After the sale, the Neiro project team contacted Buterin via a message posted on page X asking him to consider donating a portion of the proceeds to charity. The message read:
{"Hi Vitalik Buterin, Neiro sales specialist. Our humble request is to donate part of the proceeds to a shelter for homeless dogs. Launched on the #BTC #blockchain , Neiro aims to capitalize on the cultural success of #Dogecoin . The project emphasizes a community-oriented approach and is actively involved in philanthropy, including donations to animal shelters. The statement refutes several points made in the article and makes it clear that the token giveaway is not an organized promotional move, but a decision the developers made before the project was taken over by the community.
"We weren't trying to gain credibility by selling an 8% stake at 4/4 to an Ethereum co-founder claiming to be the largest owner, he said.
"We didn't ship anything over the air. These tokens were released into the air by the developers who first forged them before the project was taken over by the community. It wasn't a PR stunt carefully orchestrated by the community, it was a pure accident, the NEIRO team said.
