Don't you think your relationship with said "customer" is going to be too cozy and hence not "real"? Why don't you randomly offer half a months rebate to some percentage of your customers last month? (Also thos

I fail to see the value of "legit ico" vs. stocks.. The only real difference is the lack of oversight and "common rules" - both of which I value when I invest my own money... Stock (or bonds for that matter) have a long
