We already bought some prior to the situation you described. If the ICO doesn't reach 80% or higher there is no reason to launch the coin with it's current specs. We will just ask Bill to refund everyone and end the thread. In case there are more who can see the actual value in this coin, We want to ask everyone in the community if they would be ok extending the ICO to see if interest generates. Was there something missing from the wallet that people wanted? We can add it. If there a certain service people like to see? We will do our best to get it.
Just let our team know if the ICO extension is ok, and we will run it for another 72 hours. Architectcoin is still looking for more IRC mods. We now have 2 community managers as well.
Not sure if an extra 72 hrs will matter, but sure, if I was in your shoes at this point, I'd just extend it.
I offered up some suggestions in this thread how to salvage the situation. Bittrex could use the same rules Polo does in regard to ICOs/ICDs. You could agree to offer up a buy wall after the ICO ends, at least for the first day or two, at original ICO prices. If you had done both of those things from the start, I expect sales would be much better than they are now.
You could go ahead even if that 80% mark isn't reached, by simply revising your model. Go with 1-2 cheap or free workers, and go with the rare coin model (XLC/XBC), since so many would be destroyed. You'd still have to support the coin however, or even the rarity aspect won't matter. It would at the least most likely result in a higher price than ICO levels. Even with 72 extra hours, unless something changes with the rules or perhaps a buy wall, I don't see 80% happening.
