JUST stop it. 62 BCT accounts (not even proven to be investors) does not equate the investors clearly stating anything other than they did not want to participate or they were unaware.
There were actually 93 votes, and while I agree that it was far from ideal, together with the poll thread posts it still represented that most received the early-trade idea positively.
If the situation was otherwise (as with total cap opinion for example), we would never had proceeded with this scenario.
The poll was meaningless, so not sure why it's even brought up at all. For any IPO coin that sells out, if offered a poll, will invariably have lots of people voting for an early sale. Just the way it is ... and most voting don't own the coin, missed out on the IPO and are hoping for a cheap price before the the regular sale even starts. Of course there are those who gambled their rent money on an IPO and want to dump as soon as possible, so they too may vote for an early sale. Either way, the poll's results were pretty much a given before a single person voted.
The early sale was done, so we will just have to live with it. Breaking the rules of the IPO may not look so great, and for precisely the reason that BEECoinFan mentioned. Those over the cap and with a chance of still getting IPO coins then had no chance whatsoever.
If the team still wanted to do an early presale, they should have used some of their own crypti and sold them to all over-the-cap people, so everyone would have been happy.
I voted no for trading pre-launch but I don't see allowing trading is such a big deal. If the team has no obligation with those over the cap. They come late when the theater is full so what do they expect ? those people can only getting in if someone chooses to refund and it is very unlikely given how hot the IPO was.
Late comers can buy a pretty good deal now which is just 50% above IPO price. In other scenario, if there is no pre-launch trading, the fund would be held up until launch with a small possibility of getting IPO price. But if those late comer don't get IPO price because there is no refund, they likely won't be able to get in at this price currently. More likely 3 or 4 time more expensive. It is much better to be able to buy now for these later comer imho.
