Re: [ANN]ceal.io - decentralized information and messaging network - crowdfund live
no update ? 
We informed all supporters that we are temporary halting the crowdfund campaign. Each supporters can choose between refund or keeping funds in escrow plus bonus on ico-relaunch. The ico relaunch will take place on release of layer #4 token network. We changed the timeframe to 6 weeks total funding-campaign starting in november (this month). Bonus rewards are:
1 week 33% bonus
1 week 20% bonus
2 weeks 12% bonus
2 weeks regular
*early supporter from round #1 get additional 15% if they keep backup-amount in escrow.
We came to the conclusion that this step is the best for this project and its ecosystem and to proof technical competence on our side.
notice: You can make a deposit to ceal.io anytime - this will still qualify you for stage 1 bonus reward (1/3 more coins).
I think that a relaunch without token selling for those who already invested is not a fair way to go with.
If the ICO don't meet the goal I assume a more fair way is to decrease it's goal and distribute only part of the token for initial supporters. Then you built your self a small community + nice amount of money to pay developers to continue their work for few more months + adding PR member to improve marketing. Then few weeks later (once development has progressed + community awareness is higher) make the actual ICO with the rest of the tokens.
This initial ICO should become an early adopters or a pre sale. That way you don't harm those who believed in you before others did, otherwise it is just greedy.
Appreciate your response to that Ceal dev. Thanks and have great day all

I fully understand your point. But to distribute 10% of total coin supply upon this small group of people and for the value of the funded amount brings no benefit to the project and marketsituation. We do of course respect the early supporter, who like you say, believed in us from the first moment. This people will get a special reward for this like I did explain in my previous answer to have a exclusive benefit.
thank you,
