You coin holders out there hang onto your iotas, unless they are going to pay the market rate.

Just the fact that they are able to buy in a large chunk, which would be a hassle to do on an exchange is bending over for these guys enough. The fact that these individuals are kept a secret before the deal is already made also speaks volumes.

If they believe in Iota are really going to help it they can pay what anyone else would pay. The fact that they demand a discount is worrisome. We can do without them. They want in they can pay like everyone else. Especially jl777 (still a great guy btw)

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You are the first IOTA holder I have met with such a non-productive line of thinking.

Of course I don't know all the details, they are not public knowledge yet. But by the time it is, it will be too late.

They will also gain much more than us, we will not gain more than them. Is it jl777?

No, this is much bigger than Jl777. While Jl777 and his project is big in terms of the niche altcoin world, his projects are not known on a global scale by the outside world, these guys are. And just to make it even easier to understand: I have spoken with Jl777 (he's already a big holder of IOTA) about this deal and he's very open to it, of course needing more details, but he understand the value of it.

What about the unclaimed Iota's? Last I heard there we're ~11-12 million. If this is such a huge deal, maybe have the community vote on using the unclaimed iota's for this purpose?

We got other plans for most of those and it's no longer 11 million either.

Again: this is an offer for the community to choose how much they want IOTA to grow, IOTA is not magic beans.
