I read it paused because they got some investment or so.
Where did you read this?
Can anyone provide proof of this information? Where can I see the public wallet, to verify this. I get the impression that the participants of this branch, just inflate the balloon. Give me proof of the success of the project.

https://medium.com/vogov/on-pause-leveraging-the-market-stagnation-vogov-re-evaluation-and-500-000-f209499d11ceThe public token sale has been paused because of the cryptocurrency market situation. It was our mistake to be mainly aimed at audience of the cryptocurrency market experiencing FUD. We were too dependent on the market falling down. When we talked to our waitlisted prospects, most of them answered that they were going to participate in the sale but when the time came the market changed and it affected their decision. On the contrary, porn fans are not so dependant on the market. When we launched the pre-crowdsale, we got a lot of questions about how to participate, what wallet to use, what ETH is and so on. The main issue was that most of them wanted to pay with fiat directly. There are also several aspects we missed. The lessons are learnt. Now we're working on simplification of the contribution process and attraction of more porn fans. For example, here's one thing we did for that:

As you can see in the article, acquisition of a 500k contribution was held within the private sale. According to the agreement we will receive the funds when OgoShift Merchant becomes publicly available, not only for our partners. By that time the 500k contribution is kept in a bank escrow.
A project's success is not determined by successful fundraising. There are a lot of token sale projects succeeded in fundraising, but where are their products, community of users (not investors)... A token sale is only a tool.
