RE: The crash and burn of the CryptoHunt game

in #ico7 years ago

I don't believe it was a scam. The funds are being returned and have been so for a few weeks thanks to the smart contracts. If there were some funds taken it would be a very small amount and would have been from the private investors pre-ICO.

Sort:  

They've been returned?? Wow. So there has been progress. ;-)

Thanks for the info.

No, the funds from the first ICO, which I developed, have been refunded and that works perfectly. The problem is in the fact that the owner made a second "ICO" without the rest of the team which was just a regular Ethereum address to which people sent money. That money is not getting refunded.

Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Believe it or not, that's still progress from 2014. It was so usual for scammers/failures to just vanish with the crypto, I was actually shocked when the promoter of a failed ICO refunded me my 0.5 BTC.

That's the advantage of smart contracts. We wouldn't have built the original ICO if they said "no refunds". Building it into the ICO was a condition we had to proceed with the thing. Luckily that turned out to be a very good decision. Live and learn...
