Topic: ButterCoin CLOSING (Read 497 times)
I am not sure if many where even using them? But most likely there was other reasons for closing the doors. I was signed up and had a account but never heard anything from them as far as emails and such.
Strange, they have received $1.3 mil VC and they says they were not able to secure enough of VC. Only 9 employees.
I do not think this is the reason for them closing down, maybe they were unable to cope with the competition.

Whoah, where the hell did that money go? $1.3 mil funding? and then only 9 employees wtf. how much are they paying themself?
dude these investors dont question on their payroll? if I started a company, I would pay myself nothing the 1st year, until I got even profit.
that could have been one of the strings attached to the deal.
$1.3M could have been pure inventory, not anything for salaries, nothing for other expenses either, and on top of all of that they become a partner in the business but don't need to do any of the work.
$1.3M is about 5200 btc now you figure out how to move that around enough to make sure everyone can make a living off of it.

hate when this happens, wish they would have sold, but then again I would not want to see another Moolah mudding of a good name (Mintpal) occur.
