As far as I am aware the project has ceased development, I do not believe they raised any money during the ICO.

The founder of the project has abandoned ship leaving the rest of the team to potentially continue with development since the MVP and most things are already complete.

Here is the founder's personal information:

https://www.facebook.com/kway.day

Currently I am waiting on the remaining team to see whether they'll be taking over the project.

Last conversation with Francis (CEO);

Last conversation with their advisor

EDIT: Looking at the smart contract, it doesn't appear that any money was raised;

His advisor confirmed via Discord that no money was raised, which is likely why the founder abandoned the project.

EDIT 2: Their advisor has been helpful enough to provide me the Facebook of Francis' partner and their business details. If anybody needs this, send me a PM. I do not believe anybody was scammed by the project, looks to me that it just failed miserably.

So bounty participant will not get payment ? You didn't stop bounty even I opened scam accusation and you aware about it.


Why would I stop the bounty? Your scam accusation related to the lack of team, an issue which was resolved. My bounties are run via a Telegram community and the bounty hunters were told that the ICO was stopped. Since the development was still continuing to the best of my knowledge there was no reason to suspect the bounty would not be paid. It is entirely up to the bounty hunters to participate given the conditions of the bounty and the information presented.

Seems like you are trying to transfer the blame to me, the bounty manager, does that seem like a logical thing to do? Firstly, the bounty clearly states in the rules that it will not be distributed if the ICO soft cap is not met, why would anybody want tokens from a failed project that are worth literally zero and not listed on any exchanges? I clearly responded on the first page saying I would lock the thread if the issue is not resolved, it was resolved and the bounty was stopped shortly after I found the ICO was being stopped on request of the founder.
