If they were working on it, though, one would think they'd be delivering updates to show their progress.

  As someone who has actually worked on such things, you'd expect updates to drop off to a trickle on an actually productive engineering project. At least compared to the pre-ICO hype. A few regular blog posts every other week, vs. a constant storm of promotional material and hype.

    I've actually worked on such things, too, and in my experience, "I'm too busy programming to let you know my company is still around" isn't a particularly good excuse even at tiny two- and three-person shops. When I've seen that happen at cottage software companies in the past, it has never been a sign of health: more often than not, when they finally communicate again, it's to tell us that they're closing shop. And more to the point, tiny two- and three-person shops probably aren't doing ICOs. If your company is big enough to undertake a public offering of any kind, it's damn well big enough to have someone on staff whose responsibilities explicitly include some kind of community relations work.

      That's misrepresenting what I said... the amount of communication pre-ICO will be a lot more than post-ICO, but not nothing.
