This is a damn good initiative

if the token price falls below 50% or more of the ICO price, then the token sale will be regarded as failure. At this point, LEEKICO will trigger a refund event for the users.
Users who would like to refund need to deposit the tokens back within seven days after announcement regarding repurchase of tokens being made. The platform will charge users 10% of the tokens refunded as processing fees.

Something a lot of people in my group has suspected for a while. If you have a private group with these two bots, know your chat is possibly compromised. Thanks to krypto leaks for sharing this.

The Latest Bitcoin Bug Was So Bad, Developers Kept Its Full Details a Secret -
"an attacker could have actually used it to create new bitcoin – above the 21 million hard-cap of coin creation – thereby inflating the supply and devaluing current bitcoins."

https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-core-developers-move-to-fix-denial-of-service-software-bug/

"Even if the bug had been exploited to its full extent, the theoretical damage to stored funds would have been rolled back. Rollback would be much like what happened during the so-called "value overflow incident" in 2010 when 187 billion bitcoins were created out of thin air but, ultimately, were destroyed."

In the following review, ICODROPS has outlined, a summary of concerns about NOS really well, exactly what I had in my mind :

EDENCHAIN DRAMA:-

What's the Community claim?
1. Edenchain lied about initial circulating supply i.e it was supposed to be 80M tokens but currently circulating supply is at 126M.
2. Edenchain raised more money than the actual claimed 24M HARD CAP.

What's the confusion?
1. How did circulating supply increase and why wasn't it disclosed during the token sale?
2. Did Strategic partners allocation had no lock?

What's the answer?
1. Edenchain had 40% tokens for sale at a price of $0.06 concluding total cap at $24M.
2. Edenchain had also reserved 15% tokens for strategic partners that means they could raise another $9M over $24M.
3. Strategic partners allocation had the same lock-up as the public sale.

So the extra circulating supply is including the strategic partner's reserve which they sold pre-post token sale.

Who's at fault here?
1. Edenchain - They should have promoted the strategic partner reserve from the beginning and should have been firm on possible extra HARD CAP raise.
2. Community - Investors should have read whitepaper and token metrics properly as Strategic partners 15% allocation was mentioned clearly in metrics and they should have anticipated this.

Edenchain & community, both had equal part in giving birth to this confusion.

Edenchain should have been public with their strategic partner's allocation sale progress same as the public token sale.
Community investors should at least read whitepaper and documents than just expecting 100-1000x.
This way, the community wouldn't have raised questions at this stage if strategic sale progress was transparent and public.

Emotiq changes name to Stegos. Changes stuff from original plans. Says NO REFUNDS.

Forwarded from @pernambu

Stegos, our new name better reflects our new marketing focus on being the fastest and most scalable privacy coin! Stegos is from steganography, the hiding of data in pictures. Stegos will give you your privacy back and keep you safe from prying eyes!

The team has stayed the same, including our genius cryptographer, VP of Engineering, etc. We are hiring even better programmers. The technology is staying basically the same.

We are still scalable but have a more sustainable blockchain now. Other blockchains will explode if you continually feed them thousands of transactions per second! Ours will not and could run on billions of mobile devices!

We will be confidential and untraceable thanks to improvements on zk-SNARKS, Bulletproofs etc. There will be no natural language smart contracts but no one was interested in those when few even know what to use smart contracts for.

There will be no refunds, the contract you signed says so. What we will have is an ICO and ERC20 contract, in Singapore.

We are still focused on making this project a success and we’ll soon be releasing a new whitepaper, technical paper, roadmap, etc. The number of tokens stays the same but we will seek to reduce the amount raised.

To summarize, the technology will be improved, token economics will stay the same or will be improved, there’s a marketing focus on being the most scalable and fast privacy coin.
