Am I the only 1 who thinks this project looks totally fake and a bit scammey?

Like the CEO looks like a drug dealer? like come on...

They say they raised 2000 ether in 5 days right? Well check their contract address and they are sending 500,000 ML to people? Ok so thats 500 ether to 1 person.. meaning someone 'apparently' has spent $500k on this project ? Like seriously? Who in their right mind would do that? Their video looks very basic ... just saying how amazing it would be to learn with electronics? Like coursera and udemy haven't already done that?..

I'm all for new eLearning stuff (BitDegree for example brought some value here) but come on?

Also if you check the owners address for the contract.. he has 0.5 ether... so where is the 2k ether being stored?

Anyway, i'm just suprised people would invest in this project given so many red flags that china would be jealous.

Thanks for your comment.
There were already people who doubted our project, some points need clarifying:

1) Judging the ability of a person by his appearance is a bad tone.
2) The contract that you are talking about is the contract for Pre and Main sales, which was published at the start of the Presale.
3) The funds collected on the Private Sale are stored on cold wallets, which we provide only if there are lousy reasons for this.

Ok, that's fine - big red flags but I understand really...

Please explain - what makes your platform different to coursera?

Coursera focuses only on classical training, which is obsolete. Their main focus is cooperation with universities. There are a lot of people who are ready to share their skills with others, they do not take their interests into account. Our project provides an opportunity for all kinds of people to work together, for example: you excel in coding, but you are capable of teaching only in your native language. Within our ecosystem you would be able to immediately find editors and translators who will make your knowledge accessible to people from all locations of the world. Find people with similar interests, find people with whom you can better transfer your skills - this is just a little bit that our project provides.
Cooperation with universities and other partnering programs - it is great, and it has to be considered, but the ability of comprehensive interaction for anyone involved is a must.
Established process of knowledge sharing of ANY kind is what we strive to achieve.

Concerning other projects: We could've payed for everything - articles, opinions of other people, insanely well designed site and White Paper. But should it be the main priority? We do have quite a lot of private investors. The essence of ICO for us is to understand whether our project is relevant for people and whether they really need it.
It would be much easier to make another fork of Bitcoin or Litecoin and go straight to the exchanges to get money. What we've chosen is much more difficult to implement, but it is much more necessary in our everyday life. It could result in a better future for all of us.

Nevertheless, thanks for your opinion, healthy skepticism is always useful.
