I don't think it is a scam either, but the BitIndia team really needs to do more ground work to build trust and understanding in the community. Their whitepaper helps, but any YouTube video they release seems to capture only half a thought. In fact, I learned more about BitIndia from listening to John Mcafee talk for five minutes than in any of BitIndia's own YouTube promotional videos. From the bits I know, it sounds like a very cool and empowering idea for rural India, but the team seems so ragtag...just makes it a difficult buy.
