Mark, some follow-ups if you'd be so kind:

  1) How long were you in prison and what were the charges?
Mark >> Two years of a four year sentence for cultivation of cannabis

If you were making a recurring $2m annually from your websites, how did you get into so much financial trouble that you had to resort to a grow op?

  2) How much money has been raised in Bitcoin terms by the ICO and what was the target?
Mark >>  Most of our investment has been made in UKP and USD this number is under $500,000 so far.

Is any data available for how that money has been used or invested? Has any kind of audit been performed on your operations so far?

  3) Was BanxShares based on the Foocoin template?
Mark >> To be honest I have no idea, the dev who did our original wallet was asked to set it up, that dev is no longer around and ultimately didn't do a very good job of it.

You have no idea whether your own dev scammed you by copypasting from a template? Surely the current dev would have appraised you, with a view to pursuing legal action.

  4) Please describe the current state of active Banx projects and explain any shortfalls, ie. 1 ATM of a promised 12 this year, 300 GH/s mining operation of a promised 2 TH/s, etc. Please mention which projects have yet to be commenced.
Mark >> As previously explained we are way behind on our plans due to not selling all Banx Shares. We never promised anything we projected based on being able to sell all banx. We got up to 90 Th of mining, that equipment is being sold off (They were Spondoolies SP31 miners) and based in the US. We have Banx Mint, Banx.io, Banx Cards, Banx Trade up and running at the moment in addition to our information and membership products.

Wasn't your funding goal $10m? Given you only achieved 5% of that, do you believe your further projections-not-promises are credible?

  5) You mentioned moving your operations to the Isle of Man, has this happened yet?
Mark >> This was last year and didn't happen due to IOM not being ready for crypto companies, we are in HK, Panama and the UK now

So there's a 12 month expiry period on your words? Why didn't you investigate whether the jurisdiction was suitable before discussing the move publically?

  6) 16% monthly ROI with virtually zero risk? Please provide trading record and specify the venue where these trades are being conducted.
Mark >>  This has been done in the response thread to Ian DeMartino here: http://digitalmoneytimes.com/banxshares-was-removed-from-coinmarketcap-rankings-and-not-because-of-ponzi-accusations-the-official-response-from-mark-lyford/

Which link in particular is your trading record which specifies the venue?

  8.) Why was the company JVZoo included as an asset of BanxCapital in the documentation sent to Ian DeMartino?
Mark >> JVZoo is not our company is is the affiliate platform we use for product sales.

So, you're now funding BanxCapital through online marketing ventures? Why wasn't that discussed in the prospectus?

  9) Please explain how holders of BanxShares may sell them, at this current time.
Mark >> They are able to sell them on banx.io if they don't have pre agreed hold periods.

So the initial holding period was 12 months from intial purchase? Was that timeframe subsequently increased? And why did you claim 95% of BANX are traded directly through you in exchange for money wires? Do you plan to continue selling BANX personally?

12) Roughly what percentage of BanxShares is currently held by yourself, BanxCapital and its employees?
Mark >> I have said from day one that I own 20% of them , the company owns 20% of them.

True, I remember reading that. So which entity holds all the unsold BANX? I estimate the unsold constitute around 50% of total supply, is that figure roughly correct?

I'd also like to ask whether the reclassification of BANX on CoinMarketCap has influenced your marketing. Have you updated your online marketing to reflect the dramatic fall in the market cap?

edit: typo (claim) and smiley again

Oh, one more thing... If BanxPlatinum promises subscribers will “reliably… generate over 16% monthly ROI with virtually zero risk,” then why pursue anything besides this fantastically profitable venture? And why dilute your profitability by sharing the secret?

Nice work, Chris! A great introduction.

I'd also like to see a more in-depth video. Something which covers mf-tzo's pointsp lus margin calls, economic incentives for the long and short sides and so on. I'd also like to learn how to create a Smartcoin.

A video about user issued assets and their major applications would also be fantastic.
