I'm probably the only one, but my vote is to start the clock now for calculating returns for the investors. My thinking is this...if the clock starts now, as people learn about the coin this can be explained as a tangible benefit. Otherwise, they may just feel it's an empty promise like so many other coins make.
I'm actually of the same thought.
One of the best aspect of this whole thing was the product was already there, working, and everything has been swift post the ICO, so I vote for getting the ball rolling immediately.
Regardless, happy either way
Incase you missed it, the reason he is asking this.
The 30% profit is for only one payout and it will reduce 33% fot 2 times after that.
This means when they start the clock now, the current low volume will all be a part of the 30% payment. Making it small (since the UI is not ideal and there is no advertising done yet).
So to make it simple. DO you wish a 30% payment from a larger amount or from a lower amount.
(I did not invest) But the sensible thing seems to wait a bit till volume increases. You got plenty of time anyway as 1st payment will come after 3 months anyway so get cosy, plenty of time to go no matter how you look at it.
