Re: [ANN] Bancor | Protocol for Smart-tokens, solving the liquidity problem

No matter how bad the terms are, people will buy into this anyway.

Ya that how it goes. As long as u will do money with that.....people will invest in this ico. Every ICO Project this years started with x2 and more on the exchange. Noone will sell his coins less then ico price. You will do always some money with legit/good ico projects

I was too lazy to check out the team until now but as I see, nobody cares here, so here's my question about the developer team. I hope some people will read this.

Yehuda Levi - CTO - CoFounder Appcoin, 3years 9mo. When you go to Appcoins, it has no detail at all, not even a website, what did he do for almost 4 years ?
Mati Levi - QA Engineer - 3 years at Appcoin. Same thing, what did he do ?
Omry Rosenfeld - Frondend developer 1year 5mo, same question.
Assaf Rachman - Full stack developer at Appcoin. same question
Or Bachar - Web developer at Marketspulse for 2years 1mo. Here's the site. http://www.marketspulse.com/ It does not even have a single link in it. Could have been a bare picture with text. This was his work for 2 years ?
Itay Dreyfus - UX/UI Designer for 5months at Appcoin but he links group.market app.

These are the devs. Now I'm really curious what did they do at appcoin, all I could find was https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475160.0 It's a scamcoin from 2014 and https://www.appcoin.me/ UX/UI DESIGNER open position, no links.

Yes Appcoin seems to be scam/ project suspended. But Itay left that company. In most of the cases the UI/UX ,Developers dont even know if they are working for a scam project.
But involvment of Yehuda as CTO is strange.

I have no idea why nobody cares about the dev team.. I wanted to invest like 20-30 eth in this but there are just too many unanswered questions that makes the whole thing fishy. People's logic is something like this : every ICO will at least 2x and noody sells under ICO so let's invest. But they only see the winning ICOs, the majority fails. Now this will be bought in 1hour I'm sure of that so it might make profit anyway and that is pretty dangerous in the long run, it teaches people to lose their common sense/logic and throw money at everything new..(this is kinda happening all year with ICOs)

FOMO at its finest. I was going to throw most of my liquidity into this project but now I'm toning it back.

Is there any proof of appcoin being a scam other than some forum speculating about it? Looks like it was simply an unsuccessful project. They are even open about it in at least one interview, saying "many of the appcoin team now works on Bancor". Having a failed project is not necessarily a bad thing, can be good, as long as they learned from it.

Let me ask you a different question, is there any proof that the dev team actually ever worked on anything ? I don't see much. more like none in the past 4 years.

No but not having proof of them working on something or having proof of a scam does not carry the same weight imo. I can also only speculate but to me it looks like a project they simply gave up on... Otherwise they would do a better job hiding it, don't you think? (Like not mentioning it on their linkedin, not speaking about it in interviews, deleting the website completely, etc.) I can also understand why they gave up on it if they had a potentially better idea like Bancor.
Some proof in either direction would help, without it anyone can only use their best judgment I guess...
