so why a new presale? what happened to the 350btc they raised for ion? as i suspected they paid themselves with it and now its gone. all that btc created 1/2 a game. pretty dishonest for matlack being a man of god.
would be perhaps different if they had actual expenditures... why dont they work and pay a bounty from ion coins to themselves when they make something? plenty of those coins there... but nope they want your btc and want to give you some shit called dark matter. just a useless token with them trying to con you with a snazzy name. this whole week of adverts is designed to pull more btc. i dont think any of this advertised shit is actually available at present. api certainly isnt on their site.
Ok, let's recap.
Day 1:
https://news.ionomy.com/lightning/ - tournaments with prizes (Gravity leaderboard still broken), ability to buy in-game trinkets via ionomy website and avoid Apple/Google 30% cut (sounds kinda fishy but maybe they can stay under the radar, what with their 50 users).
Day 2:
https://news.ionomy.com/thunder/ - on-chain in-game currency (vaporware as of yet, they only have PNG tokens).
Day 3:
https://news.ionomy.com/jumpstart/ - crowdfunding (a bunch of buzzwords but pretty sure none of it actually exists).
Day 4:
https://news.ionomy.com/alchemy/ - web wallets (some more PNGs), masternode hosting for Dash (they could probably cook up a Dash VM pretty quickly if someone is willing to hand them the coins).
Day 5:
https://news.ionomy.com/spark/ - ad network (again a bunch of buzzwords, throwing stuff at the wall, etc).
Day 6:
https://news.ionomy.com/core/ - trying to make it sound like they have real developers, not very convincing given their history of broken shitcloning.
Day 7:
https://news.ionomy.com/darkmatter/ - oh, by the way, give us more money, cuz we pissed away xpybits funds and ICO funds and other money we asked for before (remember shark bragging how smart it was to sell BTC at $700).
I'm sure korvas will be stopping by to explain how all this makes perfect sense and fits with the grand vision but in reality it is a brazen money grab - and not the first one - with nothing to show for it.
The team is so comfortable in fleecing the flock that they don't even bother with details any more, like updating their roadmap:
