Wrong. What you're quoting is not the initial page but a page between the many edits required to have the realtime stakeholder amounts display properly.
This was the original ICO page before and during beginning of the funding
http://heatledger.com/icobak.htmThe 1M developer reward was also stated on this thread's opening post from the early stage and has been there since then. At all times has it been prominently visible on either one or both of these sources. The reward process is fully transparent and has been discussed and referred to many times in this thread openly.
Initially we planned the distribution
without any developer reward, however this was changed shortly before launch due to weighted opinions from the fintech startup scene and some incidents that lead us to the decision of the moderate incentive reward with lock-in period.
We had already made a preliminary agreement with a very well known and successful frontman / promoter / marketer from the cryptocurrency field to lead the HEAT venture, when he decided to step back at the last minute stating as the main reason the lack of incentive for the startup and that no serious crypto platform would launch without significant dev reward. Combined with the feedback from the traditional startup field, requiring clear signs of commitment in the form of such reward incentives, we had to change this yet had to launch without the marketing frontman. That deficiency has been affecting the HEAT PR since then and is only to be corrected now that we're hiring the most appropriate marketing person through strict scrutiny.
So dev rewards or no dev rewards - you can't make everyone happy can you.
Great it has been edited many times during the ICO, I am pretty sure by the time I invested it was nowhere stated, I would remember that! I want my money back!
"So dev rewards or no dev rewards - you can't make everyone happy can you." Yes you can, give me a refund! What is the problem if you offer refunds? I am still waiting for good reasons why you should not give refunds. The only reason I can think of is your pure greed!
