Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the ICO:
I think I understand how the price will be pegged (from the plain English statement in the main thread), but the formula

MAX(PRICEWEEK(N) ([AMOUNT] BTC x 4 / 1,528,000 DSLK)
is not really clear.

Is what you mean that the price for one DSLK (in BTC) will be
Code:
DSLK_PRICE = max( WEEKLY_ICO_FUNDING_VOLUME_IN_BTC ) * 4 / 1,528,000
?

Cheers, and good luck with the ICO

Yes, your equation is correct. The week with the highest volume sets the price for all four weeks. It may be more accurately stated as follows, though:
Code:
argmax WEEKLY_VOLUME_BTC*cos(PRICE_ELASTICITY_OF_DEMAND) * 4 / 1,528,000
         where argmax == DSLK_PRICE && DSLK_PRICE is on the interval [0.25, 2.5]; PRICE_ELASTICITY_OF_DEMAND is in the range of all real numbers
