Wow that (lie) fully explains why eth, maid, lisk, waves, etc all had magnitudes greater initial distribution.
Let's first discuss why you lied that you hadn't known about Iota sale so you had been unable to take part in it. After that we'll move ahead, I already have an answer ready for you.
huh? still you try to divert with this item of personal interest rather than focus on the far larger picture??
I never said I had not heard of iota, only that I had not heard the crowd sale had started and finished. If you recall I had great issues like my account being hacked at the time and since I'd only recently been told not to even ask when the ico would start it seemed to suggest it would be way way in the future. Anyway I await your answer on both questions posed.
compare to all large ICO's and we'll hear you answer
I am specifically interested in why you did not employ a signature campaign since this is by far the most effective manner of advertising on this board. Rather you told me you did not want to raise more funds than you had?
Another point of interest is why this is not on exchanges yet? what's stopping it being sold on the free market right now?
I simply do not want to hear it was because of the ethereum hysteria other ico's did way better than iota and distributed better than iota. what about nem and maid, even ethereum itself?
You of all persons after being with the nxt team so tight should have known to make sure the initial distribution was a great as possible. You did not make sure of that at all.
The thing about this is you could have just kept a ton like ethereum devs but been straight about it and gave everyone else on the board a chance to be involved at a level playing field. Doing it this way you give a tiny minority and yourselves opportunity to manipulate the entire market and force the majority to buy in at 33x the ico price. This is not fair and iota should be made a pariah coin as example to others trying the same thing.
When you start your next project just keep a ton of coins for development and reasonable self enrichment but give a fair opportunity to the entire board to buy in at the ico price if they choose to do so.
I am not interested in making it a personal issue with me and neither should you be except if you want to divert from the bigger and more important picture. You are meant to be explaining to the entire board why they did not hear about your ico but heard about every other single big ico since then and are now forced to buy your tokens at 33x ico price.
