Wow.

I was away from the forums for a long weekend and it's exploded. I wonder if some people are just looking for reasons to belittle the project? Need to find the next reason soon I guess.

I can't quite believe the people still shouting scam really believe it? Have you never worked in business before? Ever had a contract of any kind whatsoever?

I have two businesses registered in my name currently. Both initially registered at my residential address. One now has real office space... But still registered at my home address for at least a year after we had our first office space.

Have any of you got any Internet bank accounts? Those without high Street shops? Well... Check your contract, if you still have it, to see what the legal name of the entity is. Then check which bank banks them (probably through a third party). Walk on to the High Street branch of the final backing bank and ask them about your Internet account. See the blank look, and perhaps the sympathetic smile which everyone gives to the innocently uninformed.

But I think you guys know this already, don't you? It's so easy to lead the masses with hysteria... And get supporting quotes and references. But you're all quoting each other.

Minexteam made a mistake here. In their eagerness to update the community and calm the crowds they posted misleading information. Poorly worded I think. Very easy to misinterpret by the uneducated and very easily used as a tool to, for lack of a better term, fud.

All new startups begin this way. Every technology company on the last few decades (probably even your entire lifespan) that wasn't a spin off, started in a garage, basement or spare bedroom in mums house.

Its tiresome reading the level of service many of you expect. You're forcing the hand of the mine team to rush updates. They are not helping by explaining things in half measure, which they must because of standard non disclosure terms. Hope the team learned from this. Every new startup with a customer base goes through this learning process though... So that will improve naturally.
