I suspect this might be the payout to the team and advisers post ICO and ahead of exchange listings going live.

Just noticed the 450+ million increase to circulation, now more than double what it was before. Has there been a private placement, or is the stat an error?

Your ecosystem diagram is a powerful tool for describing and understanding JSEcoin's strategy, and it's only a matter of time before a mainstream blogger/commentator decides to throw it some love. Amazing what you guys have accomplished so far in a completely dead market. I'll say again that I really like your quiet confidence, and not over-hyping and bringing many "experts" and "advisers" on board for the sake of impressing with names and titles. The competencies in all aspects of this project will speak for itself. As they say, the cream rises to the top!

Exactly, I would like to see all whom have mined tokens so far invest the same amount of tokens in the ICO, or ideally have a 6 month freeze in being able to sell their mined tokens when the exchange opens.

Just a further thought, and I may not have thought this all the way through, but:

It seems to me a good percentage of JSEcoin holders who have mined their coins for "free" are waiting for the exchange to immediately sell them into the market.

These are the ones that are less interested in the future price and holding for investment, and more interested in getting any price, which is better than "free".

So there might be a short term dump driving the price below the .006 ICO price when the exchange happens, and maybe some investors are counting on this, buying in the market, rather than investing in the ICO now.

Does it make any sense to clear the air now, get the exchange going, let this happen, have low float at the beginning, then slowly sell supply into the market as it can absorb it at $.006 until funding goal is achieved?

I know this is different than all other ICO models, but JSEcoin is rather unique in that there are these "free" mined coins out there.

Well, as of today I see an elephant in the room.

We reached the 20 million JSE ICO distribution a few days ago, and there has been about a further 150k distribution after that, so far.

At this pace, that means only about 150 million ICO distribution by end date of Oct. 11. This isn't even higher than the total amount that has been mined as of today. There would be no point dragging the ICO out beyond that.

That means about $900k for the team to advance the project. Is that enough? I don't know.

This is far below the 5 billion distribution or $30 million hard cap hoped for. I understand though that something far below $30 million, but still much above $900k, could still be adequate.

What I see are many more interested in getting the exchange going and fantasizing about possible price, than actually investing in the project in the first place.

There are 90k+ registrants, 20K+ publishers, and 3k+ miners, the vast majority whom have apparently not yet showed up for the ICO.

I would have thought these groups would have been the most dependable investors. Apparently not, so far.

I don't know the JSE team, but am impressed with what they've done and how they've handled everything so far. I hope others vote with some of their funds as well to make the fantasies a reality.

This ICO is one of the few (or only) I've seen that shows a financial officer as part of their listed team. It seems to me that properly managing the ten's of millions of dollars of value with proper controls  suddenly obtained via an ICO is as important as the other roles. So I congratulate JSEcoin on this realization. Will you continue to publish monthly (or quarterly) accounts after the ICO, as part of your transparency theme?
