There will be no mining unless we meet the minimum BTC. And we only have a few hours and need a min of 83 more BTC. It could happen there was an ICO that sold a few hundred in about a day.

What about lowering expectations and living with what you get? Hard to recover from a failed ICO, it sends a negative message.

If this ICO fails like it looks like it will the coin will be canceled there will be no envy. I also will not attempt another coin. This will be a huge financial loss for me. And it shows me that I do not have ideas that most of crypto likes.

Hmm.. BitSwift raised > 320 BTC ... I really wonder why you only have raised like 17 BTC

My personal speculation is that ICOs these days are an insider game. If you aren't on the inside with a huge network of whales, you won't sell much.

Look at what BitSwift is promising. They're promising to add some features that many other coins have, and then they are promising to add mobile staking wallets (which requires a full node, and is thus probably nearly impossible, not to mention Apple is very adverse to crypto wallets). There was one of the team members that came into #bittrex and asking for leads on a dev that could build the mobile staking wallets for them. This indicates they don't even have a good developer working on this for them full time, determining if the stuff they put in marketing is even possible.

This is all my personal speculation. I would've thought the same thing even if I was not associated with ENVY.
