@fractastical, With a "NO" vote, I assume your team will be developing the software even while you continue fundraising, no?

Not really, fundraising is very time intensive and with a NO vote I will probably spend most of the time up until the 20th on marketing/fundraising/PR. If we get a YES vote I will spend the next week just developing the product, hopefully with a working prototype by the 10th of July.

I'm actually quite tired of fundraising so I hope people vote YES.

I think I will vote "YES" unless I can be convinced otherwise.

I want to see a product, and I am, honestly, less concerned with shares that are out there in the ether than I am with having a viable product that will bring in new potential investors/users. I appreciate the importance of taking care of initial investors, but this is not even an alpha product. So far Swarm does not even have a whitepaper. So what, exactly, are we investing in? At this point, this project is susceptible to the "vaporware" insult that is thrown at it.

To put it another way: When I worked in a pool hall in North Carolina, the guys would sit around and talk about how good they were and who could beat who, etc. It was a lot of fun, but with a serious undertone. At some point, one of the guys would lose patience and say to one of the jaw-boners, "Do it, then talk about it." And either the other guy would have to put up his money and play, or shut the hell up. So let's do it, then talk about it.

Or convince me otherwise.
