If you need russian translation let me know, thanks 

We've got a russian translation  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2143200.msg21438531#msg21438531)already, but thanks.

Reserving Philippines  Filipino translation if needed ..

Best regards,
saichou

I could help with the Chinese translations.
Tell me if needed :) :)

Giving some real identity is the most crucial way in building trust in anything.
With this project that will give an Anti Counterfeit platform, will be a good choice to at least minimizing any counterfeit issue.

this is a very good idea, it will be a project that can stabilize the market price, I'm very impressed with the concept you have, even though your mission is not easy, I see professional team there, hope you can do it, good luck

Thank you! Yeah, we feel that price fluidity is a limiting factor for most material blockchain applications out there. It's impossible to plan for in the long term and thus requires extensive risk management. We want to have a product that's easy to plan around for any big business out there, so we designed a method to limit the price spikes.

very ambitious"yes" over ambitious? "very possibly" to launch this i wouldn't bite off more then one can chew! stating the simple and possible intentions is better then over stating something making it look like a used car salesman!

Just read the post, and it catch my interest in this project.
This has a good concept, if this work then it will significantly reduce lots of counterfeit platform, that often makes peoples making wrong choice when choosing it.

it is a great project that wants to create a quality platform for business.
concepts, goals, plans and teams that look really good.
hopefully this project is very useful.

hi maybe you need indonesian translator, i am in ready.

Please accept our sincere  appreciation for your interest!
Stay tuned and do not hesitate to let us know if you require any other information)

The new ICO is the new platform I see here looks quite interesting, maybe this one can take off with a good DEV support team Can not wait to see more in the future ...

Is the product label signed with a private key?

Hi will you do bounty programs? I think many would like to participate. :) :)

Stored all on a "Centralised database" lol. No thanks!

That's what a prototype would be developed on to allow us start integration with producers as soon as possible, before we even release our blockchain solution. Beta and beyond would most likely be Graphene-based unless a better framework presents itself. It's mentioned in the roadmap and explained in more details in out white paper.

No hardcap as I understand from whitepaper?

Yes, it's signed with a private key that's controlled by a brand owner so you can be sure that product information is authentic.

There will be a natural hardcap: we have a limited amount of tokens to sell (7mln at most) and the price of a single token is within a set price bracket. We will explain in more details later but there will definetely be a hardcap.

During the pre-ICO we want to focus on matters more pressing. We are contemplating bounty campaign for the ICO but it's still in the air.

Sale of tokens only for ETH? When to start sales?

Hello, preICO is scheduled for the 2nd half of September. We will announce the exact date soon. You will be able to get Digmus tokens for ETH and BTC.

Roger! Do you have an account in reddit? I think there may be interested in the project.

This is a cool concept, but what distinguishes it from similar ones?

There are no projects exactly like ours, though there are projects with the same end goal. Given the severity of fake goods problem (esp. fake drugs) this is unsurprising. We have learned from experiences of our predecessors and there’ll be a comprehensive article comparing features and weak spots of our solutions.

Cool team and project. Are you focused only on the pharmaceutical business?

How do you plan to solve the problem of rivalry in similar sphere of trade?

We are not. There's a lot of pain about fake drugs in the world but it's not the only industry suffering.

Sorry, I don't quite get what do you mean here.

I mean that the companies which are doing the same products may not be agree to join your project.

Why Digmus is useful?

Digmus helps both customers and manufactures to fight fakes.

Digmus gives to customers:
- Extra information about product
- Instant way to check the product authenticity
- Ability to register the purchase

Digmus offers to manufactures:
- Additional, independent way to connect with a customer
- Reputation protection
- Preservation of profit
- Care for consumers
- Extra information about purchases

Some of them will not, some of them will. We will carefully choose with whom we are going to partner up.

"Pretty good" answer. 50/50 to parner or not. and no any garantees.

I'm not sure that such a design is suitable for such an application  ;D ;D ;D

Nice idea! Good Luck! ;)

I think the project is useful!

When is the start?  :D

End of September, most likely.

We updated our WP (https://digmus.io/wp/Digmus_WP_EN.pdf). Read, learn and ask questions about Digmus.

Telegram chat: https://t.me/Digmus (https://t.me/Digmus)

interesting project, who will digmus be targeting primarily? and at which layer of the value chain

We're thinking pharma and electronics because that's where the money is, also luxury and premium goods because it's where rapid adoption is more likely. Digmus is most useful for marketing and customer communication link of value chain, though it could provide some value to logistics too.

that's more logical for short term, but i think you can expand more than that in long term road map, 300 partners at August 2021 just from Pharmaceuticals,Consumer electronics, and Luxury goods can expand more and more
is pre-ICO already finished?
if not, how can we join pre-ICO?
any bounty for this project dev?

We certainly hope you are right in that regard!

Pre-ICO will start in a few weeks. We are not doing bounty for the pre-ICO but we are contemplating one for the ICO proper.

Our future plans are ambitious. Join us!

• November 2017: ICO + Product prototype using a centralized database
• January 2018: Test launch with partners
• June 2018: Blockchain-based beta version and issuing of GEN currency
• September 2018: Full integration for certain product categories for partners
• February 2019: 100,000 product units are being registered in system monthly. SAP integration
• September 2019: 100 partners use our system
• September 2020: Number of partners using our system increases to 200. 4 million product units are registered in the system monthly. Blockchain is updated for better scaling through blockchain upgrade
• September 2021: 300 partners. 30 million product units being registered a month

Learn more about the Digmus project and get answers to your questions in chat: https://t.me/Digmus

Thanks for the info. The project looks very ambitious! Is there a way to receive the updates about pre-ICO/ICO exact timing?

There's a subscription section at the top of our website, you can leave your email there to get the latest project updates. https://digmus.io

Correct me if I'm wrong, but could fully open database possibly lead to industrial cross espionage?

The only thing you can do to spy on a competitor is to count the number of product groups. You can do it absolutely legal just by going to their store or website. All product data will be encrypted.

Why is no one seeing this project ? It could be one of the next big thing

Thank you Dave, we do appreciate your attention
Please feel free to ask any related questions

When do you plan to release the DGM tokens?

Token emission is planned to start right after the ICO, when the final audit is done

All right, and when the tokens can be sold at stock exchange?

As soon as possible after the token generating event, we have already started the negotiations with some of stock exchanges

I hope you the best of lucks with your project, the idea looks really promising! I will keep a close look

Here are our bitcointalk account names, so you can adress the questions directly, and know who is replying to your post:

You can also find them anytime in team description at the start of this thread.

Should there be any unsold tokens? What will you do to them? Burn them? Share amongst investors?

All unsold tokens will be “burned” (destroyed), as well as a proportional share of tokens that will never be for sale (the ones divided between the team,
initial investors, and the development fund).

We hope that there won't be any unsold tokens.

Please give us some numbers

For the ICO we will be selling Digmus tokens (DGM).
The total amount of such tokens issued will be 10,000,000, with 7,000,000 being up for sale, 1,000,000 being divided between the team and
initial investors, and 2,000,000 more being stored in the Digmus development fund.

All unsold tokens will be “burned”, as well as a proportional share of 3,000,000 tokens that will never be for sale.

For example, if the total amount of Digmus tokens sold is 3,500,000, then the development fund will receive 1,000,000 tokens, with the team and investors share equal to a combined 500,000 tokens. Thus, under any scenario, ICO and pre-ICO participants will hold a 70% share of Digmus tokens.

ok thanks!

I would really like to be a programmer or database specialist to fully understand how it all works. Looks promising, keep going!

If you have any Digmus related questions - ask me or any specialist from our team.


There are also English and Russian telegram chanels where you can reach us:

https://t.me/Digmus
https://t.me/Digmus_Ru

Hello Digmus
Please clarify what kind of product data do you plan to store in blockchain?

The blockchain contains the following data:

• Manufacturer data signed with the root certificate: company name, link to logo, public key certificate
• Product data signed with the manufacturer’s certificate: model name, link to description*, photos and/or videos*
• Individual product unit data signed with the manufacturer’s certificate: product class, unique code hash, purchase verification public key*, predicted sales region*, history of movement known to the manufacturer (up to the retailer’s address)

* optional

Oh so the customer can't verify EVERY purchased product? Only the ones with "purchase verification public key"?

We have different levels of product protection, so the partner can choose the one which is required. There's no need for registration if we are talking about mass production of value segment products, but it is necessery in case of expensive ones.

Any further updates as to when the pre-ICO starts?

pre-ICO starts at 12'th of October. You can subscribe for our latest news at our website https://digmus.io and receive an email right before the start!

So in 9 days Digmus will be releasing the Pre-ICO for sale. How do I participate? What wallets do I need to have prepared to buy in and what's the process of buying going to be like?

I can see this project is promising.
Let's make this project successful. :D

We're doing a personal page for each participant with individual BTC and ETH addresses, where you can send btc/eth from any source, even from exchanges. Much like Everex had done, if you have taken part in it

Just went through your white paper again. Indeed, great job guys! looks like it could blow up totally.
Cant wait for the token sale. amazing project! Fingers crossed!

Thank you rahleurfan! You can always find us in Digmus telegram chat https://t.me/Digmus (https://t.me/Digmus) where we discuss all kinds of related questions.

Does your technology work with RFID tags?

Yes, it does work with NFC tags

So how much do you plan to raise?

We'll have a softcap of $500k, a goal of $3mln and a hardcap of $10mln
Our roadmap assumes that US$1 million is collected for the ICO. An amount less than this will significantly decrease the speed at which partners are attracted, as well as put the beta-version implementation date for blockchain and SAP integration behind schedule. While an amount over this will not significantly affect development speed, it will allow for more active system promotion, increasing the quantity of partners.

Tell me, is it possible that your project will be able to compete with a huge monopoly?

There might emerge local gouvernment-enforced monopolies on our market (there are none yet to our knowledge). On the global market there won't ever be one.

We are ready for competition either way

This project must have a super advance program algorithm to detect what is fake and what is facts. Very interesting I must say. Keeping an eye on this one.

Thank you jwiz168! We do appreciate your interest in our project. Please feel free to ask any Digmus related questions in our telegram channel: https://t.me/Digmus (https://t.me/Digmus)

Will there be a token swap?

It is likely there will be a swap of erc20 tokens bought on ICO to native digmus network tokens.
There may be a technical solution that will allow us to use erc20 tokens in our network without swapping but it's cumbersome and untested, so no promises

Makes sense, thanks!

In which exchange will it be listed?

Negotiations with Binance, Liqui, Bitfinex, Tidex are in progress

Can someone tell me how much the pre-ICO price was?

The pre-ICO hasn't even started yet.
You can get 300 tokens for 1 ETH during the pre-ICO. 300000 tokens will be sold. The event starts 12'th of October.

seems nice project.
looking forward to it.

thanks for sharing this thread with us.

Thanks for your interest! You can always find us, and ask any related questions in Digmus telegram channel https://t.me/Digmus (https://t.me/Digmus)

Did you hear about EMC Antifake?

Yeah, we know about them. One of our competitors: they have an EmerCoin blockchain based project, but with seller authenticity verification at customer side, and at the same time no distribution history stored in blockchain.
So that means that we are ready for the competition

Good news everyone! An interview for theinvestzone.com portal with CEO of Digmus Mikhail Nazaruk just came out:

https://www.theinvestzone.com/2017/10/06/an-interview-with-mikhail-nazaruk-of-ico-digmus/ (https://www.theinvestzone.com/2017/10/06/an-interview-with-mikhail-nazaruk-of-ico-digmus/)

Multiple questions about upcoming pre-ICO and ICO have been answered. Please take a closer look

That's an interesting info coz I didn't know about the 4T rule, sounds useful to me. Thanks!

We are really glad that you found it useful! You can apply it to Digmus and check the team, tech, token and terms of the project to be 100% before the investment!

What is the minimum deposit amount on pre-ICO?

It's 1 ETH.

You can get 300 tokens for 1 ETH during the pre-ICO. 300000 tokens will be sold. The event starts 12'th of October.

I like projects that are innovative such as this . But I can't further join the discussion on Telegram because of country-defined restriction it is implementing unlike slack which is open to all . I am satisfied with infos spreading on BTT channel.

Just a couple of days left before the start of Digmus pre-ICO!

Please make sure you subscribed to our latest updates on Digmus website https://digmus.io (https://digmus.io) to be the first ones who knows about token sales start!

Do you accept btc or just eth?

We accept both ETH and BTC. Minimal purchase is 1 ETH (300 DGM tokens) or 0.1 BTC (390 DGM tokens).

yeah thanks, found that info at your website

Hoping and wishing that this project goes BIG, because I am definitely going to participate in this ICO! Good luck guys!

Good news everyone! NXP Russia provided us a set of NFC chips with built-in cryptography to test them together with our demo applications for iOS and Android. It still may be too early to draw conclusions, but we think that the integration of such technology will help us to create some sensible problems for most of the forgers!

Thanks KryptonS!
We will keep you informed!

So on which blockchain will Digmus be based?

A custom graphene based one, to keep transaction cost lower

What's the planned price of the transaction?

Around US$0.05 per life cycle of an item

Actually this is a good price for THAT kind of product protection. Keeping an eye on you guys, fingers crossed

Reserving Russian translation
Please PM if needed

Thank you for the offer BitMonkey, but most of our team are from Russia so we already have a Russian translation.

So why do you use blockchain in a first place? Usual database could handle it

The use of a blockchain repository instead of a centralized database is predicated on two objectives. First, a blockchain is something consumers and manufacturers are more likely to trust. Second, it allows us to create the investment system described later in this document, where the issued token value is directly linked to our success in the market.

Trust idea! Translation Vietnamese?

Thanks for your interest duongtien86! The bounty program is not out yet, we definitely will contact you later if Vietnamese translation is needed.

What's the exact time of the start?

It's in about 18 hours from now, you can see the countdown at our website https://digmus.io (https://digmus.io)

How do I participate in your pre-ICO?

Pre-ICO starts in about 15 hours.
Right after the start you will be able to perform the following action plan and purchase Digmus tokens (DGM)

- Register on https://ico.digmus.io/ (https://ico.digmus.io/) website
- Convert money to a cryptocurrency (BTC or ETH as you wish)
- Send the cryptocurrency to one of the wallets (BTC or ETH respectively) listed in your personal page on https://ico.digmus.io/ (https://ico.digmus.io/)

I didn't get the difference between DGM and GEN, please explain   ???

Digmus tokens (DGM) represent a share in the Digmus currency (GEN) emission. In the case of any such currency emission, the GEN balance of token owners will be increased in proportion to their share of DGM tokens. The emission will be managed in such a way as to insure a hard price cap for GEN coins.

Hello everyone!

We are happy to announce that our pre-ICO has just started!

During the pre-ICO you can purchase the DGM tokens with 48% discount. Minimal amount is 1 ETH or 0.1BTC

Here's a quick action plan that will help you to join the event: https://goo.gl/ov6tVc (https://goo.gl/ov6tVc)

Thanks! What's the price for one GEN?

At this point we consider $0.05 per product unit lifetime to be a reasonable expense, and very low compared to potential losses due to counterfeit trade, but this amount may need to be adjusted later.

are there any signed partners?

Negotiations with the first partners are in progress. We will announce it right after it's done
We will make the announcement of the partnersip as big as possible, so all the interested people could notice

Can you disclose any names?

Right now we aren't ready to disclose any names, but our target industries are auto chemical and oil ones. We are trying to push the process, but the companies are big and it brings up some consequences

Yeah, all right, I understand that. Wish you good luck guys!

How much was the pre-ICO price?

Digmus pre-ICO is still in progress, you can purchase the DGM tokens with 48% discount. Minimal amount is 1 ETH or 0.1BTC

Only ETC or BTC?

Both ETH and BTC. You can transfer the cryptocurrency to one of the wallets listed in your personal page on https://ico.digmus.io/ (https://ico.digmus.io/)

Good news eveyone!
Our CEO Mikhail Nazaruk gave an interview to theinvestzone portal

Please take a look following the link below:
https://www.theinvestzone.com/2017/10/06/an-interview-with-mikhail-nazaruk-of-ico-digmus

This might be amazing, but it requires all the commitment and dedication required to succeed

While all the responsible executives are busy with investor negotiations and tactic maneuvering, we have good news for you! A local manufacturer of designer furniture, took an interest in the Digmus platform and was the first one to sign an agreement with us. Digmus in their case is supposed to be utilized together with NFC tags.

http://telegra.ph/Good-news-from-Digmus-10-16 (http://telegra.ph/Good-news-from-Digmus-10-16)

Commitment and dedication you said? We have both of them!  8)

Will the tag be embedded right to the the product?

Yep, right into the furniture. That's the most officient way to protect the item, even from the situation where forger wants to place the counterfiet item into original package

Ohh seems legit
It's kinda simple and useful at the same time

and cheep also

Maybe it's too early, but I would like to reserve a Hungarian translation

Thanks for the initiative, CryptoGir! We will create a separate Bounty bitcointalk thread soon, please keep an eye on our updates

Please give me the list of languages you need to translate your documents to, and I will

Sorry, but we assume that one unique person can participate in one translation, because we really do appreciate if the translator is a native speaker

This project looks good. Maybe it would be wise to stick with just 1 industry suffering from counterfeiting as a beginning where the dev team could learn more about their own product and get a good sense of what they need to do.
Is there a date for the beginning of the ICO?
Exchanges that would list the coin?
Any plans on how the customer acquisition will be handled by the dev team?
Any marketing/acquisition budgets?
Any plans on transparency of the inner workings of the dev team and some plan for giving constant updates on the development of the project?

Yeah, sounds a reasonable move to start from one industry. The "learn more about their own product" step should happen during the implimentation the system to a first customer's bysiness. Also the negotiations with some of the counterfeit-concerned companies are in progress, and most of them do represent different industries.

24 November 2017

We plan to go to the exchange right after the token emission. Negotiations with Binance, Liqui, Bitfinex, Tidex are in progress

Business customer acquisition will be done through personal contact and expo participations. As for mobile app, we will be working on it in concert with our business partners marketing teams, as they would have better grasp on their client's demographics and they would be just as interested on a new anticountetfeit feature promotion as we are.

Digmus platform has two types of customers: manufacturers of goods and their customers. So there will be two different approach to those target groups defined by their nature. To attract manufacturers (or producers) we would go for rather standard B2B scheme: F2F negotiations and participation in relevant events and meetings. To reach their customers our main aim is to create sustainable partnership with manufacturers’ marketing departments to better understand their target audience and not to affect negatively their brand image.

If you are interested in technical details - you can always ask any question in our telegram channel https://t.me/digmus (https://t.me/digmus), all related people are in there including the dev team

Thanks for these replies, sir! Love to see a dev team giving straight up replies and not dodging questions left and right with political replies.

It's a common way to do the translation, okay

Can you please explain what exactly the certification center does?

The certification center is controlled by Digmus and works with brand requests for system
certificates. The certification center:

• Checks the ownership of the trademark.
• Prevents similar copycat trademarks.
• Revokes compromised certificates.

If you have any related questions - please join us here: https://t.me/digmus (https://t.me/digmus)

Thanks!

So why do you even need a blockchain based db?

The use of a blockchain repository instead of a centralized database is predicated on two objectives. First, a blockchain is something consumers and manufacturers are more likely to trust. Second, it allows us to create the investment system described later in this document, where the issued token value is directly linked to our success in the market.

Curious project. What algorithms do you use to determine what fake, and what fact?

Our solution has four components:

 - A certificate center to check brand authenticity and issue electronic signature certificates
 - A blockchain-based database storing product information and additional data to verify authenticity
 - A mobile app that verifies the product by scanning the QR code or NFC tag (distribution chain data inside)
 - Software that integrates with automation systems from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and others.

Can you please reveal some more info about the app? Any functions maybe? Do you have a prototype?

Will the workings of this process be known to the community?

First few certifications will be done on case by case basis. When we actually need a streamlined process, we intend to make it public knowledge.

Any info please?

The mobile application will have the following features:

 - Scanning of QR codes or NFC tags with unique product codes
 - Checking product information and displaying verification results: whether the blockchain has the unique code hash, which product it corresponds to, determining if that product has already been sold, browsing the product description, photos and video of the product and/or its packaging, distributor information up to the retailer it is slated to be sold at (dependent on information provided by the manufacturer)
 - Scanning of a secret unique purchase code to confirm the purchase
 - Informing the manufacturer of possible forgery
 - Sharing the purchase on social networks.

Greetings!
We would like to inform you that due to some technical issues at the start, we decided to extend the pre-ICO till the end of the week, 11:00 Moscow time (8:00 UTC), Oct'23 to be precise. Till the end of that period you have an apportunity to purchase the DGM tokens with a 48% discount. We will keep you informed!

Is there an iOS versin?

Work on iOS version of the prototype is in progress. We'll make an official announcement when it's done

What kind of wallet you recommend to contribute from?

For contributing you're fine with any wallet or exchange and standard gas amount/gas price.  To manage your tokens you'll need a wallet capable of that, e.g. MyEtherWallet

Here's an interesting article about Comparison of different anti-counterfeit measures: the advantages of Digmus.

Whose interests were previously taken into account by the developers of most anti-counterfeit measures? Those of all market participants except for consumers. However, consumers are mostly interested in the purchase of an original item of a well-known brand. Digmus team offers its own solution to fight the forgery industry that is based on direct communication of producers and consumers.

Is there a pre-sale campaign now?
Is it possible to participate in it?

Yeah the pre-ICO is still in progress

Sharing the purchase on social networks you say? Next level of flexing hehe

Social media is a powerful marketing tool, so why don't use it to promote a broduct/brand?

Good job. Liked your project :)

Thanks Edw1maitland!

Good thing that geolocation check works! One step closer, well done guys!

Thanks BitMonkey!
Yeah, we totally agree with you. During the "report seller" procedure execution, geolocation is a very usefull information that customer can pass to a manufacturer.

And also to compare supposed sale location, provided by the manufacturer, with actual location where the authenticity check happened

Case by Digmus: does Facebook advertising work well for an ICO?
Our Facebook advertising campaign started off with an unpleasant surprise. The first day it was launched, Facebook blocked our ad account as the content didn’t comply with their internal policies.

Good job, guys! I respect when articles are based on real experiense

Great team with a good idea. Good luck, dev

The pre-ICO stage of our project has completed

Hi everyone! Today, the pre-ICO stage of our project has completed. During the pre-ICO we raised around 13 ethers and 1.25 bitcoins totally amounting to slightly over 10 000 dollars. It is considerably less than 100 thousand dollars we expected to have.

The situation is sobering but not critical: we are negotiating with investors to raise the required sum in a traditional way.

The funds we raised together with our savings will be enough to:
1. Pay for the development infrastructure.
2. Search for and conclude contacts with our first partners.
3. Develop a solution for partners with the help of the current team (who work for the sake of the idea).
4. Free/almost free marketing: bounty, roadshow, social media accounts.

With more significant investments we can afford:
1. Marketing costs (listings, retargeting, native ads, banners).
2. Team enlargement.

We’ll announce the ICO date after we sign our first agreements with target partners and conclude first deals with funds.

I have participated in the pre-ICO and would definitely participate in main sale event! Please keep me informed, good luck!

Thank you! We do appreciate your attention to our project!

Thanks Sergeykoran! You are always welcome in our telegram chat t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus)

Will alpha/beta be blockchain, or you guys will use a centralized database?

Announce the ICO already because I'm definitely putting some ETH into this!

First one will still be centralized, but in June 2018 we plan to lounch Blockchain-based beta version

Any agreements with social networks?

Do we need any? You can add a "share" button to whatever you want nowadays

have u updated on your website how many u sold so far?

What industries are interested in Digmus?

We had to break our heads over the presentation of this article. On the one hand, all investors who hear about Digmus from us want to know what kind of producers are negotiating the implementation of our system. On the other hand, we are playing a fair game and don’t want to name the brands until they authorize us to place their logo and mention them on our website.

Please read the whole article using the following link: https://medium.com/@MNazaruk/what-industries-are-interested-in-digmus-daef03d8c8c9 (https://medium.com/@MNazaruk/what-industries-are-interested-in-digmus-daef03d8c8c9)

Those WOODMOOD guys are truly innovative if they want to place a chip incide of their furniture

They want to protect their goods from forgers, that's the main reason  ;D ;D ;D

Wonderful idea! Keepin' an eye on you folks

it's on the main page of their website
a bit more than 10 grand

A couple of days ago, the pre-ICO stage of our project has completed. During the pre-ICO we raised around 13 ethers and 1.25 bitcoins totally amounting to slightly over 10 000 dollars. It is considerably less than 100 thousand dollars we expected to have.
The situation is sobering but not critical: we are negotiating with investors to raise the required sum in a traditional way.

thanks, will try your app
but NFC tag - only in the future, because now it is not so popular in shops.

Thanks for the testing, we do appreciate your participation.
As for the NFC tags: the technology is cheap, and at the same time tags are readable with any Android or iOS smartphone, so there's no need of additional tag-scanners. The future is now.

Did you use any kind of advertisement in telegram? Your channel is like... average, no disrespect

We advertised our project in four channels in this messenger.
- DeCenter, the largest cryptocurrency resource, over 60000 subscribers.
- “On Business” channel with over 30000 subscribers.
- Digital Eva blog channel  — a personal blog on digital marketing, over 10000 subscribers.
- Groks  — channel for digital geeks on marketing and technology, over 6000 subscribers.

We won’t reveal the price for advertising in each channel but it’s evident that it depends on the size of the channel.
We mentioned the exact figure in a different case — we spent around USD 2900 on advertising in Telegram.

What was the conversion rate?

We had to raise money for the pre-ICO, so we made calculations only for the e-mail campaign (and most of our pre-ICO investors were subscribed to it).
The results are as follows:
    DeCenter — 16 + 24 through direct visits — 40 subscribers
     On business — 7 subscribers.
     Digital Eva — just 1 subscriber.
     Groks — 2 subscribers.

50 ppl total? Will you continue doing it?

Thanks Esperanza-ninja! You are always welcome in our telegram chat: t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus) where all the team is

$10,000 is not a lot. Are you sure you can do with it what you just said here? Your idea isn't bad, but I feel there should have been more marketing effort.

Will Digmus use advertising in Telegram to generate subscribers for our ICO? 50 subscribers is rather good. However, considering that the cost of subscriber acquisition turned out to be huge, we now recommend using more affordable marketing tools and work directly with the target audience of big investors rather than engage in crowdfunding.

Nevertheless, smart promotion of Digmus in different chats as well as mailing of our articles in them certainly helps raise project awareness and attract new subscribers to our Telegram channel https://t.me/Digmus (https://t.me/Digmus)

We totally can do it, with that much of resources that we have. Most of the team works fueld by power of will and coffee, plus we still have some seed money left.

I love the way you guys dedicated to this project! Go big!

Thank you KingOfTheInternet! We do apreciate your attention. Nice nickname btw

Just read your whitepaper and didn't get if there will be a token swap?

Team photos look really weird, seem fishy. Idea is cool, and you have a demo, I'm really looking forward to ICO announcement, anyway.

Why do you think the photos are weird? Those people are IT specialists and businessmen, and not photo-models... you know, so it's ok for them to look a bit weird. There will be some more pics from a meetup this weekend, for you to be sure we really exist.

We'll share the info about the ICO as soon as possible

I was very excited about this project, I am absolutely sure of the success I am going to participate with you

It is likely there will be a swap of erc20 tokens bought on ICO to native digmus network tokens.

Thanks ibasatec! You are always welcome in our telegram channel t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus)

Man that alone deserves a lot of attention of a lot of people. I mean, I can only hope you are honest but your attitude is unprecedented in crypto...

Why don't you just use erc20 tokens in yor network?

There may be a technical solution that will allow us to use erc20 tokens in our network without swapping but it's cumbersome and untested, so no promises

Where are you from?

The team is international, but most of us are from Russia

Do you have a registered company? In what jurisdiction?

We plan to incorporate in Singapore.  Our development team will be distributed all around the globe, with a main office in Russia, and a network of representative offices in different countries of the world to work with local business.

Ok the concern is if that there will be any troule because of the crypto ban in russia or no?

There's no such thing as "crypto ban" in Russia
Right now we are choosing the jurisdiction and most likely it will be the Republic of Singapore, so if the ban in Russia would happen - it won't affect us anyhow

Hey guys, pls tell, does this kind of project have competitors?

Yeah your CTO took a shot in front of the Golden Gate bridge, so I was like: this guy should definitely be from SF

Thanks St.Ledger, we'll take a look

Sure, there is some competition.
Here's an article with detailed comparison:

Hello!
I'm looking for someone who I could contact regarding ICO advertising. Thank you!

Weekly report (October 23–29)

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*T_x8g5nUS8ADlHpwj9oBJQ.jpeg

We completed Pre-ICO and drafted a cost budget considering our available funds, we continue meeting with producers who are interested in system implementation. We’ve covered this issue a lot that’s why this report focuses on other things — MVP Digmus and our speech at Blockchain Meetup.

1. One of auto chemicals producers is already reviewing and validating technical specifications for system implementation. So, we’ve started tailoring MVP to a real business process.
2. This Saturday, our CEO Mikhail Nazaruk delivered a speech on Digmus at Blockchain Meetup in Rostov-on-Don.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*AFmRxvq-MRPNmely5WQZxQ.jpeg

Since the first summer Meetup, the number of participants has increased. The quality of questions asked has also improved. Certainly, there were standard questions like “Why do you need blockchain?” but in most cases the audience were interested in project details and in how it works — reading of chips, information on a product in a mobile app, etc. Everyone also inquired about details of a pre-ICO as during this Meetup the Digmus team was the only one that had already completed Pre-ICO.

"After the speech, we received nice feedback from one of the attendees. He said he had worked in counterfeit detection sphere for a long time and if Digmus manages to integrate itself into at least one industry, the company will certainly evolve."

As we’ve assumed, the format of a meetup and offline conferences is an efficient tool of communication with people who are interested in investing into an ICO but who are used to getting familiar with a project and a team in a way that is more traditional for the venture industry. After the Meetup one of the investors approached Mikhail. A meeting with him is scheduled for this week.

More photos from Rostov-am-Don ICO & Blockchain MeetUp: https://medium.com/@MNazaruk/rostov-am-don-ico-blockchain-meetup-photos-188c9fe73bb4 (https://medium.com/@MNazaruk/rostov-am-don-ico-blockchain-meetup-photos-188c9fe73bb4)

Hello!
Please check dm or contact us in official Digmus telegram channel: t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus)

Can't find any information regarding if any DGM tokens will be issued after the ICO?

The total amount of such tokens issued will be 10,000,000, with 6,700,000 being up for sale, 1,300,000 being divided between the team and initial investors, and 2,000,000 more being stored in the Digmus development fund. All unsold tokens will be “burned” (destroyed), as well as a proportional share of 3,300,000 tokens that will never be for sale.

There wont be any tokens issued after the ICO.

How much money do you plan to collect?

We'll have a softcap of $500k, a goal of $3mln and a hardcap of $10mln.

Our roadmap assumes that US$1 million is collected for the ICO. An amount less than this will significantly decrease the speed at which partners are attracted, as well as put the beta-version implementation date for blockchain and SAP integration behind schedule. While an amount over this will not significantly affect development speed, it will allow for more active system promotion, increasing the quantity of partners.

Do you have a bounty program?

If I don't have an ethereum wallet is it possible for me to participate in your ICO?

You will still need one to receive the DGM tokens

Do you already have some sort of pre-sale contributions or financial commitments from strategic investors?

Yeah we have some seed money from the initial investors, and right after the ICO some of the tokens will be distributed among them and the team.

We will release it soon. Please join our telegram chat to stay informed t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus)

Thanks klastospedestrian! We'll try to meet your expectations!

any further discounts for large buys?  ???

After the pre-ICO we are open to presale negotiations. Token price was the lowest during Pre-ICO though; any presale price will be at most that low, likely higher.

Is there any benefit allocation to the token holders?

Digmus tokens represent a share in the Digmus currency (GEN) emission. In the case of any such currency emission, the GEN balance of token owners will be increased in proportion to their share of DGM tokens. The emission will be managed in such a way as to insure a hard price cap for GEN coins.

What's the avg price of one GEN?

GEN coins will be acquirable either on the exchange from token owners, or through a direct order from Digmus at a cost of $0.05 per GEN. Ordered tokens will be issued once every 2 months.

Oh so if I don't wanna wait for two months, I go to the exchange and buy em?

I was impressed when knew about this project! It seems to be very successful and wish you good luck!

Thanks clutteredfootage!

Great useful project! Good luck!

Are those amounts from strategic investors secret or publicly known?

Thanks motionszabra! You can always find us in Digmus telegram channel t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus) in case of any questions

Hey - I came across your ICO website and wanted to know if you had any interest in making an ICO launch video my company specializes in this and we've already made a bunch in the recent months.

Thank you for the offer, CryptoGir. We will contact you to discuss that.

Pharmaceutical industry is definitely gonna need your system, that could save lives!

Yeah, we do agree with you, but at the same time pharmacy is always under a close govermental monitoring, so it brings some uniqueness to the process of integration.

The question is kinda straight forward, so I had to ask the team if they are okay to disclose that kind of information. We will contact you in any case, even if the answer is positive or negative.

Hello
Is there a bounty campaign 8)

Hello gazilla!
Yes, we are about to start the campaign soon. Please keep an eye on the project.

Keep your head up till you finish, guys! I've put money in you, so please go hard!

We really do appreciate your involvement, rahleurfan! We'll go as hard as it ever was possible!

Hey look at the team, each of them has a decent experience, some even in crypto

Weekly report from Digmus team

https://medium.com/@Digmus_ICO/weekly-report-october-30-november-5-4d07c204e60c (https://medium.com/@Digmus_ICO/weekly-report-october-30-november-5-4d07c204e60c)

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*oVj864NQ2gSrh0z7TEZtGg.jpeg

With all due respect this picture looks staged as hell   ;D ;D

so whats soft cap for ICO phase?

We'll have a softcap of $500k, a goal of $3mln and a hardcap of $10mln.

10$ mln is a nice number, but what amount of money do you really expect to receive?

Our roadmap assumes that US$1 million is collected for the ICO. An amount less than this will significantly decrease the speed at which partners are attracted, as well as put the beta-version implementation date for blockchain and SAP integration behind schedule. While an amount over this will not significantly affect development speed, it will allow for more active system promotion, increasing the quantity of partners.

Looking forward to participate
Website looks great btw, good job guys

Definetely like this project, I am in))

Not sure what you were trying to tell me. Are you part of the team? Is the money publicly observable or not? Would be good to know for any potential investor.

Where is your team located btw?

The team is international, but most of us are in Russia
Right now we are choosing the jurisdiction and most likely it will be the Republic of Singapore

Thanks dart_w! We really do appreciate your support!

You deffinitely going to need people in every country where your system is activated

Yes, I am a part of the team. I had to contact our financial advisor to make sure that we are okay to disclose that kind of information. The only facts we are okay to reveal is that strategic investors got about 3% of the tokens at near pre-ICO price.

Keep my eye on.

I know a China project named Inchain, but I still don't know how to do the Anti-Counterfeit.
why we can do it if we use the blockchain technology?

Thank you ilsshort! It will be easier to keep an eye on, if you join our telegram channel t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus)

why do you need blockchain for this project?

The use of a blockchain repository instead of a centralized database is predicated on two objectives. First, a blockchain is something consumers and manufacturers are more likely to trust. Second, it allows us to create the investment system described in whitepaper document, where the issued token value is directly linked to our success in the market.

Hi Ommochain! I'm not sure if I understood you right. Could you please rephrase the question?

Which exact parameters are verified during the autenticity check?

Interesting idea for a project, will keep my eye on this.

It checks:
1. If the item is in Digmus database
2. If the geolocation of devise (smartphone, tablet, etc) matches with target location of the item
3. If purchase of this exact iteam has already been made

Thank you viscolex! It will be easier to keep an eye on, if you join our telegram channel t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus)

How is it possible to check if purchase of this exact iteam has already been made?

With a scratch code inside of the pack, you will be able to register the purchase right after the unpacking

Ok 3% is not that much, which is good to know because most of the tokens distributed at discounts often get dumped straight away. I assume the strategic investors' tokens have no vesting period? So what is the current overall financial situation? How much money did you collect so far at what price per token?

I'm really interested in how much money you'll be able to collect during the ICO

Our seed investors have no restrictions regarding token management. They have strong faith in project, though, and are a huge help for us, i.e. in the last two weeks they basically pulled a few promising pharmaceutical contacts out of thin air. With the amount of work they've put in supporting us, we can be sure our seed investors are not here for fliiping.

Yeah, we will announce the start with the rest of bounty campaigns

What's the reason for token holders to keep the tokens?

Digmus tokens represent a share in the Digmus currency (GEN) emission. In the case of any such currency emission, the GEN balance of token owners will be increased in proportion to their share of DGM tokens. The emission will be managed in such a way as to insure a hard price cap for GEN coins.
GEN coins will be acquirable either on the exchange from token owners, or through a direct order from Digmus at a cost of $0.05 per GEN. Ordered tokens will be issued once every 2 months. At that time, token owners will receive 30% of the issued coins in proportion to the number of tokens they own, with the right to sell them at any cost they choose. This means the total amount of coins issued will be equal to 1.3X, where X is the number of coins manufacturers placed an order for.

So the only way coins can get to exchange is from the token holders. All right

So the main profit comes with money flow from big clients

Or a big group of small ones

Are there any upcoming discounts?

So, I also get this fear, what is the guarantee of the privacy and confidentiality of this database?

We are going to use blockchain database instead of centralized. The use of a blockchain repository instead of a centralized database is predicated on two objectives. First, a blockchain is something consumers and manufacturers are more likely to trust. Second, it allows us to create the investment system described later in this document, where the issued token value is directly linked to our success in the market.
All the data will be encrypted, so there's no way to spy using that kind of data.

Token price was the lowest during Pre-ICO; any presale price will be at most that low, likely higher. It's 48% discount, there is no way to sell it cheaper without affecting other participants.

What about a volume discount?

Volume discount is possible, but the price will never get lower than it was during the pre-ICO

Makes sense, that will help you to avoid the anger of the early investors

Weekly report (November, 6–12)

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*zHLn3bWU7rxYspe5U_h2kQ.jpeg

1. Negotiations with one of auto chemicals producers expanded beyond Russia. Managers of a German company are about to take a decision on Digmus implementation. We are talking about the protection of Swd-Rheinol oil. In Russia, company representatives work mainly with big automobile repair shops. Innovative protection will help the company be more confident in the retail market and we will be able to develop a system working prototype tailored to a real industrial process.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*ngY40iNM3qM8zhqBfnH0lA.png

Main points of negotiations:
— The implementation of NFC chips is the best solution for motor oil protected by Digmus.
— The chip can be easily placed under the cap.
— Protection is only required for oil sold in Russia and the CIS as the chance of buying counterfeit oil in Europe is next to nothing.

2. There is also news on NFC chips. We received the first batch of chips that had been made specifically for Digmus considering our needs. We are planning to start implementing them in demos. The article on how Digmus can protect goods with NFC is available here https://medium.com/@Digmus_ICO/what-is-rfid-and-nfc-e3fbcfa04 (https://medium.com/@Digmus_ICO/what-is-rfid-and-nfc-e3fbcfa04)

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*gDh6DOfsLJRkmrpBy79dRg.jpeg

3. Last week we also conducted negotiations with the CEO of one of Russian top pharmaceutical companies. The CEO was interested in our solution, however, he was concerned with an increase in drug cost if protection is implemented. Probably, the best way to protect drugs is to place a QR code on them and fully disclose information on a drug after scanning including sales region and the number of code scans.

Ahaha that's not a surprice for anyone that Russia is in top of counterfeit paradise
You guys can easily make yourself some enemies

or friends coz it depends

Great news guys! Looks like that is how successful business begins! Good luck!

Thanks Attilaloe! We really do appreciate your involvment!

Excellent!  Next big step is try to figure out how to get the early version running with real business

We will keep you informed with details here in bitcointalk, and also via our telegram channel t.me/Digmus (http://t.me/Digmus)

Don't you guys already have a prototype?

We do have a prototype, but for now just for Android:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.digmus.app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.digmus.app)
https://digmus.io/demo/ (https://digmus.io/demo/)

Awesome information and that is actually what strategic or seed investors should be for. Pushing the project by providing a whole lot of resources besides cash. It seems you have some good investors on board then.

Is there an iOS version of that? You guys will defenitely need one

When the ICO is planned to start and what is the minimum contribution?

The ICO is planned to the first quearter of 2018.
Minimum contribution is 0.1 BTC or 1 ETH

iOS version is in development right now. We'll officially announce when it is ready.

How much tokens can I get by paying 0.1 BTC or 1 ETH?

Hi! News from Digmus  ;)

Two weeks’ report (November, 20 — December, 3)

We were getting ready for the Crypto conference in Skolkovo and also organized meetings with people that are essential for the project, so that we didn’t have a chance to draft a report over the penultimate week of November. That is why we are publishing a two weeks’ report. We have something to tell you.

1. We decided to find out how lobbyists — intermediaries between business and authorities — can help Digmus. For this purpose, our CEO Mikhail Nazaruk met with one of them in Rostov-on-Don and with another one in Moscow. Brief summary of the meetings: lobbyists can potentially help implement Digmus in the system of compulsory marking of goods in Russia, however, the project needs to get stronger for that. Task number one for Digmus is to finish the development of the system prototype. It will help present the project to stakeholders, facilitate an ICO and attract investors.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*FFSanT_vNQkLpcaJP2bVPQ.jpeg

2. On November, 28 Mikhail Nazaruk attended the Crypto Conference in Skolkovo. Why is this event interesting? This is the biggest crypto and ICO conference in Moscow that hosted 1,5 thousand participants. Moreover, it was held in Skolkovo that was positioned a couple of years ago as the Russian Silicone Valley. Mikhail says that the conference helped him understand the current situation in the crypto and ICO markets in Russia (you can read about it in his blog). New contacts of private investors and those who deal with GR were added on the contact list.

3. In the end of the month, we met with representatives of an international oil and gas company at their lubricating oil factory. He agreed that there is a problem of counterfeits, the company has been trying to solve it for many years, however, they still don’t manage to eliminate it. He admitted that an independent organization should protect oils in the country and that a comprehensive solution for all motor oils needs to be implemented. The management still needs to consider the application of Digmus at their factory but this decision is not a fast one.

4. We are developing motivation tools for people who believe in the idea and help us as it is evident that a previously short-term project turns into a long-term one and people need to be motivated to build long-lasting cooperation.

5. Short but rewarding news — the article on the choice of jurisdictions for an ICO was unexpectedly picked up for “Startup” on Medium and more people found out about Digmus also wishing us good luck in our endeavor.

The others reports you can see here: https://medium.com/@Digmus_ICO

We'll check it out, thanks.

There is any update here regarding this project! There is any planned date for the ICO?
