I understand peoples' concerns with CompCoin, with the team and lack of updates, all of that. I've had my doubts about the viability of the project too. They say when you're wearing rose colored glasses, red flags just look like normal flags; I've wondered if I'm wearing rose colored glasses in regards to my enthusiasm for CompCoin - especially as of late. But in the end, I chose to invest in it and I don't see a need to be shy in sharing the reasons behind that decision with people who are in a similar position.

What I don't understand is why you're acting like there's some conspiracy. Obviously I have a working relationship with the team, as I mentioned in one of my first posts. Alan reached out to me early on when they were going through the mining attack. Clearly I wouldn't have access to this information otherwise. It would be easier to let everyone sit in the dark and wonder what's happening - instead I thought it would be nice to share what I know. I'll stop posting updates if that's what people want.

In regards to BuyCompcoin - the fact is that I made it very clear I was working on a CompCoin related project and would announce it in an upcoming post. The site is still being developed. Why would you expect me to announce the domain before the website is ready? We've spent a lot of time and effort to help explain CompCoin. It will be promoted once it's ready. You haven't uncovered some groundbreaking investigative detail, all you've done is spoiled the launch announcement and pointed people to a site that's not ready yet.

Furthermore, since it's still being developed, no forum member can purchase a single CompCoin from that website. Period.

I share updates on the coin because I felt like that was better than people not hearing anything. I've only shared information as it's been conveyed to me. I said how I met Alan and got involved. I said I was working on a CompCoin project. I have not profited from these posts in anyway whatsoever.

Also, I'm not blocking anyones PMs. I'm open to discussion as I have been from the beginning. If I'm wrong about CompCoin, I'm open to any information you have in that respect. If that were the case, I'm getting played harder than anyone, so please, send me whatever you know.

Everything I've done here from the beginning has been transparent, aboveboard and with good intentions - from sharing updates, to developing resources for the CompCoin community.

I'm genuinely interested in having a dialogue because as far as I'm concerned, CompCoin is legit. If you've got information that says otherwise, I'm interested in learning more.
