Does anybody know how long will 100% bonus be active?
If I am correct 100 percent bonus will be active in first stage of the ICO that will run until November 28 or once they achieved their target which is 3000 ETH.

According to this graph the common bonus for early investment should start from 35% and gradually go down to zero. There is a shift at 3000 ETH due to lower risks of investment after reaching the first goal i.e. soft cap.
I believe the graph you posted applies only to stage 2.
I think the goal for both stages is a total of 13000 ETH:
Stage 1 (pre-sale) of ICO has a goal of 3000 ETH.
Stage 2 (main-sale) of ICO has a goal of 10000 ETH.
I think it is merely coincidental that there is a shift at 3000 ETH in the graph.
As to the bonus, one must wonder where the bonus coins come from? Let's take stage 1 as an example.
The ANN states that stage 1 will offer 250mln tokens (COIN) and will end when the goal of 3000 ETH is reached.
One must assume all tokens distributed during the stage 1 pre-sale must come from the stated stage 1 supply of 250mln tokens.
Therefore to cover the 100% bonus one must assume that of the 250mln tokens available that only 125mln can be sold. The remaining 125mln tokens are reserved so that they will be used for the 100% pre-sale bonus.
The amount of ETH collected remains the same.
With no pre-sale bonus:
250mln tokens
-------------------- = 83333.33 tokens per ETH (average)
3000 ETH
With 100% pre-sale bonus:
125 mln tokens (sold) + 125 mln tokens (bonus)
---------------------------------------------------------- = 83333.33 tokens per ETH (average)
3000 ETH
The end-result is the same with or without the 100% bonus.
-------------
For the main sale it was a little harder to calculate due to the variable bonus. But fortunately we don't have to worry about the bonus because as we saw above it doesn't affect the end result:
500 mln tokens
---------------------- = 50000 tokens per ETH (average)
10000 ETH
Final summary based on stated goals and available supply at each sale stage:
Pre-sale: 83333.33 tokens per ETH (average)
Main-sale: 50000 tokens per ETH (average)
I specify (average) next to all my results because one must assume that deals will be made with large investors and will ultimately decrease the tokens per ETH for smaller investors, but I would think this is pretty normal. All I know for sure is that if I had 300 ETH or even just 30 ETH to invest you better believe I would negotiate a great price.
Everything I said might be completely wrong as I don't know much about how ICOs operate so please correct me wherever needed.
Thanks! And I think this is a great project, with or without a pre-sale bonus..
The proof here just show how proof of stake works with most ICOS, the more an investor invests, the more staking power, and here sintez is rewarding that commitment with a bonus. I clear can see how total number of investors is not directly proportional to the amount of tokens in distribution. a single invest can simply buy 1/3 of the entire stakes and gets double of that. Wow...! That leaves less for other investors to share.
