Nope. IQ2 keep posting pics of their pedals on their Instagram every now and then… and switching off comments. It’s kind of like Weekend at Bernies. It appears they’re dead…but someone is still pulling the strings.

Ridiculous.
Also, really sorry to hear about your kerfuffle. Absolute Horses#!t in my opinion. I don’t know who to give shit to, but I hope they pull their effing heads in.
(Excuse my French!)

I’m sure that this “communication” keeps them in the just barely legal territory where they claim they are still working on it when in fact they are simply bleeding off what is left or covering that there is nothing going on, and no money left. I hope that the community keeps tabs on Mr Klant and his colleagues as a conscience and as a warning to others on his future endeavours.

Thanks for the reminder that I’ve definitely lost my ‘investment’ 
side note: I’ve just seen it says “Most successful Dutch Kickstarter campaign” on their website and am struggling to understand what metrics they are using to determine ‘success’.

Money raised, obviously 
It’s all about the money, right???

Still defending the con… if the bait and switch on the design wasn’t enough then the handful of “prototype” for two influencers and one or two backers plus the none response to inquiries should’ve been a clue. The biggest clue is the run around for online orders that was not part of the original “fund raising”. So putting up a pretty proposal means it’s legit? Ok.
I dont think he is defending the con…
A con would have been doing the indigogo and after collecting a few hundred thousands close shop and said it was not doable.
Incompetence is knowing this is VERY hard problem not knowing when its time to give up and keep everyone hopes up.
I think IQ2 power meter may have been incompetence for a long time, but at this point and they way they are still marketing, it may be turning into a scam (probably it already fully turned into a scam)

It the same meaning describing the same basic behavior, Confidence trick - Wikipedia.
“Synonyms include con , confidence game , confidence scheme , ripoff , scam , and stratagem” .
You can argue when it became a full blown “scam”, at inception or somewhere mid stride when you realized that they could never deliver the goods. A good point would be after the switch in design, aka the bait and switch if you proscribe it being a scam at the start given that the project was advertised as “shovel ready”. There is some wiggle room under Indiegogo by it’s nature of fund raising but after every single compact of that proposal has been jettisoned (scope and schedule) and they started to actively market and selling a vaporware as real, it’s a con (or scam if that’s more appealing).
Incompetence, no. Brim Bros they are not.
Be kind to each other bruh… no matter how things sounds… its not worth it…
Likewise. It does fit with the need to call yourself sexy and cool.
I admit that was out of line and I apologize, but I resent being attacked for having an open-mind about something I literally posted years ago. Especially something that ripped me off just as much as you. I feel like your anger needs to be placed on the people who caused the issue and not other posters.

Does anyone think that winning this argument gets you a pair of functional power meter pedals, by any chance?
