There is a scam accusation against TaaS ->
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/taas-ico-and-bounty-scam-1922777Please read and make your final judgement. I didn't joined their bounties so I'm not affected by the accusations against them. I still see some telling that they still haven't received their bounty. So I hope Samuel can get in touch with the user. Goodluck to TaaS and your project.
I understand how you can have concerns by this kind of accusations; but like many projects before; TaaS was, is, and will be a victim of FUD/SCAM alerts for many vague reasons.
The plan here is to prove things with actions; but some time is required for the team to perform that kind of moves. Rome wasn't built in one day; TaaS won't either; but we are putting all the best bricks together at the moment to make it's future as bright as possible.
Generally, I like TaaS, especially as an ICO/token that pushes deeper into "fund" territory, which should offer investors a different return profile than just holding Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, there are numerous red/yellow flags with TaaS:
- It is incredibly unclear whether their goal is to build Kepler, their home-brew "technology", which would value them like a technology business, or to "trade" to make profits
- Their ICO was filled with jargon, and not many clear and understandable arguments as to how they plan to create value
- Their "cryptographic audit" is uncertain, and will likely not present an easy to understand means for investors to actually figure out what the fund is doing. The biggest risk is that this is a string of trades, with no explanation
Once TaaS begins publishing returns and results, the tokens will likely quickly gain or lose demand in a very significant way. I have not invested in TaaS, and have no plans to purchase the tokens.
1. Kepler is ran by Patrick Salm and not by the trading team of TAAS. While it is a project within TaaS itself; it is managed and developed on another pillar. It will be a feature used by the team for the future investments of the token (let's remember that Kepler is a "child/fork" of a Bloomberg terminal) but it will also be available to the community as a valuable trading tool.
2. TaaS is a tokenized closed-end fund designed to reduce the risks and technical barriers of investing in the blockchain space. Built on a profit-sharing smart contract, TaaS introduces an innovative Token-as-a-Service business model, allowing investors to subscribe to the fund’s income stream. The Net Asset Value of the Token will increase not only by the need/demand of the market but also by the fact that 25% of the quarterly profits of project is reinvested in it.
3. The cryptographic audit was released today (

The featured daily snapshots of the investments are a way for our investors to follow the ongoing process. Every new investment made by the team is explained (Our first one being Mysterium

I hope I answered most of your concerns!
