From ICONOMI delay blog post on medium:
As a substantial number of ICONOMI ICO investors intend to move ICN tokens to exchanges, we do not want to launch into an environment where investors might have to wait an excessive period of time to access ICN tokens; furthermore, this might also hinder the listing of ICN tokens at exchanges.
This is a no sense, first do the genesis then, also after month you can hit the exchange. Like a lot of project have done in the past years.
Devs are trolling us or are they so unpreparated?
No one is trolling.
Factors you should consider:
- gas/network... least of a problem, but to consider
- unsynced wallets of some users. problem to a certain degree. i have synced one, you might have it too. we had quite some support email with that issue. there are also few posts here regarding that. all users should have same starting position (or close to all)
- people inputting addresses of exchanges jaxx wallets who knows what else (see in this thread only). this is worrisome because it can mean that someone might burn ICN completely. and when not burned there will be tons of questions how to get ICNs back.
The last one is where we got caught unprepared. Instructing users how to prepare for ICN.
You should had posted which wallet you recommend that people should use with the pictures you had there on the blog in the first place and something that confirms that you did set it up correctly. If that was done days ago, there would had been less problems.
And the fact that there are so many people with problems, it probably means that alot of people didnt get the message properly or that the guide isn't good enough.
What is wrong with people withdrawing to exchanges? As long as the exchange added Iconomi, it shouldn't be a problem, or should it? Just like withdrawing rep or any other ethereum based coin to polo should be fine as far as I'm concerned. Myetherwallet or mist will probably provide a same type of address anyway. Can you please clarify this?
The problem is no exchange confirmed adding ICN yet. Therefore, there is no 'ICN deposit option' on exchanges yet. So what kind of exchange adresses do you think those users put in their ICN account ?? Eth ones ? Btc ones ? Those tokens would just end up lost forever..
I wouldn't mind decreasing the supply already but I think those investors would.
