You know what? If the dev team is actually reading this thread, may I suggest something?
If you are worried that because of the large bounty prize you promised bounty participants is so big that you fear it will crash the market, why not release the bounties in increments for one year? I've seen other ICOs released the bounties in a three-month span. You could probably do it for year.
that would be much more unhealthy for the market. We are in a bearish market, the price is down. The best time to release those bounties. let those dumpers sell their tokens to a low price. Anyways, its already low. Distributing the tokens in a bullish market would or over a year would be totally wrong.
