If I understand this correctly, it means the Mavin ICO launches alongside with the platform Next year 3 quarter. Sincerely isn't this time too long, many prospective donors would loose interests over time. Anyways good luck guys.
Yes thats exactly the plan, we don't want pump and dump investors.
A utility token without a product makes no sense, so we try to attract the right kind of investors and have a strong launch in Q3 2018.
If you look at most ICO's they all lost value because of pump and dump just after the TDE or after a few month, where apparently "nothing" happens.
To prevent this kind of deflation we decided thats the way we want to go.
If a current investor doesn't want to wait until then we refund him 100% of the contribution, until now we just had 1 refund, which we really appreciate.
