congrats on being the first to post a reply on youtube there cryo, you hit every sentiment I have uttered on here since this concept of a " citizenship fee " " Tax " scam was invented. See they had to come up with money from some where, Igor isn't about dump all his money into this, he can't find solid investors for his ideas, on top of that, even the website here, is trash, recycling news from the scientific community as if it were actual Asgardian news , meaning when you see news on the main Asgardian page that reads for an analogy , ISS Station tests new medicine, or the University of XYZ has created a new laser to beam information to any satellite in space... etc, That is recycled news, It isn't any accomplishment by Asgardia. On top of that, if you actually READ the citizenship fee document, lmfao get this kicker.
The " Votes " one needs to becomes " Mayor " or a diplomat, don't mean JACK ! Why ? Because hello, They have to, according to this document, pay a fee as well, to maintain there status. If they don't, then according to the document, bloop they are no longer a citizen, and if you are not a citizen, how can you be a government official ?
More over, All of a sudden the " 100,000 " who are exempt from the fee, needed to provide a Photograph... I personally do not remember that being a requirement I could be wrong, If I am then fine. But all I remember when this started, was to be a " Citizen " at the time when this all started, was to accept the constitution , vote, give your electronic signature , and put in your legal residential address when you sign up, and that was it. There was at no time any mention of a photograph being needed, more over, the document that I am referencing doesn't even mention, if the first 100,000 had to have the photo done at before all this was done or if it can be done at any time. And I am not sure what the mention of the DDP or Dpp which ever it is, in the document actually is either.
To me what probably happened is, there was a discussion that a Photograph would be needed to obtain your citizen card, and that discussion was here on the forum, and seems like what happened is who ever wrote up this document, tossed in there about now the 100,000 needed to have a photo included at the time in question.
But it is fine, i'll repeat myself, a lil, The Mars One Project, total waste of time and a scam, is now what Asgardia is becoming. Could you imagine citizens having to pay to keep their resident status on a yearly basis.. insane and stupid, ya can't call it a tax because there are no jobs for people to pay a tax from. Igor is probably paying a company to create a software algorithm to create a crypto currency which like bit coin is a joke. Mine as well say ya got a magic potion to turn lead into gold.
Don't expect anyone other than moderators to the forum to actually address any of this. Igor knows he messed up, if he didn't he would have had actual investors by now. So now he is trying to make money any way he can. For and Idea that is good in theory. An Idea that is needed, but is failing because of poor planning and poor implementation. I got pie in the sky ideas and dreams too, but I don't go out of my way to hustle people to pay for them to become a reality.
Igor and his government are going to have a hard time treading water when everyone becomes a " Follower " for not Paying to be a citizen, maybe then he will realize he needs to rethink things. Well not everyone, the 100 some odd people forming the government and eh I guess the lets say 40 other people who are paying citizens will continue to pay. But the rest of us, with common sense will keep our money in our pockets.
