Something tells me this is an alt-account created by someone who has been here awhile and they are attempting to pray on the desperate with the thoughts and dreams of success when BTS is at an all-time low in price and morale. It also seem that there are a few people blindly backing and accepting this guy despite the flags. This makes them either stupid, gullible, blind, or part of the scam. No offense of course.
Your advice is timely and should be well heeded. It is better to be careful then to regret later.
The OP should answer the questions raised by NewMine.
Sorry what questions? I read his post and I saw accusations that I felt really baseless. Never saw a single question, very few facts and just a lot of assertions.
Perhaps if he has a question he could post his question, like everyone else did.
Also nothing to regret, no one is asking for anything, not even credibility or permission.
We'll do as we like on our own schedule and structure our business according to our own needs.
I started this to explain who we are, what we are doing and how we plan to do it and what we've done so far.
It's a convenience to the community so they aren't caught off guard. I wish people would quit acting like we're trying to run a scam here, there's no scam. A scam would involve asking for something and I don't recall asking for anything but patience.
Despite the fact it's in the DAC section, we aren't a DAC and aren't seeking anything at all from the community.
Your expertise would be helpful as individuals and there are open positions that need to be filled. Filling those from within the community would be ideal, but it's still up to members to choose whether or not they are interested in having the employment.
It's in the DAC thread because there literally doesn't appear to be any place on this forum for anyone who wants to build a business around bitshares to announce themselves. If I'm wrong please point me in the proper direction or just move the thread to where it belongs.
I hate to say it, but if it bothers syou that you are looked at as a scam it is probably because you are in crypto, and preparing to do a crowdfunding campaign for a project. I am going to go out on a limb and say that everyone here has lost money to a scammer in crypto at some point so people offering services in this industry should have thick skin and be prepared to prove and defend themselves or consider something not so bleeding edge and unregulated.
Just like I've said in our background conversations, gaining trust is very important for every project. We are not bitcointalk.org where someone just posts an [ANN] and gets a hundred bitcoin thrown their way free of charge without questions or putting their rep on the line.
We have the structures in place that we have in place...for a reason.
With that said...Newmine is about as rough around the edges as it gets...but it does play it's own (oddly chaos invoking) role. I don't like admitting it all the time though...because I have learned a little bit of goes a long way :/
Some of us prefer to be polite and hospitable to everyone when we first meet them.
There is plenty of time to vet a project and calmly declare "scam" later, if that's how it turns out.
(Screaming it at every new arrival is just what troll saboteurs want to do to keep us from growing.)
But there is only one chance to make a good first impression.
So the rest of us need to quickly steer them into our Welcome Center as soon as we see them.
Please help us refer newcomers to the new
BitShares Chamber of Commerce where they will find a receptive and polite audience interested in hearing them out and helping them to make their case to the general forum.
First encounters are
not where we want everyone to show how tough and suspicious they are.
