The point is not to know if OP can be a horse behind a computer or not.

I want to understand the idea behind the project.
I don't see how the project is helping the farmers using urea.
Cryptocurency lead to massive pump and dump. How can we expect people to rely on it ?
What if millions of people lose all their wealth and are forced to starvation because of a dump from a nerd with a massive GPU farm ?
This is a caricature but do someone see the point ?

Uro's utility to a farmer is not affected by the behaviour of traders on the exchanges: A farmer that holds Uro will get his/her Urea when he/she needs it - without having to worry about Urea or Uro price changes - because the Uro Protocol legally binds the NIERs to this commitment for the next ten years - with more NIERs joining the Foundation in the coming months. This commitment is just the beginning - because it currently only caters for whole ship orders of 12,500 MT - we are in ground-breaking discussions with Urea wholesalers right now to facilitate smaller orders. We invision that one day, 1 MT Urea purchases will be possible with Uro.

All of this is possible because of the Uro Protocol backing Uro to 1 MT of Urea. Its unique, its different - its not a backing to USD, its not a backing to any fiat currency or even any cryptocurrency. Uro is a different animal all together - a currency backed to a manufactured commodity - a commodity that is crucial to the upkeeping of civilization.

All that have ever been released upon this community in the past has been concentrated on getting a high BTC exchange rate, but BTC itself is volatile - and so is any other currency including fiat. Uro is the fresh approach - a backing to the real needs of the human race - the need to grow food.

Think about this - if a war breaks out and your life is in danger - what is a bank note? what is even a gold bar? The only thing that matters is safety and sustenance. Food and whatever is required to produce it are the only constants - the only things that are universally valued in the same way by every person on earth - if fact - they are the only things universally valued by all life everywhere. It does not matter if its a plant, an animal, a human or an alien - all have to eat.

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention. I personally do hold URO, 'cos why not, but I am far more interested in the concept that URO brings to the table than profit potential. I'm trying to get people to talk and become involved, not to buy, but to just find out more.

I am still highly skeptical, as are most of the community (based on a few reservations), but I'm so, so genuinely curious about this whole thing. People keep herp-derping about "wall street" being the big money, which no doubt it will, that comes into Crypto in 2014 but asset/commodity based crypto exchange is what I envisioned (originally with coloured coins, but this is a slightly different concept is nonetheless just as groundbreaking) as the next big step and I feel like if this is legitimate that it is indeed the next step for 2014. And rest assured if this is real and it works it WILL change crypto forever, and big business will get involved.

For all that is good in the world, don't be another scam. I'll give you credit if it is, because it's waaay more creative and inctricate than typical premine scams.

I have two main concerns and questions; given you seem to be an active dev, I hope you can answer them for me.

1. a) WHY is listing URO on a public exchange (Trex) even necessary, what part of the business plan involves us? Why does it need to be publically distributed first. It seems like an unnecessary step.
b) And is there anything that exempts NIER board members/farmers from loading up on this undervalued URO and getting heavily discounted urea? If not, why are they not flooding bittrex for cheap urea?

2. Will we see a richlist or top holders or URO, or does one exist already?
