It's easy to be a crook.

Especially with the internet and not having to reveal your face.

It's easier now more than ever.

If felix doesn't release code soon, we'll be $500k worth of suckers.

To pull off what felix has done so far(what we can see), he wouldn't even have had to leave his day job.

P.S. I retweeted on twitter- whatever that is worth

Well said.

I’m not a techie and I’m very late to crypto, so I didn’t know what the wallet should look like.  It definitely appeared bare bones, but I didn’t know if this was just what it appears like in its raw state and then you put on a graphically appealing user interface later on. 

In the early stages, I had high hopes for this project and shared those with Felixando in PMs. I donated a reasonable amounts earlier on, too. But as I know from being a program manager, best wishes and hope are not a plan. Couple that with questionable moves regarding donations vs. escrow, Twitter account announcements,  posting the image of an application on Binance...all before there’s any code?!?  Not looking good. This would be a shame for it to have been bogus.

 And if it is bogus… How do people really live with themselves being crooks?

Fonship, I feel the same way.

I felt fortunate to have found this thread early on and created an account specifically to participate here.  I’ve donated twice so far, but definitely have my doubts about the validity of this project.

There’s still a few pages of posts I haven’t read, but without code being published that people can evaluate, I can’t donate any more.

quite curiosity,whats your official website ,and roadmap?

Lookin to this project with interest from the beginning....but...a BIG BUT...never donate anything without seeing at least some piece of code. Too many newbie and new account in the list of donations, so I think that it's time to see something more than a conversation here or a tweet. Really happy to see some of the people who donated that get their stone coins...

all the accounts posting here are newbies. is that a coincidence that all the people on the list are newbies?

I can assure you I’m not a fake account or newbie, this is a very exciting project for me and I have indeed donated and will share testnet experience once live, I have also found the poster helpful and professional so you are aware.

Hi community, as requested i will be answering a question i have been getting quite regularly;

What is the current marketcap and how much has currently been donated?

For transparency purposes i have done the minor calculations; currently with Bitcoin, Ethereum,RaiBlocks, Cardano, Monero & Litecoin current/sold trading rate, there has been a total of $539,000 USD raised, with individual tx history depicted in the original post. Currently with donations making up for 30% of the predicted supply (150m coins), the total market cap is currently $1,770,800, with 0.0000014 satoshi per coin, that being said it is subject to change with additional donations before the donation period ends today 9th February 2018 8PM GMT (in ~8.5hours time)


Please do not panic or stress to obtain coins, there will be time in the future to obtain Stone off exchanges. Looking forward to a bright year ahead with you all.

This is an important question - a lot of people have XRB stuck on exchanges (and I coincidentally am one of them; although hopefully when Binance is back up withdrawals will be enabled again).

You have last day to donate lol.

Felixandro, I'm write earlier about test network, and duplicate question: "Can I participate to it"?

I'm also a real human.

If it helps you, I'm real too.

Yes, right now it is just under 11 hours until the opportunity to donate closes. This is NOT a call to donate, that is something everyone has to consider for themselves but rather a reminder for those who want to donate so they don't leave it too late.

Felixando, please let us know the total amount donated (preferably in US$) after the donations close. Again, I urge you to consider erc20 tokens for those who donated and it will also allow for easier payment to people who contribute to the project and for rewards.
 

I really like how this is all working together. Today is the last chance to donate right?

I think the same as you do. I also wanted to donate, but I tried to contact felixando before. I have offered to build a website free of charge, I have asked four times in total if I am allowed to participate in the testnet and have never received any answer. In addition, I doubted the distribution and suggested a different kind of distibution. Because in the plan of the distribution can already be seen that this was built to collect as many donations as possible. In addition, we will have some whales after the distrubution, which can quite simply drive a pump and dump scheme at the exchanges. This will provide an incredibly high level of volatility and make the coin uncertain and unpredictable for new investors. I said so about four times, but you know what has happend ^^

Then there was someone who uploaded a screenshot for a possible wallet. Thank you for your effort and your certainly great work. But the thing looks like it's from 1998. Of course, it's a bit more modern than the design of the former RaiWallet (there was a copy here for Stone), but seriously. That looks medieval. We live in the year 2018. The design alone should be argument enough to use the Stone Wallet. You can not get excited about that. Honestly. But no matter. The consequence: member of the "design team" (LOL).  I do not want to do your job bad and it's not meant personally. Believe me

Then there is someone who markets a product via Twitter that does not exist. Anyone who works in marketing probably will know that this is a bad or at least a very risky move to advertise in advance for something that may not even work or exist. Who knows? I hope that felixando and his team will do a lot, because DAG and privacy will be THE thing of the coming time. But people: First, take one step and then the next. This is heavily marketing, but the developer is afraid to upload code, because the it is possibly not quite ready yet? For real?

Furthermore, it is completely stupid to apply with something at Binance, of which one does not know if it will finish properly or even works. Finally, felixando recently said that the code is not ready yet and that's why he did not publish it to GitHub. But apply to Binance? Why? Would it not be better to test first in the testnet and to make sure that the coin is stable, and AFTER that to carry out the distribution and to apply parallel?

I'm looking forward to Stone. But I'm still skeptical, because obviously there is no real plan, the design of the wallet looks relatively shabby and announcements are made that are far too early. The only plan that seems to work is donating. That works. And whenever a donation is made or it is claimed that Stone could be scam, felixando becomes active here. Otherwise you do not hear a word from him. If I were the developer or community manager of the coin, I would probably talk non-stop with you about technical possibilities, distributions, roadmaps and much more. Constantly.

Now the team should have become aware of my contribution. So here's my fifth attempt to apply for the testnet. I would like to be there. Thank you

Is this the official website or something you have been doing on your own terms? Why does it link to a different Twitter channel than the one approved by felixando? Are you in contact with felixando for creating this website and social media channels?

 

I am real (lol) and I am on that test net list, but haven't donated. I am waiting for see the testnet in action before handing over some money.

I agree with both you. I have been watching this project since long and participating in forum as well.
Now first, i think that testers list is filled with too many newbie account, mostly dummy accounts. So they might have been using other accounts to post on forum. Giving them benefit of doubt and based on how things work here.

Now, 2nd part is i am very concerned about. I wanted to donated, but same things stopped me as well. There was wallet UI posted, which was very well done, than Binance listing image and than twitter compaign - so far project never shown desperation for donation but keeping in mind that this happend in very end days of donation, create a doubt that is it that team is trying to push people for donation.
It could be planned thing and they might have thought of having benefit to get more donation, and it ended up giving us signaling that it could be scam as well.

Time will tell, I can afford to loose so I have no problem in donating but I am principally against promoting something which could be scam.

Time will tell and still i am 50-50% divided on my own analysis over these last weeks, but at this time i am ready to buy later by paying more rather than putting donation now.
