Hey @oldtimer, you appear to be the second highest contributor to Steem Island! Unfortunately, you were listed as having 103 shares instead of the correct number. Your contributions add up to 102.79, which you correctly stated as being 101+1 shares. The totals that are being listed on the blockchain by @steemislandinc are wrong, often by 1 Share.
I found this out by doing an Audit of the Officer list. I actually found about a dozen errors, unfortunately. As the #2 contributor to the project, would you see if we can get these errors ironed out before we go any further? There is already a push to get funding for Stage 2... when I don't think it's appropriate without voting and setting up some bylaws or rules.
Take a look at the Audit. I think we are getting the cart before the horse on some things.
I agree with all your points. I send steem through blocktrades because there was no exact instructions how to do it. I add some extra steem just in case if some fees arises. I'm good with 102 shares, no problem, but after reading your audit and when I saw bending of rules I'm not happy with how this important project is managed. Don't get me wrong- I don't care about to lose 100 steem. I was excited about this project but It looks like it's very amateurish. I jumped in because I wanted to help with upvotes, resteemes and help to rise funds. I'm not sure if I want to continue any more. If @steemislandinc don't put his shit together in proper way by rules he made, I'm out.
I would appreciate it if you made some comments on my audit posting, too.
I didn't realize how many rules were bent until I tracked all the Wallet transactions down. Imagine people in Stage 2 or 3 and they track down the Stage 1 people... and found this mess. I did it last night and was surprised!
He has a number of his kids involved in the project, which is fine.... up until he rounds up their contribution and/or doesn't refund the amounts over-invested. This gets into favoritism and other issues really fast. As a lawyer, this should all make sense to @riosparada. Surely he knows people litigate over things smaller than this.
