after following this thread for a few weeks its plain to see that about 6 people seem to have a real issue with this ion project and have put a lot of effort into trying to associate it with gaw, paycoin, scam etc.
there's a few unanswered questions from the ion team, but apart from that, this thread is just full of crap from these same 6 people.
its a shame because it means the ion team didnt spend much time to answer the questions as the point is, the people asking the questions dont seem to want to know the answers. any answers would be quickly buried with the same crap from the same 6 people.
in my opinion this project looks like an honest effort.
I'd rephrase that opinion to it looks like in your opinion this project looks like an effort. There is no honest. Honest implies transparency and answering of questions they have neither. When they answer questions such as the ones i posted and address the stats i put about potential masternodes then i'll give them more time of day.
There is nothing honest about premining coins making masternodes and trickle selling on the exchanges. You just invented free currency which you don't want that you convert to btc and usd to fill your pockets. You can sugar coat it with lies about increasing the platform but this fact stands.
Inventing free money and premining makes you exactly like the banking system... inventing free fiat when you feel like it.
nothing dishonest about this project has been discovered or reported. some have branded it a scam and seem to have an active interest in making the label stick, but with no evidence to support. saying something is a scam, does not make it a scam.
to me this looks like an honest effort at a new altcoin launch. the plan is interesting.
as to whether it will succeed is another matter.
Would you please explain why it looks like an honest effort?
The reason nothing dishonest has been discovered or reported is because they REFUSE to answer questions or provide transparency. I have asked half a dozen times where the extra staking power comes from for "electrifying" stakers only to be ignore all 6 times. How all of a sudden do you magically get extra staking power without already having that staking in existence? My conclusion is by putting the pre mine into Masternodes. How is that honest? Same shit as XPY, almost to a T. Did you consider XPY to be an honest operation.
Are we now just supposed to trust people in crypto because they say "just trust us"?. Are we not entitled to ha e questions answered? Especially with the track record of previous operations associated with the team? When they are asking for $500,000 to $1,000,000 of free money?
I really want to know what bring you to the conclusion that this is an honest operation. I want to see some facts. Them being "nice" does not qualify.
Do you also feel that a huge pre-mine with zero transparency is the "honest" way to launch a coin? XPY launched the exact same way...
after reading through a lot of crap, i found that this team did not launch XPY or paycoin even though you and others keep saying they did.
you should not trust this altcoin any more than you trust any other altcoin launch. but i see no reason to trust it any less either.
I never stated they started XPY or Paycoin, I stated they were involved in it which is 100% fact.
Say there was this bank with a horrible track record of misusing customer funds and they closed that bank and started a whole new bank. Would you give them the benefit of the doubt and give them your money?
Again, please state why you think it is an honest operation. Fee free to answer any of the other questions I posed to you as well.
involved can mean two things. as an investor or as a theif?
are you suggesting the ion team were theives or investors? it sounds like you are saying they were theives?
if they were theives, then name the theifs and the charges (by the law) of the fraud, scam, stole of monies? or are these charges just something you are inventing to support your story? i find no information about any ion team person getting arrested and charged with anything, its just fantasy.
if they were investors, who lost money, then why should this make everyone not trust them? did you never lose money? maybe you are more clever than every other investor. even so, this does not make you deserve trust. if anyone involved in this project lost money before, this means nothing about trust - or scam potential.
the information you are giving is wrong and makes it difficult to assess, its so much crap you are posting.
i found some of the ion team were investors in xpy/paycoin. what is the crime to be an investor in something that turns out to be a scam?
you also seem to say that "they" have a horrible track record about something, but this part i do not understand. from what i can see this is the first altcoin they have ever set up.
to me the effort looks honest. all claims that this is a scam by theives seem to be lies or information twisting from other coins which this team did not initiate.
you nor anyone else has provided any information or evidence to confirm that this team are theives or scammers. yet you still call them this, with no evidence. so you have other motives other than providing useful info.
