another IPO, find an escrow ,then let's talk about that.
helloge,
Honestly man, I tried to go that route but the options were too expensive for us. We're just a group of coders, not investors nor wealthy at that. The quotes I got for ICO/IPO escrow were well beyond our reach for any reputable person/entity. That's why I'm keeping everything as public and transparent as humanly possible. I wouldn't try to convince you to buy into something you weren't completely comfortable with anyway. We've all been around and we've all been burnt plenty of times. So with that being said, I don't blame you. If this IPO is successful, it'll allow for the funding of hosting, other development, marketing, licensing for some ideas we have for the wallet in addition, design and so forth. If not, we'll definitely just try to make due with what we've got until the coins we mine alongside everyone else can be traded up and then used in turn for everything.
Sincerely,
syntaks
If you won't use an escrow, I can't invest. Almost every time that a dev won't use escrow it is because he doesn't like the fact that he doesn't have access to that BTC lol.
Escrow services are not that expensive, and they could be paid for as an expense so you aren't even the one paying for it in the end. It's just one of the development costs.
If you had a real project of this size, you would be begging for an escrow, because you would know that it would get YOU 10 times as many investors.
Also, you don't have any reputation to speak of, so Im not sure what you are getting at there either.
And last but not least, every time a wallet is supposed to have an exchange hooked to it, it is a scam.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE, IF YOU WERE GOING TO DELIVER, YOU WOULD HAVE AN ESCROW.
THIS IS VERY LIKELY A SCAM, AS IT HAS ALL THE TELL TALE SIGNS.
On top of that, your response above couldn't raise any more red flags.
How many times have I said throughout this thread I wasn't trying to force anyone to invest? The several folks I spoke with wanted a % of the IPO upfront in return for escrow services. Secondly, a project of this size - I've lead projects multitudes bigger and escrow doesn't necessarily instill confidence in the *end product* itself. Regarding my reputation, with you, perhaps. Should I go into a list of the countless number of coins that were broken that I played ghost mechanic for? Not even for you. The ones I have if they choose to come outright and say it have the option to do so but I either asked or agreed to remain silent about it. Plain and simple - you don't define nor dictate the terms on which something is considered illegitimate. What "tell tale" signs does this project have of being a scam?
Lastly, I'm a bit concerned with your capability to really give a clear, true overall opinion if you think it's that difficulty to utilize an exchange's API to tie into a piece of software. I mean, that's what the API is there for, isn't it? Unless you misread, or maybe didn't even read the entire post and assumed I wrote an entire exchange of sorts into the wallet interface itself? Let me clear that up for ya buddy - I didn't invent "Bittrex" - they've been around for a bit. Go check them out - bittrex.com.
My response was something I seldom see - 100% honesty. I rarely feed trolls, but you seemed so hungry I couldn't help but throw a few hunks of bread over the bridge.
You're welcome,
