This is a second proposal for a topic in the blockchain devroom in the category: "how money and ICOs influence blockchain and FOSS communities."

Title: "Lessons learned from conducting an ICO - and suggestions for the future of crowdfunding in crypto"

Name: Stefaan Ponnet

Abstract:

Having conducted an ICO in late 2016 - just before the hype of 2017 - we will talk about how raising 

money in this market was a rollercoaster for our community and what we've learned from it.

Then we look into suggested alternative models of fundraising in crypto: DAICO's - Refundable ICO's (RICO) 

and our own suggested approach: Meritocratic ICO's (MICO)

Thanks,

Stefaan
