So now the story is that you just "forgot" that Block 0 is actually 1,200,000 out of 1,290,000 total coins instead of the zero coins you stated, and that these 93% of the total coins go directly into the coin developers wallets, and that you accidentally said that this 1,200,000 coins don't go into your wallet when in reality they actually do. Is this correct?
How is it verified that you are not simply creating smurf accounts and giving yourselves however many coins you want to, thereby screwing all of the people who actually pay for them and also deceiving them into thinking there is a massive amount of investors? This is a large part of how Josh Paycoined you Paycoiners with Paycoin, by the way.

Hello Paul,
Not really so much of a story at hand here. Looks like we are trying to make a bigger deal then is needed for the typo. For you to say anyone "forgot"anything is a bit far fetched Paul. There are multiple sources that dictate the use of the 1.2M BitStone, and the fact that it says "BLOCK 1 - 1,200,000 BitStone" throws your theory of us "forgetting" about anything out the window. It is clearly stated with great detail everywhere you look, and we went above and beyond to show the community that an investment with us will be fruitful. What other coin development team has taken things to this level of giving back every step of the way? The answer to that question is none, and we can understand that is why you're raising the concerns you are...but time is of the essence here, and we ask that you give us that time to prove we mean business.

The question you are asking above is one that has gone unanswered for the entire life of crypto currency crowdfunding. The only way that it is possible to achieve a morsel of success in doing what you asked above is to be as transparent as possible Paul. That means not only does the development team need to be transparent, but so does the investor themselves. There has to be investment rules in place that are catered to preventing such fraud like activity( fake accounts, shill account buying, etc ). One of the most important rules that's structured into this measure of preventing fraud like activity is : NO INVESTMENTS from NEWBIE accounts will be accepted. We will make sure that each investment received in Phase 1 and 2, is from a BitcoinTalk user that has sufficient history and is 100% comfortable with giving us a few sources of identifying contact information which will assist the BitStone team in determining weather or not the investment received is true and legitimate. Now with the Bittrex offering, we don't think there is anyway we can prevent others from whale buying, bot buying, waiting until the last min to buy, etc.
We understand there have been a few mishaps that have taken place in the crypto community, and completely see why the questions and concerns are surfacing from some people here in this thread.
We would like to invite any and everyone to come visit us here in Brentwood/Nashville, TN area.
How about we do this? The first 3 people to pay Dr. Keith Harville a visit and have lunch with him to go over the business plan will receive a free emerald, and a major discount on their first purchase inside the BitStone Store. The reason we propose this, is so respected people from the BitcoinTalk/Crypto community can come see what we have to offer and get a first hand look at the goods. With that being said, at the end of this meet and greet we will have hoped to earn your trust and respect. The only thing we would ask you folks to do is post a picture with doc and write a little blog here on this thread about your experience.Let us know your thoughts on this.
