We are Pure Air Industries and we are very excited about the announcement we’re going to make:

A coin (and DAPP) to combat air pollution in this world, starting in cities.

The platform that’s going to do that is named AirBastion. There, every transaction will help bring us (as a society) closer to air pollution eradication.

We have been a year working on the units for the city. From almost the beginning we knew there is not going to be done just by our governments, mayors or city councils. We knew there is a need to involve big corporations, medium and small businesses and also citizens.

And you, as a citizen, will become now a centerpiece of this puzzle.

We all pollute - and that’s okay - we just need a big sewage-like system that cleans after our mess. And that’s what we are doing.

You can follow everything we do in our channels. We are going to do a pre-ICO very soon and we need all the help possible to make this happen.  All the details of how many tokens we're creating and why, fund allocation and so on are going to be on the ICO website shortly.

Also, the v. 0.0.1 of our white paper can be found on the ICO website as well as the development schedule.


If you want to know more you will be able to read our full announcement in our channels, in our medium blog or in almost every other channel in the following days  :)







What's remaining is a

[CALL FOR HELP]
We're looking for:
- Advisors (any of the following hardware, software, previously run ICO, well-known in the industry),
- ICO Bounty Campaign Manager,
- PR people to get the word out, and
- Bitcointalk users to help translate the web page/docs, write posts and help to promote the pre-ICO and ICO (with token rewards).

Also, we are looking for a good law firm or independent lawyer in Gibraltar or Switzerland who's interested to work for tokens. To help us with the incorporation and structure, so we can also accept US investors.



*Pre-ICO money will be used to prepare the ICO and to finish the patents so we can show the units for the main ICO.

It feels like the only thing you have thought about here is collecting money :(
-No team info
-No coin info (is it a coin? a token?)
-Nothing but "collect money for X idea/save the world" plans, same old

Ya, right.   NEXT! lol

Hi, Team!
Will you provide Bounty campaign and do you need Russian translation of your papers?

Thank you for commenting CjMapope.

Sorry, it comes through that way.

This is just a short announcement and a longer one will follow in our channels this week with more information. All the information you requested is on the website and whitepaper. This is not a regular pre-ICO/ICO thread where we will detail every single aspect of it. (yes, it's a coin).

This is not about collecting money, either. Just wanted a short announcement to create awareness. It was a short, simple, 'hey, we're here, we like this community, and we do this'.


Still - very (heartfeltly) sorry  it came through that way.

It looks like you aee doing it for good will of the environment.
May I ask what is your affiliation with the project?
Investors would not trust something that just pops up. Maybe you should introduce yourself too.

Doesn't provide a whole lot of information even about the idea or the technology. You mention Patents in your post above but the website does not have any information on that either.

Idea is good but what about the execution? Team? Tech?

It might look good providing half-baked information and asking for feedback or help but doesnt provide confidence to investors. Better wait for a week or two, complete the documentation and then come to the community.

Also no information on how the tokens or coins would be used?

What is the user value? How will the coins appreciate in value? Which platform is it based on?

I think community members is really very gentle and polite,
I also think some criticisms can Help you perfect your project.

good luck with you project.

Hi Ogrudko, we will provide a Bounty campaign shortly (that's why we are looking for the bounty campaign manager) - and indeed we need a Russian translation of the papers - would you like to reserve it?

Yes, if you can confirm my request than I will start translation right now (cause I'me free right now but cannot promise this in a few days).

You can check my previous works:

Thank you very much for the feedback Dart18, I really appreciate it.  


I don't know how to explain who I'm so I'm going to start with coordinates, stuff I do and studied and a basic profiling - hope that's useful.

My name is Isaac Ramonet and I'm the founder. Sure, I live in London now, previously in San Fran and originally from nearby Barcelona. I do software development Full-stack and mobile (iOS), studied Psychology and have been forever creating physical stuff (from which I have different intellectual property). So in a few words: I'm just a guy working to make this world a better place through 1) hardware and physical stuff, 2) software and 3) psychology. And using the form of a company/companies to make this possible :)

Your Telegram channel doesn't allow to write there, please consider settings or create new one.

I really like the idea of this project about the eradication of air pollution that is needed in today's environment, especially big cities, and of course such a concept needs a mature planning because of course it should work with the local government
may i know about the roadmap? it is urgently needed the investor to really understand the next plan of this project, thank you and good luck

Thanks for the comment Rohitm, I appreciate it. So let me explain,

I'm fully aware we don't provide too much information on the idea or technology. The idea though was to do a short announcement, followed by a longer announcement this week. Still not on a pre-ICO format, because it's not yet there. Sorry to leave that much information out but that's how we orchestrated it.

I do mention Patents, the patents and the units are tied together and can't be shown publicly until a global patent application hasn't been processed. I know this might draw people back for a while but please bear with me as we move this forward.

Hopefully, we will be able to provide that information soon. However, we can't be too careful especially at the point we are now.

When you ask about the execution what are you talking about specifically? Because there are two different metrics depending on what we contemplate; hardware or software.  "Execution on the software side is easier than the execution on the hardware side." That's difficult to discuss, especially for a complex hardware product. If you ask more specifically I will be able to give you a better response :)
The team is on the whitepaper, most of it is hardware-electronics related, specific tech (as well as more information on all the other stuff) is going to be there soon.

Thanks for the last bit as well :)

A very good idea. Concern for the environment that we must realize together. A realistic ico project and must be supported by everyone to create pure air.

are you sponsored by Al Gore?

Good project. I'll Be Watching  ;)

It is not a professional way for collecting money, lol

Thanks for commenting lanmao.

I do think the same, they are very gentle and polite. I would probably say a percentage of 9x% of the active members are that way.

I do want criticism but constructive, like "oh nice, but I would prefer to see this and that" or "there is a lack of information around y". Cool! That rocks. I just wanted to discourage the small percentage of members I've seen on other posts doing the typical "this sucks and you suck and such" because that is not adding value to anyone.


Thanks for the luck :D

Thank you very much for the encouraging words :D

You're 100% right. These kinds of projects need a very mature plan and working very closely with city councils and Mayors. We have been at it for the last 6 months but it's still long until we can achieve full collaboration.  Governments move slowly, and they want all the figures upfront with as close to 100% certainty as possible before moving on to a decision phase.

Let me get into a little bit of detail on how we generate the data.

So one of the reasons we will provide accurate proof of work of the units is because each of them senses the air composition on the beginning and then again at the end, just after the air has been cleaned. The difference in this data (acknowledging and adding the error/variance) will be the difference we create on the air quality and composition and any reduction will be 'validated'. This increases in accuracy (at scale) because it's a system of units recalibration of sensors usually with lab testing facilities but that goes for another talk.

This data then needs to be contrasted periodically with an independent audit. That will show your numbers are solid.

However, to do so the initial stages are to produce the machines and emplace them on the street - so we can test them and gather such data. At least for a small test.

This is mission critic for us, as is the blockchain part of it beacause of validity. So our next steps are to finish building a prototype unit to be presented to them. They have been exposed to the idea and model but until we don't have something working in front of them, it's going to be very difficult to move forward. But as I said, I'm engaged with some bodies of the city government and will try to keep pushing for them to give us a yes as soon as possible. This side needs an injection of cash (apart from my own) that I'm trying to get by applying for grants, private capital and working with some private companies in the sector.

The system that's gathering the data and our servers are pretty much done for v.1. The DAPP Air Bastion, which plays another critical role is being developed at the moment and it's not yet operating.

So roadmap for the short term is (graphically) || I hope you appreciate the concurrent requests

Also, you can see our roadmap in our ICO page (www.pureairindustries.com/ico.html) and also there is a Trello board where we update our roadmap (https://trello.com/b/xlIevqQf/pureair-roadmap) that needs an update shortly.

Sorry if it was a little bit long - but hope it helps :)

Thank you very much bezzler for the kind words :)

Will provide updates soon

Not to my knowledge. Should I?

will you actually use the fund you raised or the value generated by this coin for air pollution issues and environment protection? what's the specific plan?

Thank you :D Glad you watch it!

Looks like a nice project, and I hope you will succeed.
Just for info - PAC and the name Paccoin is already used on several exchanges.
Check out PAC on coinmarketcap or cryptocompare.
Good luck!

You're 100% right, it's not. We just wanted to do an informal announcement and engage with people, the goal of this post is not to ask for money - we ask for help in it though. 

It's not always possible to please everyone, but I'm sorry you don't like the way we do things :(

The project itself is not bad, the team is also good, you can look again.
 I'm Xiao Bai, but it's not enough to understand the project,
 but I will pay attention to the development of the project.

Than you very much for the comment georgehuang. Please look at the response I gave here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2304490.msg23423960#msg23423960

Hope that brings some light to the question :)

Thank you very much for the questions, ifyousmell.

The funds raised are going to go toward 1)the DAPP company (Air Bastion). This company is in charge of creating the DAPP and needs some funds to do so (more developers are going to be hired).

Also, some funds are going to be used to increase the generation of value from the DAPP itself. The goal of the DAPP is to promote and achieve a standard of air quality difficult to do by any other means that a large scale operation.

To do so, this company will sponsor the 2) R&D and development of the units with part of the funds and with future funds collected from the Air Bastion regular activities. The operability of this machines reduce air pollution in the most polluted parts of the cities:

1) Hospitals, schools, and elderly care homes (where our most delicate people spend most of their time).
2) Alongside busy roads - where most of the pollution is generated.
3) We have a couple of options here - but it's probably going to be guided by where the most pollution comes from at that point and if possible will be community voted.

More detailed, clearer and visual explanation of fund allocation and token allocation are going to be on our website this week too with a logic relationship of how all these components are tied together

Short-term roadmap of next steps can be seen in reply #22 in this thread.

Hope it makes sense :)

Thank you for your comment thegrey!

Ouch! The ones we were looking to didn't have any PAC coin :(, just looked those ones up. Thank you very much for the information and for wishing us well :)

Thank you very much for the comment Xiai Bai :) We'll be posting a more detailed explanation this week on our channels and probably on a new thread as well

The updated we promised with an overview and a description of the team :)


[STATE]
Most people will automatically think: Why should anybody care about air pollution?
And they might be right to think so - they just don't know the numbers. Every year 7 million people die of air pollution. And in words of the World Health Organization, 2014:
In new estimates released today, WHO reports that in 2012 around 7 million people died - one in eight of total global deaths – as a result of air pollution exposure. This finding more than doubles previous estimates and confirms that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk. Reducing air pollution could save millions of lives.
And in a new update this year they found out the number is closer to 12.6 million than to 7.

[WHY do we exist]
First, because of what we just exposed.
Second, we exist because we want to achieve a bigger purpose - which is to clean the pollution we have in the air. And we want to do that for every city of this world.
And to do so, we need your help. And we need to involve everyone in the process.
We need to involve citizens - as they are the heart and soul of the cities. They have the more power than they thought and it resides on the outnumbering of them. Donations will be a choice for most and most people with a job can afford to give away $1 a month. We need to involve wealthy individuals - so they can give away money taxes will take out of them anyway. We need to involve small companies that need a quick on their advertising. We need to involve corporations, funds, and trusts - so their brand gets tied to the desire of cleaning the air and give them a great ROI.
And the best way to achieve both the purpose and the engagement of the population is to create "something" with that goal in mind. And that something is the:

[AIR BASTION]
The Air Bastion purpose and reason to exist is to clean the air from pollution by involving everyone in the goal.
How it's achieved is by donations to the platform, collaboration, education, sponsorships and a ton of other things.
Donations and sponsorship are then forwarded to Pure Air Industries with whom we are closely related now (we have contracts) in order to do the job. These funds will allow Pure Air Industries to finish, test and deploy the units that clean the air into our streets and start making a real impact.
In the future though, AIR BASTION is going to become a non-profit organization - as no money is made through the platform. And if it's possible, operated independently from Pure Air Industries. So when a corporation/startup is shortlisted to receive the donation is going to be elected by stakeholders and registered in a blockchain.

[TECHNOLOGY STACK]
We use Ethereum for the smart contracts and web3 for the DAPP to talk with it. Our contracts can be found on our Github page. The sponsorship contracts will accept fiat currency, in exchange for tokens. The donation contracts accept fiat and are transformed to ETH and sent to our ETH wallet. These new Token holders can trade with tokens in our platform and do some specific actions.
Inside AIR BASTION anyone can:

(now) Sponsor a machine - and buy advertising with Pure Air Industries through our platform (and just with our token).
Donate a recurrent amount
--> more stuff to come soon

(in the future)
encapsulate our public offering DAPP so governments can use that instead of their own old methods. (same for corporates)


More technical things about the platform and Pure Air Industries' units can be found in the whitepaper

and
(Russian) [TEAM Presentation][/b]
One of the things we were requested the most is the team skills and current work they do. So, here it goes:

http://tinyimg.io/i/o9Xz5Oh.jpg
Isaac Ramonet - Inventor and serial entrepreneur - now doing software development for the last 7 years because he loves it. But his secret passion is to create stuff and to mess with electrical stuff. He’s the one developing the Air Bastion.

http://tinyimg.io/i/zS5qBHL.png
Jamie - Jamie is a brilliant mechanical engineer who works at deadman but has dreams of working in bigger things like cleaning the air from pollution. When he is not doing CAD designs or working in nitrogen technology he is making boat designs or painting.

http://tinyimg.io/i/MZTgHhM.png
Oliver - Oliver is our hands-on electrical engineer. His paper is key on the gathering of data, on the energy getting to each component and to control everything is going fine with the units. But even more importantly, he is the one to blame :)

http://tinyimg.io/i/zW82IvS.png
Adel - was a mechanical engineer turned into an engineer manager for one of the biggest companies in the electrical world. He is in charge of meeting deadlines and to hold our engineers accountable (in a very relaxed manner).

Background references (seriously?) and other kinds of weird stuff is given upon request :)

Hope that has cleared some of the questions - we have also updated our (ICO page)[https://www.pureairindustries.com/ico.html]
// --> stay tuned because shortly we are going to announce the definitive date for the Pre-ICO.

Sweet! This should go a long way in China

Do you have the bounty program?

In a couple of days team will anonunce bounty program as well as official ANN and terms of Crowdsale. Thanks for your attention and stay tuned.

Hi Vallen, Thank you very much for the offering - will PM you today :)
