It's actually a game or sorts. I think I've misjudged the content of the website.
You kind of have to read the code to understand what is happening, but it's actually the users that can take part in the hack, there are several steps to a back door that will allow players who participate in the ICO to 'hack' it and withdraw the funds.
The first clue to the hack is on the website, the plan was to reveal the rest over time.
In my own head I thought I had put the right level of clues to have people make the jump and see what was happening, without being too obvious on how to do it. I think I've made it too confusing though from the comments I'm getting it, and most people are just taking it at face value and seeing it as a scam. Which I guess is kind of the point. Most participants would lose their contribution, but some could also take out more.
I might rework the website to explain it better and try again.
I don't know I think the original was a valuable mirror for what happens in reality. A thousand followers that don't know whats going on along for the ride and few people who look at the code trying to find an edge.
