Anyhow, for cofound.it to be fund raising, what method are they gonna use to raise their funds?
Selling the remaining 13 Million tokens?
New tokens call CFI?
Well be raising funds using an Ethereum ICO smart contract. New tokens are provisionally called CFI - thoughts?
Yes it is a calculated move to get more funds from the public, that's the definition of an ico. Who calculated the move, though? Were Tim and Jani the masterminds behind this plan because they wanted more money?
Or is it more likely that Yan and Daniel wanted a bigger piece of the pie then they would get if they stayed on as salaried employees of Iconomi? Can you blame them for that if they saw an opportunity to fill a niche in the market?
How would you have kept it running as it was if two employees were determined to start their own venture?
It was more like this: OK guys, we now realize that this program could be really good for everyone but it needs bigger funds and more focus than we thought. ICONOMI investors did not sign up for that. The only real test is to pitch the project to potential investors and see what they say.
While me and Daniel are fond of money, thats not what motivates us. We joined ICONOMI to work with the best people in the business. And we still will! Look at it this way - everybody is still where it is, just lines have been redrawn.
