Thank you for taking the time to respond. You make some good points about other ICO's.
Do you think the platform in its current state would be able to handle an influx of 10's of thousands of new users (or more) and be able to work properly?
Hi and since you're obviously new, a warming welcome to Bitcointalk is in order
.
Leaving all PR etiquette aside.. have to admit that while reading your posts with interest I was more like "say it brother!" rather than "oh noes! we have a troll" (I
don't think you're trolling)
. Seriously, if everyone would do their due dilligence while investing, we'd live in a world where scamming would be harder than going to work. These ICO scams stem from human greed, going both ways as both scammers and 'scamees' (if you will..) act out of greed. We could discuss this for hours though (and if we're scamming I might've just shot myself in the knee for giving away some of our doctrine
- joking, of course).
Small talk aside, the platform (game engine and hosting) in it's current state can accomodate users in the number of 10s of thousand. The code behind the game is robust enough and the hosting solution is scalable to our changing needs (traffic peaks depending on real life game dates, etc). This has been tested internally (since the closed beta) under different loads.
Ever since the public beta began though... we've only risen in numbers of simultanous sessions and concurrent contests. The platform scaled very well, in accord to our own initial tests and predictions. However, in our unperfect world we have to expect the unexpected and plan accordingly (as nobody can predict everything; this includes bugs, attacks and whatnot).
Feel free to address further questions and we'll be happy to reply (one at a time would be great as it's hard to reply to nested questions). The best test that any company can pass is the test of time and we've just begun
.
Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from and recognising that I'm not a troll (what kind of troll turns up this late to the party?!).
The truth is that I had already invested before I posted my first comment. The reason I'm asking questions is because I want to invest further and to do that I would like more information about the people behind this project so I can make a better risk assessment.
So I'd like to start by asking why have so many details been held back about the people financing and working on this project? I'm looking at this in comparison to other Crypto projects which I like (Stratis, Maidsafe, Factom) where a lot more info is available.
You have a fantastic idea here and people like me will invest time and money into helping this grow but integrity is important to me so I can't convince others until I am fully convinced myself.
