I have a couple of questions for the ChronoLogic team. Maybe people have asked or are asking this also on Slack, but since i don't like Slack i hope you forgive me in the case of duplication
* How does the recent (immediately effective) ban on ICOs by Chinese authorities affect Chronologic?
I know the tokensale/ico was finished before this news hit, but your headquarters is in Hong Kong (incorporated there?) which is considered a special administrative region of China. Did you get any inquiries by officials into how you handled your ICO and if it was compliant with local laws? And if not, is there a contingency plan in case you still get in trouble retroactively?
The thing is: i fear that the DAY token could be considered a security because it does not have utility yet (when it's traded on exchange(s)) until you build a time based instrument that uses the token somehow. Or do you look at the TimeMint as that first utility in the ecosystem?
From an investor's perspective;
* Why did you choose for an emission/minting model for the tokens that is logarithmic and not linear?
What i mean is: there might be a heavy incentive for the ico contributors to sell off their DAY tokens (they initially get based on their contributed ETH) on the first exchange (probably etherdelta i assume) that lists it. This to me is likely to happen because:
a) from the seller's perspective: there is no perceived immediate utilitarian value attached to a token because, as i understand it and correct me if i'm wrong, selling a token you receive initially (before the TimeMint starts mining) doesn't influence the TimeMint's original ETH based minting capacity.
b) from the buyer's perspective: the most DAY token 'inflation' will happen in the first ChronoEra (first 88 days), so the knowledgeable potential buyers know this and they might just wait until a reasonable percentage of the maximum circulating supply is reached, which is not until, let's say, the 3rd or 4th ChronoEra. Plus the utility for the early buyer isn't there since they don't own a TimeMint and there is no other time based instrument yet that uses the token.
Or do you think these potential effects will cancel each other out and all the TimeMint owners understand that this probably a long hold if they want to see a return on their ETH?
Thanks in advance for any constructive answers and/or explanations, i appreciate it!
