The problem is, you have a bunch of assholes who are willing to research as far as the word "scam", but not willing to ACTUALLY research. It becomes very clear that one of the biggest problems Bryce encountered was SLANDER AND FUD.
...
And when you talk about "failure rate" of his projects, his success rate is MUCH higher than the average 92% failure rate of ALL start-ups.
...
Effectively, you have people in this thread spreading bullshit.
...
Stop being assholes.

No idea who you are or what Bitland is, but that is about as far from a professional message as I can imagine. Not a great first impression, engaging with people in that manner...
And regarding Bryce - anyone who wanted to do due diligence and talk to folks like Worth Godwin about Bitseeds or Brian Kelly about Nautiluscoin would soon find out what an incompetent (at best) and duplicitous person he has been in his crypto dealings. Not to mention his past carnival barker-esque/delusional rantings, such as this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oX_OSq4v0M ...
Thankfully, projects like $XSEED, $GHC and $NAUT have managed to recover with the help of actual, capable programmers such as Luke Williams and Julian Yap, etc. - any success in a once-Bryce coin is DESPITE his behaviour and actions.
Other Bryce coins seem more ill-fated: $RZR, $AMK, $XPD, $XDQ, $OSC, etc. All dead or near-death.
In short, Bryce creates a trail of digital crypto tears, and I can't recall a single crypto project he's been involved with at the DEV level in which the person hiring him was pleased with the results. He's smart enough to speak in aphorisms so you can never really pin him down on anything, but don't be fooled.
Buyer beware, is all. (And I do have to say that his coins have historically pumped at first - just crazily tanked shortly after launch for the most part, due to problems which are miraculously never due to his level of competence or chicanery.)
For no project have I ever asked for fund prior to this one. This project is being managed for the sake of music industry politics, not to please the BitcoinTalk community. It will never look like a traditional crypto ICO or project. That's just the way it is.
My other project were, in fact, learning the technology and the community to be able to launch this project. What you've highlighted is three years of public experimentation with the Bitcoin code base which enables a solution that can be used in business.
Let's talk about some of my other projects to clear the air.
Razor was a project of Blocktech and a legal disaster. I was advised by my attorney to abandon it because of the way Blocktech handled it.
AmKoin has never been traded and was purely educational. People still use the guides that I wrote to compile it.
Petrodollar was another experiment that I never sought to have traded, and yet was traded anyway. That's the industry.
$XDQ was an experiment in market forces, hence the agreement for AllCrypt for a NAUT pairing. Switching NAUT to POS was going to take more time and resources than I had available which is why I backed out. I still have to make a living. Edit to add: the fact that BlueDragon77 got butthurt when I refused to work with his crooked Fleet Street backers is something that still echoes through the forums and BD77's draconian administration of the Blake-256 ecosystem that made it unusable for anyone.
Speaking of making a living, BitSeeds was a bunch of empty and/or broken promises and I regret ever involving myself with that project.
Anari Singbe has already posted a few times that Blocktech's management was the issue behind GamerholicCoin and had nothing to do with me or my technical expertise. I actually didn't code that coin, at all.
If I'm guilty of anything it's putting my trust in those whom trust was not worth giving. It is for that reason I am spearheading this project personally.
People get a little crazy when the potential for profits starts to become a reality, and when things go wrong traders are always looking for someone to blame.
This is the first time I've ever responded to any accusations and this will also be the last. People will think what they want, but reality is often far divorced from what is seen on these forums.
Welcome to the real crypto.
I'd like to take a moment to extend thanks to all of those who have supported this project thus far. I am excited to reveal all that we have had in the works over the course of the remainder of the crowd sale.
