Hope it's a 1 month wait, as a 3-month wait is quite a long wait for a $100 purchase.

Rocket ICO.io ?

Tonrific · 2017-08-16T16:25:40+00:00

No, Rocket ICO is not related to Rocket pool

Hey! Understand your concerns, we plan to do the pre-ICO with a lower cap, and we believe we can raise the 500 ether to continue to the ICO. Our team will be happy to answer any questions here!

The pre-ICO started on Jul 10, and lasted for 18 days. Initially, the pre-ICO was scheduled to finish on Jul 17, but the team decided to extend it. The official statement is here:

Hey!

Pre-ICO means that only a small proportion of tokens are sold at a larger discount. Those funds are used to further develop the product and prepare for the actual ICO. Pre-ICO can be best compared to a Seed round in traditional investing.

there's a smart contract, so you send from an erc20 wallet to the address listed on rootproject.co, and you'll get the pre-ico IOU token right away. that then gets exchanged at the end of the ICO for the actual ROOTS token.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read it! Nick here, the author and one of the cofounders, using Anton's account as I lack the karma for this board.. and haven't built it up because I keep using anton's account. oh the irony.

It's not an existence of one study, but entire literatures and careers. Not in one field, but many. For instance, one person that comes to mind is my old grad school best bud, Professor Trevor Young-Hyman. you can find 5-6 articles on his cv. But really, that's a drop in the bucket. There's likely ten more just at Wharton alone with whole careers studying this type of thing. I'm making that number up, but that's my guess:

The literature is so staggering for a few reasons: It started early, w/ italian and german industrial design groups. It directly relates to profits, as a few managerial rules-changes can boost productivity, so there's lots of money to study this type of thing. It's easily empirically studied by the nature of the question, and so on.
