Dear brickblock,

Thanks for the attack! I feel very humbled and flattered to announce your surprising and breathtaking ICO results for the first two most important stages, a spectacular achievement of 278.000 USD.

Official Wallets of the ICO

First: According to your announcement, you claimed to have 26K whitelisted participants. This people must have been so excited about this that they even lost their way and mind while storming onto it. Taking the results into consideration, that would mean an average contribution of 10.69$. Well, not really, as there was a min. contribution of 30$ meaning that roughly 9K must have participated. Kindly, can you explain what happened to 2/3 of your whitelisted supporters? And I really encourage you, for the sake of all future interested people in your project, bring some explanation. (hint: don't start with BOTS created by whales)
Second: You claimed that people assume and falsely accuse the lack of transparency and trust. As wallets are open so is your Telegram channel @brickblock. I will give this community some quotes straight out of the channel:

It's really easy Jakob. If you want to convince the community and skeptical investors like me, I would recommend the following:
- Update your website, bitcointalk ANN, and emails to reflect HOW and WHEN you received the funding to-date (investors should know that you have only raised $300k since the ICO went public)
- Publish your wallet addresses in your communications so that investors know what are the correct addresses and can track the balances

Your marketing is very misleading. You mentioned that $1M came in the pre-sale, and $3M from private investors, and have only raised $300k since yesterday. Yet your announcements and emails state that you raised $4.1M in the first six hours of the ICO. The [Suspicious link removed]munity and technology is built from transparency and you are going against that. I can't trust a company that isn't completely transparent with it's users, customers, or investors. I was previously interested, but not anymore. Good luck to those that have invested.

Dear energetic ICO community, why the hell are you doing this to you! This ICO is completely overwhelmed, unprofessional and bascially your contribution got wrecked! Brickblock has several transparency issues and their ICO started way far off from target. They only raised a very minor amount of roughly 230K (assuming there are no transactions from inside to make it look more attractive ). At the very end what matters, are TX in the wallet - and this is tiny compared to their announcements of blablablablabla, whitelisted people everywhere. Even if you sign up thru CUPIT you still send at the very end BTC, so there is no such a FIAT money. In short: HANDS OFF! Always make your own research!

I dont understand this scenarios, why would u state things like this? Why would Kristina talk about 50m in 2 days and now its not even possible what Dave says. I see it got also red flagged in bitcointalk.org - agains lets hope for the best prepare for worst. Can u make some notes on that too?

im intrigued with some information that arrived to me today, that claims that u have no limit tx to 1600 usd, like u say in the contribution page. Also in the BB Site page says u raised almost 5 m, but ur wallet says otherwise.
i Want to contribute this coming days, but theres a lot of FUD .
I need u to Clear this fud NOW, and clealry for all this 2600 possible investores here.

Please Jakob update your website (as promised yesterday) and reflect the investment of the current ongoing ICO correctly as every other transparent organization also would. React to the posts on bitcointalk and give some credibility again by acknowledging this failure, otherwise we will loose trust, and more problems will come up. For example if I would have known that the actual raising was below 200K i would have not invested. I know this will make look the ICO even more unattractive but I would rather like to I honestly tried to participate - i dont know what your feelings are about this.

I think that should be enough, it actually hurt my eyes going thru it but there is way much, and again, before people assume, it is a public channel, make your own impression. The major point of the community is that the website misleads the current ICO progress. Thus, people started to create stir within the channel, and after insisting founders were pressured. This led to the fact - it gets funny again - that founders approach several people PRIVATELY and give them the pre-ico wallets. This leaked out, and voila so did the pre-ico wallets: (see sources below Cheesy

)

https://blockchain.info/address/18bmciAXtmpibNffkzs1obeNtX84eon1gX

And guess what the balance is, of course always close to 0! - must be a good life! So where is your 4 million??? To sum up it all adds up to 316K

Third: You claimed that to "have a maximum contribution cap of $1685 from each individual contributors". Can you explain this a bit more in detail? I don't see any smart contract deployed! I see in the wallet a TX bigger than the threshold. How is that possible, especially as one can contribute with BTC and LTC? We are all eager to hear this - as this is something pretty new - having a smart contract with no smart contract.

I will leave the team with this for a while, will keep you busy for sure. But hey, there is still another 19days to go! I hope you don't come up with the idea to postpone, oh I forgot this ICO got already postponed, remind me why? And another thing by the way, the more you write, the more people will act on what you say - and I am pretty sure, Jakob and Martin don't want to loose face in this scene!

Cheerio!

UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME THIS IS AN ALERT AND A SIGN OF VERY POOR RESPONSE FROM THE TEAM, RATHER CREATE VALUE THRU E.G REAL CODE ON GITHUB, REAL TRANSPARENCY FROM THE BEGINNING, REAL RESPONSIBILITY. As mentioned before this project clearly has put the main focus on marketing and thus created the contrary effect.

Cheerio!

Spent the whole day at the Telegram channel, according to a lot of people, immense difficulties, technical issues, and quite suspicious ways of acting for my taste - I am out! Very ambitious but guess thanks to the "over-exaggerated" marketing this project just achieved contrary - a boomerang effect - and made people be cautious and steer off - lesson learned.

By the way:

ETH wallet

LTC
LX4fxDteWoy7PkPNZy6z8oTjSQrpQAfced

I don't get how people can simply state, or even more important believe that already 4 million is raised! I see 180K according to the sum of ETH, BTC and LTC. That is hard fact! Hope for unsatisfied investors that there will be a refund in case of missing soft cap.

Edit: Just saw that there is no soft cap. Hence, good luck! Happy Halloween! Trick or treat Tongue

P.S For the future team member, soon claiming that there was a tremendous interest to invest in pre-sale thru FIAT; simply math results that first ICO round resulted in roughly 4.3% of that initial investment. Completely out of range if you take average mean of past ICOs. Again this is true fact.

Best,

Wow... thanks for providing this information. This is definitely a red flag if the team isn't being honest with how much it is raising.

Please read my post above. Over 4 million was raised until now. Please ask us the things you wonder and we will try to explain. Please choose your source of information carefully.

Hello,

Thank you for your lengthy entry. I will clarify some of the points that need to be elaborated.

POINT 1: Whitelist conversion rate

Yes, you are right conversion rate for the whitelist was low. While it is common for ICOs to face this, we still took a critical look at ourselves and tried to find out the reasons. We figure there are several reasons for the conversion rate.
We figured that our tier system and discount periods werent completely understood. Contributors did not know when to contribute and their discount was limited to a period of time.
Registered contributors did not realise that they still had to create an account and log in. This process was found somehow complicated.
While we are looking for ways to make our process better and more user friendly, I would like to point out that, even though conversion rate seems low, it can be considered industry standard. You have to realize when you say you have 26K people in your whitelist, the conversion rate will not be so high regardless. Nonetheless, this conversion rate does not reflect on our transparency nor ethics that is being criticized.

POINT2: Transparency

You accuse us of having lack of transparency while all you did was just copying content from a public channel to another. As you said, our telegram channel (where you copied your messages from) and all of our wallets are public. So, while you are just using public information from channels we encourage people to follow and read, what is the information you found that makes us secretive or dishonest? If you reach these information, anyone can. How is this not transparent?
You asked us where the number of $4 million was coming from in bold letters. I assume you did not read our blog post explaining what our funds are and where they came from. Again, public information.

https://blog.brickblock.io/a-clarification-about-our-funding-so-far-3b95ebb0b2d3

POINT 3: Smart Contracts

Your final question was about smart contracts. This will be implemented prior to our Token distribution and $1685 max cap will be enforced. If somebody transferred us 2000 during the discount period, we will send them 315 back, if we hit the cap of 50Mil in 2 days, if not we will count it at the main contribution. I would like to remind you that we do not have a contribution limit during our general sale.

To conclude, I have to disagree with your final comment that is this project put the marketing in the front and neglected the rest. While you spent considerable amount of time in our chats, I realise you didnt spend as much time on our blog. We have a working alpha product that is live on the blockchain and we will be selling the first tokenised real estate on the blockchain in the following month. This is something that you dont see in %95 of the ICOs. So, I can comfortably say our main priority was building our product and doing something revolutionary and tokenised the first real estate on the blockchain.

I recommend taking a look. Here is the article that guide you through this great product.

If you have questions, we are always happy to answer. We always welcome you in all of our public channel and have a nice conversation.

All the best,

Emin
