As said, auctions are solely used for exchange fundings. Thats also why we decided to release the wallets and the blockchain BEFORE the auctions - that you see that we really did some development

Bountys/Airdrops will be launched after wallets release.
if you need funds for exchange listings, why not fixed price sale?
it is much harder to predict and calculate the listing budget with auction...
Both have advantages and disadvantages. it makes no sense to promise an exchange when there are not enough funds. depending on the auction we will - together with the community - decide where to list when. With the auction we see your response to this project and can together work on exchanges which make sense.
