@haitch unfortunatelly... Would be nice to implement some sort of control off account holders actions... but i dont have an idea how or what could stop this happening... well bye bye most of my mined burst... and rip news asset. thats what i think...

haitch

@potkas There's no way to control other account holders, the blockchain is totally decentralized, and that sort of control is simply not possible.

I've emailed Jervis at his forums email address to see if he can get online and give an update - either here or to me.

@haitch Moved to "concerned assets". This is a new sub-category of assets. Not necessarily scams, but assets the community is concerned about. Where, for example, the owner has gone MIA, the dividends have stopped or dropped significantly. Assets listed here should NOT currently be invested in. On further investigation the assets listed here will move back to the main asset exchange thread, or to the scam thread.

@haitch please explain what MIA means ;)

@ccminer Missing In Action

@LithStud
thx
MIA - Missing In Action. Military slang for a soldier who has not returned from a mission, not confirmed dead, just "missing".

Omg. It hurts to see that asset like this almost certainly turned out to be a scam.
I wasn't here when jervis came in but I saw that everybody trusted him and believed in this asset. So I decided to invest in it and it looks like now I have lost almost 2Mil. BURST...

@Intbrk Auch buddy. I lost 400k and feel absolutely inconsolable... thinking about everything. Probably selling my assets. If this is really a scam, I'm done with crypto currency.

Hopefully you guys are all wrong, and hopefully nothing bad happened to the guy?! Let's Just give him time to respond and explain what is going on with this Asset?! Hopefully we will hear soon?!

i have a question ... looking throu the assets wallet i see a div payment did go out early today but was vary vary small, but what caught my attention is the assets wallet holds 91% of the total asset's and 99% of the news002 assets .. now i know this asset has been around for a decent amount of time and was quite popular has he been slowly buying back the assets ? or did it just never sell more than 10% of the total supply ?

@JotaJota Jervis is in the Phillipines, where they're having major storms - one of the other users here mentioned that they were going to be offline because of them. There is the possibility of a scam, but I'm hopeful the real cause of Jervis being offline is circumstances beyond his control rather than scam. He's only been off a couple of day - please, everyone, keep calm and wait for an update.

Please Guys - @haitch is right we have to calm down and burst on give the guy a bit of breathing room. Don't rule anything out but don't be so fast to pass judgement I would have hated for people to start pointing them at me when I had trouble. Just My opinion as a thousand shares news holder

RichBC

@haitch I suppose I am not that surprised that another Asset has gone down, what I am surprised at is that it's News. If you had asked me which Assets are Solid this would have been high up my list.

I have lost quite a bit on this one and the only glimmer of Good News is that it looks like the Ident Verification works.....

So my request would be for a way of making it far more obvious which Assets have verification and which ones do not? @haitch would it be possible for the logo to be attached to the Asset name in the Asset exchange?

We need to stop investing in Assets that do not have ID verification / pressure / shame the Asset holders to be verified. I am not for making it mandatory, but all for Asset Issuers just knowing they won't get anywhere without it.
