Topic: Free guessing game - chance to win 1 BTC (Read 9345 times)

I am not sure it is a scam yet, i am not saying the coin is a scam. However, with an arrogant dev like the one who handles the coin currently, you are never more than two steps away from disaster! He failed to pay me, that does NOT make his coin a scam, it just makes him a very arrogant person who thinks he can do anything he likes, and get away with it! I am glad that some people are beginning to see the real picture of how this went down and are questioning his abilities, but i would like some more community support to get him to pay up AND issue a public apology for lying and being so de-meaning to me!

So Boot Strap Coin is a scam too?

So this ended up being a scam?

Oh, things have moved on. Just no action on this thread as it clearly shows that the dev defaulted on payments. Please look up my scam accusation:

No respon this thread.

This is fair warning: Today is the last day of the month, and as per your promise, you will be paying us (winners of the guessing game) our dues. As soon as the server time switches over to 1st may, if the payment is not in our accounts, it is our right to open a scam accusation and leave you negative feedback. No more being nice guys if the funds are not in our account as promised by you twice!

To all the folks excited about the new coin, i would ask only this: Would you trust a dev who rolls back on his promise twice? You need to think again, we have been patiently waiting for the dev to payout our dues and he just keeps rolling over on his promises. At first he was supposed to pay us on 23rd of April and then after going in-communicando for a while and after much prodding on my and other guessers part, he replied saying that he has to fix all issues with his coin. Going by the evidence on this thread, the coin works beautifully, but again he does not talk about paying us. There was a small caveat in his other mail that said, if the coin works well or at the end of the month. Both these conditions are getting fulfilled today and we have yet to receive any form of payment. Worse, he does not seem to be bothered about this issue.

Edit: Sent him a PM with the exact same post as on here.

so any update on the winners getting paid or what? lol.

this is why I hate giveaways that arent escrowed.

I know op has finished successfully all technical and blockchain related issue
but i dont understand why he needs so much time to paid for the winner.
okey, i wait by 1st may for the payment and must be completed at that time.

We will know soon enough... its almost the end of the month and the coin seems to be working all ok as per the official coin thread. Going by what OP had stated, he should have made the payment as soon as all technical issues with the coin had been fixed, again this promise seems to have gone down the drain. I highly doubt if the winnings will be paid out. This time there will be no idle threat, if the payment is not in my account by 1st May, i will not try to reason it out with the dev because we have been very patient and accommodating, i will leave negative feedback and open a scam accusation on 1st May.

Yeah a update is good. But it's not nice with the undefined waiting time. First he means on 23., now he say until the end of the month.
I don't understand why he needs so much time. What has the blockchain of his coin to do with the bounty for the winners?
If i do a payment, it needs only few minutes.

And further, the twitter page shows no new update since 22. The last tweet i saw says "Wallets and block explorer are up!" https://twitter.com/BootstrapCoin
If i read this i think the coin is working fine! Why is there no information, minimum a link to the official bitcointalk thread, on the top of the posts (or at the info area on the left side).

Dear Dev, keep your costumer/community updated and give the bounty to the winners of the game.

me too. hope to get the payment today

and for OP i'v sent pm my btc address.
thank you.

I hope we will get paid today as OP has finished successfully all technical and blockchain related issues.

how much did the op planned on to raise for a website anyways? isnt it cheap to launch a site?

OP will have to pay with money from his pocket from what it seems. His plans to make this a 'crowdfunded project' didn't float.

thank you for update your thread and goodluck your coin.

pm sent.

regards.

Its a good thing op you replied, or else this would be looking really bad for you lol.

Thank you for posting the update Dev. People were starting to get restless (including your's truly) so its a good thing you posted this update. Now i hope you stick to the new time lines. Like i said, i have no problem waiting (and sure that the other two winners also feel the same), as long as we are kept updated about the situation. I know it can be stressful as a Dev trying to promote his coin and fixing all those technical issues, but the thing is you just cannot afford to drop the ball at any point. You seem to have a wonderful community building up around your coin just going by the number of people who are supporting us winners wrt this issue. I am sure your coin will do well once everything gets fixed. Thanks.

hey
will send winners bounties as soon as i sort out the issues with the blockchain
no need to worry, 0.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 awards will be funded when everything settles down & we successfully move to the new chain
everyone will get their bounties until the end of the month perhaps today/tomorrow, when i solve all the tech issues
punggawa & fantoos pm me with ur btc addresses

Yeah hopefully we will get paid today. This is amazing community support is growing more and more.Have a great day everyone.

Ok,

Apparently, he has responded on the official thread for the coin saying that the payments will be made today. Still does not take away from the fact that a simple PM or a post on this thread (which is the official thread for the guessing game) was not updated with this information! I will wait until the end of today, like i said earlier and if nothing happens, then i will go ahead and take the appropriate action. OP: If you do make the payment, please update this thread with the txid for everyone to see.

P.S: Nice to see the support we (winners) have been getting from the community.
