Why dont you have goals to have the btc released to you? I would invest if that was the case but its not so I cant. If you change that to make sure you must achieve x y and z before you got your btc I would feel much better about investing.
We do have goals to achieve before escrow release funds, it was one of the first things we thought about while looking for a community trusted escrow:
We chose SebastianJu, probably the most famous and trusted on this board, with over 8,000 BTC escrowed in his career.
I was asked by CGC Project, the issuer, to provide an Escrow address that is used to collect the funds for the ICO of CGC Coins.
Safety from Escrow
The wallet and MTG game server will be released 24 hours before the ICO ends. The CGC Coins are released to the investors till 12 hours after ICO ended. I will release 50% of the investment. We will wait 7 days to see if everything goes fine then I will release the remaining Bitcoins to the issuer. This way of handling things is useful, waiting times already stopped a number of scammy ICO's from happening because there is time to show the validity of the ICO.
When ICO is running some trusted members, preferably experienced in the game, will be chosen to check out the game and the engines.
A refund will happen if 10 BTC are not met at the end of the ICO.
To sum it up: 50% of crowdfunded btc will be released to us after:
1) a trusted member will test the engine in a private pre-release (escrow will join it, of course)
2) we release CGC wallett
3) we release CGC funds
4) we release CGC game engine
5) we release CGC market engine
6)12 hours at least are passed to see software works (and we respected point 1 to 5)
The other 50% of crowdfunded BTC will be released to us after 7 days from ICO ends.
We think that's enough to let you feel much better about investing in our project.
