Thanks
To name a few:
- To begin with there was/is a very substantial discrepancy between what was conveyed very clearly prior to the ico and what was/is the real state of things de facto. Dev state lagged and lags behind greatly and release of the project suffered great delays despite clear indications to the contrary before they collected funds (yes, they knew their status beforehand and could have given correct honest estimations regarding their state of progress and readiness).
- Despite having more time than described as needed when they raised funds, they still released a completely broken product in which all the promised features are either missing still or just do not work. It is important to mention that even this late release was forced on them, otherwise they would probably be delaying this for an undefined period time.
- Despite delays and ambiguity which cause some unrest and doubt with investors, the heat team did not keep good communication with their investors and community and even kept a condescending righteous attitude. They chose to avoid answering questions they did not like regardless of their significance to their investors.
- This is supposed to be a decentralized project yet it is currently very much centralized.
- Commitments that are of fundamental and critical importance to investors where compromised or intended to be compromised from the side of the heat team. You can see several occasions for this (trying to avoid distributing coins that are due to investors who paid for them is a prominent example for such breech of agreement).
This is just a partial description of a very faulty negligent and suspicious behavior from the part of this project. I can honestly tell you that if this was known beforehand I would never have invested in this (as I am sure would be the case for many of the other investors).
Every person who sent funds to the project gave them his trust (along with his money). So far they have proven to be unworthy of such trust. They seem to lack the fundamental respect and humility when dealing with their investors, their funds, and the community involved.
I can assure you that the feelings I convey are not exclusive only to me, but are felt by many of the others who invested.
on a final note: It is true that StewieG behaves in a trollish manor on occasions , that probably helps to ignore him or dismiss what he says, but you should know to see the important details despite the circus he created. He did raise some valid questions and points along the way (some of which where also raised by me and where mostly unaddressed).
Man what a fail posting.
No one need an idiot like some trolls to know what's going on. Or you are an idiot. So here we are.
Heat posted a list they want to integrate into a blockchain in July 2016.
They raised money because people wanted that product. Full stop.
There was a delay. It's still ongoing. But the product will be long mot ready.
Were you thinking they are going to throw you the heat block chain ready infront of your shoes? Its deeeeevvvveeeelllloooopppmmment. Otherwise they would not raise money, they would just sell it.
The language and logic you chose to use here suggests me that you do struggle from some sort of mental disability, or just bad manors and foul personality, and i feel sorry for your condition.
I guess it is easier to label someone with trolling than trying to be an intelligent free thinking person.
This investment is far from my first and I know perfectly well how development works in this and other spheres. Trying to use this excuse time and time again to avoid accountability is a very weak attempt at best.
It strikes me that some people here (including such as yourself) are pretty much terrified from any words that might help create a bad image for this project, this probably comes from fear that it will damage their investment. This is also the reason they throw praise where praise is not due and try to silence those who find faults in the way this project is run and maintained.
They raised money under several false pretenses, otherwise if they where honest about the real state of things they would collect very little.
They knew perfectly well they are giving a false picture to encourage people to invest.
They had a very distinct inclination to brake previous (legally binding) commitments that where made when they made the ico to collect funds.
If all these points and more seem reasonable to you and acceptable, it is your right (some people are masochistic in nature), but is it also my right to demand answers and accountability when my money rests in the hands of those who currently do not deserve to keep it.
Have a safe and sound day in your padded room my friend.
