I really doubt they are a scam.
The problem is that they are cheap. They want to release mainnet and exchange at once. And i assume the exchange is giving them a hard time. If they would release just a mainnet Eons and list them on some not even a big exchange but a mediocre exchange like (kucoin, livecoin, liqui) we would get Eons and let them finish Exchange and other stuff in peace. And people who want to dump them or whatever would be able to do so...
But i guess they dont want to list Eons anywhere only on their own exchange... So they need to complete exchange in order to release Eons... and exchange is taking so long...
I have a friend who is working on DTR- new Merlak exchange( owner and creator of bitstamp).
It is very very hard to do a security of a exchange, not interface, thats easy, but Security! They are working like 6 months on just an exchange to be a secure. And thats not even a decentrelized exchange.
That makes it even harder....
I guess we need to be patient and let them finish... but its hard to be positive.
What would you like to suggest them to move into which direction if you think this is not possible for them to deliver this decentralized exchange with top notch security than how will they make the satisfied of all investors who are waiting for this big moment from over a year. I would like to hear from you please share your opinion.
