Topic: [PRE-ANN] Stone - DAG Data-Structured Private Cryptocurrency - page 26. (Read 42214 times)

What does Manta have to do with us?  I hope no one thinks that they are related because a website listing a currency called Stone (which isn't related to this thread, felixando or our currency) is identical to Manta.

As far as "the same thing happening here" - felixando said that he wasn't locking the thread - so how is that "the same thing".  As far as collecting half a million dollars, like my 500 dollar donation - half a million is diddaly-fuck in the crypto world.  Had he setup donations differently/distribution differently he could have several million, bare-minimum.  Half of the ICOs around are collecting 50+ million now.  An advertised DAG Privacy coin could have easily hit 50 million.

Edit: Grammar

 Well Manta locked the thread after proposing that they will release an ERC 20 token while they work out the problem with their code, and the same thing is occurring here. I wish this is legit for the sake of you dummies that contributed for well versed words. I mean there is no github commits, no source code. Absolutely nothing.  And if am not mistaken he collected over half a million dollars.

 I don't mind been the nice guy in this space but lately i been wondering if i have been playing it all wrong, and if i should move over to the dark side. It seem like most of you dummies love the idea of been led to the slaughterhouse while the whistle blowers get berated and labeled as a cancer to the scene.

I like the idea of ERC-20 tokens.  Would creating the tokens delay the initial launch at all?

Dude Donations are over (there is no more reason for felixando to be here if it is a scam).  He told people initially that donating would not guarantee any coins and that it should be considered just that - A donation.  At that point I knew that worst-case scenario I would be among the first to know when this hit an exchange so I didn't really care if I got any coins back.  I sent him 500 dollars to help him out with whatever he needed - Now 500 dollars isn't a lot in the crypto community but its a lot for me so whatever.

After he announced that people sending donations would receive coins the donations spiked, and so did questions about distribution.  People sending money wanted to know how many coins they were getting - eventually it was announced that people donating would get a minority of the coins.  People in this thread were bitching about it saying that they should get a higher percentage - felixando's answer "Creating a higher coin distribution for donators will only cause more donations and diminishing returns for investors." At this point he has *intentionally and explicitly* done things that have tried to keep donations lower than they otherwise could have been - If he's a scammer that's a pretty shitty scam, don'tcha think?

Through a PM he refused *more money* from me.  Again, he's a pretty shitty scammer if he is refusing money.

Now here we are - after donations are over - this is the point where felixando would have disappeared were this to have been a scam.  Instead he is back giving us updates.  Fuck what other bitcointalk.org users are saying and think - basic *BASIC* logic shows that at this point the likelyhood of this being a scam is minuscule.

I hate the word FUD - people sound like cultists when they start saying it.  I gotta say here buddy at this point in the project the "its a scam" arguments are just blatant fucking FUD.  What kind of scammer closes donations, refuses money, sets the scam up to receive as small of donations as possible and returns after the scam is over with project updates?

Give it a fucking break.

wow, those two links.

now, i have been following this stone thread since page 3 i think. i check in every few days and get caught up.

what is the background on those two links, for manta and stone? they are the exact same websites with different names and colors!

because i have not invested, i am not freaking out but yeah, guys. really. do not send this guy any more money.

here is my take on this stone situation. at first i thought, maybe, there is a 10% chance this is all legit and then an even smaller chance that the project can become a reality. now i am .01% chance this is all legit. anything is possible so i will give it .01% chance. i have appreciated reading the whole thread and will continue to do so as i have gained a lot of knowledge and a new appreciation for xrb/nano as people have spoken so highly of their dev team. i have also learned how to better be careful as i research new crypto, especially super extra new crypto. i also learned a whole lot about zksnarks. so, i will continue to follow and check in from time to time. but guys, please, hold on to your coin. apologies to felix as this can always turn out to be legit but there has really been nothing done here to gain any trust. if this is legit, buddy, you have stumbled backwards into every possible method to lose trust in a majority of people following this thread.

i will continue following. and i will certainly invest when there is something worth investing in, even if i have to buy it off binance.

be safe and be gentle to others.

Is this live yet? when are the airdrops? any community links?

every official was confirmed here in the thread

I think it posted somewhere by the dev and even the maker of sites ,that they are not official sites..(but some enthusiast made them )

This guy had made the sites for Stone,Manta and even Azerium

and this is the link to profile https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/dreamcurrency-1717993

just look at the creation dates of the threads....

What's up with these websites? Who made them?
Both source codes are practically the same.

Do you need anymore testnet volunteers?

It's probably a good idea to remove the donation addresses from OP, so that you don't have to deal with unhappy people that send you funds after the deadline.

I like the idea of the project! I hope that Stone will be successful! Therefore I want to offer the small sum.

Props to the people who have been calling this out as a scam.

Everyone interested in Stone should have a look through this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pre-ann-manta-dag-zksnarks-fast-fee-less-private-cryptocurrency-2696095

Thanks for the  heads up Felixando

LOL Damn near verbatim. The next step will be to lock the thread. And you dumbass donated several hundred thousands dollars to this guy. He probably cleared a million dollar from the two threads. SMFH. Sheeps will always be sheeps

Felixando, why is our first page not updated with donation dead line ended and removed the donation addresses yet? If you are loyal to the community you should have done that first and updated the code with what you got to the community and give some time lines what to expect for near future. No one expecting you to give complete product but whatever you got until now you could post in front of your believers, critics, donators and whole Stone community, you don't have to do go after every post and spend time to convince everyone. I hope you understand the community stand point and give some proof of real work "Again real work don't include nice graphics, websites, social channels to create for advertisements etc".

Mr. Felixando will launch testnet anytime soon, You worrying about Developer getting accident or anything similar is pointless at this stage. In this industry anything can happen you can't predict future let's hope all goes well. Anyways i am hoping he is looking out to hire one other developer he mentioned in his post previously if you followed the thread it's over whelming for him to do all by himself so i hope he is working on that lines too.

As previously mentioned i am not convinced in tweeting our project in twitter without having product that will only loose a good opportunity for our product to introduce in to the  community of Twitter, With this act they will only come and see the thread and can see nothing but some conversations and no product and they never show interest in it, rather we should do once we have a product so whoever come in here by following link will become strong Stone follower and may be a invester.

But anyways i don't want to loose any opportunity of not gaining as many as Stone coins as possible, if Felix could able to complete the project as claimed so i re tweeted Thru Tweet Handle:"worldtokenindex" but like i said we will never gain any benefit out of this route at this stage of the project. We really need working project before we start any channels like Discord, Telegram, Reddit, Medium but We certainly need "Github" with lots of code, Hope Felix understands and realizes the same. I really wish him success with this project.

As expected , step by step.

I would like to know if there are alpha/beta testers which have been invited to test around to confirm that there is a workable pre-version available. I very like the idea of Stone but I have always doubts if there is only one developer. I think he is honest, but what happens if has an accident for instance?
