It is just a very poor, unfortunate decision by the dev team that, obviously, will not work. It has ZERO chance to work.
The dev team simply tried the impossible, which is to please everyone instead of doing the proper thing which was the initial plan of letting the market itself determine the price. This is going to be a mess in the end, I'm afraid.
What does working mean? You are assuming that Breakoutcoin is like all the other scam alternative projects that need bitcointalk to stay alive. Breakoutcoin should be less reliant on Bitcointalk then just about any other alternative crypto project. I would hope David Hanlon and the rest of the Breakoutgaming team isn't relying on Bitcointalk for the necessary funding. FFS, he was the Chief Operating Officer of the Rio Hotel Casino. How could they not have alternative funding sources outside of this sewer of a forum?
Barabbas, I would agree with you 100% if I thought this offering was the only funding source, but this project has too many well known players for me to believe that's the case.
