However, if the total amount pledged through this sale will not be enough to fund the development and disallow us to run an effective campaign, we'll use our personal finances to support the project. Versa has been the product of sleepless nights and days of hard work, and will evolve despite a lack of funding.

Thank you for answering my questions. If this were a scam, I would expect you to be shilling a bit harder. To me, that lends the project a bit more legitimacy.

What is in it for you guys though? I understand at some point you and your team will most likely buy some of your own coins. Thats kinda the glaring fault with ICOs, since those coins end up being free. It's just the way things are though so I'm not really worried about it too much.

But is there a business model you haven't revealed yet? Is the plan to make money selling licenses to the different components? 3 skilled developers aren't typically going to spend their own money and time slaving away at a project for no financial gain. Which is very understandable, a man has to eat.

We won't sell the licenses... Closed source is actually a sort of easy, but we won't go 100% closed source, and won't keep it open source either. We'll have the inbetween consensus ready for the unnofficial launch of our alpha-build.

The point of restrictive license is that the codebase will be available for distribution to developers who need access to sources in order to build their project, that happens to be open-source, but we will require anyone who distributes derivatives to publish the source available under the same terms.

We would not be able to make clear business predictions because:

1) it is difficult to maintain market position when we're in the stage of ongoing crowdfunding campaign, i.e very beginning;
2) yet we don't control our distribution network and can't delve into details that can make or break our project - balance sheets, cash flow, budgeting;
3) we haven't finalized the question of timing but we sure it will have financial consequences that affect our overall planing model.

When we deliver our value, platform will rely on clear definition of benefits we provide to store your data via inlets, and that, we hope, will state our strategy for ensuring usability and client satisfaction.
