Ok IOTa is permissioned ledger. So what? Why does it matter?

Is permissioned ledger same thing as private blockchain?

never have I seen so many sock puppets and posting ninjas promoting one scheme.

why hide... be yourself. Only shame can explain this stealth posting.

Im right here. No hiding. Guess what? No one cares about all your trolling, crybaby.

For those just tuning in...

Cryptohunter knew about this "stealth" ICO. The PROOF is the fact that he actually posted in more than one Iota thread prior and during the ICO.

As we can all plainly see, he's not too bright. He didn't invest.

Then, he begged incessantly for a 2nd ICO. When he didn't get his way, he tried to convince the Iota devs to change their mind by creating a poll. When that didn't work, that's when he started trolling, making silly topics, and becoming an all out pest.

Regardless of proven facts, he continues to push the theory that the ICO was "hidden" from the public.

He talks about how there were no Iota threads on the "main board" even when his posts are in them.

He seems to think a story in CoinTelegraph is non-existent.

The ICO wasn't long enough even though it lasted a MONTH.

He says it has poor distribution while it had over 300 investors and raised over $500,000 dollars.

He refers to a poll that has an imaginary 50% of the voters saying that Iota is a scam. And...you guessed it... there isn't one.

All of this while Iota has been mentioned by Forbes magazine, has received a grant, and was added to Microsoft Azure before it even launched. And there is more.

If he would just spend his energy doing some chores around the house and cleaning his room in the basement, maybe his mother would give him some money so he could invest in his prized Iota.

He could still make a killing.

Instead he rants and raves about its value being 30x the ICO price. If he would spend some time learning more about the potential of IOT and how Iota will play a big part in it, he would still be able to make 100 times his investment by the end of the year.

But no, he will stick his fingers in his ears and yell, nah nah stealth scam NXT2 - NXT3 etc etc and then bitch that Iota stole his Xmas!!

So now you're up to date on the Cryptohunter debacle!!

I will reply to each of your points one at a time.

1. Cryptohunter knew about this "stealth" ICO. The PROOF is the fact that he actually posted in more than one Iota thread prior and during the ICO.

No the ICO was not mentioned at the time I commented in the thread. At that time people were being told not to ask about how to go about buying them....By the time I checked back it was over.
Also the fact the ICO was under advertised and attracted 20 X less than other big ICO is not dependent only myself. What does it matter about 1 person. I am stating a fact that it was under advertised in general and on purpose. So that it could be pumped after and ransomed of for 3000% more than it was sold for first time around. The price being demanded is a testament to this fact. How else can you pumpers and scammers be demanding 3000+ sats for 130sats coins? that is as great a price rise as ethereums ico tokens?? your only claim to fame is using dag? that has not even been proven a viable concept for basing a token??

2. Then, he begged incessantly for a 2nd ICO. When he didn't get his way, he tried to convince the Iota devs to change their mind by creating a poll. When that didn't work, that's when he started trolling, making silly topics, and becoming an all out pest.

I stated it was only the right thing to do and give the other forum members that never heard about the ico because the advertising on this board was so terrible and stealthy UNTIL AFTER THE ICO WHEN ALL THE PUMPERS STARTED TO ADVERTISE IT HOURLY ON THE MAIN BOARD. I suggested give the other members of the forum that were interested a chance to invest at 130sats or even 100% higher prices like 260 sats. It would broaden distribution and raise more funds for the project. NO NO NO they all scream? why?? because we don't want a broader distribution and larger community and more dev funds??? why you may ask I mean it wasn't released? the reason is simple they want to dump it on everyone else for 3000% profits or now they are talking about mugging everyone else for 200000% profits.

3.He says it has poor distribution while it had over 300 investors and raised over $500,000 dollars.

WOW - all other ICO have raised MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars. That is a tiny amount now you are all dreaming of billion dollar coins LOL
Maid raised millions, ethereum raised millions, lisk raised millions. 20x, 30x more than you stealth ico.

On top of this I would doubt even 300 people invested. In fact I may start a POLL. If you invested in IOTA post your username. I would wager most will be sock puppets or those with long periods of inactivity since they are older sock puppets used for a previous scam probably nxt. I bet we could hardly get 200 real users on this board that invested.

4. All of this while Iota has been mentioned by Forbes magazine, has received a grant, and was added to Microsoft Azure before it even launched. And there is more.

Oh dear the azure project. Wow that old chestnut is getting old now I think we established it means little. Forbes article? the one bitshares was mentioned in too along with a few other coins?? I think forbes has mentioned a few coins in its time.

5.He refers to a poll that has an imaginary 50% of the voters saying that Iota is a scam. And...you guessed it... there isn't one.

This part is critical and proves the extent to which Iota pumper accounts are worried about this. The poll existed at at the time As soon as I brought attention to this fact the votes for all other coins (because you could vote for multiple coins) started growing and growing and soon iota was only like at 30%. Strange thing that all of a sudden lots of people went to the polll and voted for all other coins with very few now voting for iota?

What follows now though shows even more how serious the pumping issue is on the main board.

I started a poll. The original options were

a - iota should have a 2nd ico for fair opportunity for those that didn't hear about the ico due to poor advertising.
b - no i think paying 3000% mark up already is okay
c - no iota is a scam from the next people.

I then asked if people could leave their username if they voted b so I could see if these were iota people voting or others.

it was like

a - 11 votes
b - 23 votes
c- 15 votes

but you guessed it....nobody left a post to say they voted b?? So I suspected all iota voters right?

So I change the poll to more accurately represent what people are actually voting for. It is now obvious that only iota people were voting on option b before but neglecting to leave their names.

Polls on this board have to run a very long time and I would love to see a feature for displaying usernames next to votes.

I remember when I and then a few others joined in and started a campaign against dark coins instamining and minting slashing and Evans put a poll about air dropping 3M tokens for free to all board members that were here on this board at the start of the launch. Can you believe it was an open poll that ran for a few hours and somehow dark scammers managed to vote not in favour?? they put up more votes that the entire board could even though they would have got free airdropped coins for nothing. I actually think Evans would have honestly done it if he wasn't bullied by the other dash whales. The dark market crashed hard that day he gave in and said he would.

6. Yes it is run by the original NXT people ....they should have gone that extra mile to make sure it was given a broader distribution this time. Instead they made it one of the smallest ico's of recent times.

As I told your sock puppet pals. There is no point trying to discredit me. It makes no difference if I am the devil. It will not change the facts that the ICO was not advertised as other big ICO's have been. It also does not even afford a POW period of distribution as ethereum does. This is ethereum that people are calling one of the biggest pumps of all time?? you scam coin has already pumped as much as ethereum has over ICO price and still you believe it is not a scam? it offers what except using DAG as the concept for the token?? it's not even on exchange or proven to function as yet and you think the pump should be = to ethereum already? and you are telling people it can go up another 30x. So it will apparently be a pump 3000% greater than ethereums pump? wow ethereum ico investors will look like paupers time you scammers take you scam profits.

I hope someone makes a different DAG token and does a proper advertised ICO and I Own Tons Assholes led by the Criminal From Belarus will not get to scam the board and small investors out of even more BTC than they did with NXT1. NXT2 (iota) can be a lesson to future insta ico scammers.
