As I remarked Dan keeps referring to it as "small", when actually it was a considerable amount of money. I have heard the bank wires/cash transfers alone are > $100k. And unless people I know are mistaken, the total raised is over or very close to 1000BTC.
Quite frankly I don't give a flying duck how much is fund raised, it just piques my interest Dan has an agenda of downplaying the contribution of the initial investors, when in fact they raised him a shit ton of money and paid his wages for a year.
You dont get the point. Whoever invested could ask for a refund anytime. After the postpones that was the case for some investors. After the theft lots of people lost trust and asked for a refund, which they got. After all not that much was left to say, that paid the wages. Actually, Dan put a lot of his own money into that.
No idea why you are talking about the theft, I haven't even mentioned it.
Thats why I mentioned it. Its essential to understand the fact, that Dan didnt make money till this point at all.
Not really. The deadline was pushed back again and again, with promises it was coming soon. Suddenly now Dan rewrites history and says in Jan there was a dramatic change in direction as if he made people aware the project would be delayed a year.
So what? Investors had the choice to get a refund any time. Thats the core of an early investent. Take the risk or drop it. Anyone else (most members of the forum) did not even invest and just have to do nothing but wait. Whats so wrong about that?
I'm not questioning if he is serious about the project. Again, I have no idea why you're bringing up something else irrelevant to my post.
That said, how do you actually know Dan has paid for the loss out of his pocket? If everyone wanted their BTC back, how do we know the end amount wouldn't be 450 BTC short? We don't. It seems a surefire bet that the Emunie market cap will rise a good amount on launch so if he keeps quiet and pretends to have covered the loss, no-one will ever know. I stress that is speculation and hypothetical. But in this community I trust nobody.
As I already said, the theft is not irrelevant. Get into the subject before you spread poison.
What matters about the refund: Everybody who wanted it got his money. If there will be more requests, what I doubt, those people will get there BTC back as well. You dont need to know where it comes from or why I know where it comes from. The fact that everybody got paid out who made a request stands for itself.
If you dont trust this community: just get lost. We dont need your trust. :-)
Now I'm starting to think you have issues reading/comprehending. Nowhere do I object to Dan making a good profit. I even said he should take a big chunk of Emu for himself. I certainly would.
It will be interesting to see how this one pans out.
I took your last statement in a sarcastic way after all you said. Good you understand at least that point.
