The Decentraland team has posted a recap of the token sale here:
https://blog.decentraland.org/mana-token-launch-recap-eed3a3ce212The rumor that the top buyers were all whales is wrong. Most of the top "whales" were pools with dozens or hundreds of individual participants, including:
0x4f96: ico.info: 18,000 ETH, 1,083 participants.
0x9608: BitcoinSuisse: 10,000 ETH, 87 participants.
0xA65E: Gatecoin, 6,900 ETH, 66 participants.
0x4Dc: Cintixs contract crowd buy, 6,668 ETH, 358 participants.
0x033c: TokenCapital, 2,500 ETH, 160 participants.
0x36f5: 3ICO, 4,000 ETH, 357 participants.
In total there were over 2,000 individual buyers. So it wasn't the big whale party that everyone is complaining about.
But a lot of individual supporters couldn't buy in. I think the moral here is, next time do your buying with a pool. That's what I'll do, anyway.
And what about all slack members (how many of them, several thousand at least?) that thought the are in the whitelist?
And we cannot check the real number of participants for these organizations and you don't know exact amount of investments. It could be very large number of very small investors and few big whales who control almost all tokens. To update this info, you need to know the max cap for individual investor for these pools...
Lots of questions.
