The NuCypher has the Hallmark of a marketing website for ICOs and perfect whitepapers and awesome 'team' photos and other stuff that should raise a million red flags. I have seen this game a million times with so many ICOs with 'super nice squeaky clean websites' before. I am sure there is _some_ technology hidden there. But to me it just screams money money money. Not technology technology technology. Have seen this game play a million times. Really really would love to have SEC scrutinize all these crapshoot ICOs ( not accusing you). Have seen so much money swindling with fake whitepapers and promise of Alice and Bob in wonderland security whitepapers. Yours is probably legit but I have no idea. SEC should weigh in. Alice wants to decrypt the rabbit hole. Bob wants to sell ICOs. Oh my

You said in a separate comment that your intention is specifically to inflame, so I don't care to respond to you anymore. However, I will take care to correct some of your misinformation just in case others are mislead by what you've said here: > The NuCypher has the Hallmark of a marketing website for ICOs and perfect whitepapers and awesome 'team' photos and other stuff that should raise a million red flags. 1) As you already know but seem wont to pretend you don't: we are not having an ICO in the typical sense. We will not be having a public sale until our network is launched. There is nothing "ICOish" about our method. If people are interested in using our network, they can buy our token. And they can't even do that until we launch. 2) We have awesome whitepapers. We are leading the fields of proxy re-encryption and homomorphic encryption. I'm not going to apologize for the fact that we have published our whitepapers. 3) We have an awesome team. I mean, seriously, look at the team we've built. Working at NuCypher feels like playing at the all-star game. And yes, we all get along and enjoy traveling together. I'm not going to apologize for documenting that. We are putting out solid code that runs. And it does things that haven't been done before. Ideally, I'd love for people not to have the kind of anxiety and discomfort living in the world today that is displayed by this comment. But I don't really know what more to do about it. I'll continue committing and releasing. > I am sure there is _some_ technology hidden there. Is that because you watched the live demo to which I linked you? Or because you looked at our repositories? Or because you have watched any of our recent talks at conferences specifically discussing our tech?
