Didn't see that one coming East.
I remember when I first learned about these assets (in context of NXT) a while ago, I thought "this is the way Karmashares should work". It has almost all the features Karmashares should have had, except for the "problem" that it is tied to another currency instead of actual Karma, which is ... a not insignificant issue.
Never heard of NHZ before and "nhzKARM Asset-ID#:14027245553053047036" isn't exactly a catchy name. But since I apparently am due for some "free" assets due to my donations, I'll take that offer and see how it works out. It is an interesting idea for sure, though I'm not sure about all of the implications it might carry going forward.
With Karmashares there was an initially clearly defined strategy, with plans laid out for several projects, a company to back it up etc. - seemed like a great idea at the time. Right now for this we've pretty much only got your word and from the reactions in this thread I guess the rest of the team were not even involved up to this point?
If I had to invest any actual new money into this I'd like a bit more transparency and clarification before going ahead and buy into this. What exactly do I buy into with this asset? Is this supposed to be Karmashares 2.0 without an actual company? Or more or less just a different way to gather funds for development instead of donations? What is the IPO money going to be used for, who else is involved, what projects are planned, how are the funds going to be managed - that sort of stuff.
Nice, questions socoban and learminer.
As written on the thread for nhzKARM, every business venture has the risk of loss. I wont pretend that this project is guaranteed with success. Ponzi? Please see ponzi's characteristics and decide for yourself if this fit the bill.
NHZ assets are steps forward in applying the wonderful technological advancement made possible by the creation of the "blockchain", a public ledger. We are just trying to harness that
through nhzKARM.
Let us compare nhzKARM to what we have experienced before this, in the hope that it'll be easier to digest.
LLC:
We sent our coins to it, 8.6B in exchange for PDFs. Something that tied our coins for some months.
Did it gain profit? NO.
Was the PDF trade-able to other digital asset of value? NO. We actually hoped but it never materialized.
Was there a possibility of loss? YES.
Was there a possibility of a scam? YES, although we are not scammed, in the sense that the coins we put in were returned.
Did we need to trust somebody with that? YES
Was there a possibility of profit? YES
Was there a possibility of success? YES
Was there a possibility of failure? YES, and it did.
Did it helped KARMA? YES, for a while.
Were we involved? We decide.
Karma Funding Donations:
We sent our coins to donations in exchange for the good feeling that we are helping KARMA.
Did it gain profit? NO
Can we trade that to other digital assets of value? NO
Was there a possibility of loss? YES, total
Was there a possibility of scam? YES, although you can still check that all those funds are still there, through the public ledger we call blockchain explorer.
Did we need to trust somebody with that? YES
Was there a possibility of success? YES
Was there a possibility of failure? YES
Did it help KARMA? YES- ongoing
Were we involved? We decide.
When we put our money in a banking service, the similar things can be seen(yet not exactly the same)
When we put our money in an online payment service like paypal. there are similar situation.
When we put our money to a friend's loan request.
When we put our money inside a safe.
Now, nhzKARM:
We have to send NHZ coins in exchange for nhzKARM assets.
Will it gain profit? YES
Can we trade that to other digital assets of value? YES
Was there a possibility of loss? YES
Was there a possibility of scam? YES, and so are many other coins and assets launched, we only depend on the past record of the devs that create and launch them.
Did we need to trust somebody with that? YES
Was there a possibility of success? YES
Was there a possibility of failure? YES
Will it help KARMA? YES- ongoing
Were we involved? You decide.
Remember, although many things can be similar, this is still a part of a revolution, we can be similar but nhzKARM will still be different.
The point is, there is always someone or something we need to trust and always a chance of loss. ALWAYS.
What are the plans of use so that it may make a profit?
"
Where will the profits of nhzKARM come from?The collected fund from the sale of these assets will be used for mining, coins trading and NHZ coins staking. Other profit generating project will also be sought in the future, such as but not limited to online selling of tangible products. 100% profits made through these ventures will be distributed to nhzKARM asset holders, according to the percentage of the asset they have, against the total number of nhzKARM assets."
The exact percentages of the fund that will be invested in these various ventures will be determined later when the first week of IPO is finished.
Some will be put in a longer more stable form of investments, though they may make smaller gains but at least they are stable.
Some will be used for trading
Some will be used for mining (IF AND WHEN we can be sure this is not a losing option)
Some will be used for staking, safest but very small gains.
Exact details on where, when and how much will be provided on the thread of nhzKARM.
No one should rush into it nor out of it. Just do your due diligence, you can wait on how things go forward, anyway you can get in and out of this anytime, by purchasing or selling your assets to the prevailing market offers.
Compare, research and decide. I wont hold it against you, if you decide not to get involved.
Thanks again for your interest.

And YES OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS CHECK THE BLOCK CHAIN.
