There is a reddit thread in the cryptocurrency subreddit started by a millionaire cryptocurrency investor promoting Snapshot. There are many comments in this thread and the one that got voted to the top suggests strongly, with its reasons, that the snapshot ICO is a scam. This posting can be seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6qc8cq/im_retiring_guys/
I actually really like the Snapshot ideas. I will buy into the ICO if teamsnapshot can provide more evidence that it is real.
Some ideas: Open up the alpha version to more people now. Make a video of the application. Tell us who you are. Release the source code of the application, or release something on Github.
dev will clarify on these accusations as they directly have an effect on the ico results, hope they are entirely false accusations.
