This sequence would be much better (for any project btw)
Whitepaper
Roadmap
Testnet, alpha client
ICO
Genesis block, livenet beta client
Whitepaper first is always good sign of something that was being worked on by someone for some time before marketing anything (ex. Satoshi, Vitalik)
That's true. Our whitepaper is in advanced phase and was planned to be released at ICO launch. However, when you engage in a large project, especially one that has timing restrictions on several front (such as the ICO scene - very time sensitive and with perplexing level of interrelations between projects. Take for instance HEAT NXT acceptance and Ardor holding incentive. How do they relate? Not always how you'd expect) then numerous things change constantly on your face and you have to improvise. Take irreversible choices & carry on no matter what.Whitepaper
