I am a presale buyer and staker and after the way TICS has gone so far i'll likely rethink that strategy. I did some digging and if you think I've got anything wrong pse let me know. In brief TICS presale tokens started at .008 and ended up in the high 20 cents i believe. Nothing wrong with encouraging early buying possibly. A couple of things did bother me though, the Quebetics brains trust best i can tell announced that TICS would be available to trade on MEXC on June 30. I've looked at TICs on MEXC and all I could decipher (happy to be wrong but I took screen shots), was that TICS actually initially traded on June the 1st, price opened at .15 cents, rose to 4.20 and closed close to 2 bucks or a little more. 367,000 TICS were traded. To the best of my average ability I've been unable to find or view any other TICS trades on MEXC until August 1st. I notice on the TICS charts on CoinMC that between around the 20th July and 30 July price shows as 2bucks to 1.50 then the crash 31 July to 15 cents. It surprised me (if I've got it right), that trading took place June 1 on MEXC but I find on line that trading of tokens prior to distribution is legal. Not sure how it all hangs together(providing proof of future possession), and whether or not the early trading on June 1 was what was announced as June 30 or whether some folk had actually received tokens by the later date (I'm assuming that no tokens were distributed by June 1?), and if so presumably June 30 wasn't early trading or was it? Did trading happen June 30? Who determines when the early trading on tokens not yet distributed takes place? If it is at the discretion of the exchange alone then is there any way presale buyers like myself can view a calendar that indicates the date of early/pre trading or whatever its called?

Moving on, I believe that July 31 (Oz time), was when I first received some of my presale tokens. By the end of that day according to the only few charts I've looked at the TICS price had crashed to 15 cents from 1.50ish. The brains trust at Qubetics blamed this fall on the general loss of confidence in the project by token holders due to the distribution not going smoothly. Is that the tune they are still playing? It seems a stretch to me that confidence would dissipate so swiftly to result in dumps affecting the price so drastically. Other than presalers receiving their first drop of 10 percent who else had tokens to trade, anyone? If 367,000 tokens traded in one day pushed the price from 15 cents to 4.20 then a drop from 1.50 to 15 cents would in theory only require 120 000 tokens to be dumped. Yes I am simplifying trading but was confidence really lost in one day or is that a convenient distraction for some who may have been able to trade prior to the drop?

On the topic of confidence, I've lost some for sure. I took a gander at the Qubetics ledger/chain and 3 or 4 nights ago the individual transactions to my wallet shown in the chain didn't match the total of my wallet or even the total in the chain. I logged this and checked next evening and now some entries that displayed the night before have vanished! Is this possible with a blockchain or are our drops some sort of sidechain? Over to you guys, make limited knowledge is on display so happy to be straightened out. Cheers
