1/ Info on @dfinity token distribution in this thread but first - any project claiming moral high ground over centralised projects needs to be transparent, open and available in their communication. Dfinity have consistently failed in this respect and still don't understand this

2/ Pointing to a token distribution table is not full transparency. Setting 4 year vesting periods and (bad) kyc at the very last moment is not full disclosure. No need for the lack of prior warning and waiting for KYC. Poor optics considering dfn are selling tokens themselves

3/ Although the tech may be great, confidence in the team to ethically and clearly communicate is not. @dfinity and @dominic_w need to realign themselves and understand that community, funder and dev 2-way communication must be a vastly higher priority than before

4/ Unconfirmed details:

Early Cont: 2 year (?) 9.5%
Seed: 4 year 24.72%
Strategic 1: 3 year 7%
Presale: 3 year 4.96%
Strategic 2: 1 year 3.79%
Airdrop: 1 year 0.8%
ICA: (?) 4.26%
Team Members: 2 year (?) 18%
Advisors: Unknown 2.4%
Dfn/market making: (?) 23.85%

ICA and Dfinity have been selling tokens into the open market for fund raising and market making purposes. Airdroppers too. Unknown about anyone else but seed/pre-sale have no access yet.

6/ Notes: Small number of exceptions to the above table. Unclear how much the ICA and Foundation have sold, are liquid, or locked up. Early contributor/team member get confused so I don't know if correct. Vesting is min period since neurons must be dissolved before timer starts.

7/ @dfinity need to release a correct table version of my tweet and with hard numbers. Not to have done so already is not being transparent. Transparency comes from full disclosure, not only the bits you want to share.

8/ On behalf of seed/pre-salers: The kyc is clear as mud. Most of us have heard nothing back at all. The token instructions were (are) broken in multiple ways and hard to use.

Worst of all, the usage and security implications are impractical and potentially dangerous

9/ We ask that @dfinity make this a top priority to deal with because putting at risk and annoying the very people who funded the early project, on top of the 4 year vesting schedule and kyc sprung on us at the last moment, is something that should never have happened.

10/ The grass roots devs have been good at dealing with things so far and I hope they're fully supported going forwards. They need top be empowered and supported by those at the top. Communication has always been dfinity's problem.

It's time to fix it.

11/ Almost all of this could have been avoided by simply writing one short and succinct medium post in the last few weeks. I have to ask why this didn't happen; why was someone not made responsible for communicating token release schedules and technical support?
