....I will definitely need to have a few btc set aside for when the performance fund is offered to ICO participants."
that is if they will not reach the limit. there are lots of investors waiting to get into it, wanting to be a big player. If I have the btc, i'd be the first even if not invited. but just in case, its a good thing to have btc ready.
Can somebody please explain to me how profits from an expanding ICNP cash pool is going to work? At the end of ICO, all the BTC above 10K BTC was allocated to the ICNP, about $4.6M total. OK. In the near future, there will be weekly dividends distributed among ICN token holders, and those dividends will represent 20% of the profits made by the ICNP for that week. OK. So far so good.
Now 'let us pretend" about the future. ICONOMI says they will send out invitations to ICO participants to "invest" more money into the ICNP. In round numbers, assume that BTC appreciation has turned the original ICNP pool of $4.6M into a nice, round, even $5M today. Let's also pretend that ICNP accepts / gets an additional $5M from ICO participants to increase the ICNP cash pool. The ICNP now has $10M, half from the ICO, half from invited participation.
So now it's Jan 2017 and the ICNP makes some profit. How does that profit flow down to those who have invested in the ICNP? 20% of the profit goes to ICN token holders. This 20% share going to all ICN holders is a larger amount due to contributions of the invitees than it would have been without them - is that fair? Regardless, now we've still got 80% of the profit we have to allocate. How much of that goes back to invited participants? And how? Can the invited participants "give" their share in this profit to somebody else? If so, how? By a new "ICNP" token?
Just sharing my writeup here that I am submitting for tomorrow's Reddit AMA...
ICNP will have it's own token (as far as I remember non-tradable). Final numbers of the fund are not yet released, they should be published before the invites are sent.
I believe 80% of the profits will go to ICNP direct investors, and 20% to ICN holders.
This 20% share going to all ICN holders is a larger amount due to contributions of the invitees than it would have been without them - is that fair?
I think it is a fair game. 20% is from realized profits, if ICNP has more funds - it is better for ICN holders. Just like ICNX (2% passive fees) - the more money is in the fund, the bigger the profit/ICN is.
