I couldn't sleep last night! I invested in total over 400,000 dollars into this ICO and I am screwed. I lost everything. I am -97% of my initial money. I even took loans after I initially invested in the project due to the "community shills on discord". They deceived me to buy more before launching the great main net which is a total failure. They later banned me when I started to ask a few questions on discord and even called me a fool. YES! I WAS A FOOL believing these EVIL kids. I lost my mom due to the impossibility of covering her medication costs, my wife divorced, I lost my car, I am full of debts to the bank and to some of my childhood friends... The bank is calling me every week to pay... My life is ruined. I got fucked up by Nimiq. I am simply ruined and desperate due to these evil people Elion, Richy, Robin, Phillipe, Pascal, Marvin, etc... Damn ICO scam. Today is my last day... on this evil planet full of interest to scam the shit out of you for the god damn dolla'. At least nobody is with me now, so I can blow my brains out with my revolver alone... in peace and quiet... and leave this evil world for good... I will wait a couple more years to welcome in hell all these sneaky bastards who lost all my money. BE CURST!!! God will punish severely these sneaky bastards and make them suffer... They will suffer either in this life or ... in hell. Goodbye Rachel, my life, your dad always loved you and I have done everything... for a better future... One day you will understand... Cry

this guy was right about his statement. The team is exit scamming the project. Everything yuluxugi was telling was proven right. Robin just posted today on Reddit that he was addicted to drugs and the team is simply stealing the ICO money. I really hope you are fine buddy and healthy to see your daugther! Money is not everything. You will make others by hard working!!!

First, I want to apologize that I have been away for months. The truth is, I failed to handle the pressure of the internal power battles and developed a severe cannabis addiction. That forced me to take a break. My family helped me to recover. I have been sober for almost half a year now, I regained a healthy weight and I am fine again.

Since the ICO the Millions of dollars caused a loss of the sense of reality in the whole team. People started to confuse "investment" with "profit". Misaligned incentives lead to fundamentally flawed decisions. We created lots of hot air and very few real substance. Internal power battles harmed the spirit of the project. Now we have been arguing for month and failed to agree on a mutual way forward. Thus I think the best solution is to have a public debate with Nimiq's tech lead Philipp von Styp-Rekowsky because the difference in his and mine attitude are the main source of conflict.

Philipp, could you please answer the following questions:

In comparison to BTC or ETH our coin lost 95% of its value. You are Nimiq's vice president; do you feel responsible for our investors losses?

Do you realize it is necessary to make changes to get back on track?

Do you think tracking our progress publicly would ensure accountability?

How should we reduce our excessive burn rate? Would you agree to cut down our generous salaries to $80k/yr?

Do you think getting paid 50% in vested NIMs would prove a longterm commitment?

Does Nimiq run a trading bot to create fake volume? Does Nimiq manipulate the market?

Do you still think an ASIC-resistant proof of work actually exists? If not, don't you think it weakens the system's security if there is no efficient miner provided by the core team?

Do you believe browser-based mining is a good idea even though it is centralized, guarantees losses and engages malicious bot nets? Do you think our browser miner is deceptive advertising?

Why did you argue against focusing on scalability? Don't you think once someone solves scalability it renders all other projects mostly obsolete? Don't you think we are in a winner-takes-all market?

What do you think is the real USP of Nimiq? Why should investors believe in NIM?

I believe transparency and truth can help us get back on track. There is no shame in messing things up as long as we give our best to fix them. Philipp and I are open to further questions. Ask us anything.

I'd deeply appreciate you supporting us on our way forward!!

nimiq is a scam ico. We want a refund from the nimiq company. The ICO was handled by the nimiq company and not the foundation and no kyc during the ICO sale.
