It's bad that you did not sell part of the fund on ico. All the same, without a lot of money and advertising, any such project will simply not grow. How many people do you have in the community? 10-20?
This is not enough to rise. And ico is made to make a large community that is interested in the success of the project.
From my perspective money isn't everything ... promotional skills are more important and the potential reach figures from those promotional skills are even more so ...
If you are digging for numbers then from just one tweet on 1 account alone ... the potential reach is in excess of 100K and we have more accounts than we can shake a stick at ... and that is 1 platform alone, so again I re-iterate it is NOT all about money ...
You also asked how many people in the community, if I showed you my entire list, I would probably have to shoot someone ... and again, you are seeing community from a different perspective than I ... not all community wish to 'make money quick' ... we are also not in that category, we want to perform to the best of our abilities to bring, to some communities, fresh water or sustainable electricity etc ... and again, I see community differently to most ...
If people wish to come along and support the project with whatever they have, then we applaud them, if they do not, the project does not fail, it continues in ways that others do not see. We 'giveaway' more tools, resources, infrastructure than most will ever see, but we do want to give back to the cryptocurrency community at large for assisting us to our final destination.
This is why we followed the 'masternode' route so that we can give a little extra back to those less fortunate than others that cannot afford to buy expensive mining equipment or the costs in running them.
This oratory speech is pretty much endless, but I implore people to 'think outside the box' ... there are always other ways to do things than the convention ...
