Only 9 days to ICO and we still know so little about it. Will it be daleyed?

I think you could apply similar logic to many other projects. Also what is important, if they indeed make the ICO capped too high, simply less people will invest. For example, capping the ICO at 50 million and making it last couple weeks, will make them gather for example 10 million, but capping the ICO at 15 million, would make them gather 15 million. Great example is Wings. They gathered only 2 millions (now are worth much more), because their ICO last couple of weeks and was capped to high. If Wings was 10 million capped ICO they would easily gather that sum. Let's hope Bancor does not make the same mistake as Wings. Setting and uncapped ICO is not only bad for investors but also for the team.

I think the plan was that it won't be capped because the more they collect they more they will have in the reserves. So that decision makes sense, not from the investor's point however.

i would put my bets also to eth

What sort of money are people keen to put towards such a Project ?

I can see some advantages to that (which is why I'm interested in the first place). However, I don't see this as an alternative to exchanges. If I trade one token for another on an exchange I now have the new token. If I trade one token for Bancor I now have Bancor Tokens. I don't own the tokens inside Bancor outright. I have an ETF basically as you say. An ETF Token, which, is cool and maybe that's really all it is when all is said and done and all the fancy math is complete

As they wrote in their information the decision for the delay was given and has a positive reason and not any failure or problems .. I'm sure they were ready but they gained important information and new things which they wanted to release with the ico release and thats why they postponed it just check their message again:

[..] due to a few main considerations, that we hope you'll find exciting

1. We have received interest from a few highly relevant advisors, world renowned experts in their fields, to join our team and advisory board in very significant capacities. We want to bring these agreements to conclusion [...] which needs time and cannot be done in minutes which shows very professional handling

2. We hear you loud and clear regarding the need for more streamlined and digestible messaging and content to share with you, your networks and the world. [...]We agree that this would be very helpful in making sure as many people as possible understand and appreciate the innovation and opportunity in the Bancor protocol, token and product, and that this is an essential first step before then unpacking the token launch event details. -> they want to make things clearer before releasing information .. realising that people which are not working with it all days are not understanding everything as easy as they do which they want to improve first.

3. [...] This means we're taking extra time to onboard all the relevant service providers and stake holders to make sure everyone in the process deeply understands the new dynamics and can build the most appropriate structures for contributors and users accordingly. It also means we want to double and triple verify that the structures achieve the desired incentive alignment to ensure the maximum success of the model, including all edge cases, so that Bancor can achieve its goal of creating a sound liquidity solution for years to come. [...] -> they don't want to bring it out as fast as possible but as good as possible which again shows that they are not in a hurry but they want to do everything to release a good and stable product which is well considered and checked multiple times.

All in all they are far ahead of many other projects, their team and their handling with the community and all the people around Bancor shows that they are very professional and will bring out a new blockbuster to crypto.

maybe this delay has to do with the network issues that were experienced few days ago? i hope not

Dear community!

It's been a busy day at Bancor with big developments and decisions.

We've decided to delay the announcement of the token launch event details, and maybe the token launch date itself by a few weeks, due to a few main considerations, that we hope you'll find exciting.

1. We have received interest from a few highly relevant advisors, world renowned experts in their fields, to join our team and advisory board in very significant capacities. We want to bring these agreements to conclusion and share them with you in order to complete the picture of the full scope of the project and its guidance counsel.

2. We hear you loud and clear regarding the need for more streamlined and digestible messaging and content to share with you, your networks and the world. We've heard this from all corners of the globe and are in process of creating the relevant materials. We agree that this would be very helpful in making sure as many people as possible understand and appreciate the innovation and opportunity in the Bancor protocol, token and product, and that this is an essential first step before then unpacking the token launch event details.

3. Because the BANCOR token is the Genesis smart token, it operates slightly differently (and with profound implications) than tokens that have launched before. This means we're taking extra time to onboard all the relevant service providers and stake holders to make sure everyone in the process deeply understands the new dynamics and can build the most appropriate structures for contributors and users accordingly. It also means we want to double and triple verify that the structures achieve the desired incentive alignment to ensure the maximum success of the model, including all edge cases, so that Bancor can achieve its goal of creating a sound liquidity solution for years to come. We want to give these processes a few more cycles to complete, and there has been much to learn from over recent weeks.

It is with tremendous respect that we thank you for all your great questions so far, as they've certainly helped us hone in and refine the solution. We hope we can reward you with tokens of our appreciation )

In the meantime we ask for your patience as we announce further updates this week, in regards to the new advisors, detail and launch timelines, and some really solid partnerships that have been in the works. We really can't wait to share.

With love and liquidity,
The Bancor team

I always see this Bancor in many articles, some posts and some of my friends. I did a few minutes visit on their site and I also scanned their white paper but I can't see the distribution plan. Can someone share it?

seems  not so much people  come  here  and talk too much . but  this coin has gained a  good  reputation,  strange thing.   have joined sig campagn.

Already is Monday. Waiting for ICO details from Bancor team. Interesting to see early bonuses because I will invest.

I saw only 0.2% will be given for all bounty tasks. Isn't it a bit low? Any info to read about that?

Yeah thats true, 6-12 million is acceptable, I don't want them to push it too high or worse leave it uncapped. Nevertheless I have high hopes for this coin. It's one of those I'm keeping a strong watch on, and participating in its bounties

Nothing but a new way to get ICO. The entry barrier to do an ICO is really low, why we need a platform to do so? the reasons seem very weak to me.

Definitely a so;id project but the team has not reveal the detail structure of the ICO. I think more information on this will help potential investors make decision on the investment strategy on the project

How often does bounties posts are checked and calculated, as I see not many people have been awarded yet.. thanks


Only 2 weeks left for ICO, are you prepared investors? )
