Understood.  That's why I'm claiming this was taken advantage of.  I saw preev within about two hours from when the payment came in, and I'm pretty sure that the price did not spike up to over $7400 at that time.
We've already discussed that by PM, and you asked for my BTC address, to which I replied that it's in the spreadsheet.  The amount scammed is something like $3, and I'm not concerned about that so much as this project and its campaign manager being blatantly dishonest.

I'd like to hear from some other members who participated in this campaign, but I doubt they'll risk being blacklisted for speaking out.  Even if that wasn't an actual possibility I have no doubt that some fear it.
