Dude isn't even doing escrow if you don't make him on a case by case basis.
Hard to see how this one could possibly look any scammier.
We have decided to use escrow by default now we will be contacting Monbux.
Cryptocurrency is all about trust. We understand the concerns that the community have about these sort of coins. We
are applying for the Proof-of-Developer, however ultimately there is nothing (at this stage) that we can do to prove to you that this is not a scam. So my advice to all those who feel this may be a scam is either:
1) Wait and watch, so we can raise money from this first batch and buy the silver - and show you that we are not just simply running away with a few bucks.
2) Invest a little, nothing too big and see what happens.
