Filecoin did their ICO by the book. The biggest constraint is that the purchasers need to be accredited investors.

Thanks! I will see if I can find some stuff to read about them later. I want to see how hard it was, the process, etc...

I believe they changed some VC funding rules, not that long ago. I'm not sure if the apply in these types of cases, but I think 'regular' people are now allowed to invest, but only a small amount. I seem to recall it was $2000/year.

It's not much, but it is a start? I didn't pay much attention to it, so I don't remember all the details. Sorry, I don't even remember the name of it so that I can dig out some info. I noticed it in passing. I'm not into the VC game and prefer investing elsewhere. So, I didn't pay much attention to it.

Chances are you know more about it than I do, but there's a link if you don't.
