Seems to be some movement in terms of updates and developments with this 'Rimbitwhale' now in the picture. He apparently held a zoom meeting the other day to run over future intentions and what's happening at present. Still a lot of confusion surrounding what's happening and is more focused around marketing then development, but if the old known scammer of an owner Mark is handing over the reigns, then it can only be a good thing. I suppose if the coin is fully distributed then that is something different they an promote. I still have my suspicions that he's still heavily involved and is behind the recent uptake, but whilst I still have some Rimbit left over from a long time ago, I'll hodl out and see what happens.

This was the text from the initial Rimbit Indiegogo campaign and what the creator sold to people. It's actually laughable now reading back on the below considering some of the developments in the time since like him refusing to destroy any of the remaining Rimbit and especially the owner removing the entire forum, deleting posts and starting again with it because people questions his motives and lies.

I think the premise behind the coin and the general community are positive and welcoming. But it's never going to go anywhere now unfortunately due to this Marcello Karlsson guy and his greed.

Original Campaign Text

Rimbit will be the first coin in the history of Crypto Currency to have full distribution.

On April 18, 2015 history will be made and those who have Rimbit will be part of the new generation of Crypto Currency users who are in full control of the currency, with no outside influence. The world can have its first look at a 100% distributed digital currency and can begin watching it very closely as it will be the benchmark for Bitcoin and other alternative currencies on the market, as they reach their 100% distribution in 100 years (or so)!

History was made when Bitcoin first came onto the digital currency radar in 2009 and can be looked at as Uri Gagarin being the first man in space.
History will also be made when Rimbit hits 100% distribution in April 18, 2015 and can be looked at as Neil Armstrong being the first man to step foot on the surface of the moon.

With full distribution comes great interest in digital currency that no matter how you deconstruct it, is 100% fully decentralized, 100% fully distributed and has absolutely no outside influences, such as mining, currency control etc. It can for the first time in history, be viewed as the pivotal turning point in the digital currency market.

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, also runs true for Rimbit as it takes its journey to April 18, 2015, approximately 220 days from the time this article is written.

To ensure that April 18, 2015 remains as the date for 100% distribution, we have also decided to destroy any Rimbit still in initial holding, by sending any remainder to a dummy wallet that is on a USB drive and having a final sacrificial burning of those last coins.

It will truly be a great day on Saturday April 18, 2015 as Rimbit makes its mark on history! To those lucky to have Rimbit on that day, we would like to thank you all for your faith and more importantly, your foresight in Rimbit, that may have had its doubters, but has truly come forward and become the full decentralized currency that others will aspire to. We didn't start out as decentralized, but we had to make it that way, to achieve the goals that we have already set out to do and the rewards of scarcity, decentralization are truly belonging to any Rimbit holder. The future is yours!

Has this guy responded to these allegations?

It looks like a desperate attempt to continue gaining a salary now that the Indiegogo campaign has ended.

Definitely a better introduction to Rimbit. At least it shows what it is and what it is about quickly, rather than having to delve through a forum to find answers.

Would be great to see some actual discussion rather than some users hopping on purely to abuse without even presenting a valid reason why..

Personally, Rimbit has been a great introduction into the Crypto world for myself and I assume many others based on discussions on the Rimbit forum. Surely it only benefits the greater community if more people are getting involved, learning and trading various coins.

That's a really good summary! Nice to see a fair comparison without any sledging as seems to be the case in most crypto articles or forums.

I also have some Rimbit from the IGG campaign. Been great seeing how the community has grown over the past 12 or so months. Hopefully more people jump on board and adopt some Rimbit!
