It is simple, though perhaps communications poor.
White list members have been given a low cap to allow everyone white listed to participate. You know, instead of a few hundred large investors hovering up everything and thousands of white listed getting nothing. If you don't think 0.5 ETH is enough, buy more in round 3 if any left or when they become available on market. If that doesn't suit you because you just wanted to flip a couple of ETH on exchange yourself, well jog on, someone will pick them up in round 3.
This is how ICO should be conducted, spread distribution widely across those interested. Compare to Refereum that ditched their entire community by selling out the ICO to some big investors.
Communication is poor is a massive understatement.
I was able to contribute the 0.5ETH but the whole process has been mismanaged in the past few weeks. Instead of running around like headless chickens in the telegram group, the team should have just provided a couple of simple email updates.
