I have come to the conclusion that this is a neatly organized scam.
Anyone with mediocre programming knowledge could:
- Create a demo GUI in Visual Studio, Node-Webkit, Qt, you get the idea.
- Make a small interactive socket server to send the details of the "transactions", or just use a service like pusher.com.
- Use an HTML template for a quick website.
For Christ's sake they're using a fucking GMail account for IPO investments. You couldn't even set up a Google Apps or Live mail server, seriously? All it takes is an MX record.
And don't try to pull the whole, we wanted to get this out as fast as possible card. If you're hunting down for sane investors, then you take your time to make sure everything is professional.
Until I see a functional demo, including an RPC interface or the console, or some screenshots of the GUI code I'm calling this a scam. I hope to god that you are open-sourcing this, because otherwise you would be so full of shit any noob coming here wouldn't believe you.
I see no mention of escrow. If you were serious about this coin release you'd have escrow details ready to go, meaning a trusted member of the community's word that he approves.
I want to see you download, MD5 verify the checksum of a known miner software, compile, run GUIMiner, CGMiner, or any of the equivalents and then start mining since the difficulty must be low and I must see unconfirmed coinbase transactions show up in your wallet.
Until then:

Thank you for your lengthy and informative post. The information regarding Escrows can be found here:

Were you accepting a custom made website 1-1.5 months before launch?

Exocoin has had a very successful IPO even with a sketchy image and delayed information releases
Regarding the several requests you have made we'll be working towards fulfilling the majority of them.
And you mentioned a demo? Not sure if you've taken a look at this one.
