DREP doing DREKT things, delaying further token distribution til after mainnet launch...

Btw this is after DREP set up a pre-mainnet (honestly, wtf is that?) in which users had to convert their old DREP tokens over to new "pre-mainnet" tokens. The hilarious thing about this is that the new contract address for "pre-mainnet" DREP looks to be just another ERC20 address/contract...

How do you swap these old ERC20 DREP to new ERC20 DREP? You have to email them and they process it manually.

"To ensure your asset security, the swap request will be reviewed within 1–2 working days" LOL

What a disingenuous tactic to lock up more of the supply on unsuspecting token holders...

Dear DREPer,

For the token swap request email sent after 16th, September, it requires a longer swap time. DREP team will review your email once a week and send it back to you once a month.

For those people who have sent token swap request email before 16th, normally we will review your email within 1-2 working days. However, there are some abnormal transactions, that’s why some people haven’t received their new token. DREP team will deal with these abnormal transactions by this month. Thanks a lot for your patience.

Btw, if you missed the email on the 6th of September requring you to swap tokens by the 16th (a whole 10 days grace period) your email wil now be reviewed ONCE A WEEK and tokens sent ONCE A MONTH.

Seems like even if you did get in before the 16th, some users still haven't received swapped tokens.

And these guys think they can build a working mainnet? 👀

It's looking like it's over for BQQQ.

After a sordid history since launch, which included promising IEO's yet not being able to deliver a single one, a steadily declining token price, an incompetent CEO, along with many other failed initiative's, it appears they now fired their advisors and have offered them 100% commission based payments to list as many shitcoins as possible.

Problem is, who wants to pay to list on Bitsdaq? LOL. They can't even support their own token let alone others. Pure cashgrab tactics.

Did we mention these advisors hold a significant amount of BQQQ that will now be vested and dumped. RIP.

Other channels like Blockchain Lobsters might tell you this is negative and FUD and that we should all be focusing on more positive things like educating ourselves. Hard to be positive when you're a BQQQ bagholder though, yet another set of duped investors who were promised the world and delivered and atlas. When it comes to education the best lessons in life are the ones that cost you the most...

BQQQ = HybridBlock 2.0

Block.one charged by the SEC for the EOS ICO

Raised $4 billion. Paid a $24 million fine. Tidy bit of business really.

After BitMax delists one of their own IEO projects, DeepCloud, an advisor to the DEEP project hits back, with claims that BitMax -

- Shane Molidor (former FBG) Head of Biz Dev for BitMax is incompetent
- BitMax's MM burned $1.275m of MM funds for DEEP in a matter of weeks
- BitMax claimed to have bought back $300K USD worth of DEEP tokens from the market when in fact they were brought back with DEEP's own MM funds
- Have followed a similar path with other IEO's on BitMax, DOS, DUO and Ferrum. The only execption is UAT which is George's pet project.
- Finished up with a threat of "Several of the BitMax IEO victims are allegedly looking to join forces to consider legal options; don’t be too surprised to see a visit from the SEC or the NYSDFS at BitMax’s headquarters in NYC."

Deepcloud's version of events regarding BitMax, straight from the horse's mouth

https://medium.com/@DeepCloud_AI/statement-in-regards-to-bitmax-delisting-of-deepcloud-ai-1cd0072ade

BitMax just did an AMA in their Telegram group regarding the DEEP project situation.

You can read the full AMA from this link here - https://news.1rj.ru/str/BitMaxioEnglishOfficial/317899

We posted a few main takeaway messages in our public group, you can read them here - https://news.1rj.ru/str/WolfCryptoPub/214333

This is our take on the situation...

1. DEEP released more tokens than originally promised....FACT. This is dodgy and they didn't do themselves any favors here. Lying about circulating supply is one of biggest cardinal sins a project can do.

2. BitMax say they don't have an internal MM, this is BS and anything around that is just semantics. If the project doesn't have direct contact with the MM and the MM strategy, it's internal to the exchange. Obviously in this case, DEEP got fucked by allowing BitMax that much control on the MM. Most people don't realize this, but in a currently illiquid alt market, the MM and the MM strategy is pretty much the number one most important part of the project post list, as sad as this is...Numerous projects have told us BitMax made it a condition for list that the project use their "internal MM" and other projects who have listed on there and have used the "internal MM" have said it sucks. Make of that what you will.

3. BitMax takes part of a project listing fee in tokens. What do you think they do with these tokens? They certainly don't HODL them...As an exchange who controls the MM, where do you think they sell them? You don't have to be a genius to work out this is part of the reason why a project will pump for a moment after list and dump off after. Can't prove this for a fact, but there is no doubt in our minds that BitMax sells the top before they dump to ensure max profits for their free tokens...

4. An exchange "marketing" a project is a meme. This isn't just a BitMax thing, it;s an every exchange thing. An exchange will do a few Telegram and Twitter posts and an AMA, charge a project $100K-$200K and call it a day. They'll count the rest of the ROI for the marketing as the listing itself...Talk about a circle jerk.

5. An exchange doing DD is a meme. As you can see with DEEP and many other projects, an exchange will do just enough to make sure a project isn't an outright scam (at least initially). They do a very basic amount of checks that even the worst reviewer in the space would do as first point of call. When you're talking about getting over $200K USD for a listing, you start to become a little blind to some of the issues a project might have along the way...Of course in this particular case, BitMax found out about the main issue, the fact DEEP released more tokens into the circulating supply than promised 24 hours after list, however they didn't delist the project until 3 months later... (Listing date - 19th of July 2019, Delisting date - 2nd of October 2019).

"Within 24 hours following listing of DEEP, the BitMax.io noted DEEP deposits to BitMax.io wallets in excess of the initial circulating supply that was originally communicated to the BitMax.io team".

George claims this was as he's a "too much of a nice guy" and wanted to "save the project". Maybe we're just cynical, but that sounds like some new age BS to us. Like he really cares about DEEP past how much money it can make him (of which he'd already made his fair share)

6. Again it sounds like semantics on the buyback program. BitMax says they did this from their own funds with the capital for this coming "directly from a segregated account owned by BitMax.io and was distinct from any capital used to provide liquidity of DEEP order books" . DEEP claims these were actually their own funds that were locked up via BitMax. Either way, the takeaway from this is that George himself stated today that "the mm got 680k cash equivalents from deep. Not 1m" while the linked article for the buyback program says there are 3.75 DEEP tokens that will be used "alongside > $1,000,000 worth of USDT and BTC for strategic liquidity provision ("market making") for depth and trading efficiency."

7. Just as an aside, a user correctly pointed out one of the major issues at BitMax right now, that most tokens order spread is high and only bot trading is on most of the low volume coins. On some coins the spread between buy and sell is around 20%...

Funnily enough, this whole situation is a project doing some dodgy things and an exchange doing some dodgy things. DEEP released more tokens then they said they would and possibly sold tokens to private sale at a much lower price than publicly stated. BitMax responded by fucking the project from every angle. What matters most in this situation is the retail investors who ended up holding the bag. RIP to them.

George from BitMax has asked Max from DEEP to allow him to release all private communication between the two on this matter. Max from DEEP stated they will do an AMA themselves reagrding this situation. Either way as you can see from the above, both are guilty parties and we encourage both sides to release the full communication from both teams into the public domain so people can decide for themselves as to which one is more guility. Our guess is that BitMax will try and sweep this under the rug moving forward and that DEEP won't allow release of the communication as it will make them look worse. Let's see...
