A continuous fund raise would look like mining—as you provide value to network, it funds you. Problem w/ ICO is they want more money faster.
Replying to @socrates1024, @TuurDemeester and @valkenburgh
That is more a regulatory hack. The presumption is that if a token is useful, then it may not be a security.

I do want to figure out how to fund the support of a commons. Pay as you go doesn’t incentive investment before network effect kicks in.
