Re: [ANN] [ICO] Bitclave - Decentralized Search ★ November 8. ICO ★
If this coin/currency/whatever is being pumped by the massive number of spammers as it appears, it is destined to do nothing more than rip people off.
Any posts made by my account C3ALL, in this thread have not been made by me. They have been made by a scammer that then appears to have sold it on to another scammer/farmer. The signature that is now attached to my account is almost identical to dozens of others that are posting in this thread. The scammers are even having "conversations" with themselves to try and pump this stuff up.
Avoid. Like the plague.

As you can see, I left crypto back in 2014 and didnt post again. That is until October this year when my account suddenly started posting again. It appears I lost my ability to write coherently in English too.
Then later in October, for whatever reason, I started posting in Romanian...
My advice, avoid this project, and avoid anything posted since 2014 by my original account C3ALL.
If someone uses your profile to earn stakes in the bounty program, we have nothing to do with this. Why are you accusing us of this?Any posts made by my account C3ALL, in this thread have not been made by me.

Because the very fact you need to advertise and garner support in this manner, appearing to actively encourage it at worst, and turn a blind eye to it at best, speaks volumes for the integrity of the program as a whole. In fact looking at the post history of your account seems to suggest that too has been hacked/stolen/sold. If the people behind this project had faith in it, they would post under their own accounts and not feel the need to try and artificially create trust by buying/stealing established accounts. If I have a business idea I want to pitch, I pitch it myself, I don't go to the bank dressed up as Richard Branson and try to convince them they are dealing with somebody they aren't.
The only people who will make money from this project are the few who want to encourage the many to part with a small amount. They know full well that the many will just write off their investment, its just like unsecured crowdfunding on a different platform. Stolen profiles, the irony of "bounty" rewards being paid to identity thieves and all this behaviour circling a project that expects legitimate business to part with significant cash for access to data and pay for advertising, and you want private investors to pony up double what the EIB invested in Qwant. OK, Good luck with that.
Just to note, in case you missed the bleeding obvious, the whole advertising model works for Google because of the data received from searches. They can then sell companies very specific targeted data for their adverts. That's why companies pay to advertise through google, so they can make sure their adverts are seen by people who are actually interested in their category of product. Without competing on the search side, you are just selling blind advertising space. What you are doing is recreating the yellow pages.
Im all for entrepreneurial activity, but to wake up one morning and decide you want to take on Googles advertising stronghold, with zero users and zero data input from millions of customers searches, and ask the general public to stick their hand in their pocket for $50m, is just daft.
