It is just a very poor, unfortunate decision by the dev team that, obviously, will not work. It has ZERO chance to work.
The dev team simply tried the impossible, which is to please everyone instead of doing the proper thing which was the initial plan of letting the market itself determine the price. This is going to be a mess in the end, I'm afraid.

What does working mean? You are assuming that Breakoutcoin is like all the other scam alternative projects that need bitcointalk to stay alive. Breakoutcoin should be less reliant on Bitcointalk then just about any other alternative crypto project. I would hope David Hanlon and the rest of the Breakoutgaming team isn't relying on Bitcointalk for the necessary funding. FFS, he was the Chief Operating Officer of the Rio Hotel Casino. How could they not have alternative funding sources outside of this sewer of a forum?
Barabbas, I would agree with you 100% if I thought this offering was the only funding source, but this project has too many well known players for me to believe that's the case.
Agreed, BRO Dev team members are googleable public figures, located in Silicon Valley. BreakoutGaming can easily raise few million dollars from VCs if they want to.
VC firms are very eager to invest in Fantasy sports & e-sports these days:
Fanduel raised $86.2 Million in funding: http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/fanduel
DraftKings raised $76.4 Million in funding: http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/draftkings
Investing in crypto startups is also very appealing to VC firms and institutional investors: http://www.futuresmag.com/2014/11/10/institutional-interest-in-bitcoin-surges-as-tradin
I think the reason behind announcing BRO ICO on Bitcointalk is to not only give crypto community an early shot at this ICO, but also to allow for a fair distribution that's necessary to secure the PoS (PoB) network by ensuring a large number of active nodes, as opposed to raising funds from just a couple of VC firms.
Yes, you are 100% right.
I still don't understand why these guys can't simply gather up $250k(~700BTC) from their celebrity endorsers. Something isn't right.
This is an opportunity for the crypto community to participate in the coin sale. We are offering the crypto community first chance at the coins, The sale purpose is to:
1. Offer the crypto community first chance at the coins and Bergstake.
2. Spread the coin to a wide and diverse group as possible.
3. If the crypto community does not reach the proposed amount, we will be taking it to a private sale as you suggested
4. If we didn't offer the general public the chance at the coins first, there would be a chance of negative reaction.
5. There has already been significant investment in time and money into the project.

Barrabbas likes to smell his own farts. I've only ever seen him FUD a coin; never sits on a thread to give any worthwhile support. You see, this coin is too big of a player to take heed of his attempts at gaining cheap BRO - you didn't invest, tough shit. And like the JakeThePanda said: this Forum isn't the centre of the universe.
Oh, and take it from a person that's been sat here biting his tongue for weeks on several other threads - Barabbas is in it for the long run. He'll be here spouting crap and spreading fear as long as this thread exists, or he's deleted.
... I also hate the fact that he's made me acknowledge him once again!!
+1 for banning Barabbas
Every single one of his posts has been nothing but pure FUD. If you don't like what you see here, GTFO already.

next price: 1 bitcoin buys 3,500 BRO at block 329795 [/color][/center]
Why would anyone do this ?
I cant imagine anyone buying into the ICO after it left the 5500 range.
It makes no sense at all.
The 8% that u had before for early investors was fair this is just crazy.
I like the new deal for the bergstake glad u saw it my way in the end.
But now u have robbed me of the chance to invest i would have been interrested at the 6500 range but or even 8% over that but whats happening now is beyond all reason who thought up this construction?

They are not a bunch of anon lame devs, it's solid team of pro, they will find how to sort it (if it happens) one way or another.

When I'm going to invest in a coin, I watch the thread like a hawk. How is it that you are only finding out now about the current ICO structure?
It's somewhat of a fallacy to compare the price against what others have already paid. When someone buys Apple stock now, they don't compare it to when it was trading a $4 a share.

I will probably still be a customer but at current rates i wont be an investor.
You can make some of the people happy all the time, but you can never make all the people happy. I bought in as early as possible, so I'm happy. You didn't buy in early, so you aren't happy. The early bird gets the worm and the same goes for investments. That's the way the world works.
You knew about this structure when you posted on October 30th, when you could have bought in at 6k.
Amen! Hope your panda is well.

If the price was the same all the way through, everyone would just buy at the last minute.
There was allready a structure inplace that gave such incentives for investing early , what they have done now will stop any serious investor from investing at this late date since their forced to overpay such a huge ammount.
I might be wrong , but for me i was planning to invest a few BTC on the Last day i didnt mind paying the 8% premium.
Now i would be forced to pay allmost double and I will pass on that "Great" offer.
I will probably still be a customer but at current rates i wont be an investor.
Why didnt you just buy at the cheaper price ?
Dev Q: What happens when the sale ends in 8 days. Is there some sort of roadmap?

The Chinese have an ancient proverb:

BRO price will only rise up once Devs start releasing those long-awaited gaming software demos.

Barabbas: The people behind BRO are probably too nice to tell you this it, so I'll just say it: "If this ICO is not your cup of tea, then go invest somewhere else!"
Good luck finding anything better...
And why is it you feel the need to interpret the thoughts of ALL "The people behind BRO"? Don't you realize how incredibly stupid you make yourself look?
Amazing. Really amazing...
IconicExpert, why dont you just focus on your stupid Bytecent scamcoin instead?
Your future bagholders would sure appreciate it!
btw for those that dont know, Barabbas is IconicExpert: https://twitter.com/IconicExpert
The same guy who scammed the BlackCoin community for thousands of dollars.
The same guy who responded to the PinkCoin dev under his 'Barabbas' account by accident. And swiftly deleted it.
At this point only individuals affected by profound mental retardation and imbeciles actually choose to believe such idiocy.
But you fit the bill nicely.
Just for the record, "Barabbas" is my ONLY handle on BTCT. And I have never, ever deleted any posts. Ever.
You should get busy defending yourself and clearing your name on those other threads, not on BRO thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--645899
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stay-away-from-iconicexpert-trioste-barabbas-or-brammien-627818
This post needs to be deleted as it is not relevant to BRO discussion. You should start your own thread if you want to cast stones on anyone.
On a different note, should I worry if my balance checked is a few thousands less than previously shown?
-tb-
tb, I wouldn't worry about the balance changing. The balance checker being used is from a public api. Your real balance will be correct when the coins are distributed from the genesis block. If you want to know what your actual balance should be, pm us you btc address and tx number.
November 10, 2014, 04:01:57 PM
If we do not reach our intended goal of estimated 700 BTC, then we will raise the difference in a private sale in order to advance the project. The second phase will absolutely be offered to public first, once the project is able to go forward under better circumstances as you suggested. Hope this clears things up.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm forwarding this to potential investors.
also glad i read this, thanks
