Would you have considered the AGS sale a crowdsale?

I understand to a degree your concern of selling a dream.. but I like to get a more defined sense for what you are referring to exactly.

Is your issue with sales that have no defined terms to what is being sold?

Is your issue to it being done by individuals instead of real registered corporate entities?

Just trying to better understand the point you are making.

just wanted to make people think twice before participating on crowd-sales and pointing out that they should be extra careful before investing their hard earning money, and make of course the needed investigation before participation... just that!
(not that there are not out there some good opportunities, but still only a little fraction of the total crowd-sales are really worth it)

this is great news at seems to be a solid app!!!

 


PS will you somehow also act like a market-maker so your users will find easy bitUSD, bitEUR etc. ?  (at least for the beginning where liquidity is not great)

Could Metaexchange report the NAV value of METAFEES each month please.

You could use cyber.fund to show it in realtime. this is my fantasy portfolio tracker.

I hope it will not apply here...
3. Crowdsales Allow Unethical Behavior

It is, in fact, immoral to sell dreams.

Why? Because humans have a “wishful thinking bias”. This means that we are more likely to believe a false thing, if that false thing is a dream. Therefore, all dream-sellers have the ability to deceive (“steal money from”) the credulous.

You see, while people should be able to invest in whatever they want, others should also be able to openly criticize bad investment-choices. Unfortunately, silence is often interpreted as implicit endorsement, and so this criticism is simply too rare (because criticism makes one unpopular). With a few notable exceptions (all of which are devoutly informal, and non-startup), most people are too selfish and/or afraid to do anywhere-near the right thing.

So, crowdsales allow predators to get away with the crime of selling a dream.

had a very interesting reading here... http://bitcoinhivemind.com/blog/crowdsales/

New Money project using blockchain technology poses lethal threat to cable TV

The New Money project powered by Sollywood TV using blockchain technology target to wrap cable tv operation completely
A media content platform that among other things leverage's micro-payments to enable content creators to optimally price their product at lower price points & for less fees/overhead than has previously been possible, thereby potentially increasing profits &/or creating entirely new markets for some content.

they probably removed your content and there is no working link to the "New Money project"

To clarify:

The reason for this "voting out" is not because those workers have lost support, but because the approval voting for workers no longer uses *down*-voting.
You can read about it here: https://github.com/bitshares/bsips/blob/master/bsip-0015.md

Anyway, thanks for checking your votes

Yes , I can confirm. BM is able to vote all workers in with 35 mil less  BTS!
Hurray! ...Hurray!  Hurray!

Let's see if we can keep it with even less BTS? Who will volunteer to dump another 35 mil?

... in BTS we trust

2. Creating another crypto token which is good for micro payments is not really enough to disrupt anything.

I am afraid yes.
