I'm concerned about that. Firstly it doesn't deserve that criticism as it was completely open and even extended. Absolutely no sock puppet nonsense with people able to make multiple accounts just a simple get what you put in percentage of the whole. Plus the amount was quite a bit in the end, 128 BTC is not a small amount and so those that put hard BTC down (mostly without escrow) took a risk and even we all thought we had invested in a scam for a while. The only problem I saw is that there are so many scams around and other coins like Exocoin doing similar things then this IPO was just one of many a while back.

I also think we need to give those outside the IPO a chance at buying in so an exchange needs to be set up and people shown that they will have a window of time to get some at reasonable prices. This is why I hope we do get on an exchange and not a bunch of crap ones relatively quickly.

I say this cause there WILL come a group of haters, you can guarantee it. They will be bitter people who missed the IPO or people who are pushing other coins or just miners who blindly just hate POS as a default. Many however were simply trying to crash the price for their own benefit we saw that alot with NXT with many games played on the exchanges.


So as a community we have to defend this inevitable attack and be prepared for it. Personally confident ignoring of attacks is better that meeting it with more attacks or even trying to hard to respond with education. Quiet confidence wins in the end.
