Well, regarding my account - I need the new one, because the original (Qiuyue201) was stolen and I am in process of recovering it. And regarding HEAT, it would be hard to prove that the goals were not met on purpose. You are suggesting something serious, a fraud, so it would be good to have proofs. Most startups promise something and do not deliver it. To be fair, yes, there is a chance that it was pre-planned failure, they haven't intended to deliver, they had not enough skills to do this and simply wanted to drag the process as long as possible, till ICO participants get bored and move to the other projects. Yes, many projects do something like that. But there is also a chance, that they simply failed.

When would you suggest to call a project failed? IMO there is no reason to sugercoat it. If a project promises X and launches without X and even couple of years later there is no X, then we have assumed it has failed. If Ethereum - which was promoted as smart contract platform - would launch in 2016 and still have no contracts till 2018, while being unstable, highly centralised etc. we would call it failure. I am not trying to beat the project's creators, because I understand how things work in startup business (and in crypto) and that most projects fail, but also there is no reason to pretend that all is good, because obviously it is not. If YouTube was announced as video streaming service but then over 2 years after the launch it would offer only text descriptions of the videos, it would be considered failure, wouldn't it? There are various ways to scam people. You can simply run away with BTC (and risk being chased), or you can pretend you are working on something, paying yourself the money. Not saying that latter is the case here (but many people rightfully suspect that), but many crypto project did it this way.
