Regarding the unsold 60bn or so DENT, they will not be burnt. They remain locked per contract until 6 mos after ICO. After that, 25% of the unsold DENT will be released each financial quarter. My assumption is they will be sitting on the Dent Exchange as reserves, but that hasn't been confirmed. I don't think we have to worry about the team dumping them on an exchange as that wouldn't serve them well.

Aside from the B8Wang exchange announcement, no new news, which is disappointing. However Mikko confirmed the exchange announcement wasn't "the news" we have been waiting for last the few days, and more is still to come. I'd like TokenMarket (or someone designated by the team) to be more active here and on Slack/Telegram, and while Mikko drops in almost daily, there's very limited comms. That doesn't mean I don't think they're not working, far from it, just that they don't see the a need for a constant 24/7 online presence.

It was posted on Telegram/Slack by the team, so it’s official.

6 months after ICO, quarter of the unsold DENT will be released, for each subsequent quarter.

Aquto is the first, but won't be the last. More good news up ahead, and moon, or at least low orbit, indeed

Don't blow your wad just yet. More news, including exchange(s), should be just around the corner. Good things come to those who wait.

No exchanges announced yet, rumor has it first one(s) still going through the vetting process. Soon

From Slack/Telegram:

tl;dr HitBTC trades IOU's, not actual tokens. Due to low volume, price of the token is nowhere near what it will be once real trading starts.

DENT is not available on any exchange yet. HitBTC does this with every ICO: they participate in a presale, secure X amount of tokens and trade the promise of receiving said token. They still have to wait of the release of the actual tokens like everyone else. So instead what you see on HitBTC is I-owe-you's (IOU), in other words, "futures". You are trading IOU's of DENT token, not the actual token. Due to the extremely low volume, price of a token on HitBTC is seldom anywhere near the price you'll see once the actual token is traded on Bittrex, Polo etc. Take TenX's PAY token for example, regularly saw $40-50 "price" on HitBTC, but that was only due to the trading volume of a few BTC's worth. Once the tokens were available for trade, PAY was trading for fraction of what it was on HitBTC.

I think presale contributors will have to wait until ICO is over, token sale contributors should see the tokens right away.

With current prices: 4,651,162 DENT per 1 BTC

Presale ends tomorrow (min. 20ETH contribution), after which it becomes a token sale with no minimum contribution amount. So far just shy of 14k ETH sold of the 152,000ETH hard cap.

I think TokenMarket handles their social media; though the Slack & Telegram channels are kinda quiet, a dozen or so posts/comments per day. I also think the ICO will not be the only source of funding for the project and that they'll be seeking large(er) investors pretty soon. Not sure how future marketing will be handled, but if they bring big(ger) money, I'd assume they'll ramp up the marketing as well. Just a hunch.

Mikko and his core team have a shitton of biz and project experience outside of crypto, yet have just ventured on to crypto and especially ICO's. I was asking myself, if this is such a revolutionary concept, why not just seek VC funding and be done with it? Why fumble around with small donations when you could just score $10 mil of Series A funding? And the answer is, I think, with a token sale and subsequent Dent app, Dent can demonstrate to a telco (hopefully a large) number of users wanting their data liberated. Can't do that if you have 1-2 large investors giving you cash.

Unlike the "normal" ICO's I don't think Dent's purpose for the ICO is to create massive hype (TenX) or raise an insane amount of cash (EOS) -- though I have to admit the 152K ETH cap is pretty fecking huge --- but rather, bring on users at a gradual pace; again because the point of the ICO is not create inflated prices or a pump and dump. Many of us look for those under the radar projects with small a cap, low number of tokens, for that 20x, 50x return. I don't think you'll achieve that with Dent. You should get onboard because you believe this actually solves a *current* problem, and not just for cryptoenthusiasts, not because you expect DENT to be worth 10x in 6 months.

Per Mikko's comment on Dent's Telegram group, the first telco should be onboard late this year. So while I'd like to see more activity here, and social media in general, I don't think the project is in any jeopardy of moving forward.

I'm long on this one.

We saw this with LTBcoin earlier with Poloniex, same message same logic. Community emailed and trolled the trollbox enough for Poloniex to keep the coin listed. I'd assume it's an automated process for all the exchanges, but that can be manually reversed if they see fit.

Oh you will know when I exit, no doubt.

Bittrex:

No, not dumb, probably your average cryptoschmucks here, but perhaps getting a bit impatient if you will though. I don't think you should question Adam's commitment to the project; just because the project has hit a plateau doesn't mean immediate death. I admit though, no new projects have signed on, and it seems awfully quiet behind the closed doors. Not dumping my stash, but I'd like the team to revisit the roadmap, and give out a bit more what's in the works for signups.

My butt is hurt. I have some Viral. Can I haz butt cream?

Jesus iceskating Christ.

It's Viral's Github page. Not a downloadable link.

But yeah, go to the OP with link.

Whatevs.
