Well. I see. We will try to solve this problem as soon as possible. Stay tuned and be patient. You can write me in pm if you want as i'm the part of the team.
As a SOMN team member, can you please tell:
1) When the SOMN smart contract was published exactly (showing that funds are no longer escrowed)?
2) When exactly did you tell SebastianJu that he's not escrowing?
3) Did you inform investors in any way that the ICO is no longer escrowed? If no, why didn't you do that?
1) About 16:50 UTC yesterday.
2) Again, yesterday in the morning
3) Well, as i remember there were official statement after preICO about our work with escrow, etc.
In april team came to the conclusion that this round will be without escrow, and as i remember someone had to report him about this decision, i can't tell was it done or not, but we didn't confirm anywhere the participation of escrow in ICO. And, well, here's the official point that i'm obliged to tell:
"SONM uses multisignature address; three people have a key, they are Sergey Ponomarev, Alexey Antonov and SONM's advisor, Chronobank CEO Sergey Sergienko. We think that the trust towards SONM team members and Sergey Sergienko is much higher than the trust towards one person who recieves all funds as an escrow. SONM team believes that paying commission to the escrow guarant is an unnecessary investor's money spenditure and we have no right to trust Sebastian the money raised as he's not an authorized representative. SONM team had spoken to the advisors and made the described decision"
Thanks for the detailed answer! But I'd like to point that escrow is still advertised on the OP "We'll use escrow with multisignature wallet and escrow to ensure safety for all the ICO participants. " I'll also try to find the statement (if it exists and was actually published).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Sebastian has got way more reputation and trust in crypto world than 3 named team members/advisors and your statement about trust is simply wrong. Sebastian also said other variants were not discussed (multisig escrowed wallet, for example, involving several reputable escrow)...
I'm absolutely sure investors should have the some form of control for the funds (escrow is best option), otherwise these 3 guys can do anything the want with "donated" money...
