Here is my response to @VaderResearch reply: The @Virtuals_io team should have been transparent from the beginning that @VaderResearch was going to receive special treatment and would be excluded from the dev wallet policy, which prohibits developers from using their tokens to farm Virgen Points. That said, there are still some questionable points I want to highlight in response to @vaderresearch reply. A) "1/ Our treasury wallets were distributed into 15 wallets on March 8" The idea with the distribution was to diversify tokens into multiple wallets to minimize cybersecurity risk – if all treasury tokens are held in one wallet and that wallet is hacked, then we are doomed" My reply to point A: The above explanation provided is inconsistent with standard cybersecurity protocols. It is unreasonable to claim that transferring over $13 million worth of Vader tokens across 15 separate wallets was done due to "cybersecurity risks" particularly if the tokens were ultimately staked. If security were the true concern, it raises further questions like: do you also possess 15 individual hardware wallets corresponding to each account? While the use of multi-signature wallets is possible, the fact remains that all of these wallets were used to stake these $Vader tokens. The most plausible interpretation is that the tokens were distributed in this manner to evade detection of vader's special treatment and exclusion from devs farming virgen points. No rational actor seeking to stake assets for legitimate purposes would fragment holdings across 15 wallets purely for security reasons! B) "And as part of the deal, they told us that we could use our wallets to participate in Genesis deals as part of the 5% so we could cover our expenses through the deal proceeds – we thought this was a fair deal" My reply to point B: I'm sorry but this situation reflects poorly on the @virtuals_io team. @VaderResearch should have been compensated in stablecoin or in $VIRTUAL for his work especially given $Virtual significantly higher market cap and massive liquidity pool. (For the record, I do appreciate the Genesis Launch design. Yes really) Instead, Vader was virtually paid, not technically, but virtually paid or indirectly paid in newly launched Genesis tokens, by being allowed to use an excessive amount of his own supply to earn points daily. These genesis launches carries extremely low liquidity and high volatility. This compensation structure grants him a large allocation of early stage assets without any financial risk, as he did not acquire them through market purchase ( $VADER Tokens ) which gives him a risk free proposition The core issue is that he will almost certainly need to sell portions of these Genesis tokens at some point to cover expenses. Doing so in low cap markets is inherently destabilizing and undermines long-term investor confidence. With $Virtual sitting almost at a one billion dollar market cap and a deep liquidity pool, compensating him in $VIRTUAL or stablecoins would have been far more appropriate and sustainable than him having to sell these micro cap coins on the market to cover expenses C) "Except for one deal recently – $ROOM because of the sus founder (we made $4.5k profit in total from that deal)" My reply to point C: You sold for $4,500 because you consider the founder “suspicious”? If you truly held that view of him as a questionable or untrustworthy figure, then one must ask: Why did you choose to invest in that Genesis Launch at all $ROOM ? Your skepticism toward the founder was clearly established prior to the beginning of the Genesis Launch pledging. Entering the investment under those circumstances and then immediately dumping your position raises questions about the sincerity and consistency of your judgment and potentially your motives. D) "3/ May 24 – We stopped receiving any points to the treasury wallets from the 5% and shared it all with the Vader Stakers Since then the legacy Vader treasury wallets only got some points from DAB but none from the 5% Vader portion" My reply to point D: Why concern yourself with daily distributed Virgen Points when you already have over $13 million worth or 30% of the total supply staked, generating a continuous stream of DAB Virgen points? This is particularly troubling given that these tokens, categorized as developer tokens, were explicitly represented to the public as ineligible for point farming from the virtuals team @everythingempt0 Let me be unequivocally clear: I am a strong supporter of the Virtuals co-founders and deeply admire what they are building with the ACP. I also hold a great deal of respect for the Genesis Launch system that @VaderResearch helped create. However... Where the @virtuals_io team fell short was in their lack of transparency regarding the special treatment that was afforded to Vader specifically, his undisclosed exemption from the policy prohibiting developers from using dev wallets to farm Virgen Points. Other developers have been explicitly told they are not permitted to use treasury, team, or any other form of dev-affiliated tokens for this purpose. Had this exception been clearly disclosed from the outset, my post yesterday and the questions that followed would have been entirely unnecessary. The end
