I'm not throwing dirt. You guys disappeared for several days. Your thread started lighting up with complaints, including from bounty claimers and one of the official escrow folks. You admitted that you dropped the ball and lost your login credentials. You admitted in failing to be timely with responses. It was your users who asked me if I knew what was up, and the first thing I did was check the nethash and saw that it was at a whopping 20MH, which is usually a good indicator that something is wrong.

Then I reviewed the thread and merely warned people that there could be a problem, especially given the very vague purpose of this coin, that they should be cautious.  In the digital age, minutes matter, and you guys diseappeared for far too long, and shot yourselves in the foot. I also wasn't spamming to go use other coins, I merely added onto conversation others were having about business coins.

I could literally care less about your project--including throwing dirt, I'm just monitoring it. If you're so sensitive to take this as an attack, I wish you the best with handling further problems.

And at the time of this post, it's up to almost 40MH.

Seems like you got your posts mixed up.

Our Bitcointalk forum presence may not have been as strong for those couple of days as it was previously, but we have been communicating with our supporters & investors via email & several social media platforms. We didn't "drop the ball" as you claim, We were merely experiencing some miscommunication issues however all has been settled now.

We didn't intend to turn this into an argument, However you must understand that in our current coin stage ANY negative feedback specially when coming from an higher ranked member, Can and WILL have an negative impact on our project and that is something we cannot have if we expect Surge to have a future. We appreciate your concern and thank you for having an interest as well as taking your time to express your concerns, We can assure you we will try our best to not let this inconvenience happen again.

...so you have absolutely no interest in any type of financial, technical or any other sort of profit whatsoever? For the entirety of its lifetime, Surge is just a hobby you will always do pro-bono? Because a business venture is something you do for some sort of gain, usually a company: http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/business-venture.html

Semantics man.

Once again assumptions are being made on your part, We have never stated 'we didn't have any interest in any sort of profit whatsoever'. In its current stage it would be premature to think about profits, Surge is just beginning to receive feedback as well as we are striving to get placement for it via several major merchants. For the time being we will continue to invest our own funds (not IPO) and our time into this project, If any profit is made from Surge... GREAT!, Otherwise we will continue doing what we've been doing and that is working 'pro-bono' and attempting to gain merchant adaptability.

Never said the dude wanted anything back, merely said he was feeling uneasy about the lack of communication from you. Care to re-read my post?

Here's the following statement made by you in your last post: Not to mention one of the Escrow people even messaged me and said he was getting a bad feeling about it, and had some users asking him about a refund.

That isn't true at all, We asked the IPO holders & Bounty registrants to send us there Surge address. Everyone was mass-mailed with the following message on April 9th, after we've received there info:  http://i.imgur.com/cm5a7ct.png Please keep in mind that the week mentioned in that email has not passed yet, Also we had banners on the website & DM several members via Twitter.

Just saying what I was told. I won't mention the Escrow's name, but I'll pass your statement along to him so he can contact you.

I will attempt to keep my composure & respond to comments professionally, however i will simply not allow members such as yourself to throw dirt on our name and/or attempt to discourage our users by mentioning third-party coins, regardless of rank on this forum.

Seems like you got your posts mixed up.

You have made too many assumptions within your post, First off this may be an registered company but it isn't an business venture, There are no "owners" we operate under an partnership agreement since we all share a mutual interest in watching Surge grow and all of our work is done 'pro-bono' including the devs.

Semantics man.

In regards to your comment made pertaining to the escrow holder, If you would kindly read the main post on this thread discussing Surge's IPO agreement it clearly states in bold font: "If by any chance you decide to pull out you are 100% allowed to do so as long as its at-least 24 hours before launch!"

Fact is that our investors had plenty of time to ask for there IPO funds to be returned, Even 42-hours prior to launching we made it clear that if anyone didn't want to follow through they could contact the escrow and have there funds returned. We are all aware that investing on crypto-currencies requires a level of trust & hope, Since nothing is set in-stone there is no guarantee that their investment will be doubled/tripled etc. you simply have to have faith in the devs & staff working hard to make the coin be worth something as well as achieving merchant adoption.

Definitely.. trust your BTC to people who forgot to do their jobs, forgot login details, failed to follow up, let their coin pretty much die, and had no idea how coinpayments works despite claiming to be on top of everything weeks in advance.

Roll Eyes

To respond to your claim, Surge is very much alive whether you fail to recognize it or not. As for you stating we "failed to follow-up", If any of our supporters follow us on Twitter we have been actively providing support & informing users of changes/updates etc. as well as on our official website and other forums.

Mistakes do happen and we never claimed to be on top of everything weeks in advanced, We worked tirelessly to deliver an coin and have it serve an purpose in time, which we achieved. We also informed our investors of upcoming changes etc. via email as well as informed the bounty & giveaway participants.

As for the querky remarks of users trusting us with their BTC's, The IPO has long been finalized and to our understanding all IPO investors have been fully accredited, So i fail to see where you're getting at with that statement.

Thanks for your concern.

Some users, even the faucet and explorer guys, exclaimed how you guys hadn't talked to them in quite awhile.. the premine was also delayed for days. All I pointed out was it's pretty crazy that apparently the only people who had login credentials, forgot them somehow.. if it's a business venture, shouldn't the owners have all of the login credentials for accounts which are speaking in official means for their coin?

Not to mention one of the Escrow people even messaged me and said he was getting a bad feeling about it, and had some users asking him about a refund. So.. you guys pushed some wrong buttons on at least a few people's keyboards.

Not trying to spread FUD here, you guys did that yourself. Maybe right now you're in a soft-launch phase. Once you guys have the business "stood up" then maybe it'll take off. Until then, your coin is in a very dangerous state.. next to no nethash. It could be taken over by anyone right now. You guys need some folks who believe in it to mine it before it gets ripped up.

To the others: There have been several coins which have a legit business backing and use, TAGcoin has been around since November for example. Potcoin isn't even fully "launched" yet, and is very stable. The website is functional, maybe it's not a design everyone likes, but it works.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just pointing out some obvious problems.

We appreciate everyone whom has stuck around as well as our IPO investors for taking a risk on Surge, We will not let you guys down. Our team may have hit a bumpy start but we're only going up from this point on.

Was this a scam?

NO! Absolutely Not, We apologize for the misunderstanding but SURGE isn't leaving anywhere any-time soon. Our team has been working extremely hard to have SURGE adopted locally as well as provide merchants with the necessary tools needed to support our coin. We understand there was confusion within our supporters about the coins status, however we want to make this clear to everyone.

Looks like Procoin beat you to the punch regarding a cryptocurrency focused on businesses.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pcn-procoin-get-some-build-a-service-get-a-bounty-web-wallet-511678  The Pro Business Cryptocurrency That’s Easy To Use.  http://www.teamprocoin.com/

eww that coin looks like a 12 year old made it.

Not really, it looks just as professional as this coins website.  I wasn't trying to compare websites/logo's.  I was just pointing out that Surge isn't the only coin catering to businesses.  It's already being done.

Yeah very profesional dey cant even code there own site http://www.elegantthemes.com/demo/?theme=Divi

Not any different than many of the wordpress theme sites that a lot of coins use.  But that has nothing to do with the point I was making regarding a business focused coin.

What does a business focused coin even mean to you?

More than just a fancy website.  Hey, I don't have any interest in procoin or surgecoin.  I was just pointing out that there is already a coin that is business focused.

From their website:
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from using ProCoin to take payments. ProCoin uses its own fast network to make buying and selling easy.

Sounds like what you're coin is intended to do. 

Sorry to disrupt your thread.  I wish you the best with your endeavors.

Well what coin exactly is not meant to be ''business'' focused by that definition aside from InsanityCoin and other similar experiments.

Crypto's are a currency...

Attention Fellow #SURGE Supporters & Investors!! (PLEASE READ)

We thank you for supporting SURGE and we are certain some of you may feel sort of confused and/or have questions pertaining to the status of the coin and we'd like to take the time to answer your questions as well as clear-up any rumors that may have been floating around.  

Here is an short FAQ feel free to post your questions on this thread and we will add them to this FAQ as we go.

What is going on with SURGE at the moment?

Our developers Surge_Dev are currently out of the state handling business pertaining to an different project they were hired for and are scheduled to return tomorrow (Monday, April 14th 2014). While they were away our in-house marketing & public relations team got together to discuss the future of SURGE, We began to contact our extensive list of merchants & online businesses whom have an history of supporting crypto-currency as well businesses found locally to us.

To our surprise we received many positive responses & great feedback in regards to our project, However we encountered an issue. Many merchants stated they would be willing to accept Surge Coin's however it would require us to have an 'Instant-Payment-Notification' system which would allow merchants to process transactions easily, Being that our devs were away completing there freelanced contracts we were forced to contact CoinPayments.net, Unfortunately this delayed our plans because CoinPayments selects coins based on amount of votes and not knowing this was the case... Well we were left with no other choice but to pause everything until the developers returned.

To Vote for SURGE on CoinPayment please visit the following link, It would help us greatly: https://www.coinpayments.net/vote

Why did it take you so long to respond?

As stated above, After receiving news that we needed an IPN system and having no other choice but to contact CoinPayments and ask for coin placement, Our staff got discouraged however we continued to ask our supporters for votes via Twitter/Forum & Official Website with no results. Our developers made a mistake upon leaving they forgotten to leave us the login details to the Bitcointalk account, Which caused an delay in our response.

Was the IPO payment ever made? What about giveaway & bounties?

All IPO recipients should've been paid as of April 10th, If you have not then we urge you contact us immediately at: [email protected]
As for SURGE giveaway & bounties, We were only able to distribute and pay-off an small amount of members due to our devs being away we do not have access to the system where the SURGE coins for distribution are stored. However giveaway & bounty distribution will be resumed as soon as we are given access to the stored coins.

Was this a scam?

NO! Absolutely Not, We apologize for the misunderstanding but SURGE isn't leaving anywhere any-time soon. Our team has been working extremely hard to have SURGE adopted locally as well as provide merchants with the necessary tools needed to support our coin. We understand there was confusion within our supporters about the coins status, however we want to make this clear to everyone.

When we began #SURGE it was with an vision of becoming the only coin catered to merchants, Our goal was and always will be assisting small business grow however the development process of many of our tools & blueprints take time and this is an process we cannot rush.

What can we expect in the future for SURGE?

Here is an short but comprehensive list of updates & features you will be expecting for SURGE!

  • Further Merchant Adoption & Extensive Array of Merchants
  • SURGE Instant-Payment-Notification
  • Coin Placement on Major distributors and/or local retailers
  • SURGE v.2 Wallet will be optimized & redesigned
  • Minted SURGE coins available for distribution. (FREE to our IPO holders)
  • SURGE Charity Foundation "Surging The Thirst"
    and many more...
We Thank You for taking the time to read this post & apologize for the misunderstanding as well as inconveniences our delay has caused.
We understand there may be questions in-regards to the legitimacy of this account and post, Which is why we have advised our devs to update the thread as soon as they've arrived to avoid any further confusion. Thanks for understanding!

Definitely.. trust your BTC to people who forgot to do their jobs, forgot login details, failed to follow up, let their coin pretty much die, and had no idea how coinpayments works despite claiming to be on top of everything weeks in advance.

Roll Eyes

To respond to your claim, Surge is very much alive whether you fail to recognize it or not. As for you stating we "failed to follow-up", If any of our supporters follow us on Twitter we have been actively providing support & informing users of changes/updates etc. as well as on our official website and other forums.

Mistakes do happen and we never claimed to be on top of everything weeks in advanced, We worked tirelessly to deliver an coin and have it serve an purpose in time, which we achieved. We also informed our investors of upcoming changes etc. via email as well as informed the bounty & giveaway participants.

As for the querky remarks of users trusting us with their BTC's, The IPO has long been finalized and to our understanding all IPO investors have been fully accredited, So i fail to see where you're getting at with that statement.

Thanks for your concern.
