Now it's the ICO price? Before it was a problem with game theory and our consensus model.

I'm waiting for your analysis of the whitepaper since you said you found problems.

You say you haven't seen anything worth what the ICO is asking, but that only means you didn't REALLY read anything, did you.

Because if you had, you would have seen physical ATMs you can use right now, 2 of them actually, and an article in Newsweek explaining our company and it's role in the crypto-economy in Mexico, thus far. You would also see that we can ship you a physical debit card you can use to spend your holdings anywhere MasterCard is accepted.

Show me another currency that was able to do that pre-ICO and it'll give your pricing argument a modicum of credence, especially since the price is still less than a single bitcoin for a VIVA Crown and there are many, many other ways to participate that don't even involve buying a VIVA Crown.

VIVA is about the relationship between businesses and people, because that's what money is. The ability to perform transactions with the least amount of effort and uncertainty.

If that's not worth it to you, then that's you and that's ok. But complaining about the fact that you don't understand it or whatever isn't going to fix anything.

You claim you found problems. I am the primary architect, I am the lead developer and you mention technical issues at the design level.

I am trying to have a technical discussion with you about the design parameters which you keep claiming are "out of whack". But instead of elaborating, you keep dodging the question and trying to change the subject.

Please present your analysis for review; I'm open to the possibility that I don't know everything in the world and might not be perfect. If we're going to make changes which you say are fundamentally needed, now is the time to talk about that.

I don't think you need to ICO unless you present some code. I understand the goals you have for VIVA and they seem pure. I don't agree with the format of minting entirely. Based on how the protocol is described, I see Sybil attack vectors.

Because if you had, you would have seen physical ATMs you can use right now, 2 of them actually, and an article in Newsweek explaining our company and it's role in the crypto-economy in Mexico, thus far.

Awesome start! This is not enough to get my money in an ICO though. I think that it is misleading to offer all these promises without a proof-of-concept.

Fair enough, but seriously if you do see something wrong design wise let me know. This is important to get right and if there's a problem in the design there will be a problem with the platform and it won't matter if God himself writes the code.

I'm going to leave this conversation now, because we are working on the MVP and the roadmap. It's a process of constant iteration, it's not some sudden code drop that happens over night. We design, build, test and revisit designs sometimes 10 times a day or more.

The MVP is coming. It's slated for post ICO. The first "non founder" mint is slated to come online during ICO.

You're not going to see revolution, just evolution. But thank you for having questions and stating your concerns. You're right that it's not for everybody just yet.

I really admire your commitment. If there is anything I have gained from the white paper and now, it is someone's passion for decentralization.

Do pass along any code when you can
