There is no code. This is a cash grab. The author politely states they needed review of white paper concepts, so no they are not sure it will even be worth writing. The idealology of decentralization also reforms the patent system, so this project will fall like other over hyped icos, will get normalized on listing. Probably a huge discount for "seed".

Yet... there has been no monetizaton mechanism described that doesn't involve us releasing code, as we have been very clear that we refuse to do a token sale until such time as we have a fully working system. So, I am not sure how your theory works out here, but it will be interesting to see if you comment back here once we release code for you to actually run.

As for why we want whitepaper feedback: that is because we believe in peer review of design.
