So, waiting to hear from Soekip on here, is he involved in this investment group? Is he not? If so, who does official tweets for Blackcoin now, and other social media? Hopefully not investment group. If Soekip is involved, i would hope community would expect him to step down immediately from either group or representation of the coin.
Lets get some transparency here, who is right now running the official BC social media, and if so, are they involved with investment group?
This thread is becoming more ridiculous every day. Let's put the shoe on the other foot. How about we get some transparency from Iconic? I myself paid for a Blackcoin card. I want to know exactly how much of what I paid will be his personal profit. I honestly didn't care about this until today, but as you people are so dead set on transparency when it doesn't apply to you, let's go there.
I don't see where anyone has said that the Blackcoin Foundation will be taking a profit from donations.
A group of investors brought together = investment group. That is what the foundation is.
Iconic and the Foundation are exactly the same thing, just one is a singular person, the other is a group of people who have decided to work together.
Iconic will be taking some sort of profits from his Blackcoin Cards and no-one has kicked up a fuss about this (Why should they, people need to make a living too), yet when the Foundation pre-raise money for a venture and then ask for some donations which AFAIK will all go to the projects, they get shit for it from the same people making money off of donations simply over what? jealously? vying for control over a community owned resource?
What is to stop someone thinking that Iconic is in a position of solitary power due to all of the advertising work he is doing? Nothing. Anyone that steps forward and takes the mantle of responsibility onto themselves is going to be approached and followed by people in some way, it's just natural.
Iconic and Foundation are not the same thing. If Iconic says an assanine comment, that's Iconic being an ass. If the foundation makes an assanine comment as the foundation, it becomes an official comment of BC, similar to what Gritt made. As a foundation, they control the direction of BC. As an investment group, I would think it's priority is maximizing gains. I'm not a big fan of foundations, as I went through the WDC mess, but if we must have one, IMO, a foundation member should be someone like Soepkip, Rat4; someone who holds BC, but not a huge amount. There would not be a conflict of interest. Those who hold very large amounts of BC, currently in the foundation can maybe be called something different, something like BCIG, BlackCoin Investment Group. That way if someone makes an uncalled for statement, it's not seen as officially from BlackCoin itself.
