My view is that people who already asked for a refund of escrow may have done so after they knew it was a scam but before they knew about NFDv2, so should be allowed to re-invest their original investment. They shouldn't get their NFDv2 coins for free though; their investment should be put into the slush fund.
That's something we can talk about - but, given the compensation part, it would be fair to the bilked for the escrow-return cases to send in the same amount of BTC that they would have spent had the original project been legitimate and launched.
But now we have a tricky issue...what about the BTC that's thrown into the new project? My own inclination is towards using it as a bounty fund to hire professional Nxt-experienced programmers to add new features to NFDv2. It'd be great if NFD2 launched as a better coin than the original NFD!
If this idea is acceptable, I'd be more than willing to keep the BTC under escrow - not to be released until the programmer(s) come up with features that are finished, work, and are field-tested.
If this upsets anyone who was prudent enough to use Anon136 and save their funds, please remember that your money will go exclusively towards making NFDv2 a premium coin - and that the decision is entirely yours! If you'd rather keep your funds, that's okay: you'll just be taken off the allocation list.
I have no problem at all with an escrow arrangement. I don't want access to a single satoshi because I'm doing this for free. Yep, I'm that ticked off.
