When you were planning development budget of 850 BTC, bitcoin price was lower. On top of that, you have collected more than what you need to develop the BlockNet. Therefore, you should have excess funds that you could use for the buyback and support the price. Why don't you spend 100 BTC or so on the buyback?
That is 364.38012183 BTC ~ 150 thousand USD.
Have you considered to sacrifice (bittrex 7.8 + poloniex 3.6 + bter dust) / total =
only
3% of your immense gains, to stabilize the trading back to ICO prices?
That would immediately stop a lot of complaints.
You believe in your project? Then buy up some of your coins, for cheap.
EDIT: And you probably need less BTC, once the market understands that the trend towards 0 Satioshi is reversed.
A buy wall is actually something we've considered cursorily.
It's not a bad idea - and neither is it a bad idea for the Foundation to be invested in BLOCK.
We'll let you all know if we decide to do this. It makes a degree of sense.
(Hint: might wanna avoid selling at a loss until we respond to this...)
It won't need 100 BTC, far from it. Because a (slow slow slow!) rally upwards just needs to be triggered and supported, and then other market participants will join in. Be clever, think willy bot. Or buy all in one go - to avoid in between dumping? I really don't know which way comes out cheaper in the end.
Facts:
13.97 BTC = Poloniex sell orders until 25000
7.0672 BTC = Bittrex sell orders until 25000
~0.2 BTC = Bter sell orders until 25000
----------
21.2 BTC
that is 5.8% of the ICO, last week it was only 3%.
So the buyback has become more expensive now, i.e. more people are loosing trust, plus low buy price allows for gains already below 25000. "The" price is starting to settle around half-ICO. Not what you want.
If you had acted when I suggested it, you would have saved yourself 9.6 BTC, for the same action. Consider to tip me 10% of that, for my good ideas

EDIT: Thx for the small tip, well appreciated. And yes, the sooner this is settled, the earlier this most important change will happen:
Can we get back to BlockNET
EDIT2: and the buyback would
not be a loss, because the blocknet foundation would own (cheap!) BLOCKcoins in exchange for that.
... and neither is it a bad idea for the Foundation to be invested in BLOCK.
I was really surprised to read that you are not ? ? ?
