You want to collect 0.3 BTC per masternode? How many of those are there going to be and don't you think that is quite expensive for a project that has no track record at all?
That really depends on what expensive is considered. Its a lot of money i agree with you there but launching a cryptocurrency is expensive, just with marketing and exchange fees you are looking to spend at a very conservative rate 3BTC. ( and thats with not a great exchange)
The pre-sale is for 10 masternodes which will give exactly that 3BTC.
Now, lets also take into account the cost of development and marketing for once you have being listed on an exchange for the project to survive. We are building a platform, not a simple masternode coin with the purpose of ( fast payments, secure payments, and high roi) but a tangible project.
We believe there is a strong demand for ICO-investors that do not have big sums of money to meet the early stage ICO requirements but would still like to obtain the same benefits that HNW investors do therefore we are here to test our vision. If masternodes are not sold then our assumptions will be wrong - and thats is fine. However, a platform where investors can gather together and build a community of like minded individuals that co-invest together is not a shit project by any means and thats what we are here to build.
What we cant do is kill the project from the start by not raising enough capital to develop the platform. I hope this has answered your question
