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/

There are several other reddit theads suggesting this is a scam:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6qm7b9/snapshot_ico/
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6qiy6k/snapshot_ico_in_2_hours_anyone_participating/
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6qeark/snapshot_ico/

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.

We had a long conversation with the user in question via email, over multiple instances. It appears our answers weren't sufficient for him. We have gone through the page in question and the user spoke of various crypto currencies, so it is odd that the mention of ours among others leads people to believe this is a scam. There will always be hesitance, and it is impossible to please everyone. But we try to do so. The Cryptocurrency sector seems to be trigger happy to yell scam if team information is undisclosed and we believe this is the reasoning for this odd spike in hesitance regarding Snapshot. We have been forthright in regards to why we lack team information since the beginning of our campaign. It puts us in a bind as we have listed the reasoning team information cannot be divulged, we encourage anyone who hasn't read through the read to do so as they will be able to review our comments.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I don't suggest that this ICO is a scam just because the developers do not disclose who they are. I also suggest it because they say they have built something but then do not show it to people who are interested in the ICO. They say that they let a limited amount of people try the alpha version. There is no real evidence of that.

The only review of the alpha version I have seen is from the user AlexeiPetrov, where he says this, "The app is great! Everything makes sense, easy to use. Impressed." You can see this here:

The user AlexeiPetrov joined bitcointalk only 1 week ago. You can see his profile here:

The majority of Alexie's posts are about Snapshot. It is also suspicious that all of his posts are short and not offering much substance. His account could easily be fake.

Why are there no other reviews of the alpha version of the application? I saw people earlier in this thread express interest in trying out the alpha version. Did none of them get accepted to try out the alpha?

The user Lauren Smith (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=845797) has been very excited by this ICO and supporting it. Has she seen the alpha version of the application? Lauren, can you say?
