My problem is not that I think it's a scam, I don't think that, my issue is that it was clearly their fault for not considering the block time issue. Their (written by them) directions clearly indicated the time was 9:00EDT for stage 1 not 9:02EDT. And then one hour exactly for stage 2. Further, they were asked point blank - is it based on block or "real time?" His response was "real time." So what is one supposed to think? Real time, which only further supported the clear directions that were written by them. And then a last minute announcement in their slack channel that quite a few of us did not have access to because they were not accepting new requests.

My time stamp was 1401:44 and I still ended up in the 25 block. One second, and I would have been in block 26.

But even that, I understand mistakes happen, but instead of taking responsibility and admitting it was their as well as trying to make it right - they chose not to. As a president of a company and having a board of directors full of CEO's from Harvard, Dartmouth, etc. I can tell you first hand, there are always ways to make things right. This was not it. So from my standpoint, all I see is poor judgement, bad decision making and a lack of fortitude, which are not the traits of a CEO you want running a company you are invested in. And trust me, there were a lot of bad decisions made along the way starting with the piss poor return policy.

So as far as I'm concerned, the whole thing was horrendous and I will not support it and if asked about redpulse, I will give my opinion. Personally, I think they screwed a lot of people over and they had a chance to make it right - and they chose not to. And that, rests on the shoulders of the CEO.

RPX statement is weak asf.

A lot of people bought NEO due to the ico and now you're screwed. Accepting NEO for the ico is a pump attempt and screwing up the ICO time-stamp is another attempt to force people to dump the neo for loss.

If you bought $50k worth of NEO for the ico, you already lost $10,000 and this shit will dump to $20 or less by the time you got your refund.


Red Pulse Team should have open source the contract code and be precise about the time stamp.


Give block 1445025 their RPX token.

Hmmm... I think maybe they should give people in the first 10 seconds (?) their tokens- to take into account  the timestamp.

The refund timing issue -is an issue I am not saying it isn't...

BUT ....using logic

Red Pulse doesn't care how much OUR NEO are worth - they sold 1000 RPX for 1 NEO and they did NOT SELL 1000 RPX  for $34 !! what the price of OUR NEO is ,is of no concern to them...if you sent 100 NEO - you are owed 100 NEO !! nota USD amount!

Let me put it to you another way say you sent 100 NEO at $35 (worth $3500) so you could buy 10,000RPX and transaction failed and you are due a refund - say there was a 2 day refund delay...

Say that during those two days NEO went UP in price from $35 to £55

What would you expect your refund to be ? (apart from speedy)

Would you expect back 100 NEO with a value of $5500 ( I WOULD,if the sale was RPX for NEO only with no dollar exchange)

........or would you expect only approx 63.636363 NEO coins back ?  i.e 63.636363 NEO @ $55=$3500? this is what you invested right? so tough luck you are  out of 36.37 NEO?

YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS !! the fact you were paying with NEO at a 1000 RPX to 1 NEO ratio was perfectly clear !!


Also ... whilst RPX don't care about the dollar value of OUR NEO - they sure do  care about the dollar value of THEIR NEO! They raised funds in NEO and have no advantage gainedby NEO going down in price at all, so I do not buy the pump and dump theory (also the rest of the markets have also pulled back)

There are  a few people, in the first few seconds of the 2nd hour, that possibly could argue for the tokens.. or at least the speediest of refunds.

Thing is no one is guaranteed RPX and no one has the RIGHT to RPX or any token during an ICO - you can think otherwise but you will only be upsetting yourself Wink

The thing that is your right is to have any refunds processed in a timely and reasonable fashion

All the newbie accounts popping up to have a whinge ....  Cool


JUST TO BE CLEAR !  REFUND POLICY SHOULD HAVE BEEN  PUBLIC FROM THE START AND LAID OUT IN ADVANCE  HOW
WHEN AND IF A REFUND WOULD BE NECESSARY !! THIS SHOULD BE A TAKE AWAY FOR ALL SMART CONTRACT CREATORS


(ps REFUNDS  TO THOSE WHO GOT CAUGHT OUT BY TIMESTAMP SHOULD BE PROCESSED FIRST AND IN VERY SHORT ORDER!)

(pps Crypto hint - don't sell at a loss - use foresight and mitigate your own risks and losses)


I was literally 16 seconds from getting red pulse. I waited on purpose 1 minute and 30 seconds - time stamp was 1401:44. This whole thing is bullshit and they don't even have fortitude to apologize for not taking this into consideration in their directions, authored by them!

And apparently he was asked if it was block time or real time - his response real time. There's a slack screen shot of his conversation, which makes it worse!

RPX Sale
Official Statement on
2nd Contribution Period


I know there's been a lot of frustration and unhappiness regarding start of the second period of our RPX sale. As stated previously, during this first period, the cap was set at 1,000USD (27 NEO). At the conclusion of this first hour, the cap was lifted to 50,000USD (1,352 NEO). Consequently, many people who wanted to invest more, waited until the second period to invest more.

People who contributed NEO as part of block 1445025, were not considered by the smart contract to be part of the second period of participation yet. However, those that were part of block 144026, and going forward, were included. The reason for this is because smart contract timestamps are deterministic, meaning that it must output the same result, given the same input. In NEP-5 standard, the code used is:

uint now = Blockchain.GetHeader(Blockchain.GetHeight()).Timestamp;

Executing this line gets the timestamp of the PREVIOUS block, because that is the only way all the nodes can agree on what "now" actually means, since the current block 1445025 was still in progress. For everyone that contributed as part of block 144025, the "now" parameter was returned as 2017-10-08 13:59:50 GMT, outside the window of the second period. When the next block 1445026 began, the "now" parameter was then returned as 2017-10-08 14:01:44 GMT, which is within the window of the second period.

Regarding automatic refunds, we were unable to do this as a refund function could only be accomplished with implicit transaction outputs. The NEO blockchain was not designed to have implicit transaction outputs for global assets (such as NEO), because it would bring a number of problems and risk to the SPV protocol. After consulting with the NEO core dev team, the next steps for them are: NEO will provide a trigger mechanism, so that future smart contracts can refuse a transaction upon receiving a global asset transfer at a certain condition. This way, there is no need for refund, because the asset would not be accepted in the first place.

For Red Pulse our next steps are to focus on refunds. I understand the sensitivity regarding having your NEO tied up, so I'm prioritizing the refunds above all else, and personally working around the clock to process them. I aim to have these completed within a week.

Thank you everyone for your understanding, and I apologize for any misunderstanding and inconvenience caused.


Best regards,
Jonathan Ha
Founder & CEO, Red Pulse

Then your directions, which were authored by red pulse, should have indicated 9:02 EDT instead of 9:00 EDT. You've cost me money, time, frustrations, lack of GAS collection, NEO tanking, etc. all because you failed when writing your directions, not us. If you would have honored your directions and given us red pulse when we executed the send, per your requirements, or made it right in some way I would be fine. However, you have not, which only highlights your inability to be a CEO of any company. There are numerous ways of making this right, but instead you have given us a half ass response without even the fortitude of taking responsibility for your screw up. This isn't CEO material. A CEO does not shirk is responsibilities, successes or failures of his company. And it is very hard to support any company with a CEO lacking such qualities.

Red Pulse, this is a member of your community and a fellow employee in end-to-end ICO processes. I work with ICO projects and help them through every single step in the process.

Red Pulse, you have done a good job but today you absolutely failed and handled the 2nd round ICO process in an absolutely terrible fashion.
First and foremost, you have closed your main channel of communication to most investor on slack. It was not possible to join?Huh What is this? This is extremely unfair towards your investor. You cant only give some people information that directly benefits them and leaves the rest in the dark. You know what this is called? Insider trading, by definition. I am sure this was not your intention, but you need to be professional and cannot only give them access to some and keep most out of the loop.

From a legal perspective, this highly illegal. You cannot change the terms and conditions and the contribution time shortly before the 2nd round ICO. You understand this, right? You cant just change the information. This is highly illegal, and if not now, you will have serious legal repercussions in the future.
What is worst is that you have gone from a very credible and legitimate project in the minds of your investors to a massive scam. You have lost a lot of support with your action. You have lost credibility, you have favoured a smaller slack circle over others, you have broken your own legal terms and conditions. You have done wrong to the people that supported you.

Red Pulse Team, you need to take responsibility for this and compensate all of these investors that contributed on time with the adequate amount of tokens. Take responsibility for your fuck up and make sure that you do not disappoint the crypto community that has backed you. Do not underestimate the power they have in ensuring your future success.

This is from one professional to another. Make things right. If you do not, It will have serious legal consequences for you in the future and a huge base of your community will be gone.

Pretty well said.

I must admit, I'm upset. I made sure the wallet was setup right, went over the instructions numerous times, watched what I could as far as twitter, facebook, etc. They weren't letting anyone into slack. I spent hours doing that just to make sure that I executed it right PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. Not my instructions, not NEO's instructions, nobody's instructions but Redpulse's instructions. It was their coin, their instructions. And because they screwed up, we suffer in terms of not getting red pulse coins and or watch our NEO tank before we can even get it back to sell it while they collect the GAS off of it. It was extremely unprofessional all the way around and if they don't make it right, I will go out of my way to ensure no one supports red pulse. I understand that mistakes can happen, and I'm completely understanding of that fact, but only if the company or person owns up to it and makes it right. However, if they try to be dodgy or get out of it some how to me that is the first signs of a company that I won't and cannot support. That's a company that lacks integrity. I'm not going to make my judgement yet, but I had a lot of money tied up in that and I'm fairly pissed.

I was block 1445025 and we purchased it a minute thirty after the phase 2 time (ended up being 1401:44), because we wanted to make sure we didn't get it to early. Again, followed THEIR instructions to a T.

I'd also add that it is in the best interest of the customers that did manage to get redpulse to push for a fix too, because this type of negative PR will not be good for redpulse as a whole.

Same here - We did it by the paperwork and instructions. We didn't see this last minute social media post saying it was going to start in 5 minutes.

We even waited 1 minute and 30 seconds or so to be sure we didn't get it to early.

We ended up on block 1445025 with a time of 1401:44

No redpulse - they logged us as being early and now we are shit out of luck (apparently).

I also share the same sentiment that meanwhile my NEO is going to go down. So I'm getting screwed twice, because I have no way of getting out of my NEO until I get my NEO back.

Pretty frustrating experience.

Decentralized exchanges are the future. It is not a matter of if, just when. And we get closer everyday, especially when you have governments that use fear as a weapon. The old tried and true top-down approach of most governments.

But there are a lot of platforms and inventions that are born before their time and without good marketing and incentives - these things can fall flat on their face.

Take me for example, I'm fairly new to cryptocurrency. I've only been doing this since April, and I've heard about BitShares and their project, but I didn't realize they had a working platform. I assumed (wrongly) that no one had a decentralized exchange yet. I have feeling I'm not the only one that thought this, which is why an effective marketing campaign is important.

Incentives can go a long ways too - like binance for example, who has the bnb coin which can save you money. The question that bitshares should ask is what does bitshares offer that others don't. I get that they offer a decentralized exchange, which by itself is big, but to be truly successful that line questioning can't stop there. There are only two things that typically drive traffic or make people want something. Either it's so attractive (in terms of what it does, offers, usability, etc.) that people naturally flock to it or fear.

Bounty for all Programs will be paid in up to a maximum of 60 days after the end of the ICO(4th August), in order to mantain market at a good level and also give Bounty Hunters the chance to receive Tokens which already have value built into them.

This has been stated before and there will be no other approximation other than this since it can be considered Insider Trading.

As of this moment the total Pool is equal to almost 200k$, releasing such a big amount on market right away would surrely affect the price and the general standing of a newly estabilished platform, so you have to understand this, especially since it's been stated several times throughout the Thread. You will receive Tokens that will have a higher dollar equivalent value than you initially thought they would have, so it benefits you as well.


Stupid reason from Dev, they are scamming Bounty hunters, they will not pay at all, real amount is not 200k$ but only 140k$, 74000(bounty total) x 2$(current price).
they raised 30million$, but they afraid for 140k$ effect the market, that is bullshit, this bounty program only want to scam participant.
the team will runaway before 60 days, and abondoned this stox.

SCAM ALERT !!!!

Dont buy any STX, soon it will Drop to 1 satoshi


Frankly, I am not sure I believe this is a scam. You can argue the merits of their decision, but a scam I don't believe. First and foremost, the entire team with their linked in profiles are listed on the website. If they decided to take 30 million and run or abandoned the project - each one of them would be committing career suicide. They would be black balled from the entire industry, because their credibility would be completely shot. Not only that, but imagine the emails, posts and probably death threats from people that have invested in STX. This is the days of the internet, I can find phone numbers, addresses, facebook pages, twitter accounts, emails, etc. It would not be very smart for anyone to do what you are suggesting.

Stox is the killing app in ETH blockchain, the first prediction market will be stox. Augur and Gnosis are vaporware.

I don't disagree considering STX has a big team and company backing it. On paper, it looks beautiful. That said, it would be nice to hear some sort of update on what exactly is planned or what the big announcement is?

Re: [ANN] [IXT] InsureX - blockchain-secured marketplace for Insurance
by
BeyondDeception
on 21/08/2017, 18:45:02 UTC
I have several questions, because it's not real clear what the benefit is of the coin or the service.

1. As a consumer looking for insurance, why would I use your service over another service? There are various services out there now that allow you to search the market place for different insurance companies. Do I get to pay for medical insurance in bitcoins? Or IXT? What is the appeal? Other than you are using blockchain technology? 
2. As a holder of your coins, what is the benefit? I see mention of  reward pool (there's not a lot information on this) and small rewards given in the form of IXT when using the service through transactions. Is the main benefit? Does accumulating these coins allow me to purchase something in your market place? Do I get a discount? Do I get dividends? What is the driving force to increase the value of the coin? 
3. Is this PoS? Is there a return of some sort?
4. As more of a side question, one of the selling points was to connect the insurance company directly to the customer, which I get (cut out the middle man), but it looks like the broker can also utilize your service?

I guess, I'm not seeing the immediate appeal of the coin or the service. Not to say there isn't - I'm not trying to come across the wrong way, maybe I am just not understanding it, but it feels like the coin is just being used as a primary way to fund the company without much benefit to the coin holder.

https://safe.exchange/t/new-website/1059/7

We have a first iteration on the text, I’m looking forward to collaborate on optimizing the text.

In the first place the core principles are established only then can we make the message completely clear.

The purpose of the website is to appeal to the mainstream in a fun way. This marketplace afterall will demand people to have ease and pleasure of use.

@billie to deal with these kinds of discussions we will want to employ the Safex Holder Chat. Which will be released on the next iteration of the wallet.

We’re currently synchronizing a blockchain for the wallet to link up to for everyone’s use so standby. We’ll be in touch in real time as those gates get passed through.

This is the last update that I know of.... This was a few hours ago.

So you guys trust Safex who promised the wallet 2 times, and 2 times it did not deliver.

You guys are completely mad. Living in a fairyworld with pixiedust and unicorns. Embarrassed

Everyone should do their own research and come to their own conclusion. That said, as someone that is in IT, technology and software development does not always go as planned.

There was also a lot of confusion that Sunday was the day it was going to be released. They never said that, it was always to be released this Wednesday. Presentation was on Sunday.

It's funny how trolls are assaulting everyone, either they want the price to dump to buy more, either they missed the train and are insanely mad from the huge profits we got so far. I hope people won't pay attention to them and fall in their trap. Safex is the future and it's just starting, moon isn't the final destination on this one, we're way beyond that. Let them hate and die from madness in some years when we'll be earning shitload of dividends from the platform. See you there everyone ! Smiley

Yeah, trolls are like a disgruntled kid who shows up uninvited to a birthday party, tells everyone that the cake sucks and the presents are sub-par, shits on the floor, and then expects everyone to pat them on the back for it.

Sure, they don't have any friends at the party, but they got to shit on someones floor, and that seems to be what they came for in the first place.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

In my experience, trolls are a sign the coin is maturing past obscurity and landing on everyone's radars. A negative Yang to the positive Yin being manufactured through the hard work of the devs/teams. You can't fully know how cool your community is without some bad apples to compare the good ones to.  Wink

Exactly, i couldn't have said it any better ! Cheesy

Two idiots, making fun of each other...

Did the team deliver the wallet as promised TODAY? Fucking scammers.

They didn't promise it today? Haven't you been reading the posts? The wallet is released on the 9th. Public presentation of the wallet and soon to be new website was today.
