Wallet keeps synchronising, I've tried to restart, change server and reinstall - nothing helps.  It worked correctly in the morning. I'm in hurry to participate in SONM ICO this evening. I assume I can just export private keys and restore wallet in some other client?

From Contribution Campaign Official Document ("CCOD") http://doc.liveplayergames.com/docs/CCOD.pdf

"At the close of the Contribution Campaign, 10% of funds raised will be released. The remaining 90% will only be released if and when the E4ROW contract processes 5,000 games. The purpose of this feature is to prove functionality, stability and capacity of the UFP and E4ROW systems. If this threshold is not met within 90-days of Contribution Campaign close, then the 90% portion of funds raised will be returned to the token purchasers upon their request, and if they do make such request their tokens will be surrendered. The purpose of this 5,000-game usage threshold should not be construed as a proof-of-adoption of UFP, rather is strictly a proof-of-functionality."

As you can see in etherscan IcoCheckup() function was called and did exaclty that (released 10% of funds) to cover operating costs connected with ICO and support continuous development. Now need to prove functionality with 5000 games in 90 days to release the remaining 90%. If not, investors can make refund request to return 90% of invested Ether (as 10% has already been released right after successful sale). This step, if ever happens, will be voluntary.

10.  getNumGames   is the field I believe we should be looking at, already at 2412

Countdown is here https://www.e4row.co.il/contribute

16 hours left

I wonder what for he transferred 400K tokens 18 days ago, after a month of being inactive in distribution?

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."  

Probably team is not that good in PR and marketing, but I like their engineering approach. I think nobody can deny: there is a working product (app) as a POC, contract, dividends are being payed out regularly to the investors, and that's even before raising single wei of funds. Every bit of code is open-sourced, everybody can go and check it, unlike many of those shady-scam ICOs (e.g. recent ZETH scam). There is a full Bio of the founder David B. Rose. In fact the  project is a hidden gem.

Now imagine what they can do having a bit of funding. Certainly hire a good marketing team.

I believe you will need to call that function from your Ethereum wallet to get a refund in case the crowdsale fails. There are still 50 hours to go though. Hope dies last. C'mon whaley, whaley  

Min threshold target is not met as of today. 3206 ETH raised, 1794 ETH to go to meet 5000 minimum target, 50 hours left!

BTW, just broke 100 ETH in escrowed amount, that's 2 ETH in dividends, that were distributed among investors.

Guys are very active on Reddit, Medium, Slack channel. Bitcointalk was not considered as the main community communication channel from the start

The refund event in case Min Cap is not reached is hardcoded into the contract. You can check it yourself https://etherscan.io/address/0x7b79387dd30dc6848dd2308c825b6802e99abc84#code

Look at the requestRefund() function

I think Dev who stated the topic doesn't have enough rep to post screenshots in OP post, since bitcointalk is the first experience for the team. although I agree it would be nice.  Google Play is in the works as I've heard, but it's too early to jump to conclusions.

Regarding ANN topic name I fear the community will associate E4ROW only with gambling, dice projects etc if the topic will be named like that. Let's see what devs say

As I've heard from the devs Wix (hosting provider for UFP), terminated the service recently. Probably because of strict regulation of online gambling in Israel. Devs commited to change hosting provider after the ICO.

Right now it's available for download on Slide Me App Store http://slideme.org/application/uncle-finney-s-poker

Regarding validation, the game was actually open sourced by LivePlayerGames: https://github.com/liveplayergames/UFP. The binary on SlideMe is compiled by trusted service provider FDroid. More on that https://medium.com/e4row/e4row-development-blueprint-d6284c78bf1a

The 5000 eth threshold is hardcoded into the contract, if target is not met 100% of funds will be returned to investors

It's much wider than that. The UFP app above serves as a showcase of E4ROW & Ethereum possibilities for a possible non-ether user thus increasing Ethereum overall reach and adoption.

Any app that require conditional escrow functionality can use E4ROW contract, it just happened to be that games, and especially head-to-head casino-like games allow to showcase it in a most intuitive and fun way. (earning dividends for token holders along the way   )

Take a look at this Medium blog post about the E4ROW mission:  E4ROW on a Mission to Aggressively Expand Etherverse

Uncle Finney's Poker app is now available for download on Slideme App store



2137 games were played so far!
close to 100 ETH total escrowed amount

Guys' mission is to bring Ethereum to the wide public and demonstrate it's power in action. They accomplish it by actually demonstrating that p2p games like poker could be done in a fully decentralised manner, where every participant of the network could verify each play round step by step. This approach guarantees pure random nature and excludes any possibility of fraud. In the past that would require some sort of trusted authority, that would certainly take it's edge as well (casino).

Unlike other ICOs (initial coin offerings), guys have already produced working app (Uncle Finney's Poker) on Android OS and actual ethereum escrow contract prior to raising single wei (smallest divisible part of Ether) of funds. UFP is the first in the roadmap and many more games/apps are to come.

The interesting part is that anyone can create his own app, requiring some sort of escrow functionality using E4ROW smart contract.

Anyone can support guys in their mission by participating in ICO that is being held right now. Token holders are subject to regular dividends distribution, that are 2% of all escrowed funds going through contract.

It's a different kind of ICO, you get dividends (2%) of all escrowed money (currently in Uncle Finney's Poker android app). And it's only the first game in the series of coming projects.

The project is fully functional and working at the moment, unlike most of other ICO

Also it's an ERC Ethereum token, that makes it transferable and thus tradable.

POC is already in place "Uncle Finney's Poker" and is already paying dividends to ICO participants.

yeah, it's a hiddden gem, all is needed is to somehow catch attention of whales. The are lots of crypto meetups in Israel. Maybe you should attend and post press release with photos?

Set up new E4ROW meetup with Ethereum Tel Aviv! https://www.meetup.com/Ethereum-Tel-Aviv/ - they have 356 members

Almost 1500 tokens sold out of 5000 min cap: http://www.stats.e4row.com, 10 days to go.

Interesting thing about E4ROW compared to Peerplays: E4ROW already has a functioning game, whereas Peerplays only plans to release it, which technically makes E4ROW producer of the world's first profit-sharing gaming (escrow) smart-contract with functioning game, as far as I can recall.
