They say they are trying to make this IPO as fair as possible and distribute it also to miners etc. BUT they don't follow through with this fairness to themselves enriching themselves greatly. This could be a great technology but I'm not technical but this is more unfair than NXT ever was. At least NXT only became enriched by their own coins and didn't collect a huge amount of BTC to start.



I might invest in this but I am 100% that the guys are doing something that will benefit themselves multiples of times more than any investor. If they wanted to be fair they could put a cap at 1 BTC or even just ask people to send a token amount like .001 BTC etc. They could still get rich from their share if they create a successful coin. Don't forget even if this coin sucks and fails they get rich, this isn't Libertarian freedom of capitalism but more resembling a Ponzi scheme.






If I buy this coin and don't make much i'm going to be pissed that the skinny little geek is going to be snorting coke of one of his Faggot Dungeons and Dragons buddies butt crack.

The simple question you have to ask yourself is this?  Why pre-buy this coin as an investment and make these guys 36 million when you can probably make just as much on other coins without the risk of pre-sale.  For example, I have been buying up Klondikes since their launch a few weeks ago and already tripled my investment and expect at least 10x more still.  Why did I invest my money into Klondike?  They have six certifiable devs that are working on projects round the clock and you know how much was pre-mined and pre-sold?  Zero and Zero.  These guys are actually BUYING their own coins and hoping their investment in hard earn work and capital will earn them money later.  Can you believe that?  I can invest in Klondikes because I know the devs got a lot of their OWN money and time riding on it so they will not let it fail.  These guys on ethereum, I cant stop laughing, they are asking for 36 million dollars and 50% pre-mine.  "palmface"  If didn't see it, I would think it had to be a joke.

Even if you believe this coin will succeed in some capacity, you should not reward these guys for being greedy.  These type of deals will turn off a lot of the Bitcoin community and if people start putting any decent amount of money into these types of coins,  I GUARANTEE YOU, there will be a hundred more coins like this that will try to raise millions in pre-sale.  And before you know it, the market will be saturated and collapse, and the hundreds of thousands of people will start losing money because there just is not enough capital to support hundreds of 36 million pre-sale coins.  Don't support these get rich quick scams.  If you like the concept, you will be able to buy tons of these coins aftermarket without any pre-sale risk and without enabling these type of coin operators schemes.
