Need I remind you that it was you, Dollux and Aztec who engaged us in debate and I on behalf of my team have responded each time, with well thought out and clear reasoning.
As you put it, if someone mentions me in a post, should I not respond?
Since you mentioned me,
Let's engage , shall we.
Exactly why do you need 40% , which including your own personal accounts would give you and so called team ,
over
51% of the new sprouts coin, IE: Total Control
Plus if anyone swaps with you for your new coins , are you going to immediately sell all of the old sprouts crashing it and gleaming yourselves the pittance it would bring.
Since you are a newbie , are you or any of your team linking to your real names or previous developed coins to inspire trust.
What Block Explorer will you be using?
What exchanges have you contact to trade your new coin on?
(And what were their replies?)╥Aztek
Hello Aztec,
Apart from the continued aspersions and accusations, great questions,
1)
You've suggested that we, the dev team will after the swap, hold 51%. I'm not sure where you sourced that info from? but as you have no way of knowing how many Sprouts we each currently hold, it's unlikely you can claim we will hold 51%. So, this is a baseless accusation...
For your information and everyone else's, we will not hold 51% of the total supply, not even close to it.
None of us are big fish, in the Sprouts ocean.
Rather than retype all that has been said regarding your question "Exactly why do you need 40%", it would be considerably less frustrating (for me) if you'd read through the posts on the forum.
Here is the direct link to the discussion on same
https://sprouts.community/t/major-update-premining-sprouts-and-roadmap-estimations/4092)
We are still discussing amongst ourselves (dev team) which way we will handle the swapped Sprouts coins. I'm not sure when you say "gleaming yourselves the pittance it would bring" whether you're suggesting we'll be able to sell the Sprouts coins for lots of money or that they're worth pittance, which usually means, very little.
Either way, we have not yet decided and so I cannot give you a straight answer, sorry.
3)
While most of our team are, and only ever have been crypto investors, our senior crypto devs are part of a global business that specialises in the development of blockchian technologies and apps.
I am happy to ask them if they will allow me to publish the name of their business. Obviously you understand, I can't do so without their permission.
4)
We have not yet finalised which explorer we will use, whether we stick with cryptoid.info, use another or build our own.
5)
We have not yet contacted any exchanges as we are still in the middle of a community vote regarding which currency we will clone to build Sprouts+ and the choice of which exchanges, will depend in part, on the outcome of the community vote which ends on the 31st of this month.
The three contenders are:
a) Ethereum clone
b) PeerCoin clone
c) X - any the community would like to see used as long as it meets with the requirements of our crypto devs capabilities and licensing, etc.
6)
"Oogone is in conversation with another dev to make the changes to the original sprouts without paying the 40% scam fee you are charging ,
so why in the world would anyone pick your way with a 40% penalty fee and granting your team total control over the coin verses someone else that is willing to just make the needed code changes?"
Once again, you've worded your question erroneously and made accusations that are not true however, to answer the overall question of why:
Here are four reasons;
- Because we are a core team of eight, three of whom own our own businesses or companies, one of which (the business) specialises in blockchain technology. We already have gained a great deal of experience between us relating to the successful operation of an organisation and understand what it takes to be successful from not only a financial perspective but also a cultural one
- We are not simply aiming to keep Sprouts alive in our spare time, we are planning to turn Sprouts+ into a global organisation with contracts connecting many thousands of real, profit and not for profit organisations
- We plan to quit our day jobs when possible and in one or two cases, will close down existing businesses in order to focus our full attention on ensuring Sprouts+ is a success
- Most importantly, because in spite of a few casting aspersions and baseless accusations, we have remained professional and have provided well thought out, reasonable responses to same. Which, speaks volumes about how the development team will not only conduct themselves, but also the currency and associated organisation they are responsible for
Clarifications of your answers
1. You Claimed there is no way for the community to know if you have 51% or not, so the assumption is false. * In Truth, you claim 8 members needing only 11% combined in conjunction with the 40% to reach 51%, by claiming the assumption was false you just indicated you personally know the exact balance of every team member, which is in and of itself very odd, meaning none of you personally own any sprouts or you are lying about knowing the others amounts. Either way , not a good sign.
2. Unable to answer at this time. 3. Unable to answer at this time. 4. Unable to answer at this time. 5. Unable to answer at this time. * Does not inspire confidence, funny your team knew almost immediately they needed 40%, yet these other simple things have yet to be worked out. *
6. We plan to quit our day jobs when possible and in one or two cases, will close down existing businesses in order to focus our full attention on ensuring Sprouts+ is a success ***LOL, your answer to # 6 almost made me pee my pants , I was laughing so hard. No one but fool or a scammer would say they would quit their existing business to work on a crypto coin , a Sane individual would wait and see if the new coin was even viable before saying they quit their day job. They definitely would have their exchanges already picked .***
Thanks you given me enough to verify in my reasoning exactly what you are.
You & your group are just a bunch of scammers out to hoodwink a coin community you feel can be threaten/tricked into obedience and subjugation.
Good Luck with your scam,
I will set my personal coins on fire , before you ever see one of my coins swapped for your scam.

Aztek,
You remain the poster child for the comments I directed towards Milly6 today...
"***LOL, your answer to # 6 almost made me pee my pants , I was laughing so hard.

They definitely would have their exchanges already picked .***"
My comments, "We plan to quit our day jobs when possible and in one or two cases, will close down existing businesses in order to focus our full attention on ensuring Sprouts+ is a success" included a clear indicator as to when, we would quit our day jobs, which was, "when possible". We are indeed sane individuals and have no intention of quitting our day jobs until there is enough capital for at least three yeas, in an account, as already discussed now, numerous times.
When you say, "funny your team knew almost immediately they needed 40%, yet these other simple things have yet to be worked out.", you don't appear to have taken into account that nothing has been immediate. In fact, everything has taken considerably longer than any of us had hoped for. The team was conceived as discussed, back in April/May of this year and we've only just recently released the details on the premine as we have focused on other tasks up until recently, rightly or wrongly.
As for the "simple things" yet to be worked out comment; The way I operate generally in life and also in my own businesses is to tackle the unknown first, leaving the known and quantifiable until last. It seems the rest of the team operates the same way. Simple things as you put them, are simple. Unknown things require greater though and can also determine whether a project is actually viable or not and so the unknowns need to be known and dealt with, first.
Having said that, the direction and our approach has been rather fluid up until recently. We have only just solidified a number of key aspects relating to the overall project.
"They definitely would have their exchanges already picked", according to who? Are you an expert source of knowledge on all things related to the launch of a crypto currency? Have you launched a currency yourself? Do you know of some reference text that all previous currencies have used as a guide when planning to launch a currency that stipulates one must pick the exchanges as a matter of priority?
If indeed there is such a text for how to launch a new currency, would you provide the link as it may be beneficial to us, as none of us has launched a new currency previously.
"In Truth, you claim 8 members needing only 11% combined in conjunction with the 40% to reach 51%, by claiming the assumption was false you just indicated you personally know the exact balance of every team member, which is in and of itself very odd" - Why is it odd that a group of people all interested in a currency, who all came together because of their common interest in same, would share information such as how much they hold? I have read plenty of posts from people who have divulged their holding to a room full of strangers.
The majority of team members have known each other now for more than four months, have had many discussions about the project, our personal lives, crypto currencies, hobbies, businesses, passions, dreams, etc and are continuing to learn more about each other every day. Why would we remain secretive and untrusting of each other? We're a team with a common goal of making Sprouts+ a success.
I find it fascinating that on the one hand you accuse us of being secretive and centralised for opting to host our own forum, implying we should be more open, and yet now you're accusing us of being too open and for feeling comfortable discussing how many coins we each hold amongst ourselves.
Suggesting that it's "not a good sign" that we trust each other and feel comfortable chatting openly with each other is a reflection on you and your level of distrust, not on us and our ability to form a cohesive and well bonded team.
"I will set my personal coins on fire , before you ever see one of my coins swapped for your scam." - The great thing about the swap is that... Yup, it's entirely voluntary.
You don't have to swap. Stick with your Sprouts, hold them, burn them. Whatever you'd like.
Either way, I stand by everything I have said thus far.
