I don't think anybody want to buy this coin after bounty scam. Yes they paid signature users, but they didn't pay a lot of blog writers even though they accepted works. First they decreased total blog prize pool (which is very big amount, worth +600.000 USD now), then they delay payments, then they denied some accepted blogs and then decided not to pay. You can see all evidences in this forum
*. If they were honest and paid blog bounties as promised I'm sure nobody would complain here.
The knowledge you have of the whole situation is limited, Let me give you a little insight into actually what happened. The whole blog article situation was triggered off after we realised an error in how the article bounty was presented. Article bounties should have been in the same payment structure as whitepaper translations and the main thread translation. We only noticed this after the bounty program was coming to an end, we had not finished counting of how many articles we received in when those who wrote articles starting suggesting they were the only ones who had participated and were in titled to the whole bounty allocated.
When then realised what was going on and moved fast to correct the error. Now I must admit that there is some blame on our part for not acting fast enough sooner as we introduced the article bounty last of and at last moment, we then decided to correct the issue further by handing up to 1000 - 2000 PPT for article bounties which we thought right. instead of handing out article bounties which should have been starting around 60 PPT per article. After all, translators did a lot more work but received far less. Everyone agreed to the new fee structure and have been paid since.
We initially decided to award everyone for their effort in the Populous bounty scheme regardless of how good or bad their articles were but then decided to review all articles subject to our initial criteria, we did this because we saw the greed in those whose copied and pasted content directly from our website and were demanding bounties. If we handled the article bounties bad that is our fault but to suggest we are scammers is totally without fact. We have archived messages from article bounty participants who have since been paid but still continue to spread FUD, those know themselves and we will soon publish private conversations between ourselves and them. This communications includes wallet address and proves they have received PPT.
