Would be interesting if iconomi invests in equibit.org

Without escrow investment in any ICO would be risky no doubt they are talented persons but we need security first for our invested money. Better ask for escrow before make any investment.

Is this true? There is no escrow? If so, can you please elaborate on why this is?

I was planning to invest but without escrow I think I wont

Though we respect the use of escrow - when we look at what escrow really is, it doesn't make much sense for a startup like ours to do this when we've previously raised a successful seed round.

From our blog post: "Investors want escrow because they think the company cant be trusted. Companies use escrow as a tool to gain trust, but there are better ways. Having a great and experienced team. Working with the right business partners (youre judged by the company you keep) and demonstrating a passion for your product and commitment to delivering it are all far greater indicators of trustworthy team. Needless to say, if escrow is the only thing standing between you and buying an ICO, you shouldnt be buying it."

We certainly recommend anyone considering participating in an ICO to do their own due diligence, we believe in being transparent which is why we've released full details on our previous fundraising.

In truth, escrow does no guarantee that the project will be successful as escrow agents do not provide due diligence. There have been many projects that have used escrow which have failed.

We believe in having a solid team with previous experience, a well thought out development plan, strategic business partners, and following through on our commitments.

Why are you not using escrow? is this similar to ICONOMI?I think not using an reputed escrow is the reason this has not gain many investors.

We are not like iconomi. And we are not using escrow for the reason that we have built the infrastructure needed to collect purchaser information and payment and so the primary purpose of using an escrow agent has already been dealt with.

This project is trading plaform, right?

This is a trading platform, issuing platform, and investor relations platform in one. The main value proposition is that we allow companies to release their shares in a decentralized fashion on the blockchain and be able to manage this process from issuing to investor communications themselves.
