I've got 150k xtrabytes yet am starting to feel like I'm getting duped
Then sell your XBY if you don't feel comfortable with it, they said from the start that the whitepaper will be released when everything is working. If you put some effort to read how all of this started then you would of understand why things are happening this way and if you have read it and still make these kind of comments then there is no way to help you.
By the way, having a whitepaper doesn't mean either that it will succeed. There are enough projects out there with whitepaper but still no working or 100% working product.
What is this nonsense? Stop trolling. Your post history says it all.
