You guys are looking at this wrong. 

Aug 1st was chosen by the Iconomi team FOR the specific reason of market uncertainty.

Market uncertainty has suppressed the market.  ICNX going public while markets are at lows (relatively speaking, of course) means higher returns for ICNX/ICNPs/etc investors because they're getting access at market lows and that rebound will be viewed favorably and included/reflected in performance results.

There's no better time to launch than at the bottom.

None.
