I hope you were able to acquire the bitUSD you were looking for. As soon as I saw your willingness to escrow through a trusted MOD on this forum, I felt confident and had no doubts. People are reading too much into this (albeit from feeling burned in the past). Best of luck with your project!

Oh yeah of course.
Sorry so quiet, I needed to sleep after 28hrs of being online.
Also I don't blame anyone a bit for being concerned. It's not fun being scammed.
@Luckybit, you never even asked to get paid guy
You're a real booster and I find that awesome.
No one demanded anything. I never said they did. Please re-read what I said before. A few people mentioned that they would like to be paid upfront (or paid before they start), and I realized that this was actually a good idea and a thing that needed to be taken care of. I'm not sure where any other intimation is coming from.
Once we started talking about pay, I came to the sudden realization that despite having cash to do so, we had no legitimate plan to get them that cash.
Since everyone (who agreed) had agreed to a USD amount, bitUSD seemed viable, but making a large acquisition in an illiquid market is never a good idea.
In the end we got some of it from market, the remainder is being bought direct through bank wires with a few whales.
We fronted the cash and when it arrives safely at it's destination we will have the bitUSD.
Pretty much what we had set out to do.
What I didn't expect was the community reaction to a public offer to trade, which was really the intent of this thread.
It sort of devolved there for a bit didn't it?
@Fuzzy you make a salient point about getting to know the company better.
The vetting process is important, especially since a HUGE part of our plan is to make it easier and more transparent for the community to vet others.
I said from the beginning that our plan is to "eat our own dogfood" as it were.
I am ready to start talking about what we are planning to do and how it impacts the bitshares community.
Be advised that I have some legitimate technical concerns that need to be overcome first before I start linking websites, talking about tech etc.
I seem to still be the public face of things for now. The others all seem to be busy doing their jobs while I'm here talking to you guys.
As far as my words "your community", "your coin" etc.
You need to understand where I come from on this. I'm absolutely, brand shiny new here.
I've not exactly had the warmest reception. I still feel like an outsider, hence "your this" and "your that".
This community has been around for quite awhile. Most of you that are still around, are diehards and outlasters that have weathered one hell of a storm and yet still clung to hope that things will turn around. You all have a common bond in that shared hope. I wasn't there, I can't make that same claim. I'm an outsider looking in.
My perspective is that I'm helping to build something. We are building something that leverages your tech and your coin, to do something that we expect will be immensely profitable for us. It stands a real chance of more than doubling the value of your coin, because it can alter the current market dynamic at a fundamental level. We expect that what we are doing will drive demand for BTS by exposing it to a new audience. Nevertheless, that is a side effect of what we are actually trying to achieve here.
We ask nothing of the community at large.
We would like you as individuals to examine what we are doing and to join up in your own capacity if what we are doing is something you would like to be a part of. We have need of people who are experts with this technology, because it will make it easier to guide new people into it. Some of you are already a part of this, some of you are considering it, some of you have rejected it. Most of you know little or nothing.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to ask a mod to lock this thread.
Replying to it is distracting, the original need for it has been solved and this is not the correct forum for where this conversation is going.
In the meantime I'll head over to
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/board,9.0.html sometime in the next 24hrs and start a thread.
I will detail ...
#1 Who we are
#2 What we have planned
#3 Why we are planning it
#4 How far along we are
#5 What we still need to do
#6 It's expected impact
#7 Roles that remain to be filled
Just be advised that we are not a DAC. If we need BTS we'll buy it
The choice for that forum section is merely because I don't see a "Announce your company here" area.
Thanks guys!
