Topic: [ANN] [PRE-SALE 30% BONUS] MASS Token - Masternode And Staking Service - page 21. (Read 29225 times)

Granted answering the same question can become tedious after a while, but it's really par the course and we'll continue to do it for all those that might have missed the answers before.  Depending on who's answering, you'll get to recognize which personality is posting based on the tone pretty much.  Those who deal with yak daily for example know he's straight to the point and may come off as rude to some but he's really easy to do business with and that brand of blunt to me is valuable because it lets you know you're dealing with a straight shooter.  Me, I'm a bit more wordy and long-winded.  We're going to keep everyone updated though as we have anything worth posting.   We could be cowboys and charge forward, or responsible and tread carefully to ensure we're well within any potential compliance constraints and requirements.

all good, I can wait some more.  Just didn't know what the wait was for that's all.
Btw you get us on Bittrex, its a great exchange.

I didnt read that reply as snarky but as factual. Once Masstoken has news, it will be disseminated to the telegram/reddit/ann channel.

Until then the news is, we are waiting on legal advice.

I dont see the point of releasing a news update saying "there is no update"

I get that crypto moves fast, and everyone wants everything now. But the hold up is legal advice which isnt the teams fault and they cant do anything to move forward until they have taken sound advice for the futureproofing of this project.

The project is not a work in progress it pretty much ready to go once ico has finished. I think things will move really fast once these legal framework issues are solved to satisfaction.

To the MASS Reps:

I've been reading the comments/replies from the MASS reps and I have to tell you, the MASS rep responses are quite snarky and unbecoming of a representative.  Obviously, you're tired of answering the sale ole questions, but going forward you should act with more of a bedside manner and not with a "in-your-face" attitude.  I didn't request a refund because I like the project; however, this type of attitude that you demonstrate makes me wish I did.  What your comments to other tell me is that you're easily irritated and want the upper hand.  People spent money on this idea and so far MASS is the one having trouble.  Please don't say, "we have to wait on info so you have to wait." 

What is there to worry about? The funds are *STILL* sitting safe:

They haven't moved. We are still waiting on news, and until that time, you will still be waiting as well. Once we have news, you will have news. As has been stated now a number of times. We can't give you news if there isn't any. I don't know what part of that confuses some people.

Any update on the ico Dev? getting a bit worried here

That's correct.  The pre sale is over but their "might" be a second one.  The ICO was suppose to start around mid August but it looks like it might be delayed now.  We just need to wait for the official announcement from the team. 

Sorry for the noob questions but

i have missed the pre-sale but not the ICO is that correct?

If so when is the ico and what are the bonuses?

Looking forward to seeing this grow


cheers

I think the MASS team are waiting until they get the okay from the attorneys, then they will start the marketing process. 

I expect every day information about the possibility of participation in the bounty, but she does not exist (((

Some more news should be coming soonish as we get it, in the meanwhile we are just continuing to work.

Whats going on with this project? Continuing preico or what? Thx

The chat is for talking about anything, including anything MASS related, instead of dismissing it, perhaps try asking questions in there, where all of us are including  a much more informed 'community' than is to be found in this thread, as they were part of the "MASS community" well before the pre-sale and even this ANN post existed.


Why would the GitHub be redundant? That is where the contracts are located as well as any updates to the white paper. As far as it being 'only setup on the 6th of June' why would it have been set up before the project began?

As far as picking up the app from GitHub, that isn't how dapps really work, but the code for it will exist there for people to look at, since being that it is just JavaScript, it will obviously be open source.

Thank you. It wasn't that hard to say the backend is on schedule.

Your opinion that it's pointless to market now doesn't make sense, but fine. A suggestion I might make is that you could have twitter active embellishing the finer details of the white paper and potentially showing off some wireframes or linking to GitHub (which appears to be fairly empty). If you built a following for the product and some excitement about the ICO, you might find that it doesn't pass most investors by and leave you wondering why no one is queuing at the door to buy on the first day of the ICO. Unikoingold and EOS might be good examples to follow!

Love that it's my fault for not paying attention...I check my emails, the website, this forum, previously twitter and reddit nearly everyday. I visited Telegram a few days ago, but it was full of speculative chatter about investment theories.....I'm not interested in that. I'm interested in details and money. Money that has so far sat in this project doing nothing and looks to be doing nothing until early October at a minimum.

You don't have to make things up to provide updates. That much is fair comment. There is however a large amount of information that no one knows so far so I think it's a bit incorrect to say there is nothing to update on.

What does the web app look like, what coins are currently in the running for purchase, who from the team has been where doing what for the project? What is legal counsel saying? I hear it's just language changes? When will that be confirmed? When will you be closer to confirming product readiness and potential ICO start/end dates? What exchanges have you had contact you about listing MASS?

What is the story with GitHub? It was only setup on the 6th of June and shows the last update 2 days ago. Is it redundant now? I notice Neos coin and bittrex get a mention in there. Will we be picking up the app from GitHub?

That's quite a bit to not know!

Subscribing to the email newsletter and or telegram announce channel means you don't have to check here asking 'is there an update?', it will come to you.

Development has been going fine, backend is still on schedule to be done before the ICO, but depending on legals advice there may be some tweaks, same with the smart contracts, again this is rather beside the point since the ICO won't happen until everything is complete.

We aren't marketing right now because we don't have any dates set, so it is rather pointless and a huge waste of money, since all of that money is coming directly from our pockets, we would rather spend it wisely, which means spending it when we have firm dates and everything is ready.

If anyone in 'the community' feels we aren't communicating properly, they clearly aren't paying attention. Feel free to come and talk to us in Telegram, while you are at it see what the rest of 'the community' thinks.

Again, there will be no updates, until we have updates to give. We aren't going to just make up things.

If you update here, why would I need to subscribe to email or Telegram?

I thought there was something like $1.9mln of ETH raised through the pre-sale so far? I could be confused, but when you hold that much money after asking a community to contribute, it's not really ok to just say, there "no news" or "sit tight".

That wouldn't wash in any normal course of business or project, so I don't see why it should just because this is a token sale and ICO.

How has development of the product been going? Most other projects in this space provide regular developer updates or updates about what the team have been busy doing. I don't think there is any respectable project in crypto that doesn't have proper communications setup for it's community.

Although there is "no news", perhaps you could share some thoughts on why you would reel back on marketing and visibility rather than increasing it closer to the ICO? Why have twitter and slack chat been shut down? It doesn't make sense? Surely you would want more people to hype up the ICO?

Again, it is very much not cool to start crowd funding then decide that you don't really feel like communicating with contributors to the fund. Not unless you don't really care about the community funding the project.

Buck up your ideas and come back with some updates please!

You should subscribe to the mailing list where any updates will take place.

When there are updates they will be posted to that mailing list, as well as to the Telegram announce channel, and here. Until then that is the 'update'.

We are waiting on updates, and while waiting on that we continue to work on the project.

We can't communicate 'no news', so don't expect it. When there is, we will.

Forgive all the questions, but it's now mid-August and updates/communications are reducing instead of the expected opposite. With other channels of communication, marketing and transparency being closed down (twitter and slack chat) perhaps we could get some clarity on the MASS project here?

In the FAQ there was talk of getting the product ready before the ICO, which was aimed to start mid-August. Is there any update on the project (aside from legal or white hat hacker), ICO or any images of the web dapp or other products you can share please?

It seems like a step back and push back of original deadlines to restart pre-sales when we should be roughly a month out from the ICO ending (and thus people getting access to their currency).

As the MASS team have decided to restart pre-sales instead of moving to ICO as planned, are you going to offer further refund opportunities? It could be fair to say that although the FAQs on the website have changed recently, they did once say that this was not going to be a project that would suffer from unnecessary delays and go on indefinitely like others.

Perhaps some explanation as to why the legal issues are holding up the ICO but not pre-sales and why no marketing has taken place if more sales are needed to get the project off the ground?

It was open for a week and yes announcement was made.

2. because of the SEC ruling that is all. sit back and relax.

Nothing to be spooked about.

The fault with the wallet was parity. Ironically by attempting to give more security to users by using the multisig feature.

The team generously decided to offer refunds after this event as understandably some people might have got cold feet. However that refund window has now closed.

Now they are seeking legal advice in order to get their ducks in a row with the SEC before launching, I believe it is mostly just around the language used to describe the product rather than the "legality" of it.

The presale will reopen soon for the balance of Eth that remains to get to the original 10k planned, per overwhelming community request.

After that comes the ICO, and then working product.


Stick with it. you wont be disappointed. Or sell your tokens as soon as they hit the exchanges.
