Looks interesting.
Not a scam. I will post a general blog post tomorrow. The idea is being more egalitarian, supporting any legit project which utilizes/uses/helps Lisk. That means later also blockchain apps, we experienced how hard finding escrow partners is. I'm only escrowing the LSK, nothing else. One of the founders (they are from Cashila) is a good friend of mine. He supports Lisk by accepting it. He is a big Lisk supporter/believer, as it's an index it has advantages.
Driving home currently, worked for 13h, please wait until tomorrow.

Edit: It will probably cost me 2-3 hours of my time in total. However, this will be the first ICO which accepts LSK. Lisk will be named in every press release, we are forever coupled to their name, and so on. It's worth it for Lisk and it will be the first step to offer this service to our legit community members.
ICONOMY was a project I cautiously observed for some time... Knowing now that Max will serve as an escrow movitate me even more to participate in the ICO. Thanks Max for clarifying your position.
i am GOBSMACKED Max put his name to this.
"In short, what is ICONOMI?
ICONOMI provides an opportunity for investors looking for
high profits"
If that does not scream scam,pyramid scheme or other Con job, i do not know what is.
AVOID ICONOMI like the plague.
lets break it down.

I'll take Max words over yours any days of the week...

Well, it's going to be basically a crypto-hedgefund, so high profits is pretty much what this is all about

While I agree with you, that most of the times, such a statement is a red flag, in this case it is the whole reason the project exists, and (ideally) not in a pump and dump way.
Seeing that this project is legit, I might risk a little sum as well. Worked out for Lisk and Stratis, so why not

Btw. @Malreynolds, are you back in Lisk or still waiting?
