597fc52fad26a3df2722b2ddb0
then on further prodding
another 0.008BTC https://blockchain.info/tx/55b557cc0fc8f565e33c48dfa8a263eeb45cba41849f2497e9c24c750db3db15
out of my total investment of 0.48823885BTC

I dont know what happend to the 0.00023885BTC, but I gave up on getting it back in the end.

So in the end, I lost a lot of my time, 0.00023885BTC and more in BTC as I had to rush selling some of my other alt coins at a loss to meet the non-existent deadline.

If I am correct, then they will try to aggressively market this coin now by throwing more free giveaways etc, as 30% of the total supply is already accounted for with them.

Note: Happy to provide more details about my conversations, transactions etc. if anyone needs to verify.

.0002 BTC is literally 10 cents, probably not a scam if they refunded you. Scammers dont refund.
My loss is not the main issue here. I lost 0.0002 and more on trading at loss to gather my coins, transaction fee etc,
The point is they want to control majority of the 30% distribution and the OP changed the end time as he wished to deny my stake, I felt.
Its like instamine or premine before the POS kicked in.

You will all be getting the coins, but you guys are failing to see the whole picture here  Cheesy
Everyone who invested in NXT got the coins, right? At least they stick to the rules in the OP and allowed everyone who paid in time ,to join the IPO.

I am sure some people will get it  Tongue

 Grin I am not funning you mate. I think its the OP of the XCoin thread who is funning you.

 I already told that my 0.00023885 BTC is not the problem you should be looking at.

Think about you buying some Xcoins as an investor and I want you to know that ~30% of the total coins is already with the devs,
(they say its with 10 people, but since they didnt allow me to join after following all the rules said in the OP, I believe, some of them are sock puppets of the devs)
so that they can dump them on you anytime and make your investment flushed down the toilet.


Also they promised 10% as free weekly giveaways by registering in their own forum.
What happend to that?The OP just keep changing the terms as it suits him/his beneficiaries.
Thats all I am trying to convey here.

I'll only say this one more time:

By the time you sent the coins the First Stage was aready closed. I had already sent a pm to our 10 investors with the results and the amount of xcoin they where going to receive. Furthermore, on the main thead it was written "End of First Stage" in big green letters.

I kindly told you It was already closed and that you could invest in the Second Stage. The rules are the rules.

I've noticed you must be new to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies since you don't know where the 0.0002 BTC missing went.

Finally, I kindly commend you to stop acting like a 8 year old kid.

This is the message I got from my friend, regarding the closing time, which is apparently sent by you on the same day.

http://postimg.org/image/s857jdiy9/

and my transaction is here, which is 8 hours ahead of 12PM CDT, which is the closing time.

You expect us to check the OP every minute, to see whether you have changed the rule and closed the IPCO?

You can fool some people all the time and all people some time but not all people all the time.  Wink

If you are going to a job interview and want to take the train at 12AM, you should be there not at 12AM or 12:01AM. Sometimes trains go even at 11:59:30.
Guess what the company tells you, if you say, that you missed the train, because you were barely on time?
Set up a new interview, be earlier on the train and shut up.

BTW: I got my coins.
and: how do you know, that you wouldn't get even more coins, because in the second stage are less investors?
