I think you shouldnt tell anyone to start collecting without doing it in an official way. This gives a very unprofessional perception, as no one knows when people can start doing it, until when, how Jinn donators can recollect, should anyone really send real btc even if its a small amount for a testnet?, web with bugs still, etc.. There is nowhere to find all the conditions and instructions on collection.
Marketing wise this gives a very bad image, of doing things as they come without planning.
There is only one collecting if I read the sale conditions correctly. You can think that it's symbolical to praise god Crom.
I think Triangle should spend at least a bitcoin in someone advising marketing and giving a good image. It wont hurt the technical development and it will help the project overall.
Im pretty sure its a disaster telling the people to start collecting in forum post, a buggy website, without knowing if its testnet or not, until when they can do it, not having a reference page explaining what digits are allowed for the keypass (everyone will get notifications of digits being changed because everyone will use other numbers than 9 and symbols), but some posts randomly distributed in IOTA threads, and a long etcetera i dont want to think about because of how obvious it is...
What happens if someone generates an address whose pass has been modified for having numbers, and sends the btc amount to claim IOTAs? I guess those IOTAs will be linked to a IOTA address no one has the pass to access.
Dude... original post: 22nd december: collect.iotatoken.com
Today is the 22nd and the website works flawlessly for me. It could not be easier. Looks professional to me.
Yet you are like: website buggy, is it for testnet? Everyone will use other digits than 9. We don't know when to redeem.
Why so stressed? You have 90 days to collect the iotas. Imo there are many bad businesses (iota looks not like one of them so far), but there are also bad customers.
The customer is king, but that does not give him the right to act like a queen.
