Topic: DESCROW SECURE CROWDFUNDING PLATFORM - page 17. (Read 36088 times)

I do not understand where did you get this information from? In this situation, just words are not enough, you need some kind of confirmation for your words

This year there will be a lot of changes in the direction of the ICO, including at the legislative level. I think in the near future people will trust ICO more and there will be less fraud.

I agree, maybe there is a chance to help get the money back at least partially! As I'm fed up with these scammers, I hope that thanks to DESCROW they will become as small as possible!

If your friend really managed to get his money back, then he's just lucky. This is very rare and, as a rule, all the money investors lose without a trace. If you have any information or you can help contact those people who can help people get their money back, you should write about it in the Benebit topic.

My friend participated in this ICO. He invested 35 eth and returned it. He told me the whole situation with these scammers. I did not want to tell his story at the forum. Also yesterday I saw this post of a man who also received money back too https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unexpected-turn-in-with-benebit-scam-2839197

congratulations on the finished ICO. I expected some sort of big post to be honest. Some major statistics. Mean contribution etc would be nice to see

And what kind of people who just took private keys and how did they find out where to look? And where do you get this information from?
Can you provide links to the source?

And what is the rating algorithm? Do you somehow justify your opinion?

Maybe it's Buterin's advice not to set the hard cap is right? Let it all go with success, how many were able to collect as much as possible and collected

You fellows that have collected your hard cap, but in general I thought that there would be much more! I hope further your business will go up

I heard that some conferences are arranged on a fee basis. Now this is a very popular direction. And people (investors and participants) ready to pay for it.

The organizers of the Scam project Benebit have disappeared with $2.7 mln



One of the most appreciable ICO projects, which consistently stayed on the the top of initial coin offerings ratings, turned out to be a scam. The organizers of the Benebit ICO have attracted, according to various estimates, from 2.7 to $4 mln and then disappeared with investors funds, having switched off the web site and social networks accounts. The organization of the fraud was quite high: Benebit have spent about $ 500 thousands $ for a marketing company.

The ICO promotion was in full swing, the social networks were alive with high activity, Benebit was all over the news, when suddenly it was discovered that some members of the team photos turned out to be stolen from the web site of the British school for boys.

As soon as the fraud was discovered, the website and Benebit accounts in social networks were disabled. In Benebit Telegram Channel — the only one which is still working — the investors cry out for a response, joking sadly by posting the telephone numbers of the suicide hotlines. One of the investors reported that he had invested 14 BTC and ETH 300 in Benebit.

This scam one more time underlines the necessity of revising the principles of the crowdfunding market: in any case, projects should not receive “cash in advance” — on the contrary, the funds infusion should go to the project gradually, and the decision on transferring must be made by the investors. Such is the working scheme of Descrow project, the decentralized escrow platform for ICOs maintaining. Just one day left before its own ICO ending. You still have the time to get DES tokens here.

In those days it seems to me that these were small clubs of interest, but now these are huge public events. And the fact that the DES is involved in almost all very well affects the success of the project.

We all of those present support the project. The success of the project is our success in the future and the safety of our means.

Many thanks, but do not scare the forum participants with such big letters.

I agree with you, I like projects that are developed at the expense of users themselves, and not at the expense of PR and people who have nothing to do with crypto-currencies.

As far as I know Durov does not comment on this ICO, it's probably just a PR move to attract more money! Personally, I do not like this idea very much, practice shows that projects with smaller amounts are much better implemented in the future!
