I just got done listening to a "blockchain dynamics" podcast that very briefly covered the hosts first impressions of Janus (they only looked at the bitcointalk thread) and in my opinion the brief review of our project was extremely misrepresented and uninformed.
Since this is an open forum I'll be open and state they claim the explanation of our project was an "information overload." I find this interpretation extremely troubling. People who are looking at large business projects like Janus should have as much information as possible before making a decision to buy tokens...or anything for that matter. The host even went on to say there were red flags without even doing any due diligence whatsoever.
Those in public media (no matter how tiny your platform) should really understand the content they are talking about before publishing it.
As a part of this awesome team I feel it's best to state that our work in this bitcoin industry speaks for itself alone. The work history we have given is just extra assurance that we can perform the hard work ahead.
We have endured scrutiny from the blockchain community and handled thousands of users accounts and funds the past 17 months. Please, I'm asking this as a personal favor, read everything you can find before ever making investments into anything in life. This goes for anything in this industry and outside it.
When we first made it known our intentions to launch Janus, it was late summer this year when contacting the Nxt foundation to begin discussions. We had several conference calls with their team and ours. Which then resulted in both parties understanding the level of professionalism between us. The Nxt foundation guards its reputation very closely and if the Janus team had not given them a solid project to escrow I can assure you they would never have agreed to our escrow.
After you look over everything, we invite you to come join us in Slack, the community leveled many great questions at us and it's all public to look over. We hope you join us and celebrate each milestone of our business creations we have planned as they launch.
Hi Bjorn,
Thanks for taking the time to write this. We understand that you were disappointed by our first impression of the Janus project on the show. The format of the show means that on the first week we look at a coin we usually give it a pretty hard time while scrutinizing the post on bitcointalk. These are brief segments and are not intended to be in depth reviews. We have other parts of the show, including our "second look" segment, where we are able to take more in depth looks at coins. We also invite project leaders onto the show to tell us exactly what they are working on.
In regards to calling your post "information overload", we can understand that might have not been what you wanted to hear, but we hope you can accept it as constructive criticism rather than feel you are simply being undermined. We look at a ton of posts and are just being honest about the impression they give us.
Thanks again for your comment, we wish your project the best of luck.

I wouldn't pay them much mind. I listened to their short section on LIR and couldn't stop laughing. LIR is a prime example of everything you said in this post (people should know what they are investing in), and the way that podcast described it shows that the show hosts are just talking out of their ass (at least in that specific case).
This guy gets it
