LOL: Ethereum Startup Vanishes After Seemingly Making $11, Leaves Message: ‘Penis’

in #ethereum7 years ago

Jordan Pearson, writing for Motherboard:

An Ethereum startup called Prodeum disappeared from the web on Sunday after raising a grand total of $11 USD from investors in a crowdsale. Shortly after the website disappeared, a message appeared on its homepage: “penis.”

Prodeum’s pitch, according to a cached version of its webpage, was to track vegetables in a supply chain using digital addresses on a blockchain—a decentralized ledger at the heart of Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

[...] the startup was paying people on Fiverr to promote the ICO by writing “Prodeum” on their bodies.
