What do you think caused such a decline in contributers?
The positive in this is that there is less of a supply, which should make our share more valuable. The team has said that they have enough to move forward with the project. But obviously more is better.
Sure more is better, but mainly it's a factor of scalability - as you see we're working on software releases all the time, and intend to keep our deadlines, or perhaps even exceed them, however all large projects, especially if you're trying to disrupt an entire industry, require advertising and large partnerships, and the more money we receive during the ICO, the easier that becomes.
