For those who want the details, please read the Pillar Gray Paper (https://pillarproject.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/PillarProjectGrayPaper.pdf). Here is a short version:

The European Commission’s Fire Study of Next Generation Internet (https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/system/files/ged/the-fire-study-ngi-white-paper-survey-results_01.pdf) recently concluded that ...

    1. Internet should ensure citizens' sovereignty over their own data and protect privacy;

    2. Internet should ensure diversity, pluralism and a right to choose; and

    3. Internet should avoid the concentration of data in a few proprietary platforms.

    4. Personal Data Spaces was seen as a very important technology area for all the above top ranked values.

These are the problems the Pillar project will address. We want to give people a better, safer dashboard to their digital world, starting with an open-source wallet. We have two main objectives:

Replace accounts with atomic ownership. We all have dozens of accounts. With accounts, you log in and all your valuable data is trapped inside the app or the service. This presents huge concentration risk. By switching from accounts to wallets, each person owns his/her own assets and can switch vendors freely.

Replace apps with services. Apps on our phones are miniature desktop apps. This harkens back to the days of paper-based processes, showing once again that humans always adopt the old ways of working to new technology. Now that we all have superconnected computers in our pockets, we believe the personal data locker will replace iOS and Android to become the operating system for all your devices.

The decentralization movement and technologies like blockchain will lead to a fundamental reversal of power, putting people in control of their digital lives.

The Pillar Wallet

Having waited patiently for 15 years, we believe the moment is here now. We will start by building the world’s best cryptocurrency and token wallet. We will focus on the user experience - to make it as easy as possible to set up and use a wallet. There are a few excellent wallets - we have our work cut out for us. But since our target is to build a dashboard for your digital life, our wallet will be different. Our wallet will be mobile first. It will include a browser, and we hope to include one or more exchanges. We want the experience to be as easy as possible. We’ll be targeting specific use cases and personas and working to make their experience as familiar and powerful as possible. Almost everyone is a beginner. Almost everyone finds managing private keys challenging. Almost everyone doesn’t appreciate the complexity behind wallets and exchanges and smart contracts. This is our mission - to simplify, build a strong foundation, and keep adding what our customers want next.


The Pillar Ecosystem

Pillar is far more than a wallet, a browser, and an exchange. Pillar brings to life the concepts in David Siegel’s book, Pull. As David explains, apps are a huge waste of resources and prevent innovation. Apps have to be maintained on half a dozen platforms - more than 50% of every app is just infrastructure related to presenting content and offers. What really matters are content, connections, and commerce, and being able to mix them as you like. The Pillar wallet will let you sort, filter, compare, mix, and match these things to suit your needs. This represents the convergence of the semantic web and the web of value.

As an example, think of attending a conference in a city far away. To do this on your phone you’ll need a dozen apps that don’t talk to each other, and you’ll sign contracts for air, rail, car, hotel, tours, shows, excursions, currency exchange, babysitting, restaurants, conference registration, scheduling, events, meetings, and more. At best, each of these has its own app, and probably its own reward point system. Now try to manage all the expenses and record keeping - more apps. Do the apps talk to each other? In general, they don’t.

The pillar ecosystem will create a new ecosystem of data, content, and commerce. We’re almost there - we have the standards, formats, and APIs to do much of what we want. It’s our job to bring these together to create a customer experience that is many times more compelling than using apps. In general, you’ll ask a question or say what you’re looking for, and the content, data, and transactions will come to you. We believe the wallet will be the center of your digital life, and it will pull everything you want when you want it, in a way that's more natural than apps.


The Personal Data Locker

The concept of the personal data locker (https://medium.com/@pullnews/lets-crowdfix-the-data-problem-permanently-4acfe2c833a9) comes from David's book, Pull. We have seen many such projects come and go. Much of it comes down to trust - people don’t trust institutions, advertisers, or third parties to manage their data. This is why Microsoft and Google projects have failed.

We understand that consumers don’t want to manage their own data. There’s a detailed section of the gray paper that goes into consumer reluctance and how to find our early adopters. Right now, we have a chance - to create the world’s best wallet, integrate it into many systems, and let it lead to the personal assistant that “magically” helps you manage your life. See this early video from 2010 that shows the use cases for the project:


The Pillar Token

While the wallet and platform are open-source and free, users will pay for the various PDL services with pillar tokens as they use them. The token will power (provide micropayments for) the entire ecosystem, giving an instant business model to many projects that can tie in. This is the beauty of the token: you may need a service exactly once and you won’t need to sign up for it, you’ll just pay for it with a Pillar token and you’re done.

Here’s an example: you go see your doctor, she does some tests and gives you a prescription for some pills. All the data from that visit, and the prescription, will be copied to your wallet. You can then manage the prescription any way you like, including asking for bids from pharmacies for the lowest price, or fastest delivery, etc. In this case, pharmacies compete for your order, and their software can be aware what the bid/ask is, and they may give you special offers to choose their service or even pay you to watch an ad for a particular drug. This is all under your control - you decide how you want it, and you pay a small number of pillars each time you use the system for storing your records and letting you manage your relationship with the health-care system. Your data can even go to a study being done - with your permission - and even though you’re anonymous in the study, if they want to send you a message, you’ll have a choice of receiving it or not.

The pillar is a meta-token. For example, Brave has a native token for seeing customized ads and monetizing your browsing experience. Augur has a token for betting. Akasha has one for messaging. You'll encounter dozens or hundreds of tokens as you go about your day. All these tokens will be native in our system one level below the Pillar token. Users may only ever see pillars, or they may see the various utility tokens for the services they use.

Execution Plan

We are market driven. We do experiments and look for opportunities. We pattern our company on Google (except for the interviewing part) - we plan to make a lot of small mistakes and let experiments take us into new markets. The wallet market is heating up. We need the resources to go after several different market segments:
    * Crypto-enthusiasts
    * Early-adopter tech enthusiasts
    * Partners
    * OEMs

We are already strong in business development and will get stronger. Eventually, we want our wallet not to be another app on your phone, but to be the software that runs your phone. We will need partners, industry veterans, strong marketers, excellent communications team, and more.

And we’ll need a great product. We are starting from scratch. We’re planning to hire in August and September, and we want you to be part of it. People who understand our mission and support us by buying our tokens, even if only a few, are the people we want to hire. We already have a strong team of technology people, but we’ll need many more. We expect to start in London and open a second office within six months.

We are very open. We know that people coming to our web site are excellent potential hires, consultants, and partners. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter - we'll soon set up our online community and invite you to join us. And please consider coming to our hiring event in Slovakia (https://pillarproject.io/join-us).

We have laid out our financial plans and forecasts in the Gray Paper. Everything we do will be agile and responsive to our markets as they change. We also will use some of our proceeds to support projects that will later become part of our system.


After the Token sale, we will have a grass-roots unconference at AquaCity in Poprad, Slovakia (http://www.aquacity.sk/?gclid=CI3x4-zYstQCFXIW0wodKgICIg), to socialize, learn, teach, plan, and hire. Anyone who comes to Poprad in early August is probably a person we want to hire. Every morning, we will have blockchain learning and Pillar planning sessions. We will have tracks for central services, communications, product, and marketing. If you are reading this, you are welcome to join us (we're not paying expenses, sorry, but we are paying for the meeting rooms and a big dinner on Friday night).

We will have the following tracks for discussion and hiring:

    1.Product
        1.Frameworks
        2.Methodology
        3.Languages
        4.Tools
        5.Open source

    2.Marketing
        1.Communications
        2.Partnerships
        3.OEMs
        4.Consumer research

    3.Central services
        1.Key management
        2.Asset management
        3.Bookkeeping
        4.Payroll
        5.Accounting
        6.Tax
        7.Facilities
        8.Events
        9.Support
        10.Legal

We are looking for generalists who have certain strong skills and are flexible team players. We will never have an HR department - if you work in central services, you will do everything. Keep in mind our office will be in London. If you want to join us, please come to Poprad and show your commitment to the project!

The event will take place from 29 July to 6 August. Direct flights from London are available. We have reserved 19 rooms, but they are going fast and people are finding roommates. There are also hotel rooms not far away. We’ll be working in the mornings and trying not to work in the afternoons. It’s a family event - bring your kids. To reserve your room, contact Tomer@2030.io. Don’t wait for our Token sale - rooms are going fast. Contact Tomer now to get one.

nice presentations, dev do you have any bounty for the community, are you going to escrow the ico? thaks for all the informations

I think your thread was locked because your signature campaign had a rule to make 1 minimum post in your ANN thread.Giving incentives for posting is against forum rules.

Pillar has held of bounty during ICO, then ICO's over and fnished now. you missed about it.

Almost all signature campaigns have the same rules, minimum 1-2 posts/week in Ann thread. Also the signature campaign is over now. I think it has nothing to do with that.

Edited

Also "Giving incentives for posting is against forum rules." is a nonsense   ;)

Will this project be listed in any exchange? Which are ? And are you planning to make the wallet available when?

well its needed for dev to recreate another thread because every campaign which required one post from ann page was been deleted by the mods, glad
that the team complied and made this one for people around to continue supporting the project, going to look for brighter side and success coming from the
team good luck.

This project been listed to market (EtherDelta and HitBTC) With volumes $80K (24 Hours).
Here for link both:
https://etherdelta.github.io/#PLR-ETH
https://hitbtc.com/exchange/PLR-to-ETH
Wallet will be very soon. Then wallet will be released mobile first.

Are you planning to get listed on a larger exchange?

Will mobile wallet be available in both Android and IOS versions at launch?

Is not this project a huge success? But why only in hitbtc and etherdelta? Whether it will be in a big exchange like bittrex or something else

Anyway, I think this is an interesting project and I will keep an eye on it.Simple and easy to use products can quickly raise people's awareness and spread the development rapidly.

What about Bounty thread? The Original one was deleted.. is there new one? Have anyone link to new thread or at least google spreadsheet with list of participants and information about stakes?
When bounty will be distributed?

actually for me everything already distributed.
since a few days ago.

for google spread


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M353pTgZP3Ud1YwkH0gN6Ei_VkdRNXkXL6E8EdVe0mM/edit#gid=1087319349
that for twitter
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GNkv69vYFmVmASdW1fpzdL2pUpcXagvB3SFIWm3l-jY/edit#gid=0  
that for signature , i dont have more about newsletter and blog/media

ICO just over. Maybe team has some plans for benefits of ICO investors.

Ico success, but the price below ico, very unreasonable,
It's best to hold this coin, if someday it will be expensive

i believe that
its just beginning about this project.

Managing money is not that easy, they need time to give the lucky investors, if they can not give a profit to investors, why invest?

looking forward to the release of the wallet.

Pillar is a ERC20 token that use Ethereum platform. So, there's no specific wallet for deposit/receive the token. You can use eth wallet instead. Top recommended wallet is myetherwallet.com

maybe u wrong about @minerbro say
i mean maybe he waiting for release the pillar wallet.

More better to buy Pillar tokens now, than participate in ico ;D I hope that having received such a lot of money, developers will soon be able to please investors.

new info


today i see PLR token automaticly seen on MEW
no need add costum token again.

Still no update? Hopefully dev and team will be more active in updating us, please add another exchange we are waiting dev

Regards

personal data is very important, there should be some meas to insure its safe and not be abused, but everything we do on the internet will be recorded and supplied to some big data company to analyze our every action, this is not accepted without our permission

i agree with you, no protecting with our data sovereignty feels me like naked, i dont want myself be analyzed by other people, maybe they just want to push advertisement, but this should be banned

You should follow the PLR on twitter they update a lot of news there. I think the project is growing when Pillar is likely to adopt Blockchain technology in the future and will definitely be listed on Bittrex or Poloniex.

Price has been good for last few days, it was holding strong at 30-35 level
just today, it starts to dipping

is this due to bounty distribution?

actually bounty already distributed since less than 1 week ago
maybe that because PLR already registered to MEW wallet like a another token.(i am not really sure about this)
but , the price also lower than ico price.
whatever price raise , it's not yet up to 0.0004 eth/PLR
remembering the ICO price is 0.0005 eth

Has the bounty campaign been completed by now?

Bounty's over a few weeks ago

However dev is never active, this coin should be able to enter bittrex, I see they have a very large fund at the time of ICO, about 115,000 ETH

Thank you for that links. On https://etherscan.io i can see that i received coins! Thank you Pillar team!

But i have problem.. I used for this campaign desktop Exodus Ethereum wallet, and i can't see this coins in my wallet.. Do anyone know how i can get to this coins?

how the hell u forget about his.
too many people say , just put MEW address .
but i have little solution
first , take private key from exodus , then try login in myetherwallet with your private key , i think this may work.

Hitbtc support only PLR/ETH trading.We need some wallet that support btc too.

As main questions haven't changed much since we had a thread switch, we want to repeat some things already said before.


@naficopa, you can find instructions on how to add PLR to your exodus wallet (http://mailchi.mp/pillarproject.io/live-events-myetherwallet-presale-tokens-exodus-375991) in one of our newsletter's recent issues - be sure to subscribe as it's the fastest (along with Twitter) way of get news from Pillar Project Team!

That's actually bad news then. That is indeed a lot of money. We'll what they make out of it.

Unless I'm confused w/ another Ico, I could've swore that each ETH got you 330 tokens during the first discount ico day.  ???

any update added exchanger dev
another etherdelta and hitbtc

You are probably curious on Pillar's development status - David is updating you talking about our 4 products and our way of shipping them. Straight from Pillar Unconference in Poprad, which whole is dedicated to organizing our work, path to reaching targets along with presenting company's culture.

▶️ 4 products of Pillar Project - Pillar Wallet 0.1, OEM Wallet, Semantic Search & PLR Token (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0IzfPNEaRY)

Be sure to subscribe to our channel and follow us in other socials for the fastest updates!

Thanks for answers guys! I found solution! Here is nice video how to export private key from exodus wallet:
https://vimeo.com/224680994

no updates so far for the exchange aside from that two you mentioned.

As i can see pair for trade is only PLR/ETH, or maybe there is some place where we can find PLR/BTC, or maybe some other pair?

in hitbtc there is  PLR/BTC and eth.. but in etherdelta only eth.. aside from that, no other pairs i think

pillar now trade in cryptopia exchange https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=PLR_BTC congrats

This is a good news for pillar holders since they can actually buy and trade pillar on cryptopia and this exchange is one of the great exchange existed here, But let see how things would go for pillars since the volume for now is pretty low.

DEV if the market price is far below the ICO price, why we should to invest? I better buy in exchanger and not should to invest. Without a project investor you will not succeed, you should keep the price stable.
You do not reason your coins in a hack, or because of bounty hunter. You really just want an investor's money and laugh alone.
If the price is above the ICO price, and buy support is small, we as investors will understand the condition, and we will hold our coins. But this is not very appropriate.

So do you think those price is setting by Team? Has you ever trading? whether know about the law of commerce?
You can not blame it dude. There's no need some a reason to dodge, facts that have speak  ;)

As you noticed above we're listed on Cryptopia exchange due to our fellow #Pillarista help - big thanks for that. Regarding the fact our team is still working on joining other exchanges, what unexpectedly take more time than we originally announced. We can only ask for your patience as we're also waiting for the end of the talks. See more in our video below.

 David Siegel about PLR token listing on exchanges  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es-Sne4-TEw)

All the best from Poprad - it's final day of our #PillarUnconference!

yes , i see on cryptopia price is good ,
not like on hitbtc/etherdelta ,
i calculation price PLR/ETH to PLR/BTC on crpytopia , and crpyto get high price than 2 market.
but on coinmarketcap not listed cryptopia on PLR market , hope coinmarketcap will added soon to make people know .

Any development updates?  This ico raised a lot of money.  I would expect at least weekly updates.

not yet , take it easy ,i am watching this project too .

No updates are too important for this week , i just see they just update about design contest of pillar wallet 0.1

We have a lot updates all the time, especially now after Pillar Unconference in Poprad. You will find more than we post here on other channels.

Please follow us on
Twitter: https://twitter.com/PillarWallet

Newsletter sign-up is on www.PillarProject.io

Here's the unconference wrap up video, good watch if you're interested.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWEmlyI8750

It's best to keep up w/ Pillar on twitter and their newsletter. However, I'll pop in from time to time w/ updates when I come across them. I can only imagine what a pain in the balls it is to get listed on bigger exchanges. Everyone and their brother is trying to get their stuff listed and this is both a hassle and takes plenty of time and effort.

Also, Team Pillar will be interviewed by Clif High sometime soon per their latest tweet.

Is there any good news for the price of pillar this month? I follow in cryptopia the price is getting down, hopefully the price can be normal again

I don't know why most recent ICOs dumped after their ICO with all the exchanges promised from the team still no real major news on this, the price is quite low for investors to bear

hello pillar dev i want to ask, any news about new biggest exchnge? ex. bittrex/livecoin?

Price is up 53% today which isn't saying much considering the last month's performance. Sitting at #81 on the market cap.

Interesting, now it's up 87% and moved up to #72 on market cap.
http://i66.tinypic.com/313ly4z.jpg
Maybe this ->  https://twitter.com/PillarWallet/status/896072129673805824 ?

look like Pillar will da to moon ,stay here what will happen!

Now Pillar closer to price of ICO ( in dollars).. I hope, price will increase 2x or 3x . What about news? Why price increase now?

Up over 70% today and up to #65 on market cap. Not saying much but it's been the best performer in crypto in the last few days, by far.

First great day since disastrous (pre-sale) ico. Finally, I waited entire night for the pump and sold my entire position. Have even closed with a tiny $50 profit vs months of holding and couldn't trade/ride the wave of eth. Anyways, good luck. Hoping is futile. After listening to ceo interview with jsnip4, the vision of ceo is not something that was implied before and during ico at all. Watch entire video and think critically. Also, I've worked with such people in the past and haven't had a great experience, because shit doesn't get done and businesses went bankrupt. Manifestation of dreams/plans requires discipline, skills and intelligence and when you don't want to go this route (pure freedom without any discipline, nor care about investors), the last thing that is left is hope for the weak. Anywho, good luck, as long as you keep your libertarian principles and don't want to enforce everybody to be chipped once you might have a successful project.

my do we have a wallet now? i still token in myetherwallet. is it still okay to keep there?

Your words, not mine

If you bought PLR during (pre)sale, you did ride it, because ETH was low on sale and high now

Why? What exactly? I don't follow

MEW works great right? You are one click away from doing whatever you want with those tokens. Why do you need another wallet?

That's not true. If you read my previous post, I broke it down to what you're saying. That was the case/true when it sold 45/50 when Eth was just a tiny bit below the same fiat ratio (read my post), however, PLR sold way below fiat/ETH over time and many people panic sold and made losses to jump on other coins. So no, the wisest thing to do was to buy ETH low, hold and buy 17/50 PLR, understand? I was lucky, have the will power to stay up all night and know how to trade and made a profit, thank god. I don't expect a much larger pump, in fact, I think the price is gonna drop, especially when they inflated another 60m (12%) in to the market out coulance due to "hacking" without any proof. I've researched and followed over 150 hours in this project and team and trackrecord of ceo - how do you know if it was a hack. Saying is easy, but I want to see proof. It can also be injected from team to sell soon.

Like I said, watch interview with ceo on youtube with jsnip4 and you understand. Many people are so pissed off having participated. Government control over their wallet to immediately tax, rfid implants in wrists, etc. NO THANKS! This is the opposite of decentralization and freedom (to choose). Also, no final product for years. I was so bullish on this project until this interview slip up and project having donated huge amounts of plr to promoters who didn't disclaim they had a stake and pumped it and they dumped it on their followers for free money. No way to do honest businesses or anything to do with it anymore.

The interview the jr FUDder is referring to happened over a month ago and yet I remember nothing but good things from it. The same host (jsnip4) broadcast last night and did a segment about Pillar as it's now 10% over the ICO price at that point and even higher as I post this. Go to 10:30 for this commentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wPhBohEpNc

They're working on their web wallet among other things and this thread is not like other ANN threads where the team answers peoples' questions/concerns or helicopters over it. You need to follow them on Twitter and get their email scoop. The weak hands have been sifted out as evidenced by the recent move on the price. One thing is correct and that was people exiting the token too early when it was down and trying to flock elsewhere when they should've stayed put or accumulated more. Even Clif High is saying this stuff is going big by Feb '18. I maintain a modest position and am not selling anything here. This is just classic breaking-back-above-even, cut and running just to lock in a gain for peanuts when the real prize in on the way.

Out of all the tokens out there with any upwardly mobile potential, this one is near the cheapest available at this point.

Where do you get this from? And these numbers? I know they are looking into misplaced transactions, but I never read 60M. I thought it was about some people accidentally transferring ETH to some test address.

We were about to comment on crypt0dude post, but we have "no-statements-on-pure-BS" policy, so we won't do that. Last warning for you, dude - one attempt more and you'll have to look for an alternative place to spread your alternative facts...


For everyone interested in hacking issue - here's a one of the previous newsletters with wider explanation.
http://mailchi.mp/pillarproject.io/test-1-security-slovakia-379059

Meanwhile, we are getting focused on finding office space in London, receiving first UX/UI Design contest entries and working on architecture of our wallet. Watch more about it in our fresh video below.
 What's next in Project after #PillarUnconference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK_lpx645us)

Oh, really? Alternative facts, which are they AG2030? So you didn't released 60m (12%) in to the market when before it was 500m CS (see also coinmarketcap), which caused the price to even further drop to 14/50?! And no, I'm not the only one. Maybe watch the Reddit threads as well and have a tab opened on ED and watched the plr price to drop with huge low ball offering sell walls... The numbers speak for themselves.

I've put significant money in to this ico, only based on Clif High's report on the last 10 minutes before your ico closed and had only time to do my DD/FA for 20 minutes, which looked promising and was cheering for you, also in this thread. Then when ico was finished, you've did a live stream which I anticipated and ceo wasn't happy about the low eth contribution and avg/person and other people in chat were shocked which spreaded all on Reddit, which I was silent on. Then the interview came with jsnip4 about the vision of implementation regarding government cooperation and rfid implants and this was reason for me to bail out during the pump. Not to even mention he didn't care about the price of PLR and opened up the market for US citizens while doing the live stream, because apparantly, one was not happy about the raised money...

The fact that you try to imply that I spread FUD or BS is just ironic, where the intelligent thing for you to do is to point out where I'm wrong, when the FACTS are there on VIDEO what I claim is TRUE, unlike you don't like any criticism, which says a lot more about you than me, and if that was so that you are so certain and correct, then you had something to show for, as the purpose of one's being is learning, so if you don't have to learn anymore, teach me something I can learn from you and I'd be greatful and appreciate it for my own betterment. You've better never replied at all, imho, for your own sake.

I don't spread bullshit around, I'm an objectivist and look from both sides to come up with my own conclusions. Something to learn from, maybe.
Keep in mind who have funded you and maybe be greatful, instead of bitter. Investment != charity.

I'm totally shocked to hear a response from an official to imply to CENSOR anything that might hurt them, when those are LEGITIMATE questions and observations.
Objectivism != emotions or your feelings.

No worries AG2030, this was my last post anyway. It's understandable that one is not like to hear criticism that might put one in a bad daylight. We've seen this countless times in human history again what this can lead to like what happened in the 1930's. That's what PC is all about, right? Thought you guys were libertarians and had principles. I know enough.

nice project, the participants had very well earned. I follow the exchange. continues its rapid rise.

Pillar (PLR) : (https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/pillar/) $0.120857

at these prices the investment is made? ???

It's not even in big exchanges yet, maybe it will rise more once we see it in big exchanges.
Pillar has been a good project to all of us who invested on it.

Dude, you are so wrong! The change you are talking about is Marketcap, not Marktet Volume.
Do you understand what the term "maketcap" means? Roughly: value of 1 coin * total number of coins.
Because PLR previously not listed on any exchange, and at some point was only listed on EtherDelta and HitBTC, only with a very low volume, any trade would have huge influence of the marketcap.
If there are 0 trades on either exchange, and assume one person sells 1 PLR token for 2x or 3x its previous value, you would get that spike you talk about. For any token which is only at very low volume on the market, you get this behavior. Look at coinmarketcap, there has not been a major release op PLR into the markets


So, you are saying you didn't do your homework, and despite of that, still jumped, based on a comment of someone else, and are now disappointed with the results of your jump?
That is completely your fault man.
But have been looking into Pillar from early days, and for me there are now surprises and no disappointments.
They have always been very clear and transparent on their actions and plans.
Sure they learn along the way and may adjust accordingly. And sure they may have made some small mistakes along the way. But in general, they did a great job, stayed true to their vision and have been perfectly clear on every step.


This is not true. And you are missing maybe the most important point stressed by Pillar and David almost every day: Pillar will be designing the proposed Wallet after the ICO. So, this ICO, or Pillar in general is not for the traders, not for the short term people. Pillar is for the long run, for the investors / keepers.
Do not mix investors with traders, because they could be quite the opposite.
Everyone which was playing the short-term spike to make a quick profit from a token flip was bound to be disappointed. Ans Pillar and David stressed this point many time.
Starting price (or early price) of the Pillar token is irrelevant, because the road ahead is not the short term road you may have been looking for.
You jumped on the wrong train man, you jumped the investors train, not the traders train.

Yes you do! Because of all of the above, you are spreading BS! You are not an objectivist, you mistake your own view of the world to be a fact instead of being subjective. Your conclusions are not a fact, they are the result of the way you see things.
Your are downplaying a great project, because you did not do your homework, and because you don't get your facts straight.
You were looking for a short term payout, but choose a long term project. That is reality, not BS.

They have been perfectly clear on this change, and for me personally, I don't have any problem with them opening up to US, I was more bothered with the fact they did not do this much more early (although I completely understand the reasons). You pick one event, and give your negative subjective spin on it, and this way you maybe can even pick more events and occurrences to give a negative remark about (and an "I told you so" answer), but they simply made a decision which might not be your decision, and all the dark reasons behind it which are in your head, could simply be not true and non-existing.


I think they are totally right to put a stop to yours BS! "Objectivism != emotions or your feelings" is something that applies a lot more to you than to Pillar. Live by your ow rules!

I log into myetherwallet and saw a transaction from my account to pillar team account. Now I have 0 pillars. What is going on? Thanks.

Sweep your computer fot virus.
Sure No one had your private key / password?
Forgot to log out of a public computer?

So how does Pillar protect the personal data if the device is jailbroken? Or is that an excluded protection scenario?

Is  there any plan for getting this coin added to Bittrex or some other exchange
Etherdelta is not that instant in buy/sell

Why is that? I did quite some trading on ED and works realtime for me

I prefer to wait for the development of the project and sell later.

This sounds a good plan than trading it now, it will worth bigger in the future and especially
when development is seen by the investors.

not yet , recently Bittrex  is not easy to hit ,so many ico tokens are waitting . i think Etherdelta  is very ok!

EtherDelta is good for now, but don t forget that the bittrex is clearly a heavy platform. And now, after the design contest, we need absolutely going to better place to exchange.

I know Bittrex is hard for now. Because so many coins want to go there... But for now, the actual exchange is clearly not enough.

From PILLAR , I learned. That when the token sale is over and already distributed the price will drop dramatically.
Because many people are selling giveaway results. From there I learned. that developers do not stay silent
Developers will step in to get back to the original price ICO.

>> Developers will step in to get back to the original price ICO.

I dont think so. I think they are more concerned to deliver the product, and don't care about the token price. That latter would idealy be the result of the first

BITTREX is becoming new POLO last few days. We have to keep waiting and waiting for them to add the new tokens to their exchange.

why not bittrex?

Well, the answer is in the post above yours

Many of you were asking how to join our slack, some of you were curious how to get in touch with our team and others were interested in contributing to the project. With any of these needs please come to the Pillar Online Community, which is now OPEN!

what made price rise then sudden drop..
almost 70% drop from last 2 weeks price

Because quick buck makers cant see any value in this project.There is no product still. By the february 2018 i expect price will exceed at least 3$ level. Keep your investment for better ROI.

I agree with Razerglass, although I'm not comfortable saying what prices will do... At least I am convinced it will be much more than ICO price

I pulled all my Funds from Bittrex after I had to wait 10days for account to be unlocked.. Hopeless Customer service.

On they upside this coin has promise so bought 1300.. :)

Can someone please provide ICO vs current price values for Pillar project?

i agree.. polo is becoming the least option as of the moment, there are so many problems in their site as of now. just like me, i cant even log in my account. tsk!

Seriously? You cant check coinmarketcap.com or cryptocompare.com yourself?
0.0005 v 0.0003, but these numbers are useless since they change the moment I post it

Bittrex has a lot of coins and they are still accommodating  new listings so I would love to see pillar in bittrex and we want the team
to give us an update on what is really their plans so we do not keep asking.

Try Cryptopia.co.nz Has Pillar and loads of others.

Etherdelta is still the best place to trad PLR. Also really cheap now, might be profitable in the long run.

Cryptopia lacks Ether support, which I think is really a major thing

Ethereum and Ethereum based tokens are listed on Cryptopia.

I also hope PLR ​​is listed on bittrex ,, let's pillar, it's time you rise from adversity ,, we buy this token 0.0005 eth / 1 PLR but after entering in the exchange, the price is far below ico price :(

It's been a while since the ICO and I think we have all been patient so far, but its about time for the dev team to get Pillar onto bigger exchanges.

I know coinmarketcap, also checked cryptocompare, I do not see ICO price there. It's not a problem to check current price, but most sites do not list ICO price.

It would be nice if you can point where I check ICO price on these sites.

I think PLR will still grow but we still need a lot of time because this altcoin is very potential when the project has attracted more than 90000 ETH. I am sure PLR is the best long term investment at the moment and we should buy PLR right away

That can be easily found on their website: https://pillarproject.io/tokens/

Why would we buy this token if they just do not care about the price in the market. Long term ,, until when ,, ? Are we going to wait until we get tired of holding this token.

I am always agree with this comment

Pillar is really a great project for the long term and we will have to be patient to see prices rise

in the meantime it is necessary to take advantage of very low prices and then to hold our position

Pillar Much lower than the price of ICO. I regret investors - no way after the scandal on Etnerdelta, the price will not straighten out in the right direction.

Quoted from Pillars Website:

"We successfully completed our token sale, raising 113,674.4 eth (over $20 million) from 13,446 transactions"

This is a great long term Coin that I have bought into.. you can't dis what doesn't exist yet...

Posting as I got this email this morning:

Design Contest
Our design contest is officially over. 19 teams submitted designs - some very well thought out, some very well designed and all with a lot of creativity and ingenuity on display. It is obvious that participants poured a lot of time and effort into their work.

The next few days our Development Team and I will be reviewing the submissions. Some of the contest participants have posted their submissions in the Contest Team channels, so you can review, comment and provide feedback directly to the designers. We will announce the winners Sept. 30th.

Thanks Apostle4444 for keeping this forum updated - nice avatar by the way!  ;D

Regarding 19 design contestants and their entries- you can review them all on our website here: https://pillarproject.io/design-contest-entries

You can also see them at work - discussing and developing live their ideas - in our community, where you can as well meet our team and check what's going on in the project day by day. Be part of it and join at https://pillarproject.io/online-community

i hope it true, i following pillar price in cryptopia and etherdelta it hard to go up,
i'm hold some pillar and now just hope next month this coin go towering price

The desings are posted here: https://pillarproject.io/design-contest-entries/

Some ar really REALLY nice, slick and strong. Kick ass!

Yes, the future is now clearly more nice :D

I like some of these design. But the idea will be the first. So i m very excited for the evolution of this alt.

The results will be on 30 september. We have few days before results !

Way too many wallets out there which is why this project is a winner..

One wallet to rule them all.. :)

Pillar price always goes down -40% from ICO Price , this time for good get it or still waiting for low price again ?
I don't think so , this time good for buy and hold it , I'am believe of Pillar Will be raise again few weeks again.

looking at the ongoing project like a design contest I think the coin is still worth the wait for the price increase, it's just whether we can be patient or will sell at a cheap price

too many coins from ICO make many traders confused to choose to trade.
according to my experience this is normal, pillar age is still introduction stage for trader.

Update from an email I received.

Design Competition Winners
The contest had 19 submissions, and it really fulfilled the goal of people coming together, working on their designs, collaborating, thinking, and contributing to our group exploration of wallet design space. My goal in launching the contest was not to find a perfect design candidate and then “go forward” with it to become the Pillar wallet interface. My goal was to bring out talent and collaboration. Even though people may have felt like they were competing, I hope they will realize now that we’re all one big family and can draw on many inspirations, talents, and skills to create the ultimate Pillar user experience. I plan to take it forward with a design workshop in the next month or two.

There were many good efforts. I want to express my appreciation to all who participated. I hope they found the exercise fulfilling in itself. A few stood out. They deserve our community recognition. I have singled out seven entries to present to the community. One is a special “honorable mention” winner because it was a good new idea. Three were worthy of mention as a group and were rewarded with tokens. And there were a “top three” that earned prize money. No single design got the 50 ether “first place” award, but as you’ll see, the top three were well executed, had testing built in, and there was good thinking about scalability. Moreover, I felt they explored their corner of design space well. Please come watch the 20-minute video I made disclosing the winners.

Wallet Workshop
Thanks again to all the people who participated in the design contest. Some people asked me to review their designs, and I want to tell you about a design event we’re planning in New York for the end of this month. We’ll have a call for designers today, October 3rd, at 10pm UK time, which is 5pm on the East coast in the US and 2pm on the West Coast. I will lead a general discussion about a design camp and work on possible dates, and after that I’ll be happy to review people’s contest entries and discuss them for 5-10 minutes each. Please help us move the wallet design forward!

The project is promising the future. Projects managed by Sylon are usually good. It is a good reference. The team also gives confidence, all of them entrepreneurial men who are experienced in their field. When Ico sales start, I will also take some and I will keep it for a while. I hope the future will make us laugh.

see .. the price for PLR token is getting destroyed..
i was not lucky, bought a high price on ICO and had to sell it cheaply because the price is no progress ;D
i have removed it from my portfolio because it does not profit by investing in this token.

Any coin/token is a gamble but this coin is a mid to long term Investment due to the goals of the project so your loss is someone else's gain this early in the life of the token.

ico start price $ 0.042 now 0.061565

I totally agree, I love to get PLR at the current rate, its a bargain!

another Pillar Update...

Wallet Workshop
Since Vitor arrived in London, we have been accomplishing more and more in our weekly sprints. We have built a demo wallet and it works! Of course, it has very limited functionality. Right now Vitor is wrapping up the effort to add new wallet views, a transaction history, and ETH transferability. In the coming days, we will be adding additional functionality. I am excited to discuss all we have accomplished, and what’s left to accomplish in advance of the release of Pillar Wallet 1.0.

Our Working Groups
We are setting up working groups to help us move the Pillar project forward. If you have particular expertise in one of these areas, we would like to ask for your help. We’re willing to pay certain experts on retainer to help us connect to the developments and events in their world. Each of these groups has a channel in our online community.
•   GDPR - we are actively looking for experts on GDPR, not only in Europe but also in North America.
•   Identity - we have engaged Kaliya Hamlin (USA) and Alan Sherriff (UK) to help us be prepared with digital identity issues. Please come learn from and work with them in the identity channel.
•   Data security - we’re looking for security experts. Are you interested in security? If so, come join our working group. We have a call coming up on October 12th.
•   Exchange - I’d like to ask people interested in exchanges to read this excellent summary of decentralized exchange protocols by Fred Ehrsam. At Pillar, we want to help create a worldwide order book and some kind of smart matching capability, probably using the Ox protocol. Josh Fairhead will be heading up this grou.
•   Messaging - we believe our first wallet will have a strong social aspect (this hasn’t been decided for sure, so consider it a rumor). We want to put together a messaging group to plan a messaging service. This will be a for-profit service, and we are happy to engage people who want to start this on the side. This group needs a leader or leaders.
•   Chat bots - I expect that within 18 months our wallet will have an integrated chat bot. Michael Shea will head up this research and discussion group.
•   Nigeria working group - we are planning our first big developer conference in Lagos, Nigeria, for next spring. We want to interact with and support the local community in “leaping forward” using blockchain technology and, we hope, the Pillar wallet. We want to engage with academics, entrepreneurs, business, and government people to create a lasting, meaningful, and productive relationship with the people of Nigeria (and Cameroun). Can you help?


Come to the London Meetups!
We have two meetups coming soon:
First, we have a high-energy meetup with the N.O.M.A.N. group in London, on October 10th, after work. Come meet the Pillaristas and learn about Etch, their token-based system for managing payroll.


Join us on October 10th!

Second, we are meeting with anyone interested in planning our Nigeria unconference and hackathon next spring. This is a planning meeting in London, to reach out to those who can help us work with people in academia, start-ups, the business community, and government to bring new levels of blockchain collaboration and innovation. Please join us on Wednesday, October 11th, from 5:30pm at All Bar One in Shoreditch! Sign up and tell your friends!

Another update from the Pillar team. (Communication is key and we are seeing plenty of it)

Join The Conversation on Twitter
If you’re on Twitter, don’t forget to follow us:
I’m @pullnews.
The Pillar project is @pillarwallet.
If you are in our twitter community, you might have seen this tweet last week:

                Replying to @PillarWallet @ThinkRiseLDN
                I heard Vitor (Steve Jobs of Crypto)
                left IBM and is now full time, true?
                11:12am . 3 Oct 2017 . Twitter for IPad


Yes, Vitor is winding down his time at IBM and joining us full time. Is Vitor the "Steve Jobs of Crypto"? He's certainly brilliant, and luckily, much less volatile and much easier to work with!

Needless to say, Twitter is a rich source of both rumors and rich conversations. We do our best to clarify the rumors and, engage in generative conversations and respond to our followers. We encourage you to join us on twitter for some fresh content and daily updates. We are also on Facebook (much to some members of our team's chagrin).


Staff Highlight
Vitor is our CTO and one of the geniuses on our development team. Vitor was bored at work and looking for something challenging to sink his teeth into. He had connected with me via LinkedIn a long time ago, and in 2016 Vitor accepted my invitation to the 20|30 Slack channel. He had already volunteered to help the EtheRisc team with their white paper, which I had read and admired. Vitor agreed to do some work on the CryptX index. After a few months of heavy lifting as a volunteer, and as Pillar got closer to its ICO, I asked Vitor to become a 2030 founder and lead Pillar's development efforts.

Vitor is a senior software developer with 10 years of experience in a wide variety of domains. He loves this profession and a while back became fascinated with Blockchain. Vitor, after being turned away by Google and Facebook deep into the interviewing process (a BIG loss for them!), has been a contractor for IBM, and will be wrapping up his contract with them in the coming weeks.
Vitor lives in Rio, Brazil, and after some “convincing,” he has agreed to relocate to London. This is HUGE for us, because as you know I believe in the concept of decentralization but I also believe strongly that people developing new products do best to work in the same room together. Our entire team is looking forward to working side-by-side with Vitor in our new office.
Most of us will arrive in the office by the end of this year, ending the remote collaboration that began back in January. We accomplished so much remotely and made many mistakes too. Working in the same space is going to greatly increase our efficiency. We look forward to helping all our new London arrivals like Vitor and their families get settled.

New communication from the project:

Today I have two big announcements, be sure to see both of them …


The ICO Show
We are all about community here at the Pillar project. One way we want to give back is to help people plan and execute better ICOs. So I’ve decided to launch The ICO Show, to help people figure out their ICO strategy and to give planned ICOs a chance to answer the hard questions. If you’re thinking about launching an ICO, I’d love to discuss that with you. And if you have an interesting ICO coming up, please tell us about it. We already have a great group of volunteers (Ash, Will, Andy, Arick, Tony - anyone else want to join us?) and we’re setting up an exciting lineup of shows starting this Tuesday, October 17th.

THE ICO SHOW

What About an Exchange?
Trust me, I’m as eager to see the Pillar tokens listed on an exchange as you are. We are “in process” with the large exchanges. They are taking their time onboarding new tokens, and they are being very picky about which tokens they take. I can’t promise anything yet, but I will tell you about an exchange listing as soon as we have it.


The Pillar Wallet Road Map
Today we announce our Pillar Wallet Road Map. It’s not set in stone, but it will tell you what we’re working on and why. The article lists four wallets. Our goal is to release the first two in the next six months and the other two as soon as they are ready. There’s plenty of information here. Please spend ten minutes reading our ...

Wallet Developer Meeting
There are a lot of new members in our online community, and they are bringing a wealth of energy and skills. Development skills in particular. We are thrilled about this influx of talent and want to harness the energy and support. So, on Monday at 3pm UTC, Vitor and Partha will be hosting an open meeting for potential new developers. In this meeting we will identify ways for volunteers to help develop the wallet and begin their journey, if interested, towards getting hired. Of course, any back-end and front-end coders interested in working with us should see our jobs page https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=568609e520&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=568609e520&e=e6ec2eae28), but this is a chance to interact with two of our stars.

Wallet Design Workshop
At the end of this month, some of our Design Contest winners and Core Team members will meet in NYC at Rise New York, one of the Barclays Rise accelerators we are now part of. Our goal is to build the entire 1.0 wallet interface in three days! It will be fast and furious, with pizza thrown in to sustain us. There will be three people coming from Europe, three from the West Coast, and two from the East Coast. If you’re an experienced designer and want to join us, please contact me directly. We are doing everything we can do go quickly and start shipping wallets people can use.


One of the first Pillar ICOs
Our friends at Etch are having an ICO to create payment systems for people doing hourly work. It’s one of the first systems that has declared their intention to work with the Pillar wallet. They came to Poprad, Slovakia, to be part of the Pillar family. I’m an advisor. As always, remember that all ICO tokens have the chance to go to zero. Portfolio exposure is more important than risk. See my webinar https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=7b75855fd2&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=7b75855fd2&e=e6ec2eae28) on postmodern portfolio theory for more. If you’re interested in the future of work, it’s worth learning about Etch and their project.

Great price increase today, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pillar/
Even with the bitcoin price is still on rise but it's one of the project I've seen who's rising in the past few days, small exchange but with increasing volume.

well
not yet i think
the price still same with ICO price
https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/GPC04Xd.png
but on based of ETH price
i dont know
and most active market from etherdelta,
we need another market
i hate etherdelta too much cost of fee  :-\ :-\

the price is 30% below ICO price, ICO price was 0.0005 ETH, i'm glad that i got +120% of PLR when weak hands r dumping.

Price is looking good atm..

Pillar Pillar (PLR)
$0.147585 (+29.47%)

https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/GQBWrND.png

the prices going up
btw , i dont see the important update from dev on social media
shit
i lost the last waves.

Tidal waves ahead... prepair for a Pillar Tsunami ;)

Plr doesn't really seem like a project that will pump on an announcement. Slow rally due to the work being shown to be done. In the end PLR investors will be happy.

It's down right now, maybe that's because of the pump of bitcoin price.
I miss the train because I was about to sell on the  pump but I expected too much, now that the price is low maybe I'll wait a little bit to fall a bit then buy.

Latest update from the Newsletter...

Wow, things are moving now. A lot to catch you up on …


Token Webinar Coming Up
I’m giving a webinar on token types and business models. It will be live on Wednesday, November 1st, at noon East coast/4pm UK time.
I’ll leave time for people to ask questions (for once). PLEASE NOTE: The UK changes time back one hour on October 31st, while the US changes time on Nov 5th, so for that week the UK will be only 4 hours ahead of the US' East Coast.


Register for the Token Webinar https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=d60eea75ba&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=d60eea75ba&e=e6ec2eae28)


The New York Design Update
This past week I met with several winners of the wallet design contest for three intense days at the Rise accelerator in New York City. They came from Russia, Holland, California, and Philadelphia. I had no idea how well a team of strangers would work together, but we did the whole thing family style - everyone stayed in one big flat in Brooklyn, and we jammed all day long, sharing meals and really getting into the work, from breakfast until late at night. We’re all aware that we’re designing an operating system that, for now, looks like a wallet. We will share a video update of the experience soon.


The ICO Wallet
At last week’s awesome Pillar MeetUp in Haarlem, Mike Boutwell (or as YouTube knows him, Mike B.) sat down to discuss the ICO Wallet with Tomer Sofinzon, Pillar Project Co-Founder. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to subscribe to Mike B.’s channel for regular updates about Pillar and all things blockchain.


Watch the Conversation https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=473a073c30&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=473a073c30&e=e6ec2eae28)


Is There a 20|30 ICO Coming?
Yes, the rumors are true (plus I mentioned it in the road map), we’re working on an ICO for 20|30. Recall that the Pillar project was a 20|30 project but has now spun out to be its own nonprofit foundation. That leaves 20|30 with no money to create the projects that will go hand in hand with the Pillar wallet.
20|30 has re-launched a new website at www.2030.io and its mission is to create a broad portfolio of blockchain-based projects. In addition to owning ten percent of all Pillar tokens, we are working on creating a special exchange for accredited investors only, and we’re planning to launch several security tokens next year. Then we’ll work on helping startups launch equity-token crowd sales on our platform and help get hundreds of startups get properly funded. We’re breaking new ground, working with regulators, and ultimately changing markets by tokenizing investments and making them available to more people.
You can help! We are looking for accredited/sophisticated investors. The definition of accredited varies in different countries, check here https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=a98fc8f7ea&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=a98fc8f7ea&e=e6ec2eae28). If you’re an accredited investor, or if you know one, please contact us to help get the word out about our upcoming ICO. We want a lot of people to participate in our equity offering, so we can hire more amazing people and keep building the products and services that will change the world.
If you think you are accredited or you know an accredited investor, please contact accredited@2030.io to learn more about what we’re planning. If you know any journalists who cover fintech, please have them do the same. We will be sending out further communications regarding the process of accredited investment. Also please sign up for our 20|30 newsletter on the website for anyone interested in keeping up to date.

..latest newsletter from the Pillar Team.

You had many questions after our previous newsletter - we probably answered most of them in two recent updates on YouTube. And there's even more!


Tomer Answers Questions
Tomer is a founder of both the Pillar Project and 20|30. He took to YouTube last week to answer questions coming in about the upcoming 20|30 ICO.


Watch Tomer's Update
https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=847fc0b545&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=847fc0b545&e=e6ec2eae28)

David Answers Questions
I understand that people are confused about the difference between 20|30 and Pillar, so I want to keep communicating about that.
20|30 is a for-profit company that will build a portfolio of different blockchain projects. We started early in 2017 with the CryptX index, we got interrupted to do the Pillar Project, and now we’re building for-profit products and services on the Pillar platform. So 20|30 is the first of many companies that will use the Pillar ecosystem to make money. You can start one, too.

It’s important to understand that … 
•   20|30 supported Pillar, but now 20|30 receives no money from Pillar. All ether raised during the Pillar ICO is dedicated to building the Pillar ecosystem.
•   Pillar was always supposed to be a non-profit foundation, and we are executing that. Some people think this will make their tokens less valuable, but that’s not true. Ethereum is a foundation. DASH is a foundation. NEO is a foundation. Filecoin is a foundation. The vast majority of blockchain token projects are open source, which means they give their software away for free and hope everyone uses it, making the token more valuable to early buyers.
•   We hope you will actually use the tokens in your Pillar wallet. If you have any extra tokens you don’t use, we hope they will become more valuable, they may incidentally give you a good return, but that is not our mission. It’s our job to make the Pillar ecosystem incredibly useful and become the next-generation operating system for all future devices. If we do that, many people will want to buy Pillar tokens to power their devices and get more from them. As the system becomes more useful, your tokens become more valuable as a byproduct. This has been clearly stated many times and is in the Gray Paper.
•   20|30 will be the gatekeeper for the Pillar ICO wallet. If we open the Pillar ICO wallet to anyone, it would be full of scam ICOs, so 20|30 will put together a program to vet and onboard ICOs. Once that’s working, we are happy to give a license to other trusted companies to do the same thing. We don’t want to prevent legitimate ICOs from using our wallet.
•   To eat our own dog food, 20|30 will be the very first ICO on the Pillar ICO wallet. I wouldn’t want anyone to use a wallet we haven’t tested enough to be confident to put our own fundraise on, so we’re going to do just that.
•   The 20|30 ICO will be for equity tokens, which by law cannot be sold to the public. They can only be sold to accredited (wealthy) investors. This is not our choice, this is the law. We would violate securities laws if we sold equity tokens to the public (and some companies have done that - we’re not going to).
•   Remember that with the money we get from the 20|30 fundraise, we will invest to increase the value of the Pillar platform by building services that charge Pillar tokens. You may not participate in the 20|30 fundraise, but if you’re a Pillar token holder, you’ll benefit from it. We appreciate your support. You can support us by sending accredited investors to our investor page https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=01b9944f89&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=01b9944f89&e=e6ec2eae28) to learn more.

GDPR Update
We are making progress on our GDPR wallet. We are convinced many companies will want to use this solution - replacing accounts with wallets.

We try to provide the best information we have but cannot guarantee or warrant that you will be successful when acting according to our recommendations.

Good news that they aren't risking getting caught up with regulatory red tape. However that does mean a promising project I cant get in on the ground floor of :(

It seems to be a good project, but the little people post here, when will it launch a big exchange like Bittrex or Binance?

I would not call Cryptopia a small Exchange but it's obviously one your not on.  I moved from Bittrex to Cryptopia because there Support is slow as hell.

The volume on Cryptopia is pretty limiting. Still it was nice to see PLR listed there.

Pillar on the rise or perhaps a pump ?  $0.153351 (+21.49%)

I expect it not to be a pump, but anticipation for the new designed wallet

Now the price has started to grow, i think that is because PLR was added to hitbtc.com, i had not noticed it on this exchange before. With current growth rate and rising interest of investors we can expect even 2x in nearest weeks, maybe more. Pillar underlying technology is highly demanded right now,  especially after recent Ethereum Parity`s wallet hack. 

Latest newsletter from the Pillar project:

Lots of events behind and ahead of us - see what's coming up in the next days!


The Pillar Wallet Designathon
We had a fantastic time in New York, where we came together, bonded, and the team did amazing work. We had Drew and Franky from Los Angeles (design contest winners #1), Dmitry from St Petersburg on crutches (contest winner #2), and Eli (runner up) as well as Thais and Shashi from Amsterdam. Thais did a cool wrap video, we shot it from the roof of the place where everyone stayed. I hope you enjoy meeting our new design team (they all volunteered - now most of them are full-time employees).

Town Hall Meeting: November 21
I’ll do a full hour of Q&A on Tuesday, November 21st, at noon EST/5pm UK time. Many people will be getting ready for Thanksgiving, but I hope you’ll take the time to watch. I’ll give a short update on the project, and then take questions from an early Pillar tokenholder, Vic Patane, who has been watching Pillar from his perspective in New Jersey. He’s asked me several questions by email, so I invited him to talk with me live on YouTube.

About Vic:
Vic has over 35 years of financial industry experience.  A self-taught student of blockchain who participated in one of his first ICO’s at 3AM on a Sunday morning, when he managed to get some Pillar tokens. Vic’s goal is to learn a little more each day while working to empower those around him. 

You can send your questions to me ahead of time to info@pillarproject.io

David, it seems you are a good manager, you team has a strong spirit, they are professionals, motivated, you speak with audience here on this thread, you often posts detailed reports here, i should like to all ICO projects has such attitude to development. Clearly, Pillar is one of the best 2017 investment. Project looks very attractive for short term trading and long term holding.

When is another Pillar Token Webinar...I have a few smart questions ... ;)

Latest Pillar project newsletter:

   SUMMARY
•   We are hiring semantic-data generalists, developers, Pillar University staff
•   We have two webinars soon: GDPR webinar on Nov 30th and Token webinar on Dec 7th
•   London Developer MeetUp video is on our channel as well as AMA session we livestreamed last week

The Hiring Continues
We are looking for a very particular person now: someone who understands metadata, ontologies, taxonomies, XML, semantic search, offers, spiders, bots, data science, machine learning, architecture, coding frameworks, statistics, security, and more. A semantic-data generalist.

This is a full-time position for our office in London. If you know that person, please ask him/her to come to our online community and say hi.

Join our community and introduce yourself! https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=88ca6ef3a9&e=e6ec2eae28 (https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=88ca6ef3a9&e=e6ec2eae28)

We are still looking for Node.js back-end developers for the core wallet and for the upcoming Business wallet. We’re also looking for strong back-end developers who play well with others.
We are putting the team together for Pillar University. It will have all kinds of resources: talks, animations, articles, courses, documentation, case studies, webinars, online events, offline events, meetups, contests, conferences, unconferences, coding camps, hackathons, scholarships, and more.
Where does the team come from? They have all been volunteering for The ICO Show, which we’ve decided to cancel. Not because it isn’t fun and informative - it’s both - it was just taking too much of my time, and I have to focus on Pillar. So we are taking the volunteer team from the ICO Show and moving them into full- and half-time positions at Pillar University.
Want to help with any of the above? Great. You’re hired. Just come to our online community and get started. Better yet, come to our office in London. To get the full scoop on our hiring process...

The Power of Showing Up
We were discussing culture today, and we realized that most of the people we’ve hired have simply started working with us without asking. They either started by coming to the event in Slovakia and then just kept going, or they literally came into our office in London, put their laptop down, and got to work without asking anyone. They just worked and got things done and didn’t ask about jobs or salaries. And I think we’ve ended up hiring almost all of them. Keeping that in mind, here are open items we can use help with …
•   More Node.js developers in London.
•   Personal assistant for three founders.
•   A person who is an expert at XML, semantic data, taxonomies, and ontologies.
•   A banking partner to help people transfer their fiat money into ether and send to the wallet.
•   Someone who seriously wants to build the world’s best blockchain explorer.
•   Someone who wants to work on messaging on the platform.
•   Someone who wants to work on calendar integration.
•   Someone who wants to help Pillar become an online giving platform.

Introduction to Tokens: Blockchain, Token Types, and Business Models

About this webinar
In this one-hour presentation, David Siegel will walk through token design space and explain token business models. David is the author of The Token Handbook, the most comprehensive resource on tokens to date.

David will present his token taxonomy and discuss what's happening in the world of ICOs and tokens today. And he'll answer your questions about your token project and ICO. Join us to learn about the exploding world of blockchain tokens!

https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/13689/290481

Some Nice growth being seen:

$0.243825 USD (31.40%)

Does anyone know where a Pillar road map for their ICO marketplace thing is? Do they have one publicly available?

The following has some useful information:

https://wiki.pillarproject.io/index.php/Main_Page (https://wiki.pillarproject.io/index.php/Main_Page)

The price goes up what reason just a pump or something.Maybe there's some news that i don't have ? Anybody got the answer?

I think the price goes up just because this is a natural growth. All Altcoin market is on the rise, and pillar is not an exception. More over, they are hiring, working, very active in social media, their manager looks like a sparkling personality, they are opened for community and discussions, a lot of green flags for investors. For those, who are looking pillar roadmap: https://medium.com/@pullnews/the-pillar-wallet-road-map-761222e95127

Green Flag indeed...This video was eye opener for me:

David is pure professional and I like people like him - hardworking and honest....and Im not saying this just to fart rainbows over this project.

The Final ICO Show
We wound up the ICO Show with a review of the year 2017 and things to come in 2018. My guests were Lex Sokolin of Autonomous NEXT and Toby Lewis of Novum Insights. It’s an hour of data, insights, and predictions for next year.

Mark Your Calendars!
On January 10th at 5pm UK time, we’ll have our first semiannual Pillar general meeting. This will be a 90-minute report from all divisions of Pillar and some news from 20|30. We’ll provide a financial summary and update everyone on wallet development and testing. We hope to also give a sneak preview of the design of the wallet interface. We’ll take questions from people on YouTube, so be sure to watch it live.

Pillar Tokenholders’ Council
Are you an active, forward-leaning token holder who isn’t too anxious and just wants to see the project succeed? Someone who cares about the utility of the token, not the price? We would like our community to self-select a team of about five representatives that we can meet with and start to share some responsibilities. This will start out informally but will become more structured and have more responsibilities and engagement over time. Please come to our online community and start a dialog in the new governance channel (if you don’t see it, add it by clicking More... in the left column).


Ether to the Moon
I caught the price of ether at a good moment the other day…

•   Someone with experience running a crypto exchange

Hi mate, where did you get this? Did you subscribed to their newsletter? I did too but did not received this article though. Thanks for posting this one here. Ahm, didnt the teamsaid about the possible release of their wallet?

Will we see beta wallet on video soon?  :)

Yeah it's there newsletter.. I'll find the link and post it. I believe a beta wallet is due very soon.

Pillar is still under the radar in a lot of ways, so I have a feeling it'll generate a lot of momentum once people see what the company is really capable of.

"radar in a lot of ways" for what?

I mean that it's not getting as much attention as I think it deserves.

Sign up to the newsletter at the bottom of there main page @ https://pillarproject.io/ (https://pillarproject.io/)

I`m looking forward for Year-end meeting on Jan 10th, when demo wallet should be presented. For that reason PLR price holds firmly, and may be pumped up to 2x just before the meeting. Of course it`s not all about speculation, Pillar underlying idea is great, but that might be a good complement for the good year.

I expect the live broadcast to be broadcast after 7 days, I hope I can see a little more increase at this time. Especially for me, entering a bulky stock market can lead to a better position than the current situation.

This Token needs to be in a good exchange like trex and polo even binance and kucoin in able to be on the radar of the investor. The team is focus in pure development and I never hear news about a good exchange. This must be considered by the devs. Even if they develop a good project while no one knows it and trade their coin, Then it is still nonsense. Many new coins successfully entering this well-known exchange and outperform pillar even if their project is not that good compared to this one. Just saying

Personal privacy is at risk in today digital world. Big companies are collecting our data. We must stand out and protect the freedom of internet. Waiting for the demo wallet goes live.

The team is working on that around the clock. It is a hard and long road to get that done. First half of 2017 was a free for all for all ICO's and tokens, but with the more and more pressing rules by covernments and organizations like the ECB and SEC, exachanges are very reluctant and carefull listing new tokens.
They take a risk with every coin they list, and might be held accountable or liable for it.
Due diligence is top of mind, and therefore it takes a while. You here nothing about it because there is no news to report, but that does not mean that behind the seemingly closed doors, a lot of work is put into it.

Pilar continues to evolve slowly the updates are regular and we receive a monthly email and the token is now exchangeable at Hitbtc. https://hitbtc.com/exchange/PLR-to-BTC                                                                                                                                                 

Wow Im really excited about how the value of Pillar tokens will respond to its incoming presentation and beta release of the pillar wallet, price is continuously moving Im getting a huge profit now if I will sell my pillar tokens but NO its not time Im a believer of this project gonna keep my tokens in 2 years, keep hodling guys  ;D   

Don`t forget, today, at 12:00 PM EST, pillar team will show us their progress and demo wallet.  I see no reason to doubt it, we will see something huge. That is why 99% of all investors holds firmly their pillar tokens (see coinmarketcup). People tired from web wallets, which can be phished or compromised. It`s time for the future.

The concept of the Pillar project is quite good and interesting. Personal data is very important, there should be some meas to insure its safe and not be abused, but everything we do on the internet will be recorded and supplied to some big data company to analyze our every action, this is not accepted without our permission.

I'm not able to watch live, but I'm anxious to hear about it.

Year-end Pillar LIVE open meeting

2017 year-end report from all divisions of the Pillar core team - join us, come with your questions and invite your fellow Pillaristas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGtTlPy15_4

... and what about this meeting finally ?

Market Crash!!!

Will dig into some more details later on about this project

The market is plummeting, which is a real headache.

Pilar is not the only one concerned the market stall is general and follows the decline of the bitcoin.The market will go up again, you just have to be patient and hold.

If you read through this entire article, at the end they explain why it's so important that companies like Pillar will exist.

https://nyti.ms/2FGVArL

Pillar price looks solid now, and before the product release better to hold and buy more tokens for mid-term investment in this great project. Mrket will recover and Pillar price will grow more than now.

Pillar is definitely one of the projects I'm most excited about.

Dev & Design teams need to know what kinds of phones are we using. It is important for future wallet stability and maintainability.

Also, on February 16, Pillar team will show fresh updated demo wallet. Stay tuned.

Bought some Pillar at ICO and basically forgot about it. Will be huge if/when they manage to pull off their goals.

New Wallet Live Demo (February 16)
https://coindar.org/en/event/pillar-plr-new-wallet-live-demo-2439

I bought the PLR from the ICO project and have forgotten in the last 6 months. Today I have a chance to see the PLR price and I am really impressed with this project because of my profit now x5. I will continue to keep and will not sell because they own the best development team

Hey people, Pillar announces a competition, everyone has a chance to win 1 ETH, all you need is to create new iconic image for Pillar, "something cool, something iconic". Don`t be shy, send your artwork, as a pillar fan, i want to spread this information among my friends-designers, you can do the same.

It's pretty cool that they do stuff like this. It makes me wish I were a better designer!

did not expect the pillar to have such a fantastic price now and I feel the loss of selling this coin for a low price. hopefully can buy this coin and hold until next year

i did not even expecting PLR will rise as much as its going right now,. i even regreted i have sold 10k pcs only for below 5k sats. its really a heartbreaking, i thought i was alreadygetting more profit, i didnt know i will get more IF i just have holed it for long term. but i cant go back, it has been a lesson learned then.  :(

Pillar team is looking for world-class designers / front-end / Node.js devs, to come and work at pillarwallet.

Also, Pillar presented their idea on interesting and unusual event: 'BBB - Blockchain, Babes & Bitcoin'

New Pillar wallet demo looks awesome. Main user Interface seems so comfortable and easy to use. I expect David Seagel will show us something special on February 16 , like one-click safe and secure real time transactions between two different mobile devices.

PILLAR has been added to Cryptocoinsinfo (https://www.cryptocoinsinfo.com/token/pillar/pillar-plr/)!

Live data - Exchanges - Market Cap - Circulating Supply - Single Exchange Trading Volume
48h Snapshot - Token Specifications - White Paper - Social Media - PILLAR News

And... of course... comparison with other ERC20 Token.

Looking forward to the live Pillar Wallet Demo on Feb 16th, 5 PM GMT! Good luck!

Just 6 hours left, until updated PillarDemo  will be shown. Also they are planning to introduce new exchanges, show recently hired team members. The show will be held at  5pm UK time Friday. Don`t miss it.

https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/16227/301021

Does anyone know how long it will take the circulating supply of tokens to be increased to the max supply?

For those who missed  Pillar online LIVE Meeting on February 16th. On my opinion, this meeting was much more interesting than previous one. This is the 1 part of live meeting, mainly showing the functionality. The 2 part will be released on middle of march, showing us the User Interface.

Current state of the project:

Team - 41
Volunteers - 20
Code Base - 18 000 lines!

Good time to buy some Pillar.. Its below $1.. Not sure why but damn.. get some Pillar..

Well, the fact that team wont bother about exchanges - bad news for holders. Cant really see now how PLR could outplay BTC movements in a few month, so probably gonna sell it.

He is saying the same thing again. Wont try hard to hit big exchanges, so we should wait for Pillar wallet to release. Btw when will this release happen?

If you are from Lithuania, don`t miss Blockchain Centre Vilnius event. Next Tuesday, on 27 of February David Siegel, CEO of Pillar Project  will arrive, to hire new talents and present project before the local entrepreneurs.

"David Siegel, CEO of 20|30 and the Pillar Project has been at the forefront of technology and venture investing for 30 years. He has written five books about technology and business. In 2016, he was a candidate to be the dean of Stanford business school. He is an expert on blockchain, future technologies, angel investing, and startups. He will be accompanied by Vitor Py, CTO, who will be able to talk more about wallet's architecture and the way dev team is working on wallet's code."

It is a good time to buy some PLR at a cheap price, i did not even imagine that David had written five books and has such deep professional background.

LT Pillar Vilnius MeetUp with David & Vitor

Vilnius Summer Event - #PillarUnconference 2018
We will have our big conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, July 15th-22nd, at the Vilnius Grand Resort and Spa. In fact, Malwina, Constance, and I are there right now looking at the facilities and planning the agenda. You’ll pay for your flight, hotel, and meals, and we’ll pay for the conference and the big Friday party event. You’ll also get a special Vilnius Pillar t-shirt.


This will be an unconference - we’ll be making it up as we go. It works far better than planning an agenda. If you want to contribute anything, come prepared. Our first goal is to get people signed up, so we have commitments and can make all our arrangements in Vilnius. Then we’ll work on how you can get involved as a speaker, workshop leader, staff, etc.
There will be three main tracks: entrepreneurship, developing for our platform, and music.
 
👔 The entrepreneur track will have two parts: my business-agility lectures, which will take place each morning first thing, then we’ll be working with entrepreneurs to build their businesses on the Pillar wallet. This first year, the wallet will be similar to eBay, so we’ll be working with teams who want to put products and services onto the wallet. We are looking for our Pillar pioneers - people who are serious about building a business on top of our wallet. We’ll be talking about all the developments coming up and how you can participate in our new ecosystem.

💻 The developer track will be learning about our SDK and how to put products and services on the wallet. We will have workshops on our taxonomy, findability, formats, APIs, coding, and smart contracts. Whether you learn or teach, it should be a fun and fruitful week.

🎶 The music festival is for you to bring your instruments and your talent and make it even more fun. We want the Pillar summer event to be the Woodstock of the crypto world. So if you have a band, a show, or you can entertain people in any way, please jump into the Summer Event 2018 channel in our online community and help us plan an amazing event! We need people to help us make this work, so if you are on the production side, you are more than welcome to get involved. It’s an unconference. It’s also a music unfestival.
Every one of our events is always a hiring event. If you want a job with Pillar, I encourage you to come to Vilnius and participate - we don’t interview!

For Families 👪
We will have a kids’ camp option as a separate package. We’re working on that now. The resort has a lot of things to do, and we’ll be organizing various bus tours to town and to surrounding sights. We’ll also have shuttle buses going into and out of town continuously.
 
Golf Packages 🏌
The resort offers a championship-level golf course. Since we’re taking over the event and since not that many of us play golf, our golfers should have good access. If you want to volunteer to help us set up golf, foursomes, etc., please contact me.
 
The Pillar Store 👕
We are working with volunteers to plan a Pillar products store for this event. If you want to help with that, please let us know.
 
Events with the Lithuanian Community 📍
We’ll be interacting heavily with the local tech/blockchain/crypto community. Pillar project has a small office in Vilnius. We are planning to do workshops with local entrepreneurs, educators, and government officials.

Excursion to St Petersburg 🛫
We will offer an additional one-week trip to St Petersburg, Russia, leaving Vilnius on Sunday the 22nd and allowing you to return home after 4-5 nights. St Petersburg is a must-see destination, and end of July is one of the best times of year to be there. I highly recommend this trip. And, because it’s not put together, I’m asking if any volunteers can help us arrange it. Russian-speakers and those who have connections to St Petersburg are encouraged to contact me.

Pillar Contest & Roadmaps for 2018 - David Siegel & Tijo Chat

Pillar is one of those business and ethos projects we see that align with what we are working on and see evolving in the space as well. Altruistic and dreamers will create the future together. From roadmaps, legislation and developments David and I share our thoughts on this evolving space.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYA4Eek21O4

Get to know Pillars HOW.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDafz2fMY88&feature=push-sd&attr_tag=k0kNDp-OOI4WltT6-6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDafz2fMY88&feature=push-sd&attr_tag=k0kNDp-OOI4WltT6-6)

Hello, is your wallet ERC20 compatible? Thanks  ;)

Yeah I saw this video, really liked it. I do wonder though with projects like Pillar what is going to happen to the ethos in the years ahead. Assuming everything goes to plan what happens in 5 years when Pillar is a multi billion dollar company, has offices all around the world with thousands of employees. Will some of these crypto companies become the next corporate giants like Amazon, Apple, Google or Facebook. I'm not suggesting Pillar will but perhaps its something that needs to be discussed. How will these companies keep the ethos as they evolve.

How does the #PillarUnconference work? | Pillar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDPt5BrgT74 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDPt5BrgT74)

Sure ! They are used as ERC-20 and smartcontract

Few coins are incompatible with Erc20 now, which is very convenient for us, and changing him will let us do nothing.

How are things with ERC223 tokens, whether they will be supported by Pillar wallet? Have you closed already Beta Testing Program, or this is some kind of error with google forms? It's only been two days from this form posting, it looks like i missed the opportunity to join testing.

#PillarUpdate - March 6th 2018: Beta testing launch | Pillar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRq3XWJrO9Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRq3XWJrO9Q)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRq3XWJrO9Q            ill be looking forward to watch it,lets watch it guys,will see how is it?hope this project will give us more surprice update ;)

One could not accuse a team for the low Pillar prices. They're just doing what they can to move on. They are participating in Blockchain conferences: Amsterdam, Vilnius, actively hiring new staff members/developers. It`s just bearish times on a market, that has to be go through. It is one of the few fully transparent projects in blockchain business, and at this time it`s an excellent buying opportunity.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*jKTMOo_XOegjMQMdLx-2UQ.png

Several months ago, I published the first Pillar Wallet Roadmap, with the caveat that this was a general direction, not a specific promise. We’re building the foundation for the personal data locker, to realize our dream of data sovereignty and personal empowerment. Now that we have more information, it’s time for an update. This new roadmap is influenced by the speed of our development and by regulation.

THE SPEED OF OUR DEVELOPMENT has not been as great or as agile as I would like. We hire for joy and culture fit; we’re self-managed; and we require people to be in our offices rather than working remotely. We have happy people, but we haven’t been as productive as we had hoped. Our goal has always been to go to a Kanban system to run the office, and we’ve just been starting that lately. I take full responsibility for the fact that we don’t have a wallet ready by the end of Q1. On the other hand, we’ve added many features that other wallets don’t have, and if it takes a few months longer than I predicted last June, I’m not too worried. I don’t watch the price of our token. I don’t watch the calendar. I watch our ability to change the world with a new operating system. By summer, we should have a very strong platform, and those who come to our big event in Vilnius will learn that the Pillar wallet will be a place where you can put your data and trust it, where you can set up your business and serve customers, where you can have your equity token sale and know you’ll be fully compliant with all laws, and where future developers create new things that have never existed, all without advertising or large organizations having any control or influence. We’ve written over 20,000 lines of code, and as you’ll see below we’ll be going into testing fairly soon.

THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION has recently started to take large-scale action, stating that exchanges that trade securities must be regulated. The message, while stern and significant, is still unclear. Last week, Poloniex, in being acquired by Circle, said they intend to register as a fully regulated exchange. Bittrex has said they will continue to determine which tokens are utility tokens and allow them to trade. GDAX is probably too far out over their skis, saying they will continue to get around regulations by calling tokens utilities. The SEC has also published a guide for consumers, pointing out the risks but again failing to educate the public about the difference between risk and exposure. While we hope cool heads prevail, we may well be at the top of a very slippery regulatory slope.

I’ll break this down briefly: 1) SEC chairman Jay Clayton says that almost all tokens meet the definition for securities because they are fixed in number, allowing them to appreciate and attracting speculators. 2) Many so-called security tokens have already been sold, but very few can restrict their flow, so it’s fairly easy for an accredited investor to buy a token from an issuer and then sell that same token to a non-accredited student in Wichita. 3) Millions of tokens are already in the hands of Americans, so just regulating issuers and exchanges doesn’t put all the milk back in the bottle. In fact, clamping down on those extant tokens will surely cause millions of small American investors to lose money, which could be another possible pain point for the SEC. I can imagine the SEC is wondering how to strike a reasonable balance.

Pillar youtube update

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84WtfIq0RWw&feature=push-u&attr_tag=4gvz2ZQHWN8T5BWi-6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84WtfIq0RWw&feature=push-u&attr_tag=4gvz2ZQHWN8T5BWi-6)

David Siegel saying repeatedly that he is not worrying at all about the price. With all due respect, price is a very important factor for investors, this cannot be neglected. Early participants should be able to sell part of their tokens to other market players, make profit on it, and take part in other blockchain projects. Pillar project is great, but there are other sectors, which are also waiting for cash infusions.

I can see both viewpoints but at the end of the day they have yet to deliver a working wallet which is when the value add begins.. :)

I think this wallet wont make any difference. Look at how many other wallets are coming out. Competition is really huge. And I dont see how Pillar Wallet can make it. Can anyone tell me I am wrong?

I`m afraid about this competition too. There was finest hour for Pillar wallet 2 months ago, the price was on it`s peak and expectations for Q1 2018 also were very high.Now, almost every 2nd ICO project has it`s own integrated wallet and ecosystem, hope Pillar` solution will be better and more convenient for customers.

Don`t forget, this Friday, Mar 30th, 5 PM UK time will be a Pillar Demo Day

Looking forward to this demo. If there will be any word about "we dont give a damn about exchanges" again we can say goodbye to our high price hopes I guess.

Pillar Wallet FINAL Live Demo | Pillar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyz8KLFmWAQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyz8KLFmWAQ)

Like all of you guys, i was very disappointed about recent Pillar fast price decline. But after viewing latest Pillar Demo, where David showed Tesla stocks chart, it seems i understood something new about market psychology. Pillar team members are working, they are opened as much as it possible, they speak in a language of product development: with use of BDD, and other terminology. I was learning as QA Engeneer, and i can tell you, people, this guys know something about product development, much more than i saw in other AMA videos, where managers just smiling to us, and talking abstractly.

Yes, Pillar investors lost US market because of paperwork, for a while, but look at this demo, at this cards concept, this is amazing, Pillar will be huge.

There is no positive movement with this coin and I can't figure out why. Why is this project failing? I hope things get better. Bought in @.20, back to ground zero

From my perspective its mainly due to the fact its in only a few exchanges and it still has no usable public wallet. That will change in the coming months with a usable wallet release.

I really hope that this coin can grow rapidly, because I see that this coin is very promising for a long time, after the coin is widely known to the public.

I hope so too, although now the rate is very low, I still try to buy some more despite the fact, - I have to organize my trips completely on their own and I'm always wrong with the budget, it is not so nice sometimes to touch my bitcoins, in this difficult period of time, but nothing to do when it comes to the need to pay for additional transportation costs, my cash quickly come to an end.

You guys are talkgin about price goes down. But why would it go up really? So many competitors out there.

Just look at Ethos! How Pillar wallet can beat it?! And it will be released by the end of this month!

I really dont see how this thing can survive. I was in from the ICO, but I sold the whole bag when price went down to 6700 satoshi.

I will change my mind and buy the dip if someone can really explain me why is it worth it. Im still watching on this thing every single day, cause I was in for too long.

when is the wallet going to be released?
i read somewhere that will be  around June, is this info valid?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6i32aCbnoz6ceS8i2UZR6w/videos

I found only this channel with short marketing promo videos.

Product development is a quite long way, i`d better stay here to see on real existing wallet, Pillar wallet.

If 80% ico are scums, i can suppose Pillar is not one of them, for sure. Look at their faces, they looks like real team. If someone works harder than Pillar, alright, please show the final result.

"By their fruit you will recognize them."

Wow...

1. Here is ETHOS: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethos/. 77 on CMC. Right at the place where the Pillar was not long time ago.
2. Here is the team: https://www.ethos.io/team/. Have no idea how it can be difficult to find it. Its right on their official site.
3. And again. Their wallet will be ready by the end of this month.
4. You can look at it btw. 30 mins demo righ there, on that channel you found!

Its really funny when you are talking about "real existing Pillar wallet" here tho.

Good project! I want to ask about the price

You are lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology that's why you are saying those words because you are not believing. I suggest you pull out your money then do your own search very well then after that decide again if you still want to invest here in crypto world.

Why should the Internet avoid data concentration in some exclusive platforms? Because a detailed explanation can make it easier to understand and study an article.

In the last interview David Siegel revealed that they build 2 versions of their wallet: for corporation and personal usage.

First fully regulated wallet is designed for equity tokens and securities holding.

The second one is for ordinary client purposes and exchange operations.

Thus they are working in few directions, which makes company more flexible and sustained comparing with competitive products.

How I can get its wallet ???
Did you publish it?

There is a lot of information in the Internet now.
and many of it are not always important and need more information.
It's worth learning to filter it, and do not throw the sites out for success.

Will the data locker provide any barriers or security against NSA surveillance?

The price and volume of this project continues to sink.  When are new exchanges being brought to the table.  There are lots of conferences, but it seems like this project has become an afterthought.  Not sure how else it can be viewed with a price that has fallen month after month and super-low volume.

Anyone home? 

This is not the place to contact the Pillar crew, you need to contact them via their website.. If you don't like the price sell as i'm sure people would be happy to pick up your tokens at a cheap price.

how are you with this token, it looks like there are already some projects that want to work with pillars to become a duet in crypto

David Siegel, CEO of the Pillar Project, gave a keynote on Blockchain Technology and Tokenomics at the London City Hall.

For the recent days Pillar price shows signs of recovery and we can see forming uptrend or at least end of falling. A lot of youtube vloggers mentioned pillar in 2017, as one of disruptive coins in blockchain industry, finally we will be able to see real Pillar price after product release in Q4 2018.

Utility Tokens vs Security Tokens
I've asked Tomer Sofinzon to explain once and for all the difference between a utility token - like the Pillar Token - and a security token. Turns out it's pretty simple to understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azkw4vaHnuQ&feature=youtu.be
