Spamming QTUM from different accounts is defenitely a redflag. Not gonna even consider this a good coin nor your marketing team - decent.

Have you not read this thread? It's not the official team that is spamming.

We believe it's a coordinated attack, by DDoS'ing our website and sending mass spam messages on Bitcointalk and Slack channels to annoy people.
Don't expect everyone to believe this your makeup story, if you're under attack just as you have claim, then what are you doing to stop it.
Why is it sending the same type of msg to people, why not random msg?

It's pretty clear.. On the day of launch the website went down, got hacked, things were slowed down, etc. all due to the hacks paired with the spamming. I think it's pretty clear that someone is trying to throw some FUD here to scare people away and load up..

Separately for Gleb.. US Investors were actually able to participate in the ICO through Bizhongchou and I can verify this works.

I agree that it's possible, but Team Qtum said that it's illegal for US citizens to partake in the ICO, having defence mechanisms in place to ward off the practice so that they'll be 100% compliant, but with tons of US citizens still partaking in the ICO et al. as I've easily demonstrated, that doesn't say much about their defense mechanisms, eh?

I'll be honest here and say that I do not recall it saying that it was illegal just that you had to go through the Bizhongchou website as opposed to any of the other exchanges.

Again, to be fair, I took the liberty and used the word "illegal" in spite of it probably not been stated by Team Qtum. That said, if it were legal for US citizens to partake in the ICO, they 100% wouldn't have been excluded in the fund raising campaign, ergo I stand by my word choice. Recall, we're talkin' SEC guidelines, hence opting to register in Singapore as a non-profit to circumnavigate various Nation States regulations.

US Citizens were able to participate in the ICO (I got some) but only through the Bizhongchou exchange. All other avenues were closed and I imagine that provider might've been the only one that was certified to transact with US Citizens.
