Hi, all

Me and a group of other crypto investors would like to get some details about the person(or people) who were taking care of the isracoin project in the past 1-3 months(we assume that the active members changed).

The more and more time passes, the more this project looks suspicious and we would like to know who is the person behind it in case this project will prove to be a scam project - I think people should know who was behind it, in case the same person will come with another "business plan".

We are going to try and get info from active bitcoin community members regarding if ISR really did make an announcement in the recent Israeli bitcoin conference

I personally believe that there should be zero tolerance attitude towards people who use cryptos to scam the public and clearly want to know what's the nature of this coin ( still not saying its a scam coin ).

Even if it was a failed coin... i would expect the dev to come out and say its failed and this way the investors and miners will know that it's over.

The lack of info shows lack of respect to the investors and supporters of the coin and I honestly think that the name of the person should be public. so people could take that into consideration before choosing to do business with such a person.

I'd be happy to get more info about the person(the one who was taking care of ISR in the past 3 months) PM me

Thanks

P.S - Is there anyone in here who is able to check if a large amount of ISR moved from the ISR premine wallet?

I am 100% behind you on this and will do my best to help. The devs are absolutely ignoring the community. The beta website looks like absolute amateurish crap and there is no more news coming since the conference. From what the devs are saying it looks like they are working non-stop and super-hard on ISR when it actually looks like some side project of a student. I have spent months mining, hoping for ISR to take off and to support the idea of a country coin that seems to have a plan, but now I am more and more afraid that I have been WASTING electricity for months and months and the devs are just another bunch of scammers...

A vibrant on-line community and devs communicating with people is a basic requirement for any successful coin and ISR is failing that miserably....

Totally disagree with you!
To my understanding and judgment this is definitely not a scam coin.

I personally believe that the devs team did all the right things. This coin is highly developed there is
•   Desktop wallet (Obviously).
•   Online Exchange (Bittrex)
•   Mobile wallet for Android and iOS (not iOS native though).
•   Paper Wallet.
•   Sophisticated and well organized distributing system for Israeli citizens.
•   Social wallet and tipping system in Facebook.
•   Local Online Exchange for fiat Israeli currency.
•   Change stores in Israel (Not sure about that).

How many coins achieved so many features in so little time?
How many coins achieved so many features and infrastructure at all?

But there is some critical component that Isracoin does not have:
•   Luck (and the interest of the Israeli people, AKA: PR).

I've personally invested in this coin and I'm pretty upset watching it going the way it goes.
Nevertheless, luck and public interest can change any day, and since I believe in the devs, I'm not selling.

I actually agree with you...but that is why I do not get why the devs are ignoring the community and do not maintain the forum, website and their fiat/isr website.

There is nothing happening in here, there is no IRC channel, nothing....

PR starts here. Their website has not changed from its introduction and http://www.israchange.co.il/ looks like they put it together over lunch. Sorry, but definitely not shiny...and not in English either...
The main web page has its last tweet dated over 14 days ago.
There should be pictures and videos of people buying coins in local shops, or at least the FIRST ISRAELI ICE CREAM STAND THAT ACCEPTS ISR...SOMETHING!

BIG NEWS FOR ISR - You can now pay with #isracoin and bitcoin for land parcels in a high-end condo project in Israel!
where is that? any pictures? could have just pulled this out of your a**....

•   Mobile wallet for Android and iOS (not iOS native though).
why bother developing one of the first wallets that work on iPhone and then not milking the crap in PR value out of that?

•   Sophisticated and well organized distributing system for Israeli citizens.
any proof? haven't seen that reflecting in price, volume or any pictures or videos...nothing...

•   Online Exchange (Bittrex) it has been there for months and the volume and trading is not showing any real activity...especially considering it's the only place to trade them...

•   Local Online Exchange for fiat Israeli currency.
as I said before. There were news about it being in Beta and NOTHING since. As their web page. Seems like the box is ticked and that's good enough.

You can't just develop a coin and ignore the community. That is what this is all about. If I had no idea about ISR and came here or to their web page I would immediately dismissed it
as there is nothing tangible or obviously vibrant about this coin.

The fact that I was here since the beginning and been mining and supporting the coin and still really believe in its potential is why I'm driven mad to see the lack of interest from the devs.
....and price slowly declining.

If I was the dev I would be like: We got all the infrastructure in place, let's start making people aware! I am not saying they are supposed to pump the coin, I was in this for the long haul anyway, but ignoring PR is not the way to go either. I am already paying more for power than I mine (I never mine to make profit instantly, but just comparing mined value with price of electricity).
I am essentially buying ISR by paying my electricity bills and if this trend of slowly trickling news and dead forum continues I will have to decide if I am willing to keep throwing money away or hold my bag and stop mining. If other people do the same the coin will be dead in the water...

I still belive in ISR, I understand that situation in the country is difficult, I understand that fighting the legacy systems, corruption and people in power is not easy... but that much more
you should share that with the community and keep us in the loop...

All I am trying to say is: Everything seems to be in place (from what we know) and yet the price, volume and life of the on-line community is almost dead.
What is going on???
