Bter had been one of the exchanges we were talking to. We don't know all the facts, but the allegations coming out on bitcointalk and twitter about Bter and Bitbay are troubling. Our condolences to those who've been affected by what might have happened there.
This sort of thing not only damages the coinholders immediately impacted. They hurt all of us - it makes it harder for those of us who want to bring real innovation and value added to this space to get the support and confidence we need to make our project a success.
We're new to this crypto space and for us the crowdfund has never just been about raising funds. It's primary function was to serve as promotional/marketing event - an introduction of our brand to a larger audience.
We want a clean launch that's seen as a clean launch. Nectar aims to be a bright light in the troubled world that is crypto today.
Needless to say, after today's allegations, we are no longer interested in having our CFC co-hosted on bter and not interested in having our coin listed there unless the allegations involving bter and Bitbay are conclusively proven false.
Judging by what we've read, that seems pretty unlikely.
To our community, we'd say this - it's darkest before the dawn. We intent on bringing a breath of freshair to the world of altcoins.
As you can see from my signature I'm involved with BitBay from ICO on and it feels good to see someone seeing how this not only hurts investors, but the whole cryptocommunity. Nevertheless the team got rid of Bobsurplus and company. In how much BTer is involved has yet to be investigated, but I would suggest to be cautious when dealing with them.
I also believe in Nectarcoin and what it stands for and that's why I watch for the launch and hoping for more transparency then BitBay has shown up until now.
