I heard ICOCountdown is trying to collect payment to be listed on his site from several coins. Those who don't pay he tries to dig up dirt... I used to listen to ICOcountdown to give good advice but I don't think he's someone to be trusted to be honest. All of the devs on the Rise team have come out and revealed who they are. I've talked personally with many of them. Do your own research and don't rely on others to tell you what's real and what's not. Just my 2 cents.
I think the Rise team would be wise to reach out to ICOCountdown and provide a response to the reasons he outlines for de-listing them. He even invites them to do so. I would hope he would be open to listening to what they have to say.
When I first read about the de-listing, I have to admit it really negatively impacted the way I looked at the project. But as I've thought about it more, the complaints or "charges" he makes really aren't that serious and seem to have at least some explanations behind them that could really mitigate or neutralize their impact.
Also, after following this thread for awhile, it's pretty clear that the developers are focused and diligent in providing daily updates. It appears they are acting in good faith. It certainly doesn't have the feel of a "scam" project like others that ICOCountdown has de-listed.
I agree that good marketing will be key to the success of this project both now in the ICO and in the future. I think reconciling with ICOCountdown would be a good first step. Reach out. Provide a detailed response to his concerns. Invite him to monitor this thread and see firsthand the constant work and communication that is on display here. Turning that situation around will probably benefit the bottomline return of the ICO as much as any other single thing you can do right now.
Just my suggestion.
