    I just took one look at the landing page and said “Ponzi”- anyone offering 38% roi on a financial product is scamming you, and this video just proved it, that the club would be willing participants in this and expose their supporters to potential financial ruin is nothing short of disgusting.

    The FAQ on the HEX.com site are possibly the most bizarre set of questions and answers i have ever read on a companies website.
    i am trying to work out if its a joke and they are just messing about or being sarcastic.
    truly odd and very worrying
    if anyone's got a minute take a look

    I particularly like the question ‘how do I explain HEX to a five year old’ :)

    If anyone on here is into web development, you will know how to turn on Developer Mode in your browser. Usually it's on the menu, or press F12 or CTRL-SHFT-I. When you do this while logged into https://hex.com/faq, the following message appears in the developer mode console. A quite bizarre message to include on a website. Gobsmacked is not the word.

    bizarre. they're console logs, so not actually meant to be displayed on a web page. typically only used by devs.

    So...

    Hex have an API on their website that attempts to download a json file from https://coinmarketcap.com/

    Nothing unusual about this, websites do it all the time.

    No idea who coinmarketcap are, but they've changed the address of the json file. The API on the HEX website now downloads an error message from coinmarketcap which gives this scam warning. So it's coinmarketcap who are f***ing with them.

    Agree with this. A top level cycling teams sponsor pulled out last summer. They got a crypto sponsor instead. A couple of months later they weren’t paying & the team went under at the end of last season. It’s not an industry I want us to be involved in

    Agreed. But why would a developer put a message like that on a website, that would be seen by other developers? Is it intended to be a joke? Or, as @Jay says, is it someone else messing with them? Curiouser and curiouser.

    Maybe we got paid inHex and just have to wait until next year to become billionaires! Then we’ll only need to sell one or two players.

    I stand by the undertone of this message in that the club should look to gain sponsorship from whatever reputable means it can.

    However, the more this goes on, the more we read from their ‘representatives’, the constant online barrage - and the more the club don’t issue a response; the more I realise that this arrangement is abhorrent, probably hasn’t actually brought the club any money in yet and goes against everything this club ought to represent.

    As such I withdraw what I said. Get rid of them. It is an embarrassment.
