A re-launch is the best option, that way investors won't lose out.
If the invested BTC was in escrow, how would investors be losing out?
If I'm understanding this correctly, a relaunch means that everyone here just wasted 2 hours of time and resources, as opposed to only two (apparently garbage) devs having to refund a handful of BTC.
Are there other factors that I am not considering? The choice seems fairly obvious to simply cancel the IPO...
Yes why think about the 50-60 people who actually invested money in this
.time (and electricity) is money... and how many days ahead was 1500 really anyway?
yes time is money, we waited 12-14 days only to see our investment halved in 2 hrs
and we are wrong for complaining. your investment didn't halved, you still woulda made a profit. you were also right to complain. just saying more was wasted overall this route. things woulda played out fine if it kept going
