Clearly it is a scam. Nothing new, just some graphics and high level blah blah.
Mind elaborating a bit more?
Oh, by the way, didn't you notice the dev still have the BitDice avatar and signature? This guy wants to get 0.0x BTC per week, at the same time grab quick money from IPO, do you think he care about his own coin? not even promote to it. He did not believe to it, does anyone else believe to it??

1.I'm not the dev,I'm the development manager.
2.I don't write the actual code for the framework,the "devs" do.
3.Me having a signature or whatever doesn't change the fact how actively we're trying to work to the best of our abilities.
4.Did you even see our marketing and promotion campaigns ? They're much effective.
5.Had we planned to scam the money out of this project,I wouldn't carry a signature to make 0.0 per week and put it for advertising ASC.
6.People like you will never appreciate anything.You just love to Open the Altcoin board and spam with "scam project" all over,just to get paid for your signature.
7.I bet you don't have a clue what this project is,what an Altcoin is, or how even bitcoin works to be honest.Stop demotivating people if you don't intend to constructively criticize them.
8.I would be glad to answer all your technical questions on the project either inbox or our slack channel.Matter of fact,please learn the decentralized network basics before hitting me on the chat.
It's interesting you take the time to answer him but not me.
So do they other guys.
Because let's face it.
1) The developers won't show their face, they just want our money and run
2) The hired guns just want their fee,
Tell me did you see the actual developers or do just just speak to them on chat?
If yes why are their hiding. They want over 400K for 'development' but can't even show their face? How rude is that!!!
They smell "ICO" money; Waves, Rise, Lisk and now want their peace. But look how lazy these guys are.
This (
https://ascendancy.io/whitepaper.pdf) is not a whitepaper. This is a useless word presentation a first grader can make.
The website (
https://ascendancy.io/#/) Isn't even finished. Deadlinks and just 2/3 pages.
How can you expect people to trust you can actually develop a simple blog for that matter
1 if you hide behind your pc
2 make a bogus presentation/whitepaper with WORD
3 your website contains no information but just a few hundred words with bla bla.
Not even a simple contactform
On fiver.com you probably pay 30 bucks for both the website and content...
So now you want to create your own framework for 400k... well first build a website then we will see further.
Because yes even if the dev get 400k with or without showing their faces they will probably hire real developer for let's say 10-15k to actually make it.
