Re: the team has only $800,000 in eth from $12.9 million ico money.
whaat, whaaat !! you joking? the team has only $800,000 in eth from $12.9 million ico money. if this is not a scam, then what it is 
Heh. They will run out of ETH soon, and then if they want to keep paying their developers in ETH they will have to buy on the market.
hahaha. in 3 months they need to buy new eth to pay developers. burning rate $250,000 a month. after 3 months all eth is gone. hihihi project is doomed and doomsday is near
How is that a surprise for you? This was already mentioned in the AmA that they have 6500 ETH (1 Mio USD at that time). They also have 680 BTC (2.7 Mio USD) and 5.1 Mio. USD in Fiat.
I don't think they are required to pay devs in ETH, they can also pay in BTC, USD or NIM, so they don't need to buy ETH to pay devs... In fact, given the low amount of transactions on the ETH wallet, I bet they don't normally pay team members with ETH.
Also it was probably a very good idea to not have many ETH anymore, the price of ETH is now half of what it was during the ICO, so they saved a lot of money by selling their ETH to BTC and USD.
Have you ever seen closed source mining pools before? Nope.
All major Bitcoin mining pools are closed source. The crypto currency mining industry usually is only interested in maximizing their profits, they don't share the ideology of crypto currencies and open-source...
In a year and a half, half of the ico money went to dust. Nothing great was created. Nimiq will go definitely go to the trash history of icos. I am thankful I sold all my bag and I am done with the shitshow.
12.9 Mio. USD (number from robin.nimiq see above) to 9.9 Mio. USD is not exactly reduced by half. In fact it is less than 1/4th used...
