Why are ye moaning??? They've had problems and they are making them right. They have kept us updated on this the whole way. Stop your whining and negativity.
^^ Comes to a thread called 'is Electroneum a SCAM', complains that people are calling it a scam. Just, wow.
It's a question.
Is ETN a scam?
Answer: NO, I don't think it's a scam.
Why: It's a UK based company, they welcome everyone to their headquarters to see how they're working their butts off to get the failed launch going asap. You can find youtube videos of several people who actually went there. They've hired one of the best internet security companies in the world to do a full scan and if necessary fixes. They're actively updating on social media, they're not trying to hide from us. These are all very positive signs!
So YES, under-prepared 1st launch.
But NO, not a scam.
Like all ICO's, you can win or lose money if you've invested here.
To me it feels like there are loads of people for whom this was their first ICO, and they thought this would go 10x - 50x within days and now feel angry or disappointed that they're not rich yet. But that doesn't mean that they won't get their ETN's within a few weeks.. and from there it's game on, good luck everyone..
You do not have to do much research on google to know that the united kingdom has become the home of HYIP's and scam sites.
But this is not the point, the point is that the project has a good idea? No doubt! However, no one sees anything beyond the idea plan and mining simulations completely challenging the blockchain network.
I do not think 100% is a premeditated SCAM. I think it was thought idealistically and very poorly executed. The guys were not able to keep their account safe on the first day! This is very bizarre for anyone who wants to revolutionize the art of mining! Everyone today has doubts if they have the least capacity to execute a minimum percentage of the original idea.... let's be realistic!
I think they are not sure what to do ... they are lost and when this happens with 55 million dollars (current btc), I think that already must be rethought the plan, at least in the minds of some. I've seen this happen in some ICOs ...
I perfectly understand the affliction who invested their savings in this section many of them driven by the great pressure of digital media via youtubers ... I am sorry but I see no future in the execution although the idea is interesting and challenging... not for those rich jumbled guys!
