Hi all, I feel that I am a little late to the party on BCT, but figured id join up and at least make a post or two to start getting my post count up. In full disclosure, I hold quite a bit of Bytecent (and other coins not relevant to this convo) that I both purchases at ICO, during the refund, and from trading. I also mined some, but not as much as I have purchased.
In all fairness, I agree that Bytecent has had its challenges, and will continue to do so, but so have many other coins. True scamcoins are born each week, (my noodlyapendage coin wallet actually synced last week for christs sake) but it is my personal belief that Bytecent is not one of them.
While the effectiveness of IE's ideas can be debated, the fact remains that he IS dedicated to the project. If you look at the charts, BYC is trading above ICO, there are nearly double the volume in bid than asks, and the price suppression seems to have ended. You may call it foolish and risky, but I would rather invest in a coin that at least HAS a known dev, that has remained active for well over 2 months.
Last I checked, scam artists don's stick around after the price falls, and they also don't offer refunds. If people want to start crying about a scam, lets talk about cryptodouble, and the 2K+ BTC they made off with. I bet anyone 100 BYC to find out who that/those devs are, and another 200 BYC they wont be offering any refunds.
I also understand the concerns about the wallet being closed source, but that was known from day 1, well before the ICO started. I personally don't have a problem with it. I also know that other peoples experiences may be different, but I have installed the latest wallet on several different hardware, and VM's, and have not been able to substantiate the claims of malware/addware that some have make. Sure, there are third party offers, Sure, I find that annoying in ANY installer, but there was always an option to opt out. I accept that these are only my observations, but also please understand that I can only trust what I have personally seen and/or tested.
But, without further ado, have a good day, and don't rip my first post to pieces
Prove your not as bad as some make BCT out to be.
