UPDATE
=====
As of today the ICO is still being requested a pause which has only moved the launch date from the 15th of December to the 8th of January. This was requested by a Chinese company that is interested in buying Utemis. Regardless of if this happens or not the ICO bounty will continue and payouts will be made regardless if buyout occurs or not.
It is important that the Bounty continues so that if negotiations are not a success that the ICO launch and project remains on schedule and promoted well.
