I am not trolling you, check all my responses to you and your buddies. I've been met with plenty of abuse, offence, attacks and pretty much outright rudeness. In response I feel I have not anywhere near responded in the way that I have been treated.
I disagree that you and your friends (i'm referring to the "us" you mentioned) feel able to permanently brand people.
There's special names for this type of behaviour in the real world.
Oh no, you poor little victim, do you need a safe space to retreat to?
I've heard there's one on Slack.
Out of interest, how's the ICO going, reeled in enough marks yet?
I don't care for me, I meet people like you in the real world everyday.
It's all the other victims that have been branded by your lot as "stupid" or "scammers" etc
The ICO is going great, with some thanks to all the publicity you guys are giving it on BCT!
Would be your worst nightmare for this to succeed, wouldn't it?
You meet people like me every day? I have the sense that's supposed to be an underhand jibe, some sort of slur against my person? not sure, never was too good at deciphering vague statements like this....
As to your second comment...well, there's no helping some people. If they don't have the critical thinking skills to either avoid getting taken for a ride, or to figure out that you should just cut your losses and walk away, rather than recreating a broken wheel and duping a load more people into taking on your rather expensive bag, then that's on them, ultimately.
Instead of saying it's going great, why not back that up with some evidence, you know, figures that can be verified...
Why would it be a nightmare if this succeeded? It'd be a shock, to be sure, but if people didn't actually lose money then that'd only be a good thing...
Unfortunately, with the number of huge red flags being thrown up, including (in fact especially) you being their most vocal mouth piece, I can't ever see that happening.
It's a novel vertical in an otherwise saturated market, but so far all the evidence suggests that it is ill thought through and is nothing more than an attempt to get peoples money into the hands of people who lost on xpy.
How's it going getting around the T&C that Apple impose, exactly?
