AND BITCOIN CASH IS A SCAM? EOS IS A SCAM? BITCOIN IS A SCAM? DASH IS A SCAM? THERE WERE ALSO SHITHEADS FOR THIS PROJECT CALLING THEM A SCAM ...
BECAUSE OF SHITHEADS LIKE YOU THIS FORUM IS GETTING BAD PLACE.
tl;dr you don't know what thorough research means
P.S. There's more to life than making profit off of scams and ponzi schemes.
I know for fact that people were complaining and that there was a blacklist that was twice the size of the actual participants. I've been watching this from the start and thining very hard about whether or not I should join.
Was going to join when they introduce DeepSend originally, but the new rules changed everything so I'm staying out entirely because I don't like playing ponzis.
People were complaining after the first few rounds. Not initially. Initial acceptance was immediate after you wore the correct signature. It was literally instant acceptance.
Also Blacklist had nothing to do with rejected applicants. In fact, the people on the Blacklist were those that dumped their onions which was against the initial rules. Now with the new rules, there is no blacklist and even those previous dumpers can join again.
If the devs were planning an exit scam, why would they show their face and make hour long videos on youtube? Don't you think they would want to remain Anon? I'm not saying it's outside the realm of possibility but that would be a pretty dumb thing to do.
And with the new rules it doesn't matter if people get in easier or not, because you have to invest a significant amount of money to make any worthwhile return. All while carrying a tremendous risk.
And the devs haven't shown their face or shared their names.
The guy making the Youtube Q&As is just a random member that joined and ended up in the so called support group. He's not part of the dev team, so using him as a redeeming factor for DO's legitimacy isn't possible no matter how you twist or bend it.
And it's not about an exit scam. They will upkeep appearances of course.
But it's still a ponzi scheme in which they make money out of those who become aware of this "project" too late to know the whole story, as well as those who get fooled into buying Onions for "staking and promoting" (it's not an airdrop and there are no free Onions) by an army of paid shills.
