We've become much more cynical around here. If you want an IPO you have to provide some way for people to trust you or to think you're a good guy. Starting very small is a good idea... but it's much tougher now than it used to be to get investors. API keys are becoming all the rage. Alternatively if you have some people vouching for you it helps a lot as well.
If you don't trust one of the respected members of this forum to not abuse your API key (which you can change the second the check is done) then why should we trust you? If you're unwilling to trust then others won't be willing to either. I generally am not a big fan of API keys being used... but with all the new people with no histories at all trying to basically get loans lately it seems it may be necessary in some cases.

This might discourage some investors or even most investors, but I hope it won't discourage all investors.
For it seems that you have something to hide.
Indeed.
I admire you are taking a stand, I wouldn't share my API key either. But there is a difference, I don't have to. You, on the other hand, come here out of the blue asking for money.
It's like walking down the street asking a bunch of strangers to give you $1,000 and you'll pay then $100 a month back and at some point in the future you'll give them their initial $1,000 back as well. Some may ask what proof do they have you will not run away with it and you tell them "none". Do you honestly think anyone would take you up on that?
Now swap you out with a celebrity, like Donald Trump. He walks down the street and makes that same offer to people.
See the problem? You're a total stranger.. you need to give us a reason to trust you. Telling us you don't trust us is only hurting your cause.
And yes, there have been people who have asked for money, not given out their API, and gotten it. They have found some way to convince people that they are trustworthy. Generally though if you haven't posted here before you're in for a tough time asking for money.

so you are comparing yourself to Donald Trump? But why?
If that's what you got out of that then you definitely don't deserve an investment from anyone.
Perhaps if you read these forums a bit you'd not have to ask. Knowing the market is fundamental for any trader... you didn't know the market when you posted this and you've been burned because of it.

Lawl, why indeed. Sign me up for 500mil worth of shares just for the emperor has no clothes riposte. I don't give a **** if it ever pays off, scam me for all I care.
Put your money where your mouth is. If you are going to invest then do it. I doubt anyone else is going to take the leap with you, but perhaps you'll man up and put in the whole 1 bil.

excellent. Maybe we could discuss this somewhere.
How about right here since you are listing this as an IPO. To be an IPO it must be Public... otherwise the P in IPO isn't very accurate.
I'm curious if Danari has lived up to his word and invested. Any updates?
