80% are going to be distributed to the crowd-funders in proportional relation of their support.
10% will be split among early-adopters (of the first 3 days) proportional to their investment amount .

What does it mean? Those 3 days have already started? Why do you want to attract everybody to collect in the first 3 days? Typically this is done in short-term projects, to create rush... Why do you need it?

Also, please give an example. If I invest today, I fall into both categories (crowd-funders and early-adopters), so will I get share both from those 10%, and from another 80%? Or the 80% are reserved for those who invest after 3 days?

If you invest today you will be a backer + early bird. This is the benefit for the people who support us from the very beginning. This is only for the first three days. After that supporters get the 80% reserve.

Example: You back the project today. Yout get the proportional amount from the 80% (which is calculated at the end of the crowdfund) + you get the proportional amount of the 10%. This 10% will be shared between all "early-birds".

Thanks a lot, that's clear and full explanation.

But you missed my another question above - why do you create such rush? 10% of supply is very big amount, and only few backers with insider knowledge could fully trust and invest in 3 days (which is extremally short period to understand the legitimacy of the project for a unrelated person).
From the other hand, many scam coins are using this approach to draw more funds from greedy people, who prefer to invest in something hyped without understanding the real value of the project.

In both cases, such reward structure is not good, and raised suspicions. Why did you choose such small timeframe?

you are welcome. We wanted to provide the early backers some sort of benefit and to get the crowdfund rolling. We did not want to raise suspicions. We might widen the timeframe to couple more days. Would this be better? But like said - we want the early supporters to get a little bigger reward.

Yes, I a wider timeframe would be much more appropriate. I agree it is good to have a bonus for early supporters to attract them and in general to make people invest earlier (as other guy also pointed here), but I cannot agree someone could make justified conclusion in 1 hour or 1 day with so much information missing at the moment (escrow issues, need to make team more visible, need to make some code available etc, so people could make some reasonable assessment). Given all that, 3 days is too short period. It is more of a time period for gamblers, not early supporters

I suppose 1 week could be much more reasonable.
