"Ionomy Funds" are not defined in the white paper and are funds that Ionomy has earn as a company operating successfully for six months providing quite a few Ionomy services to the community. The "Ionomy Funds" have nothing to do with the premined coins generated at the beginning of the ION project.
Such as "earning" a million coins from staking funds that don't belong to them?
Here is a list of Ionomy services and the Ionomy company makes coins/funds off of every service except Electrons:

Amaze me. How many?
You should become a Whale and then the company private info released by Huey would be available to you...
Pay money and you too can be an exclusive insider trader too.
Alpha phase is just testers so its therefore the dire hard investors that are purchasing lives with fiat money. The actual test is release to a non associated investor base. It actually isn't a good metric to use when its forced purchases to test.
Ion's haven't been made either. The purchased lives are split 3 ways remember... exchange buy, points. Also remember that the ions purchased on the exchange are NOT given to the lives purchaser. I don't see that stated anywhere. I can only assume those purchased ions go to the ionomy people who then sell those ions back right? So regardless if there is indeed a purchase pool ionomy has no incentive to hold ions. They can simply sell back straight away into market for btc.
The worst thing about this is it all crumbles without actual buy support... the buy pool is useless and nullifies itself out. e.g.
Person spends $1 in gravity.
33c goes to buying ion from exchange that goes to team
team then sells that ion back to make 33c
so there is no actual movement.. the buyers still determine the books and by buyers i mean real buyers and not the buy pool gravity purchase stuff. Its all a red herring.
They are selling ions that nobody needs. They can't be used in games, i see no actual use... even the buy an xbox store comes from points (which mind you you end up paying for yourself... 1 point per $3)
Its just marketing and words there is no magic.
