As a GPUcoin IPO investor here are my concerns...

1. CEO.  I do believe the CEO is honest, which is a big plus.  I think his business goals are plausible... but I don't like how he as performed under pressure so far.  Now this may be a learning experience for him and not a show of what is going to happen the next time things get tough.

2. Dev Team.  1st Dev team failed, 2nd Dev team was rushed... will we be successful this time?  Well there are enough days to get it right.  What I would like to here though is daily status updates from the CEO saying the redevelopment / launch is on schedule, etc...   More communication = happier community = win.

3. IPO Investment.  As an investor I think there is more upside potential for this coin then risk... however this is assuming that my share of GPUcoin will increase based on those investors that pulled out.  If the CEO does NOT open up GPUcoin for a 2nd round of investment I will keep my BTC in GPUcoin... however, if he does open it to another round then I would probably pull out, though I will still mine the coin at launch for a few hours / days.

Again with communication being key a statement and update to the community by the CEO addressing my concerns and other valid concerns would be helpful.

Failure to provide adequate communication and manage expectations within 24 hours will result in my request (and perhaps others) to withdraw IPO funds.


Thanks and I look forward to the response.

Nailed it.

The dude talking about "maybe getting around to asking for a refund" seems to forget that they guy who started this coin is no different than any of us.  Other than he decided to take some initiative and move forward on his idea.  And kudos to him for it.  The fact that illiki32 wants to screw him due to him not mentioning something in his email is a dick move, and talking about how a business this size should not be doing this or that is silly.  This dude is trying to start a business he is learning as he goes, and some people seem to want to punish him for that??  This guy seems to be trying hard and I think it is a good idea.  He is making a tonne of mistakes and also seems to be trying to do what is right.  I email him and said he should lean on the community and the IPO investors to promote the coin, and that he NEEDS to communicate constantly.  The fact that only a few people knew he was getting delays from coinbase is really bad, we ALL need to know that.

 anyway rant over.  I hope this coin does well. I only have .2 BTC invested so I am ok either way.  

  Phad.

I also am not requesting my IPO refunded.
I think they will pull this off, and rather than
frantically mining Sunday night, and worrying
about a perfect launch, I will get a lot of coins
from the IPO.  But I agree with other posters
that if the IPO is re-opened, and our shares
diluted, I will want a refund.  I also agree that
CEO may not be a crypto, alt coin, or programming
expert, but he had a good idea and is getting
the right help to see it through with Mycron
and Cryptowest. I will give the guy my IPO
investment as well as the benefit of the doubt,
but I DO think he should post updates here, on
Facebook, and on Twitter more often.

Someone from the dev team of GPUcoin post something in this thread today?
I need to know when they will send my IPO refund...

I have traded a few emails with the CEO. He had converted BTC to cash via coinbase in order to purchase the GPUs, he has since done a transaction to convert cash back into BTC on coinbase, but as most of us know it does take some time for Coinbase to deposit BTC into your wallet. Next Tuesday is the target date so far. Also, at the time I was communicating with him he was at 4.68 BTC in refund requests.

Seems that the CEO is not a bad guy, (not scammer,not cheater). But he is also not a well-qualified man in crypto field.

I'm getting the feeling that he's a little bit in over his head and crypto is a bit new to him ie. he hasn't been around for a couple years.

Irrespective of the launch failures and IPO refunds, the IPO has been closed. Reopening the IPO would be a material change to the terms and would require sufficient notice to the participants in order to chose to increase participation or withdraw. [EDIT] Typo

[phaddie]

I did not think there was any mention by the CEO of reopening the IPO.  Did I miss that?

constantly... seriously. what would be enough communication for you ? every minute.

I understand you invested money in his venture, that doesn't mean you married the guy.
Right now and until the launch there is really nothing to communicate on.
And clearly the best thing you have to do is to wait and let them do their jobs.

No you did not - someone raised it as a potential issue - when in fact it is a non-issue. IPO is closed and nothing has been said about reopening it.

The CEO might not be super businessman, but I doubt he is even considering this as an option.  Honestly my biggest issue for the next launch is if there will be a MAC wallet.

I've just woke up and been sending all the refunds to the people who wish it, but a vast majority of the e-mails are still very excited.  Sorry to see some of you go, but it's your loss other IPO's gain.

Guys. I doubt they'll be a 2nd round of IPOs. Read the CEO's message above. I am assuming "other" means us, not new IPOs. lol.

Confirmed by email just now that there will not be a second round to IPO - the current IPO investors will however be able to buy in for the amounts that will be refunded. I would not be surprised if that get snapped up pretty fast. Apparently around 5 BTC is being refunded so far.

I just got the email and sent the CEO the email below.  Let me know if you agree or not.

Hello. Glad to see you are not opening a 2nd round. But I think you should at least save a few shares for the current IPO holders as an incentive for sticking around after 2 false launches.  I think there might be more refunds if there are no incentive to stay.  Just a thought.

[johliks]

If the coin doesn't launch by Sunday then let's make it happen as a community. I'm well equipped to handle the code and get everything compiled nicely. I have a large server (16x) infrastructure already in place to create the backbone. I've estimated an entire day to get everything done and up smoothly.

All we need are the parameters...

Let me know if there is any interest in this.

+1 I like it.

I think this is a great Idea.  I have mentioned to the CEO a few times to get the community involved to try and get rid of some of the bad press.  If it fails again you should do this.

"We" should do this. It's all about community!

Seriously if it fails to launch lets all rendezvous and just make it happen.

But but the nice thing about it being just one person is knowing who to point fingers at and blame when the SHTF.

TL:DR

Setup miners for second launch and just walked back in, second launch failed?

Pool has zero coins and says everything is locked down, workers are even gone from account?

Waiting for the third launch or is it the fourth or fifth? Yes, third launch coming this Sunday and if that fails, well read upwards.

I do not agree with this in principle if it means more premine for IPO investors... that said if the CEO wanted to kick in more of his 75mil then that's his prerogative, but I would not expect it or ask him to do that.  I know we are all greedy bastards at heart but this coin has to look attractive to the non IPO community if its going to have any real value.

Remember, just because you can buy GPU's for it, the GPU's must be bought from a vendor, and they probably only accept cash or at best Bitcoin... so the cost of any Graphics Card in GPU coins will be based on their BTC exchange rate.
