I like the fact that this project was base on POG and POW. In addition, I also like the concept behind it either i.e the three pillars which the project was meant to trigger but I don't know if you guys are planning to do an ICO in the future because I read through your site and road map nothing was said about ICO
Meanwhile, how are you planning to do the whole thing if theres no ICO now and in future?
dev dont want ico because he has 1mil usd to invest in his coin.
Here's an article that details Merit's USD 1M funding:

Such front-loading of capital into an organization limits opportunities for decentralized acquisition, such as mining. It also harkens comparisons to the cash-rich, hollow startups of the dot-com era. Designed to grow as a healthy, sustainable system, Merit is decentralized and widely applicable, course-correcting back to Satoshis mission."
