You say it yourself: "Crypto projects have been launched and died in less than 60 days." Maybe one of the reasons is that spending wasn't under control?
We have a responsibility towards the people which invest with us and one of these responsibilities is, that we make sure to spend money trusted to us in a wise way. That is integrity - not just paying any invoice. If you take a look at my former post, you see that my first sentence acknowledged that they did some good, unfortunately they also did not deliver as expected.
The name of the Token was never changed, please elaborate where you get this from.
If I offer people to PM me or not, is at my discretion.
Fair enough on the spending issue and I thought you meant your project name, not token name. I saw an earlier news article about you guys that had a different domain name originally, so I thought that was related to this issue.
So all that aside, what is the dispute here? You paid for an audit and you got an audit. ABDK found a critical flaw. That saved you possibly millions of dollars in potential losses. Why don't you want to pay him? Just because he missed a token name issue? Security audits don't really look for that kind of thing. It seems you came to an agreement on the price, he did his part, and now you are refusing to pay.
It's just my 2 cents, but that really is off putting to potential investors like myself.
We've seen a lot of scam ICOs around here that end up leaving other people holding the bag, so you'll have to excuse the pessimism.
