I have no memory of anyone saying iota was finished prior to crowd sale.
Purpose of the crowdsale
Development. The crowdsale funds will be used for further development and finalization of the IOTA software as well as development of the Jinn hardware processor which will strengthen and help bootstrap the network in its growing phase. Additionally funds will be used on marketing efforts to help nurture the growth of the IOTA network and community.
Calm yo-self, sir!
Very well respected community members, and what of this:
ball park eta til you have something in the wild?
By Christmas.
The phrase "in the wild" means only one thing. Is IOTA in the wild? No.
And there are more.
Yes the project should be made as good as possible.
No, the release time dates were not accurate .
What can I say? Somebody screwed up I guess?
