Can you spell > it out? pardon the dispersion, my question / objection is about the way ZCash responds to people that have lost money in financial gambling due to the hyped ICO price at ZCash entrance. So far I understand your response has been to treat a lawsuit for people using your (tm'ed) logo for instance with the @ZCashVictims account on Twitter. > I and the Zcash dev team have no control over the market price. that's arguable on more levels, yet from what I understand you don't have further control: you have adopted what seems a rather smart mining incentive curve on the first 34 days. This certainly does not means you have control on the market price, but you have well planned mining incentives (and market price is a collateral of it) and this plan is public. > We don't operate an exchange, we haven't bought or sold any ZEC, we > have never given anyone investment advice, and we've always striven > in our public communications to be clear about the risks and > limitations of the Zcash project. this is a good answer, in particular your declaration that you "haven't bought or sold any ZEC". I believe you should give this answer to those people considering themselves victims of a market gambling operation you do not take part into. thanks for your clarifications, best wishes -- ~.,_ Denis Roio aka Jaromil http://Dyne.org think &do tank "+.
