Agreed. Probably because they don't have it! 

Not sure why you would waste your time sorting through the slack channel when they can't even post something simple like info about their business registration here after they said that they would.

May have to hop into slack. I took a break from crypto in 2015 but came back to invest (Lisk, maybe Waves). I see ICOs are back with a vengeance. So I was reading through many of the ICO threads. Thanks for the info!

It's a very high risk venture.

The model is more interesting that many coins i've been involved in, the old XPY.io platform was nice to use so a new coin with a platform makes it at least more fun that just trading the waves on Bittrex.

I swapped my XPY for ION during the swap stage so i'll be here for a while. It can't be worse that XPY but as for putting in new money.... Don't invest more than you can afford to lose - if in doubt, wait a few weeks/months to see how things turn out.

There's a lot of details to be worked out (the coin isn't launched yet) but the basic model has been outlined, i like the whitepaper and the slack community is very active. I'd like to see more details though before i threw 100 BTC into it.

IMO the main risk is whether the model will work and whether their early games will be good enough to get the exposure needed for success.

I wish the team the best of luck with their project, i'm coming along for the ride and will assess as it unfolds over the coming months.

It's run by people either involved in the GAW scam or too stupid to realize it was a scam.

They claim the business is registered but it has been coming up on 40 hours since the OP said he would find out and inform us in this thread with the specifics to the company's registration, not sure how it takes so long for a legitimate business to prove they are registered.

It's up to you to figure out whether or not you think it's a scam or not.

So what did we determine on this coin? Is it a scam? legit?

Apple lets games give satoshi out etc from games ive seen like that sarutobi etc but they don't let you use your currency ingame. ALL currency must be apple paid through their store which is understandable. Why let people release free games use your platform and reach and give apple nothing take everything from them and profit direct to yourself without apple getting a cut.

So they are going to make profit .... how? By giving coin away. Apple won't let them sell coins for apple credit.

Makes me wonder what they spend all their time doing? Just white paper ideas etc. Doesn't seem to be any technical work. Just pie in the sky dreams they want others to create.

I would agree with this analysis. Very naive. They have an idea and need people to bank roll it. It's only an idea. There are a TON of details that have not been worked out. Very critics details at that. They don't even have the app stores worked out. They just say "there's another game in the Play Store that pays in satoshis. That is piss poor research. What about the Apple App Store? I could see them completely ignoring one platform.

This isn't gonna turn out well at all. Too many unknowns that they have no plan of attack for yet.

Is this scam coin

Isn't .25$ (500 bits) expensive for this coin.Lisk had price of 200 bits. Waves may get an ICO price greater than lisk but probably not more than ION.

Having hung out a little in the slack channel, my prior beliefs are pretty much confirmed. I don't believe they're scammers, and actually there appear to be some decent people (minniemouse notably excluded) in the 'community'. I wish to thank those that were reasonable and gave a warm welcome for making an effort.

However, Huey in particular comes across as a nice guy who is very naive with regards to how to run a legitimate business. Case in point, they considered an escrow for the ICO and somehow came to the conclusion that it wasn't necessary. Huey and his group of core leaders there totally overestimated the level of trust people would have in a brand new venture, let alone one that has links to something as dreadful as XPY. Likewise with the business registration. Matlack should as COO be right on top of that, and yet has failed, presumably because he's farmed it out to a third party to take care of and has just trusted that it would be done. Now that it's been proven to be a problem, he's made to look like an idiot.

There are also questions about how they will even get games into the iOS App Store in particular; Huey openly admitted this in the slack. Likewise how they reached the valuation of $0.25 per ion. The fact that things like that are apparently yet to be resolved when they are already taking people's money is again, disorganised and naive, and undermines the whole project.

All in all, while there are some good eggs (get it, Krumz), I just don't think this has legs. Sorry guys.

No, numb nuts, the booze & hookers make people feel good, unlike losing money on ICO's with fake details such as "we'Re a registered company, give us a million dollars".

BTW,  not that groundbreaking. Novel, perhaps, when seen as another vertical in an already saturated market, but not ground breaking.


So t'was a lie. No straight answer & still no registered company details.

No surprise.  If they were being honest it wouldn't have taken 24 hours and the Mr Coins mad PR skills to get an answer.

Sorry I didn't get past the second line on it. 

Also someone tried to contact me on Skype from this thread today, I think it was a team member. It was very interesting to say the least.

Better do a merge mine with these guys: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/riporipoffcoin-the-most-honest-scam-you-have-ever-seen-ninja-swap-coming-721006

Ya, Slack is the most ridiculous, information losing way possible to run an information channel for a new crypto coin. I can see it being useful in a business setting for group projects, but not for a main communication channel for a coin.

Ya, Huey is running the show there. It seemed like he had a few lieutenants but they were actuall rather cordial, Huey included. They seem to want to break down this "wall" / us vs them thing going on. But this definitely isn't the way to do it. They should come here and address things if there is an us bs them.

they are much more open to questions and hard ones at that, but Slack is a piss poor way of doing it. There is no categories/topics/threads to better find the answered questions. What's gonna happen is they're gonna get sick of answering the same questions over and over and over again and start to get pissy and drive even more people away. They need to be on a steady drip of Vallium to deal with this ICO, especially with their past history, on Sloack. Fuckin Slack. Really?

I believe such a spoon was giving you a basic program. Although it could actually be ionomy's source code as well so you can look into the claims... not quite sure at present.

another failed ICO eh? oh well, next one will come soon I am sure .What will it be this time

That's one of the many reasons why it's idiotic to use a chatroom to run what they pretend is a multimillion dollar business. Is Matlack the boss hanging out there too? But MrCoins says that's perfectly normal so what do I know.


Who needs luck when you have other people's money

yeah... it's not funny anymore because everyone keeps posting this.

Well, I gave them he benefit of the doubt and spent some time on their slack. They did their best to honestly answer the questions, but they didn't have all the answers. I gotta say, some of that crew are decent people and decent to talk with. Then comes along this minniemouse character telling me to fuck off and leave.  For a coin that need outside investors BAD that is a piss poor way to treat outsiders.

Do I think this coin is a scam? I don't think so. Do I think this coin has a chance at success? Not a chance in hell. Seems like some of the folks just want the community to be the 200 or so XPY die hards. Minniemouse: you can have your walled garden. I wouldn't touch this with someone else's 1,000 foot pole.

Good luck guys, you're gonna need a bunch of it.
