its because this is an offshoot project from the same people who ran paycoin foundation (1 year comedy gold watching from the sidelines)... the people who miserably failed to produce stuff they promised like shops, crypto ccs and what not. why would ion be any different. lofty promises as in the past

but there is something they noticed while working on paycoin. they could ask for money and produce nothing. their userbase is shrinking tho and soon they will fade away. even some of their hardcore fans feel fleeced
