If you are a good Solidity developer why not give your best shot with one last attempt at hacking or breaking our Ethereum smart contract, in our bug hunt.

We want the most safe and secure smart contract, and that is why we publish our code publicly, and why we have invited skilled programmers and developers to find any bugs or problems.

If you succeed in hacking or breaking our smart contract you will be rewarded with up to 15 ETH, and we pay out for smaller bugs as well.

We have already paid our 2.5 ETH to developers who suggested improvements that could be made to our contract!

Our formal audit is now also nearing its completion. It has been carried out by an independent, experienced a highly skilled Solidity developer. Once the audit has been completed we hope to present a statement from him relating to his code review once we have his confirmation that our Ethereum Smart Contract will be safe and secure.

If you are a skilled Solidity developer, send us a private message today, and let us know you wish to join our bug hunt, (it is coming to an end soon!), and we will get back to you with further instructions.
 

Thanks for your question Martin.  

We would rather under-promise and over-deliver than the other way around, and that is part of why we are not promising any specific investment returns in the white paper.

In regards to our past trading history we have been extremely successful over the last two years, with a number of trades with more than a 1000% percent ROI.

However, we honestly don't think this says very much... Why? Because we all know that the cryptomarket has exploded over the last 2 years, and it has actually been pretty HARD to make bad medium to long-term trades!

This won't continue forever, (although it might for a while longer)...

We are not going to make any promises in regards to the returns Angel Token investors can expect, but let us share with you what we expect internally, within the team.

1. We expect that we will be able to deliver a 2x to 5x average return (Yes, a 200% to 500% return) within 3 to 6 months of investing in a typical small to medium size altcoin.


2. Please note that this is not always necessarily a "liquid return", (meaning that we have cashed out in ETH, BTC, BCH, DASH or Monero for example), but rather this is "the expected rise in the Angel Token Portfolio value" for the holding of that coin.

How much of that holding we will liquidate into ETH or BTC or another major currency depends on a lot of factors, including the market liquidity for that coin. However, our goal and intention is to liquidate enough to be able to pay a substantial dividend each quarter.


3. We are unlikely to deploy more than 20% to 25% of our available capital in any one coin at any one time, although long-term we expect to have at least 50% to 60% of the available funds deployed in various altcoins.


4. Therefore the expected return, (based purely on our own experience and really meant for internal use only), is that the total portfolio value will increase with 100% to 250% during an average 3 to 6 months investment cycle.


5. These expected gains are in relation to the value of Ethereum.  Of course in relation to fiat currencies, such as the dollar, the price of Ethereum might go up or down over time and this will have a big impact on the performance of the portfolio in relation to US dollar and other currencies.

Our long-term goal is substantial and continual growth of the Angel Token portfolio.

However, one of our internal goals inside the team is that all ICO investors should have received back MORE than their total Ether investment in the form of dividends as soon as possible after we have launched this ICO. It is therefore likely that we will be paying higher than average dividends during the first quarters, compared to long-term, assuming that the market liquidity and profitability of our trades is such that we can.


Please note that the above statements is purely us sharing our internal discussions and expectations about our expected returns.

Althought our internal discussion include predictions, estimates or other information that might be considered forward-looking, these are not be construed as "promises" or "statements of factual expectations" by any potential ICO investor. The Angel Token is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ significantly from what our internal expectations are. As a potential investor in this ICO you are hereby cautioned not to place much reliance on the above statements, which only reflect the opinions of our team members and based on current market sentiments. Although we will always attempt to keep Angel Token holders up to date we are not obligating ourselves to revise or publicly release any revision to the above statements and/or expectations in light of new information or future events or changes in the altcoin markets.





Thank you, we look forward to seeing you on the inside!




Thank you for your comments and we look forward to welcoming you on board if and when you are available.  



Glad to hear it Jimmy, we are looking forward to seeing you on the inside!  

 

We will be happy to have you on board, and let me answer your question!

If we only raise 5% or 10% then that's what we will run with.

It is important that you understand that we are already operating this type of trading profitably by ourselves, without any external investors.

The idea behind this ICO is to be able to "take things to the next level", and the more we raise the higher that level will be.


Let me give you a couple of examples.


1. The more trading capital you have the more you are able to "control the exchange market" in a smaller size coin.

When you hold a substantial stake in a fairly low volume coin and you also have a large amount of capital available, you have a lot of "power" in the market. This is especially true when you are in direct contact with other major stakeholders in this coin...

The more Ethereum we raise the larger size coins we will be able to "work with" from this point of view.


2. In the past we have more or less acted as passive investors in the positions we have taken.

The more Ethereum we raise during the ICO the more resources we will be able to commit towards actually working with the founders and communities of the coins we invest in to improve them. Let's consider this "the Angel Investor" part of the operation.

With only a small amount of Ethereum raise this part of the operation will be more limited, and we will have to choose our investments more carefully to make sure that we can actually provide the resources they need to succeed in the marketplace.


3. The fewer investors we have the less "community power" we will have.

What I mean here is that we strongly believe in the idea that "more brains are better than a few" when it comes to certain types of jobs.  

We have a very clear plan for how we want to "use" the community for everyone's benefit, but with each person only needing to take on what we refer to as "micro tasks". This relates both to investment research before we make investments, and also later on, creating awareness and helping our investments reach a larger market share.

This is what we refer to as "Investment Crowd Intelligence" in the white paper.

Apart from this we also believe that the more active investors we have bringing forward potential investments and ideas the better it will be for us all as all.

Yes, our signature bounty campaign has already started and is in full swing over here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2403983.0


We also recently had a "24-Hour Meme Competition" that you can find here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2418930.0;all


We are also about to launch a comprehensive social media bounty campaign, but we still have some details to work out regarding that. Keep an eye out for it in the next 24 hours! 

There has been several question on this now, and I want to comment on the issue of personally identifying the team members, and why we have chosen not to do this, or at least not at this stage.

1. First of all let's clarify that there have been many successful ICOs and projects launched with anonymous teams, so we are hardly breaking new ground here.

2. As we have said before, we would like our proposal to speak for itself, and we do not believe that revealing our identities would add any significant value to this proposal.

3. We believe that a person’s name guarantees nothing, (at least not unless it is a very well-known person within his field), and in the fast-changing and largely unregulated environment in which cryptocurrencies and assets currently exist we see few benefits for either the investors, or the founders, to fully divulge their identities.

You have full access to the team through various channels, including here and on Slack http://angelinvestors.io/slack. We only use our first names, but you can ask us anything you want, and we will do our best to answer you.

4. For those of you that have invested in other ICOs that pay dividends, (in Ether or otherwise), you should also consider the fact that anything centralized, (i.e. the people behind the ICO are easy to go after), is much more likely to be tied up in legal battles and/or have "difficulties" meeting old or new compliance regulations.

These legals situations may at times prove to be directly harmful and dangerous, not only to the founding team members, but also to the investors. They may also hinder the team from being able to always act in the best interest, (i.e. most profitable) for their token holders.

Various governments around the world use force and threat of violence (i.e. prison), often in an almost arbitrary manner. They go after certain companies and people, and sometimes imprison them to "set an example", even if there are no victims and no crime has taken place.

When you offer something like an ICO to an almost worldwide audience it is easy to fall foul of some regulation somewhere...

We are doing everything we can to avoid legal trouble of any sort, and to make sure that we don't breach any regulation that we are aware of. That includes not allowing investors from those countries that have made it clear that token sales and ICOs could be considered securities in their jurisdiction to take part in the ICO.

However, since new laws and regulations constantly come into place in various parts of the world we feel that staying at least "semi-anonymous" may give us (and all other Angel Token holders!) another small safeguard for the future.

If were to do anything truly criminal, like stealing the 20% of the funds we raise during the ICO as "the newbie wodan11" suggested above, our anonymity here certainly won't protect us from law enforcement. This is more about not making ourselves "the easiest target in the forest"...

ICOs are generally risky, and this one is only slightly different.

Yes, we are an anonymous (or semi-anonymous) team, but we also offer the 80% Guaranteed Investor Protection through our immutable Ethereum smart contract.

This means that an investor basically remains "in control" over 80% of his/her's invested Ether until March 7th 2018, and 40% of the invested Ether until April 26th 2018.

At any point during the coming 5 months they can simply initiate an immediate and automatic refund of up to 80% of their investments by simply sending their tokens back to our smart contract from the same address they sent their intial Ether investment. We believe this offers more protection than almost all other recent ICOs, despite the fact that we are not completely open with our identities.

However, we do understand that some people may have wanted to take part in this ICO, but are concerned about our anonymity. We can fully appreciate any such caution and if that is how you feel, we are not trying and persuade to invest in this ICO.

What we suggest is this.

Read our white paper, review our smart contracts on Github and review the Initial Coin Offering as we have laid it out in the white paper and on our website.

If you believe that our goals are achievable and that we have set-out a sensible and rigorous structure, and that our smart contracts are secure and robust, then join us in our vision for the future of Angel Token and help us create it.

Our smart contract allows you to scrutinize our performance and ensures that you can always recover at any point (until March 7th 2018) 80% of your investment.

Reach out to us and get to know us over on Slack, or ask more questions here.

In the end, if you decide that this is not for you, we understand. Each one has their own criteria for risk and there are zero hard feelings from our side if you don't join us...we promise!

As a team we believe very much in "if it's meant to be and we are good fit it will happen, and if not that's ok too".

We don't try to hard-sell anything we do.

We's rather just point to the opportunity and honestly explain what we can do, and then let people decide if they think we are good fit for them or not.

If you do decide to invest, only invest as much as you can afford.

Yes, you have the 80% Guaranteed Investor Protection, but even so, always stay within your comfort limits when investing in ICOs.

For those of you that DO decide to join us, we very much look forward to seeing you on the inside!

UPDATE FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ACCEPTED BUT ARE ON THE "MAYBE LIST"

1. WE HAVE CREATED A SPECIFIC "MAYBE LIST" (as new tab in the normal list: http://bit.ly/angelsignature )

If you are on that list and still interested in being part of our signature campaign the following rules apply:

a) You must have written at least 3 new posts since we last reviewed your posts that prove you belong in our campaign.

b) YOU DO NOT NEED TO WEAR OUR SIGNATURE WHILST WRITING THESE POSTS.

c) Your posts do NOT have to be particularly long, but they have to have VALUE TO THE FORUM!

LET ME GIVE SOME EXAMPLES:

- Talking about how Bitcoin is great technology because it allows you to make BTC/money for your family by being part of signature campaigns IS NOT CONTRIBUTING TO THE FORUM!

- Waffling on endlessly WITHOUT REALLY SAYING ANYTHING IS NOT CONTRIBUTING TO THE FORUM!

INSTEAD:

- Read up on things and study Bitcoin and/or Altcoins.

- Form opinions on different matters and share them and explain your thought process behind them. We don't care if those opinions are about why Segwit2 failed or Bitcoin Cash sucks or is the "new Bitcoin", or what Altcoin is next going to the moon. The point is that you UNDERSTAND something and have original thoughts and opinions about a subject, and you are willing to explain them. THAT is providing value to the forum.

Not everyone can know everything about crypto, but everyone can KNOW SOMETHING about crypto...share that!

d) Once you have written 3 more high quality posts (with or without our signature or someone else's) re-apply by posting in the thread.

d) YOU MUST PUT THE FOLLOWING AT THE TOP OF YOUR NEW POST:

"I AM ON YOUR "MAYBE LIST" BUT I HAVE CREATED SOME NEW QUALITY POSTS AND WOULD LIKE TO RE-APPLY."

e) We will review your new application (and your latests posts) when we get a chance, but it will likely take a few days. After that you will either be placed on the "NOT ACCEPTED" list or on the "ACCEPTED LIST" and allowed into the campaign.

f) If you don't care or rather join another campaign than "jump trough hoop for us" that is fine, and nothing will change from our end and no hard feelings either.    We are just not a good fit for each other.

BRAND NEW APPLICANTS SHOULD CONTINUE TO APPLY AS NORMAL IN THE THREAD AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR MANY MORE...SO IF YOU ARE A HIGH QUALITY POSTER ON THIS FORUM - WELCOME!!   

For more detailed info about the campaign, check my previous message: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2403983.msg24652208#msg24652208

I understand that, the posts you have are generally way too short and although I believe in the saying "short and snappy" I still feel they need more meat.

As for the critique, Angel Token is the opposite of that. It's the first refundable ICO, where we lead a community that will invest in small to medium cryptocurrencies. We aren't passive investors waiting for "things to happen". That, paired with the refundable ICO and many other aspects, is the total opposite of a ponzi.  

I invite anyone to read through my post here to understand better the mechanics behind Angel Token: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2385917.msg24801632#msg24801632

Sorry to hear and appreciate the heads up! Good luck to you too!

Sure, good luck to you!

Yes, it is open. I'm updating page 18, 19 & 20 in the next few hours and will try to get all new applicants their status ready for the new week, which starts at 00:00 Monday, forum time.

That is correct! This week ends today at 23:59 and you need minimum of 20 posts in order to get paid on this Wednesday. Less of that will count on the next payment, assuming you still are active in the campaign.

Hope it's more clear now.

Yes, payments are on Wednesday if you did over 20 good posts this week.

No, there was no pre-ICO.

The Angel Tokens that are being minted and sold during this ICO are the first and only Angel Tokens that ever will be created, now or in the future.

We are financing this ICO entirely from our own funds. Funds that we have generated through profitable trades and investments over the last couple of years.


I addressed the question of our track record earlier in this thread.

In regards to your comments on the bonuses we obviously believe you are wrong. As I explained a few posts above in this thread it is simply a way to reward the early investors in the ICO.

Through Slack, using a private "invite only" channel. We are in the process of coding a server side script that will automatically check members wallets to make sure that all current members maintain the minimum balance of 10,000 Angel Tokens.

If a wallet balance falls below the minimum, the member will get a warning, and unless the balance comes back up to the minimum the member will be removed from the private community.


We have the final say in the investments that are made, but it is very much a collaborative approach.

What I mean by this is that we strongly believe in the idea that "more brains are better than a few" when it comes to certain types of jobs. 

We have a very clear plan for how we want to "use" the community for everyone's benefit, but with each person only needing to take on what we refer to as "micro tasks".

This relates both to investment research before we make investments, and also later on, creating awareness and helping our investments reach a larger market share.

This is what we refer to as "Investment Crowd Intelligence" in the white paper.

This also involves the community voting on potential investments and potentially individual members/investors putting forward their own research and opinions on a particular coin.

We believe that the more active investors we have that are bringing forward potentially good investments, the better it will be for us all as all.

After all, we are only a small team and for sure we will miss many opportunities by ourselves.

As an example, there are currently around 1300 coins and tokens on coinmarketcap.com, and we know for a fact that there are many coins and projects that are massively undervalued that are currently not yet on our "radar".

It takes a lot of time and work to stay up to date with developments and new coins on the market, and having a group of investors who are willing to do small "micro tasks" and collaborate with our researchers will be hugely beneficial for everyone.

We have system that we have been using for discovering undervalued coins, but it requires a lot of manual research into each coin.

We will have a dedicated team working on investment research, but we believe that the combination of our expert team and the investor community will be incredibly successful and profitable for everyone involved, especially when used in combination with our marketing and development team.

It seems like we missed your questions GoldenOrder, my apologies.  

1. No, 1 ETH buys exactly 10,000 Angel Tokens during the 690% bonus period, so there will be no need to "buy any extra tokens" in order to be part of the private community and get dividends.

The 690% bonus period lasts until the first 1 million tokens have been distributed to ICO Investors, and if you are among the investors grabbing those then 1 ETH is all it takes to "get you a seat at the table" in the private investment community.

You can find the exact amount of tokens per Ether and the bonus percentages etc inside the white paper.

2. That URL was a mistake and I appreciate you  pointing it out. I would also appreciate if you could edit and remove that quote from your question so no one goes to the wrong website and finds the wrong Ethereum address there...

The ONLY domain name that will be used during the ICO is https://angelinvestors.io/ and that is also where the correct Ethereum address where to send Ether to will be displayed.

The second link to https://angelinvestors.io/invest/ has some videos and more information on how to get Ether and wallets etc.

3. The ICO launch time is November 27th at 12:00 GMT as stated on the website. We are indeed launching at "lunchtime" rather than midnight.

Sorry about the confusion regarding the URL, and thanks again for pointing that out.

In regards to "the missing token" in the bonus graphic (that adds up to 9999 for 1 ETH instead of 10,000), this is simply due to a rounding error that we missed. The smart contract uses exact numbers so it will not affect that.

You have a good eye for detail and I really hope we get a chance to welcome you on board as on of the investors in the Angel Token ICO. I am sure you will be a great asset in the private investment community.
