any updates on development and stuff?

according to your website the launch is in 12 days... can't wait to see this thing collapse

Also looking for an update, would be great to see a proper build-up from now until the launch.

Just logged into the backend - really looks great guys.

Rome wasnt built in one day... So relax :-)

...they always said approxmatly


Yeah...maybe...or maybe not.

Who's to say they won't postpone it another year after this month extension is up?

Then another decade after that year is over...then a century...millennium...

The fact of the matter is that there are people who've invested money in keywords that they were under the impression would have a chance to start generating some type of return by X date.  Approximate or not, they've missed the mark by at least 1 month and who knows if this thing's ever going to launch.

In the meantime, Joe and Sally Schmoe, who've both purchased 5 keywords for $500+ (USD), are growing a bit angrier and angrier the longer they have to wait for some kind of sign that a ROI is even possible.  They may begin to wonder whether they were duped by a scammer, if not after the first postponement, then certainly by the second or third.

And they certainly aren't going to go around to their family members and go screaming from mountain tops about how wonderful and lovely Searchtrade and its keyword trading system is when a year after purchasing their keywords, facing renewal fees for said keywords, the site still hasn't officially launched.

Do you get my drift?

Maybe I'm just being too pessimistic.  Maybe I've grown a bit too cynical over the years, after being victim a few too many times to the ugly side of the human psyche (anger, greed, envy, lust, etc.).  Perhaps.

Or perhaps someone, somewhere, is pulling off a half-assed con, utilizing the easiest payment system to scam a worldwide market, feeding off of the hopes and faith of ignorant folk spanning all corners of the globe.  Perhaps.

Or perhaps not.  

Who to trust?  Some dude that has a small infra-structure of photos out there on the inter-web that makes it appear like a certain company exists, which could have been thrown together in a couple of hours by a single person, perhaps planned out a year or two ago?  Yourself?  Some other dude on the comments section, who's just as anonymous as the other dude?

Let's all make common sense common, together.  Realize the great risk that comes with this "play".

Realize that transparency is a real issue here with Searchtrade.com.

Realize that, in less than 3 months:

1.)  ST changed their pre-sale "slabs", and pricing increments for those slabs, AFTER people started to buy keywords.
2.)  ST still hasn't made it clear how much it will cost to renew keywords and, going off of recent track record, they may decide on some ridiculous renewal fee that will completely negate the potential rewards of paying a high amount of money for keywords early in the sale process, looking forward to company growth and ROI potential.  They also haven't made it clear, as far as I'm concerned, from what date the countdown to renewal begins (when keyword is purchased? from the launch date for people who bought them pre-launch?)
3.) ST failed to deliver on a promise to provide signature proof that they were (are) in possession of the bitcoin funds that they claim to have accumulated.

...and there is probably more that I'm missing.

All that we have to go off of right now is this, more or less, anonymous person's words and actions.  Seeing that the actions aren't aligning with earlier words, there's a good reason why people are having a difficult time trusting that this is all legit.

Time reveals all.

Hey Guys,

We have delayed the launch of searchtrade by a month. There are many reasons for doing so. Let me give you update on what they are and our plan moving forward.

1. Every search at searchtrade creates 5 transaction records that we need to store for eternity to keep track of all disbursements. We have been running scaled tests and finding some errors in our system that need to be rectified. This is important since it is the backbone of the system. Our developers have been at its taking longer than expected since its a complex build with lots of checks.

2. We are building our own widgets that would get triggered based on relevant search queries such as currency conversion, unit conversion, time zone etc they too are in final phase of testing and our developers are asking for some more time to complete their tasks.

3. We are building a auto query analyzer which essentially learns relevance of each query and spits out data on top of the page along with search results. E.G if you searched for 'Barrak Obama' it would fetch information from Wiki but if you search 'london weather' it will display local weather report from london and fetch data from another source. This we hope can be launched along with the first release.

I understand there are lot of people worried about this change in plan but it is going to be worth your while.

Thank you   

Issues or not you gave a date and time and had us pay for keywords that were supposed to be used by the time given.
This is likely a cash grab to gain more funds whether its for further development or not. I have already informed coinbase of this scam and they should be taking action soon. And will be contacting Singaporean government with all documentation and screen shots to have you license revoked. 449+ btc and just trying to gain more funds, will be also posting on all the scam adviser sites i can to inform people of this site service.

A real startup that does actual work doesn't waste time on putting up billboards or hiring a staff of 20+ people .
Maybe they are building the next Google !

Apparently, 44 more days to go now...with no mention of it anywhere or explanation for why they postponed the launch.

Another red flag.

I don't know why they'd put up a billboard ad, which I assume has and will continue to bring new people to their site, giving them and all the previous registered users and keyword purchasers the impression that it will launch in X days, only to postpone it by 20+ days once that launch date approaches.
 
What can those extra 20 days give them that could possibly offset all the anger and frustration that essentially lying about the launch date will create for their users?

This is the stage where this company must build TRUST within its user base and the fence sitters out there.

I have a feeling that this move just lost them a lot of fence sitters and has diminished any trust that registered users might have felt towards this operation and its management.

This certainly appears "scammish" at this time.

yet another big red flag. good work on finding this one. doubt there will be anything at all this year (or any other year)

Hello,


one question (sorry for my english, i'm german):

I thaught, that the keyword owner gets an quarter of the profit from the search.

Is this right or is it an fix amount?

For example, can the owner of the keyword "and" earn as much bitcoins as the owner of the Keyword "shopping" ??

Just so that there is no confusion we have only paid for printing of the ad the space is available to us for free since it's owned by a friend of ours who loves the Idea and wanted to help and associate with searchtrade. We still cannot afford to spend big bucks on advertising but hope someday we can . Thanx for some great comments guys.

You're receiving a lot of advertising from bitcoin news outlets right? (Newsbtc, cointelegraph and perhaps more) That shows that you are actually spending money in advertising, the sums are in question but that's not really the problem. The problem is that you've still showcased nothing more than a tech demo (that hasn't changed much since day one). No proof of concept of how it's going to be profitable but you're spending crowdfund money on ads before there's even any actual proof of your supposed product being what it's supposed to be.

Our first Billboard put up in hyderabad



so you're paying for ads although you don't have a working product? and still alpha/beta test?

makes zero sense to me.

Well nowadays companies almost have the product sold before actually coming out to the market so I don't know why it doest make sense to you

Really nice project looking forward launch!

no, nowadays companies still don't sell a demo. and they most likely won't pay for advertisement without a chance to make money back.

One of the best ways to do brand awareness is to promote your brand to get the public to ask themselves "What?" of course you promote your brand without a product launch, you need to lead a path with readyness...

If you are in business then you understand the term "Offsets" this is part of the offsets budget.
