I assume "visually impaired" was a little jab at me, well, I must be really blind, because having read the blog posts it's still unclear to me how many tokens were sold and how much money was raised.

https://www.red-lang.org/2018/01/red-here-we-go.html shows the complete breakdown of token distribution, and is where the data is pulled from in the above script demo.

In a very real sense, we can't think of "money raised" in terms of a country's legal tender (what cryptos call 'fiat currency'). Remember, cryptocurrencies have no jurisdiction. You can see how much ETH was raised, but what that really tells you, we hope, is how much investment interest there was, based on the technology backing the project.

Even title of this [1] blog post didn't ring a bell? It doesn't make much sense to cash out raised ETH now, because of the bear market.

The post was about Android support. Why do you care how much the ICO did or didn't make?

Let's say it made money/ETH--and even if a program in the language can print out a message saying it did. What does this have to do with your assessment of the technology, or its completeness or incompleteness?
