The early sale was done, so we will just have to live with it. Breaking the rules of the IPO may not look so great, and for precisely the reason that BEECoinFan mentioned. Those over the cap and with a chance of still getting IPO coins then had no chance whatsoever.

As I just have PM'ed BEECoinFan, our main goal with this move was to protect the buyers, looking to swap their Bter accounts. We felt it's a reasonable compromise to slightly advance the trades (due to Bter being the major genesis block destination), especially after seeing the poll thread responses. It also why we did our best to refund these who had their CRSALE pending ASAP, so they could get their BTC back for other opportunities.

I do agree that we could have communicated it better, and perhaps the outcome of the opinions would be different then.
We are learning from this experience, and will apply additional communication mediums next time to reach as many buyers as possible, when such important decision is needed.

Glad to see that those people who wanted instant profit took top priority in what your company wanted to protect. (As you had to protect their BTER accounts) instead of sticking to the Terms and conditions laid out to the people who's bitcoin you held for over 2 weeks after issuing them CR TOKENS.

As other members have pointed out your poll
a) Allowed all bitcointalk members (including multiple accounts, and non investors to vote)
b) Assuming all 62 yes votes were legit you only had 13.4% of investors voting YES hardly a majority.

Still disgusted in the way you decided to Break one set of terms and conditions but not another (even though they could have been fixed without breaking the second set) I sincerely hope that your team does not continue to conduct business in this manner as I view it as unprofessional and was hoping that you would be a coin that could be considered new technology leader and not bending to a minority's Quick profit mentality.

I think you made your point - no need to keep reinstating it. As a Crypti investor I am fine with the early release - even though I have no intention to sell anytime soon. No one was injured in the early release.
