I was in the middle of writing a praising article for the HashRush Alpha... When some facts came to my attention that makes the project sketchy... I can no longer recommend getting into this project.
I am going to make this article fairly short so lets get into it.
Some of the first questions anyone should ask before jumping into a project is "Do I think the developers are trustworthy?" and "am I going to get what I payed for?"
With the HashRush project... I just don't think I can answer YES, So if you are a reader of my articles and you were considering supporting this project based on my advice.. I would like to advise against it.
Do I think the developers are trustworthy?
Answer is No.
Here is what has been promised and changed since Sept 2017 ICO.
I am going to reference the ICO whitepaper. http://hashrush.com/Hash-Rush-Whitepaper-2.0.pdf
During the ICO HashRush stated that is would be directly tied to mining ETH and that you base/world would be tied to a hashrate in that farm... as well as having a mining pool for the public to use.
This changed... so that your world has nothing to do with HashRates... or mining at all.. now they changed it to reward pools.. So instead of your investment and colony being tied to a piece of hardware as originally stated it is now tied to some reward pool that fluctuates based on some metric that is not known.
RC vs RUSH
Originally RC (RUSHCOIN) had a 70,000,000 total coins in the ICO with the remaining unsold coins were to be locked up until Dec. 1 2018... as you can see they re-branded to RUSH (also 70,000,000 total).. so basically they could ignore their own words and ICO again before DEC. Which is not only a lie but Red Flag number 2 (they later claim that because they are not going to distribute the coin until dec. 2 it is legit... but I still think it is very shady and that they mislead early adopters and investors during their first ICO.)
Why is the team doing another ICO in the first place? well they say they to add features such as mobile and PVP.. which in my mind is justifiable... but there is no launched game... no beta... the game doesn't have the primary functions and features promised to even expand on.
All in all I just don't think that HashRush is delivering on promises and in fact is actively and purposefully breaking them.. which screams scam or something similar.
