A lot of ranting, I am an idot, Coinexchange review for buying smartcash and a Meme for the official meme contest!! SMART is where the heart lies!!
Super pissed right now!! A few reasons to be honest...

* I had been waiting for quite some time to participate in the VICE ICO and had my funds ready. The vice team [had it's issues](https://steemit.com/vice/@broncnutz/vice-industry-token-ico-certified-3-ring-circus). They keep changing their ICO dates, whitelist dates....it was a mess all over the place. But I was kinda okay with it, every new project has it's issues. The whitelist ICO sale had started earlier today and as predicted, ISSUES. I was still okay with it and was waiting to participate in the crowdsale that was supposed to start at **11 am EST.**

I have been on their telegram group the whole day, and there were hundreds of people asking when is the crowdsale starting....and over a hundred times they said **11 am EST.** 2-3 mins before the crowdsale people asked, when is it : 2 minutes they said. At exactly 11 am EST I ask, so it's open right? Yes, was their answer!! 

I went to myether wallet and tried sending the transaction **with their recommended gas limit** at a GWEI of 61 (the standard GWEI is 8 or 12)!! And the transaction kept failing!! At **11.07 am EST the admins tell us...oh we did some stuff and so the crowdsale time has been moved to 3.06 pm EST!! 

I'm like....W H A T!!

That's enough to piss people off and I pointed out how unprofessional it was, but this is where the fun part started!!

A minute later, the admins had removed my messages. I din't quite understand what just happened (not too used to telegram) and I sent some pissed off messages again and there was the magic again!!! My messages removed!! I sent one more, This time I kept a screenshot :

# As expected, a minute later, the message vanished!! :D

# And me being a pretty stubborn idiot, I went on to post this :D

* And that did the job!!! I was **banned!!** How awesome is that!! :D

I could still participate in the ICO because they can't stop me from doing that and funds were ready. But that was it for me. A project where the team can't handle _deserved_ criticism, I'm never gonna be behind that project. _(The term deserved is important, no one want's to deal with criticism they don't deserve, but if you've fucked up, man up to the criticism and take the blow!!)_

So I had already made up my mind that i'm not investing in VICE, no way. If it was just me I'd probably say alright...i'm wrong!! But i spoke with @broncnutz as well in that group and he wasn't too happy either with the way thing were happening!! 

The reason I went on  a rant about an entirely different project on my smartcash post is because there is a comparison to be made!! If you have interacted with the mods on the smartcash discord, you already know the differences!! 

This team has the community behind it.....they actually get the investors involved in decision making. There is even a specific channel for pointing out corrections that need to be done (which as a matter of fact I just did this morning and received immediate response from the mods). There is a channel for your proposals which is one of the most active sections and if you have a decent enough proposals, it has a good enough chance to in fact get funded!!

Smartcash team is ready to take any criticism thrown at them, make a milkshake out of and let you taste it and give them a feedback on whether the sugar was fine!! Trust me I've seen newbs being super rude on the discord channel and the moderators along with the smart squad is handling them all, explaining what is what and at some point if they realize the team is at fault, they man up and admit it and before you know it they have someone working on a fix!!

This was all going on in my head and I realized what a big **effing** idiot I have been. It made me realize :

And immediately I went up to the exchanges section on discord for the latest updates on which exchange is working great....well I actually went to find out whether monkeycoin exchange had an english version or not lol!! I really wanted to give them a try after watching the interview by @encryptdcouple with the minds behind this exchange. But unfortunately it was still under work and I was suggested coinexchange.io and stocks.exchange. i didn't wann use cryptobridge because some people apparently had delayed deposits and their exchange was taking forever to load for me.

I decided to go on with coinexchange.io and guys.....SERIOUSLY, if you're looking to stack up some smart at this rate before the snapshot, i highly recommend you use coinexchange!! Withing 15 minutes I was done with transferring funds from myetherwallet to coinexchange, sell ETH to BTC, use the BTC to buy smartcash and withdraw to my web wallet!! It couldn't get better than this!! It might have actually been faster, but I was also working on the first part of this post while doing the trade so......distractions lol!!

In the end, I now have two addresses HODLing smartcash for smart rewards and glad this happened before the snapshot!!

As i have said to many people many times, I have been a part of a lot of cryptocurrency communities, and the smartcash community is by far the best!! Today's rant about VICE is just one example....I don't really think it's worth wasting my time talking about all what I hate, but the VICE community was quite toxic to be honest....negativity was like **oatmeal for breakfast!!** So i'm glad I have been lucky enough to be a part of this awesome smartcash community!! Thanks for all the fun guys!! With a team like, this I don't a single reason smartcash is not gonna succeed, which leads me to my second entry the the official meme contest!! (I had to throw in one!!)
