Topic: ICOs - which tokenization method is best? What you think? (Read 94 times)

During an ICO the various participants will deposit their donations/purchases in an account. Against that they will receive the coins offered but how and when are the valuations counted is the purpose of the thread:

A. Parity of coins vs USD
A price for the coins and valuation tiers is created.
The calendar or the tiers defines a price of X coins per USD (or X USD per coin).
At the end of the ICO, the total quantity of USD is counted (with the Tiers involved) and the coins bought are created.


B. Parity of coins vs USD with burning
A fixed quantity of coins and valuation tiers is created.
The calendar or the tiers defines a price of X coins per USD (or X USD per coin).
At the end of the ICO, the total quantity of USD is counted (with the Tiers involved) and the coins that are not sold are burnt.

C. Multicurrency -floating.
A fixed quantity of coins and valuation tiers is created.
A parity is given in USD (X coins per USD) but other currencies (BT, ETH, whatever) are accepted at a floating price vs their respective value in USD at their valuation at the end of the ICO.
In other words the quantity of tokens received for somebody who paid in ETH or BTC will only be final at the end of the ICO, depending on the rate vs USD
At the end of the ICO, the total quantity of USD is counted (with the Tiers involved) and the coins that are not sold are burnt or created depending if we follow a model like A or B.

D.  Multicurrency - Set
Same as C but the price is set at the moment in which each investment or donation is done, in other words you take the instant rate when the transaction is received.


E. Dutch Auction
A fixed quantity of coins is created and tier multiples are set.
Investors purchase/donate/invest and the time and tier is recorded.
At the end of the ICO, the whole amount of coins is shared pro-rata (including Tiers).
Each investor will receive the coins pro-rate and the price will be then defined simply by taking all the investments and dividing it by all the coins created.
 

Please share your opinions on what is best in your eyes, what you prefer and, in particular, why!


I am trying to think about the most efficient and clear way to bring value to the process, since many ICOs have different use-cases...
