Telegram TOn ( Gram TOken) which raised huge amount in ICO as far i knew they raised 850 million in first round agian in second round also same even after this much fund raise . I don't see any progress . This kind of ICO's really ruining crypto funds . People are loosing belief on Crypto Currency . 

Not sure if it's legit but:
Gram Token Telegram ICO cancelled! Do NOT send any ETH/BTC to anyone
Refunds (only ico-telegram.org) issued: 98.69%
Cancelled due to the market crash and legal reasons.
https://ico-telegram.org/

Is this ICO is true because none of the telegram users got such notification stating they are launching tokens. At least the crypto users like us should receive the notification right.
I didn't not find the telegram ICO token sale link so far. I see one person shared the link but still not sure whether it legit or not.

I have been asking myself the same rhetorical question about what happened to Ton Telegram ico which creates lots of hype back then and just vanished into the thin air.  I was beginning to think that the ico was not real in any way and the news around it was all fake

Thanks a lot I didn’t know about this as I got the answer as it will be useful for community .

As for this project, I heard that it is developing and a platform release is already planned. as I know it will be a very large ecosystem so it takes a long time to create

AFAIK, they had a private ICO where selected private investors made investment on the token while they haven't come up with public offering as of yet.
As the token is still not implemented on the telegram app and no news about it, it could have been cancelled and the funds returned to the private investors privately. Still we'd be loving social app like Telegram issuing a token through ICO.

Telegram had already planned to launch the TON network in Q3 of 2019 which is July - September 2019.
It has already launched a private ICO and had collected around $1.7 billion. The news has been published on cointelegraph .

Crash? Really? They are calling the upward movement of bitcoin and other markets crash? Do they lost their mind?

Let's say that we had a crash in the market. I don't know why this is the common reason for canceled ICO. Like, they can continue their ICO and delay the listing. It is just that simple.

I don't know why, but my metamask detected that what you gave was a phishing link ???

The information I have regarding the telegram ico was that it would occur in the third quarter of 2019.Am in shock when I opened this post to discover a telegram ico has been held already.. I actually doubt the one held already is legitimate.

As far as I know, there was no ICO at all. Private funds and investors invested large sums in Telegram. And this project did not affect the cryptocurrency market at all. But when they show the development I think will greatly affect.

The TON Ico is the best example of irresponsible, stupid, greedy, speculative "investing".
First off, 850 million dollars?
That is so off the charts ridiculous.
Why on earth would any company ever need that much money?
On top fo that, even if they did (which they don't), they can't make any other revenue?
That's just incompetent.

And then those investing in it, that is just stupid.
It's peopel who see nothing but $$$ and don't even take the time to realize it is a bubble and not sustainable.

This overall greedy, irresponsible investing is what led to our all time high in crypto.
But, it also led to its crash.

As others have stated, I believe it was a private sale, not a public ICO.

And they plan to launch in the 3rd quarter of this year. So no, it wasn't cancelled
due to btc's price or any other issues. It simply was never available to public to begin with.

Give Pavel Durov time. He always created top products. And this one will be no exception! A very large team of professionals is needed to push a good product to the global market.

Did this really happened ? Would have love if a link was attached to check the genuiness. If it’s true , then it’s one of the experiences we can have in cryptocurrency.

Are you really sure it raised as much fund as that? There were some projects who lied about the amount raised mainly because they wanted to attract investors. Such projects at the end will not br able to meet up to expectation, which invariable means zero success.
Most of these so called projects end up as scam and abscond with investors' money.

I think it's not the right time, yet. Yes, the telegram received a lot of money from private investors, and I think their still working and developing that blockchain currently. When telegram network starts up, it will become a catalyst for the cryptoindustry as a whole. I think Gram will be the only competitor of the Ethereum network in the future.

I didn't hear about them, but from the reply I can see here, I can tell 100% that this guys are big scammers, and I don't think they actually raised that amount of money, all they did was to create an hype for themselves so that they can get more investors to give them more money, this is how it actually worked, you don't want to invest any money in their project, but once you see that they have already raise $400m, you might change your mind to make investment since you don't want to miss out from what might become of the project.

Are you sure that they raised $850 million in their ICO ? What will they doing with that such amount of money.
I hope that amount is not some fabricated raised amount to attract more investors into the trap.
The more some project raised the funds, the more suspicious for me.

I'm also interested in this billion-dollar ICO and saw this news on Cryptoglobe: https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/05/telegram-open-network-reportedly-set-to-launch-in-q3-2019/. According to the source, Telegram network will be opened on Q3 2019. A bit late but at least we know that it's not a dead project.

If this is a bad capital call, I believe that the value of altcoins and even bitcoin is greatly reduced. Because when investors are held in capital, they will find ways to sell the coins to invest in another field or the project owner will sell the coins to do something different from the project plan.
In the crypto market, businesses that hold too much money will often cause bad things or will make the market grow strongly.
Anyway, wait for new news from TON.

ATTENTION!

Japanese Liquid crypto currency exchange has announced the public sale of tokens Gram from Telegram. Now Gram token will go on sale to regular crypto buyers for the first time next month through a listing on crypto exchange Liquid on July 10.
I have already prepared for this event. For interested parties I publish a link to the Liquid exchange: https://app.liquid.com/markets (https://www.liquid.com?affiliate=4JhuN2F5635697)

You need to have a verified account to receive your Gram tokens!

Well, though Liquid is a good Japanese exchange but Gram Asia is a third party unit, separating from Telegram. Until there's an official announcement from Telegram about Gram Asia's token legality, I will skip this ICO.
Update: Telegram denies relationship with Gram Asia: https://www.coinspeaker.com/telegram-gram-asia-token-sale-bluff/. Liquid, what are you doing?

I have heard that Liquid will held Telegram TON IEO! Buy liquid tokens (qash) to get some quick profit. I think that people will buying qash to buy ton on this exchange and this will pump the price.

This is a good strategy, but you must show evidence of the rumors that you are talking about. otherwise, it is not advisable to buy this coin.

I kept asking myself same question without getting a better answer to to it. Been over 1 year now and never heard anything again after all the hypes around it's release. It just disappeared into the tin air

You can see the proof of this event on the TechCrunch portal: https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/10/telegram-ton-liquid-crypto/
And also on the website of the cryptocurrency exchange Liquid: https://app.liquid.com/markets (https://www.liquid.com?affiliate=4JhuN2F5635697).
I don't think it could be cheating.

Telegram's new blockchain based network is reportedly due to be released in Q3 of this year and it should further the use cases for cryptocurrency as a means of payment within its app and provide developers with an easy to use programming language, yet it still remains to be seen what the exhorbitant funding it acquired will be used for beyond the initial development and marketing of the platform itself

If you will refer to ICOdrops announcement. They said that TON will have another sale on liquid.io I dont thinm this is not legit cause ICOdrops only post credible information regarding  the ICO relatef news. TON will pushed through I think. Hope it will cause they have a good project and everybody knows how efficient telegram in every crypto space and now imagine they will have their own blockchain system.

I wanted to buy these coins, but after reading this article I thought...What do you think to buy or not to buy? https://cointelegraph.com/news/gram-asia-to-sell-gram-tokens-at-three-times-ico-price

I think the project is just in a static phase tight now, I have seen several people trying to sell the tokens on OTC groups but the fact is that there are no buyers interested in even buying them, for such a project with huge potential, this looks really bad.

what a mafia there, almost x 3 from ico price.
just forget people like that.its high risk.


i also wondering about it.
since this project its a one of the top on this year.
why their sell phase like an illusion.

That was such a huge amount, I have not read any ICO that raises that huge amount, the fund is enough to create a lot of or upgrade platforms but why this news is not very popular like all the hype we've experiencing on Libra coin and Electroneum in the past.

This isnt only applicable with this ICO but also into other projects which we do believe a good one.As i read up above that this one doesnt still hit up on exchangers and there were sellers OTC then this is already an early sign on where this coin would go.For someone who tend or plan to buy up this token should have second thoughts,its risky for now.

Are they TON distribution happen?, where people gettin it to sell TON?
Maybe people won't buy it because worry seller will scaming them and i don't thing so they sell really TON token.

Sometimes, the fund raised during the token sale will not guarantee that the project is legit or not, the token is absolutely solid and promising on the exchange or not. Sometimes, the team is preparing and needs more times to list their tokens and other progress. But, when it only goes with stagnant development, I don't think that it can be a good choice for investment. Try to make certain research of their project, both in telegram group and others. Be active to ask the question and search for information on their community channel.

Liquid is an official exchange site that already announced by telegram team to run TON ico and it's not a scam. About ETA when ton will be traded and it can't be determined at least not yet.

At a point, it was stopped. Made some research and they refunded all the investors but now they are back at it again but not with any token sales as it launched directly to an exchange and kinda of trading or something

There was an ICO on Liquid exchange, but it was a pretty strange one. Telegram team has said that they never heard of an upcoming tokensale for regular investors, so it was an obvious scam. You can trade Telegram futures on Bitforex exchange and as far as I know they are doing really great.

I have yet to see any official news regarding this and Telegram has not confirmed it yet so it is definitely an IEO scam project and can completely cause you to lose a great deal if you don't consider it carefully. During the past 1 year, TON has not had much prominence in this market and surely TON will never be officially launched so don't expect too much about this IEO project.

Perhaps they want to be well prepared for the release, not to produce a crude product, and are aimed not only at the crypto community, but also at all people.

It is still just worked on, that is of course a sad thing considering many people funded considering it would be a great idea and will be used easily and the price would go up but unfortunately they were probably not ready for such a big funding and now they are still trying to achieve what they are paid for and that is not an easy task.

Developers will know this but not many other people will know that when you go into development stage it takes YEARS before you have a bug free system, of course it could take 1 month to build what you want to be built but then you have to perfect it, everyone in the business knows that 90% of the job takes 10% of the time and 10% of the job takes 90% of the time. So, we are just going to let them finish their job and when it is done we can consider if they did a good job or not, if we do not like it as a collective the price will fall if not then it will go up.

You can actually make price prediction according to how much you liked it :D.

Funny enough telegram denied claims of raising funds on TON ICO, so it's confusing till date. TON ICO went viral but nobody can ascertain the legit information with regards this. Telegram enacted a blockchain but I doubt if they are behind TON ICO.

It takes a time. And finally you can see that they launched IEO on Liquid exchange.  8)
Token sales could take a year, in the meantime they are programming their blockchain.

I think soon will be the launch of the network , but I'm not really hoping for this project , I think it would be very much overrated when released , it is better to refrain from this investment.

Fake ICOs are everywhere and they use google ads for spreading the virus. The sky is limit for these scammers and they have no limit for stop scamming other people. New investors usually can't choose which project is legit and which ones are a fake project that created for the transferring ETH from the victim.

don't blame cryptocurrency, blame trustworthy people on projects that aren't clear,
I never even believed in ICO, if something was clearer and more valuable, why would I choose what was unclear about the future.
I hope that many will begin to realize this.

Why would I also blame trustworthy people, if the people behind a project are trustworthy, then we expect them to deliver something of great quality and free of scam, those you can typically blame are untrustworthy people, and they are the scammer that has turned ICO into something that is looking so evil to everyone.

The purpose of ICo has been defeated and I don’t know exactly what can bring this purpose back. The project the OP even mentioned, I doubt if it is the proper telegram that actually raised such amount of money, and that money is then too much for any project, what is telegram establishing for such huge amount of money,. I am typically sure that the project was never from telegram, which I expected telegram to have even come to defend.

/\TON test net up?

There were rumors that Telegram is finally launching a public ICO officially but again with the warning fro SEC, they have put a hold on the date of issuance of the ICO as they believe  they might actually get a permission to operate their fundraising in US. Though things could be different. The private investors are getting insecure while there are no visible development on the TON project.

Nothing, everything is going well. They have faced some difficulties with SEC and postponed their network launch until May 2020. This will give them time to deliver promises and it would happen shortly after BTC halving, so seems like it would be a good run.
