Clarifications;
Because of the respect I have for Vericoin holders, I have kept to myself internal disagreements that I had with nosker. One of them was Iconic Expert. Unfortunately at some point before the mintpal hack, Iconic Expert was in talks with Pnosker. When I found out, I spoke to Pnosker about it and I told him that I didn't want to be associated with anything this character did. I had invested my money on dev, promo and a PR firm for the coin and only after the coin was moving in price this character decided to get involved. I also had lined up a PR firm and after they did some research and saw tweets from the man they backed out. At that point I stood by because of my total respect for effectstocause and other members. I continued to hold vrc but I just personally had to disassociate myself from promoting. This IE character was one of the reasons I also moved away from BlackCoin as he had taken donations from members and never refunded them for an event he was supposed to do. I was getting burned while helping others succeed and for these and other reasons, I decided to make my own project. This has been a huge investment on my part. It has been lots of work from day 1, for me and our dev team, almost 24hrs a day. I make sure things get done, special devs get paid for their work and that goals are met. To this day almost everything that has been laid out we have delivered, and I'm very proud of that. Im in this 100% there is nothing else. My prior investments have been a learning experience for me. I've learned allot about this place and it has made me stronger in the belief of block chain development. I also know that it is not all about the coin but also about the dev team. For this reason I have laid out my life out in the open. I want to maintain my respect for other communities and leave disagreements in the past. Now is the time to focus in the present and the future of our work for I/O Coin.
ps. If anyone has any questions, feel free to pm me
Thank You
Again, much respect, Wiz. I understand why you would keep this information from the community at the time, but you have to admit that it acted as a double-edged sword. While I now fully understand the reasons of your choices then, it would've probably been best to have given the VRC community full disclosure. As a spectator at the time, it didn't sit well with me at all how the number one promoter just kind of begins to dissassociate from the coin. I was just a spectator, I can only imagine what the investors were thinking. Then here comes IOC with the same dedication & committment we all know Wizrig to have, but the whole VRC fiasco left a bad taste in a lot of people mouths.
I cannot state enough how much respect i have for you and what you are trying to do for Crypto as a whole, and I hope you understand that I'm not trying to cause FUD or whatever. I'm calling it how I see it in regards to the situation with IOC. With this clarification, I hope you continue to do as you do and continue working hard on IOC putting this coin on the pedestal where it belongs. Good luck to everyone involved..Wizrig, investors, dev team, etc..
On a side note, IconicExpert IS a piece of shit.
