You're right, its difficult getting people on board projects this days as the competition is really something else, the community seems to join projects with some sort of reassurance or yardstick, such as the funds needed for softcap, this project really have a small softcap and i expect them to hit it sooner than expected, that's why their marketing team should be up and running
This project's soft cap is not so small. $250 000 is the pre ICO soft cap, the main ICO event soft cap is 10 million USD. 6 days left till the end of pre ICO, let's wait and see if 250 K will be raised.
Fingers crossed they make it. Don't think the bar is updating, can't imagine they have received nothing further past $200k. Time will tell very soon though I guess.
