Then in my opinion you should know better. Your attempt to explain this away with an inaccurate non-explanation is frustrating to say the least.
Any ICP raised in this launch will be under complete control of the priviledged principals specified in the yaml (the ‘Dev Neurons’). You need to do a much better job of doxing them and proving beyond any reasonable doubt that they do not at all belong to you. Even then, a small handul of principals is not enough to escape a reasonable possibility of a clique with highly co-ordinated and aligned incentives that are at odds with investors.
Forgetting about the actual formal distribution for a sec, even if you awarded dev neurons zero tokens and simply participated in the sale, there’s a reasonable chance you could easily give the appearance of decentralisation by participating from multiple wallets (given the extremely low minimum threshold for this launch to pass - 100 ICP).
SNS projects are treated as a showcase of what the IC ecosystem is about. In my opinion it shouldn’t be a vehicle to get maybe-projects off the ground. Most early stage projects will fail. It’s the few that will succeed. Unless we want the list of showcased SNSs to forever be largely a list failures and empty promises, the community needs to start taking these launches seriously.
You need to be able to deliver value straight away and hit the ground running, or you’re not really selling anything to the community but promises. The SNS system has had enough of those.
