Japan is the great country, and I hope to visit Japan this year.
Knowing that cryptocurrency is very popular in Japan, I haven't seen many ICOs, Projects of Japanese origin here.
I think may be that's because Japanese people have own forums, own places to discuss.
If somebody has a list or just few ongoing projects, ICOs to name - that would be good.

Are you sure that it's right to call NEM Japanese project?
On the site the team is quite intertnational.

Also wikipedia says:
"The NEM.io Foundation launched NEM's Blockchain Center in a 10,000-square foot facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to serve as an accelerator, incubator and coworking space."

Looks very interesting, hopefully this project can become crypto Amazon-killer!
As a writer I had bad experience with Amazon KDP program, not only it takes huge cut from the authors, (30-70% depending from pricing), but also they banned my account without chances to restore and took royalties for 3 months!

So I'm definitely joining Gilgamesh! Also will join Bounty campaign

I also knew people who invested into Bitconnect, and they acknowledged that's it's Ponzi scheme, Pyramid, but hoped to cash out before it fells downs.
I didn't follow recent Bitcoinnect news, so it's over for sure or might restore?
In general I think such things harm cryptocurrency world, as some people consider them as cryptocurrencies (i.e. Bitcoinnect is listed on Coinmarketcap) and transfer then negative attitude towards all cryptos.

Very interesting project, I plan to invest, just didn't decide which amount, will decide closer to the date of sale, February 13.

Also there were questions about bounty campaign - as I understand there won't be bounty, just checked Telegram.

By the way I advise you to join Remme's Telegram https://t.me/remme if you are not there yet
A lot of interesting aspects about the project are discussed there.

З прокачаними акаунтами можна брати участь в баунті-кампаніях, але головне, що це - найголовніший Біткойн/Блокчейн/Криптовалютний форум, якиий створив Сатоші Накамото (у якого є тут акаунт, можна почитати всі його пости) - і в різних темах можна знайти відповіді на багато питань.
Просто так "прокачувати" акаунт немає смислу, "може згодиться" все-одно не аргумент, бо час на коменти можна витратити на багато більш прибуткових справ

Can't you see it?

Also recently I discovered, that Hacken are on of the sponsors of Ukraine House Davos

Does this photo mean that Hacken will be listed on Binance? )
Good option, I read that they had so many registration so they had to put on hold new registration for a while (it seems now new registrations are available again)

Ні, тут точно цифра ближча до 4 млрд, а якщо з усіма альткойнами - до буде і всі 10!


Писати можно одразу в усіх розділах, не треба триматись лише за цю гілку))

До речі я бачу тут з'явилось багато новачків - позитивна тенденція!

So in a few words your are saying that regardless the amount of raised funds in the sale period this project is going to run?
Thank you

As I understand, the minimum-goal was reached even on pre-sale and it will be enough for the development of platform.
Looking forward to see beta platform soon!

Yes, but as for me even not media is more important, but community which is around Gridcoin (i.e. on Steemit there is big community, on Reddit too, but I'm not visiting Reddit so often) and it's growing, it includes many real scientists for whom Gridcoin is interesting and helpful

Do you have the stats (if you can share) how many people are on alpha version?
I was thinking to create tasks but at the moment have no idea which task to make))
And for apply to task there are mostly "join binance, kucoin with ref links" left.
I hope more tasks will be posted there.

The project is developing very fast. I would really advise you to join (if you didn't join yet) Telegram which has almost 4000 members at the moment

All the news appear and are discussed there

If you are from Australia - you can visit Meetup On Thursday, January 25, 2018
Horizon State Meetup #1 featuring Ian Balina and Nugget’s News
https://www.meetup.com/Horizon-State-Meetup/events/246850764/

I hope there will be some Meetups in Europe so I'll be able to visit too

Good question)
I think (i.e. for Tweets) for each week there is a date.
I.e. for this week - Week 5–6 (January 15-January 28) (must be sent before February 11) — 2 Pre ICO Weeks

So the report should be sent before Fabruary 11

Also I don't understand why for me Week 2 was not counted, I sent it altogether with Week1 as it's said in the main post..
Can it be changed?

Joined Twitter campaign once again
I hope mine (and others') Bancor bounty would be counted!
Have a good luck with ICO!

Since my last post I managed to exchange ETH to BTC and bought 2488 GRC
So far that's my biggest crypto investment)
I even posted on Steemit post with some screenshots https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@flodner/my-biggest-crypto-investment-gridcoin

For most of you that might be very small investment, but I didn't invest (at least yet) more neither in ICOs nor in altcoins.
I post it to say that I believe in Gridcoin, especially in the long-term

Власний Discord цієї гілки?
Не чув про це, та й не знаю чи є смисл в ньому. зараз Телеграм популярніший для використання серед крипто-спільнот ніж Discord
Телеграм-груп є багато, наприклад більшість ІСО мають свої групи, в деяких з них бувають досить цікаві, грунтовні розмови

Дуже часто це пишеться у вигляді приколу =)) але ж є індивідуми що реально так вважають
[/quote]

Взагалі це прикол не смішний, бо часто повторюється (так само як і moon, lambo)
Я якраз мав на увазі тих, хто справді так вважає, в основному вони це й поширюють. Я навіть помітив, що деякі люди реально хочуть щоб криптовалюти завалились, щоб підтвердилась їхня (насправді взята зі ЗМІ) теза про бульбашку, піраміду, і т д

Це вже багато разів тут обговорювалось, можеш прогортати сторінки назад
Те, що точно сприяє - це кількість постів тут (але звісно крім спам-постів різних)
Тому, наприклад, я й заходжу в цю гілку частіше ніж в деякі інші
А взагалі адміни форуму не поспішають створювати окремий суб-форум

Я би взагалі не сприймав це серйозно, ну трохи ціна впала, тепер піднімається. Серед трейдерів хтось заробив, хтось втратив, а ті хто вкладають на далеку перспективу - могли й взагалі цього не помітити.
Просто дивуюсь як дехто з ажіотажем реагує в стилі "ну все, обвал, почалось", "я ж казав тобі що це піраміда", "все, біткойн скоро зникне" ))

You are probably very big investor if you forget about such things))
I think what to do might depend from your strategy. If you are trading you can sell then expect to buy a bit lower.
But on the long term I'm sure HST price will rise significantly
