Actually.. although it is a good idea, this sounds lame as there is little upside for investors. They are only selling 10%, so although the funds raised will fund all development and salaries, investors will only see 10% of profits. Also there is no equity, so if the company is sold profits go bye bye?

Quote
We are offering 10% of the total Jinn assets which guarantee the owners of these 10% of all Jinn generated profits. These profits will be paid out via dividends on the NXT Asset Exchange on the first of each month. The assets are not equity shares or voting rights, but entitles the owner to profits only.

I believe this could answer your concern on what would happen if the company is sold.
Their website also explains how the equity will be split and what the schedule is. And this post provides explanation on the legalities, which are a concern, because it's a decentralized exchange. Basically it's a test of the concept of the decentralized exchange, it's all uncharted waters. Caveat emptor.

I guess those explanations that they are not providing equity due to legalities make sense, but I would prefer that he write that into the prospectus as I think he can back out of those statements.

Also... This will be competing with IBM... http://www.coindesk.com/ibm-sees-role-block-chain-internet-things/

I've read both the NxT thread about it and then the FAQ.  I agree with your assessment.  They've already given it a valuation of $1 million and yet there's no prototype, no patent and looks like it's still on the drawing board..  and they're only giving up 10% equity..

 Probably the reason why it's done on the NxT asset exchange was if CfB brought this to a venture capitalist (even an amateur one) he would be laughed out of the room.

Of course because I said this I will probably get some angry NxTers gunning for me but that's the power of the NxT cult following.  I'm a rationale person and saw merit in SuperNet (and have some) but this?  No way.

Not really, you shouldn't be getting any angry replies, your comment is valid, except for the part where you say it's a cult which is laughable. You're right in that there is nothing there presented to investors backing this IPO at this point, except faith in CfB and his ability to deliver, which he demonstrated over the past months. I would argue that he delivered more than James. But at any rate it's a very high risk venture like any startup company, only invest what you can afford to lose.

cool my posts keep getting deleted;

I swear I didn't report you, I never report anyone. I think it's the new rules of moderation, where you can't call something a scam without providing an explanation. "X is a scam because this and this".

But I saw your post and I have a question to you. Do you generally not believe in the concept of decentralized exchange or do you not believe in NXT only?

EDIT: it's a question for everyone.
