Define "scam", please. Is it the classical "an innovative project" used on this forum or your own made-up definition?
It is not for me to define - it is for the board to define it it meets their classification of a scam/non scam.
To me anything ... innovative or otherwise can still be a scam if the distribution does not meet certain criteria.
That criteria is my own. Others will have their own.
All ICO should meet fair release criteria just like POW releases were at one time expected to.
You should have made far more effort with ICO advertising before and during the ICO after your experience with NXT.
NXT pulled this self enrichment scheme once before. The same people can not expect to pull it again.
The fact you may have 0.25% or less of the board with you now to afford a slight protection will certainly not be enough.
ICO here with no regulation and no transparency is open to huge manipulation. The onus should be on you and those running the ICO to show willing and desire to give open and fair opportunity to both examine and have time to digest the proposal and decide on investment.
It is impossible such a tiny distribution can succeed to persuade the rest of the board that a fair and open opportunity was given to all within reason.
You saying that about purchased accounts used for the ICO being of no consequence was a big mistake. The reason you gave or justification was an admission of guilt. You simply can't say it does not matter because the wider world will not find out and BTT does not matter. That is both incorrect and unethical.
I enjoy the profanity and silly pictures uploaded by your puppets but they will neither be able to change the facts nor will they help you and your scheme look any more professional. Only actions on your part can help your project now.
