I have had a muck up with the crowdsale, i invested some funds.
I contacted Lauda (escrow) who was being extremely unhelpful.
Could i speak to someone in the team about this.
First time ever I was trying to invest through a crowd sale and I had obvious questions. Lauda was extremely super fast and helpful in answering questions.
This was a fresh screenshot that I took. It may be possible that the text was updated since last night. Either way, that should be clear enough now?
There is a lack of walk through document for newbie investors to invest their money through crowd sale, keeping them comfort by understanding what they are doing. It's applicable for any and just not limited to NVO.
This smells like a scam.
Why would anybody invest in two guys with no working code, when Blocknet has been worked on for years and already has a working fully functional Decentralized Exchange?
I would be very cautious of this one.
I have read through all the posts! (12 pages at the moment!)
It seems quite an interesting project that is possible to create history.
It is up to the developers and the whole team and their ethos to create something remarkable that will change the current situation of centralized exchanges!
I personally believe that this will be the biggest crowdsale in history, due to the nature of the project.
I am following, and i will wait for the crowdsale to begin.
To everyone, no need to rush and take down the website, everybody has one month in order to invest.
(i couldn't even create an account, probably you have deactivated it, to protect users)
Thanks Lauda and Nengun!
Good luck everybody!

Looks like the server is down for past 7+ hours, but no update from moderators!
Due to scammers and website flooding, NVO decided to delay the crowdsale until the issues are addressed. For the investors who sent funds, rest assured that your funds are kept securely in the escrows hands. NVO is sorry for this inconvenience. There is a new server and more protections, the website is currently under propagation. We would like to thank lauda for taking care of the scammers on slack.
First i would like to apologies for not been present on bitcointalk today, the old server has been removed and the website migrated in order to protect the investors, So the propagation takes time to be realised. We added some security regarding attackers who slowed the website.
Personally i am not a member of the team, but i am working with the developer to secure the platform agains these attacks, we are at 18 hours of development right now.
The investments are safe, the database is backed up, so you won't loose anything.
I personally have an idea about the scammers. Recently i had a discussion with a platform who wanted to take the project and remove the bitcointalk escrows. I asked the team to refuse, as these ico platforms are succeeding because of the escrowd of bitcointalk and because of the decentralization of bitcoin. Some people think that because of their disclosed IDs they can get controle over bitcoin.
Today, Simon dixon says no to altcoins, and that only Bitcoin matters, while he create an altcoin.
Roger Ver says yes to altcoins and no to bitcoin, while he is a member of the bitcoin foundation (bitcoin.com).
While i saw how the bitcoin core works, even Lauda asked to all the devs to participate, she/he is one of the protectors of bitcoin, and it is not for polotical aspects that i will question the bitcoin core's ecosystem.
I am not accusing them, but some other people are saying they are neutral while they are scammers. The platform i am suspecting asked the team to delay the crowdsale by 3 months in order to prepare a better marketing campaign and gather 10 millions minimum. I asked the team to say no, and they agreed simply because they would have lost the confidence of people as they engaged for a launch date. So they decided not to loose their word, and to go on.
I would like the scammers, if they continiue, they must know that they are annoying developers, and we could simply trace them as they are using bots for now. I can provide the proof that i hacked paypal when i was younger, i stole nothing, just wanted to take the challenge, they found me, and they prosecuted me, so i still have the proof which is an official court document.
If they don't stop i will track them down even if they hide in their mom's stomach.
