That is incorrect. I did go to the team within the discord and got generalized whatever replies.

Facts are facts... the original whitepaper says locked up until Dec 2018... so how are they kicking off a ICO for Hashrush in Sept?

Oh that is right they lied and found a way around it.

I understand that maybe you still have faith in the project... and good luck to you. it may very well pan out for you... but based on the business tactic I am seeing.... seems high risk... If anything I would wait for full release to spend a dime. the new road map shows 2019 as full release... so they have plenty of time to devalue this coins with yet another coin offering.

better to wait it out then to fomo on this one.
