I've personally been in touch with the founder, Alan Friedland. They're working on a lot right now; it's probably one of the furthest things from a scam when it comes to cryptocurrency - there's two companies here; Fintech Investment Group created the algorithmic trading that's been around for 8 years, then it was tokenized as a way to sell access to retail investors who usually would not have access to top tier trading algos. That token is CompCoin. It's a software license for artificial intelligence that trades USD/EUR and has so far shown some pretty impressive returns in backtesting and 99% correlation with real-time trades. It's the only token that actually generates earnings from outside the ecosystem - via profits from the automatic trades.
I can't share too much but I'm willing to disclose that there is a concerted effort on behalf of some members of the community - WHO ARE NOT PART OF THE COMPCOIN TEAM - to suppress the price of CMP. The dev team is working around the clock right now to counter these efforts so they can get back to working on the business. Now I don't know for sure, but that's my guess why there have been no updates.
I understand my reputation here isn't enough for people to take my word at face value, but I figured I'd share what I know. There's real money behind this project and they're busy working on a lot of things. They have over 1800 algos right now; they're testing with different pricing models that can be used to trade commodities, stocks, bonds, treasuries, any financial market. They're working with other brokerages to offer the software to their clients via affiliate relationships. There's so much more too that I really can't say.
Just know that the project has been in development 8 years. It's been on the exchange less than a month. They're well funded and have a leadership team with a track record. This is not vaporware. These are not anonymous people. You could find the founder's phone number right now and call him, he'd probably pick up too even though it's almost midnight where he is.
I will let them know that people are worried, concerned about the lack of communication and wanting verification that this is the real deal. Expect an update soon.
Sorry, could you point to any of those efforts?
I couldn't find any, no Facebook, no Twitter, no posts in this thread, no road map, the desktop wallet has polled from the site and they don't have a direct communication channel (slack, telegram etc).
If they really aren't in the Maldives, a direct message will help, they already have the money, if they really think that can create value for that kind of price they need to give some reassurance to your long time investors for avoid them to worry and dump the coins as well
If the project is legit, the dumpers are doing a favor to allow new blood into the project.
Cheers
MC
What I said was information I learned from my personal conversations with the founder. See, here's what you've got to realize. A large majority of this recent wave of ICOs are designed, marketed, and deployed by people who want to cash in on the ICO frenzy - that's not the case with CompCoin - hence CompCoin hasn't had the level of communication (via Slack, Telegram, forum presence, etc.) that we see with these ICOs peddling vaporware. For most of those ICOs, their
presence is all they have to sell, other than a dream, idea, roadmap, etc.
Want to know why there is no roadmap for the CompCoin or ART software development?
The software already exists.
That's what most people don't get here. Fintech Investment Group, that created the algos tokenized into CMP, is A REGISTERED FINANCIAL ADVISOR. You can pull their records. I don't know where you got Maldives from, Alan lives on the east coast.
And in regards to CompCoin not officially communicating the situation I mentioned previously, that's because they want it to stop. They don't want any more malicious actors. Hence they pulled wallets. That's what they're working on. Being busy is no excuse, but that's why I'm telling people as much as I know about the situation. Alan randomly stumbled upon my business, we talked a lot and he told me about what's happening to CMP.
Guys, they're fucking livid about what's going on with the price. They have the investors' best interests in mind - you better believe it. We all win together. Again, it's no excuse for not communicating but when the house is on fire you put it out - you don't stop and talk about it. They've got some lessons to learn in community management and they might learn it the hard way if people lose confidence for no reason, but again, CMP has been listed for what, less than two weeks on some nothing exchange with no volume. It's easy to dump on that market and push a coin with 11BTC max trading volume per day down 15 fold in a few sessions.
Again, I want to reiterate, I don't see any of this as an excuse for lacking communication with their community. They need to have more of a presence.
I haven't shared the message yet, haven't had the chance to myself, but I'm expecting to have another conversation with him soon and I'll let him know - on behalf of all of us here - that they've got to step up the communication.
