Bancor Network Token (BNT) Contribution

Very interesting and promising project. The most awaited ICO this year.
Terms Summary:
50/20/20/10 Token Distribution: 50% of BNT will be issued to the contributors in the fundraiser, 20% allocated to partnerships, community grants and public bounties, 20% to the Foundation’s long-term operating budget, 10% to founders, team members, advisors and early contributors. Founders and team contributors will be subject to a three year vesting schedule.
Fixed Price: 0.01 ETH per 1 BNT (i.e. 100 BNT per 1 ETH)
Hidden ETH Cap: revealed if 80% of the cap is reached.
Duration: The fundraiser will run for 14 days or until the hidden cap is reached, with a 1 hour minimum time.
Token Availability: BNT for ETH contributions will be distributed immediately. The ability to transfer, purchase and liquidate BNT through the smart token’s contract will be enabled gradually during a time span estimated at 7 days following the fundraiser closing.
Security: Funds will be held using multi-sig wallets according to industry best practices.

Minimum Time
Some concerns were raised by the community that “whales” might “eat up” the entire initial supply of BNT, leaving the small contributors behind. Like many of you, we’ve been watching how different fundraiser models have played out. We believe this exploration is healthy for establishing tested best practices in the industry, and want to make our small contribution to it. Since at its core, Bancor is about democratizing value creation and exchange, we want to make sure everyone who wants to participate has a chance to do so. For this reason, we’ve decided to allow a short, “minimum time” — 1 hour — during which all contributions will be accepted regardless of the cap. After the first hour, the fundraiser will have a hidden cap that will be revealed only if the collected ETH reaches 80% of the limit. If funds collected in the first hour reach or exceed the cap, the fundraiser will end immediately thereafter.

Thanks for this great info @tsyhan :)

Solid blog. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. No matter how populair a coin is. People should always do a proper background check.
