What motivates the creation of a ‘Sci-Fi’ ICO, as opposed to a scam or a fraud, is that there is “no intention to defraud its investors”, it is just that the actual goal of the ICO is rather hard to achieve realistically. That is the view contained in a report from DARFChain, an ERP system built on blockchain technology currently in the pre-ICO stage.
A good example would be the Peter Thiel-backed, SeaSteading Institute - if they would ever go to an ICO model. The project has solid, world recognized names backing it up. However, the idea of the project that is creating whole new countries in free areas of the ocean - is clearly very difficult to achieve, albeit not entirely impossible.
DARFChain’s report comes as Chinese regulators - including the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Banking Regulatory Commission - were to crack down on ICOs, according to Beijing-based media group Caixin.
