I just found out that Adam Todd, ex-Betfair trader that most of you are probably familiar with, has now founded Digitex, a platform for one-click cryptocurrency trading.

Gutted that I didn’t discover this earlier as I would have invested in the ICO (now sold out).

Reminds me of penny shares, it was no surprise to me he became an estate agent after dumping his trading software to the Aus guy.

1st question he answers: "Is the team dumping tokens?" :lol:

Concept seems logical enough though.

I hadn't paid any interest in this from start to finish. But Adam has put up the whole story on a blog: -

https://blog.digitex.io/my-digitex-jour ... f-digitex/

Sounds like he struggled to get traction on it until he offered tokens for promoting it. Then launched the ICO and raised $5m in Crypto, but the market crashed.

Rather than cash out to fiat currency he held Crypto as it fell and used that to fund development work.

Spend ages in development before firing the development team.

Now announces that the exchange concept is dead and pivoting into Blockster, a 'crypto lifestyle magazine'

Market crashes.....

He'd probably make a fortune selling on his 'client/sucker' list to some Indian or Nigerian call centres.

He said in that post, that this was how he established the client base in the first place!
After another similar false start in December, an affiliate marketing friend of mine told me that I needed to make the ICO go viral by rewarding people who shared the link with their friends. So I set the ICO date for January 15th 2018, and created a mechanism on the website that gave away 1,000 DGTX tokens for every friend that someone referred to join our Digitex ICO waiting list. The ICO price of DGTX was going to be $0.01 so that was like getting $10 for every email you referred to our list.

After a slow start the emails started to trickle in at the start of January. Then the trickle became more of a stream and then we got discovered by the Nigerian spamming community and shit got absolutely crazy. Links to the upcoming Digitex ICO appeared just about everywhere – no Telegram or Facebook group was safe, and in the final days leading up to the ICO we were getting thousands of email signups per hour. By the morning of January 15th, our waitlist reached 250,000 emails, from a standing start of zero a few weeks earlier.
