I think we had it in this discussion already, that Namecoin is primarily an asset, what you get is a blockchain domain name. Also there has never been an ICO, simply because there were no costs to cover while adding the additional name operations to the existing Bitcoin code. Of course no one knows how many public funds the Namecoin devs got ever as it has never been published. This is the only "dark history" of Namecoin, that some people are hiding behind a pseudo organization with pseudo .org TLD and ridiculous fantasy positions, giving the impression of acting as volunteers for the community - but cashing how many undeclared thousands of public funds. But this will finally have an end! When the .bit resolution is finally running and established we can think about further listings. Might be I'll create my own trading platform meanwhile, or I'm assisting in getting WEX finally alive again, then Namecoin should be listed again as well.
