* @title RefundableCrowdsale
|
||||
* @dev Extension of Crowdsale contract that adds a funding goal, and
|
||||
* the possibility of users getting a refund if goal is not met.
|
||||
* WARNING: note that if you allow tokens to be traded before the goal
|
||||
* is met, then an attack is possible in which the attacker purchases
|
||||
* tokens from the crowdsale and when they sees that the goal is
|
||||
* unlikely to be met, they sell their tokens (possibly at a discount).
|
||||
* The attacker will be refunded when the crowdsale is finalized, and
|
||||
* the users that purchased from them will be left with worthless
|
||||
* tokens. There are many possible ways to avoid this, like making the
|
||||
* the crowdsale inherit from PostDeliveryCrowdsale, or imposing
|
||||
* restrictions on token trading until the crowdsale is finalized.
|
||||
* This is being discussed in
|
||||
* https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-solidity/issues/877
|
||||
* This contract will be updated when we agree on a general solution
|
||||
* for this problem.
