UPDATE TO OPENCRYPTOTRUST ICO:
(NOTE: as posted on Medium: https://medium.com/@Mwalker_OpenCT/announcing-opencryptotrust-token-sale-fb309f8bce4d

  • We are excited to announce some changes to our 2018 token sale.
    White Listing registration for the pre-sale — Click Here:  https://www.openct.io/buy-oct-token.
    Note: for a limited time registrants can purchase at the original pre-sale price of $0.75.
    Current token price: $0.90.
The last 90 days have been an amazing journey. We have pushed through some significant development hurdles — driven in large part by serious telecom partner interest in OpenCryptoTrust’s killer apps. We can hardly wait to share the details of these global partnerships — which have resulted in a shift in priorities and therefore strategy.

We are proud of the fact that we have a real product that is beyond MVP — and a real go-to-market strategy. We know that it will be incredibly powerful for investors and our community to see our project generate big global partnerships, large customer adoption, and revenue BEFORE our public crowdsale begins.
The excitement that our project has generated globally — and with very little advertising — has been humbling. We are listening to our partners and have been asked to customize aspects of OpenCryptoTrust’s “killer applications” in order to make our revolutionary blockchain based telco services available to market SOONER.
We’ve decided that this approach will ultimately benefit our investors and community as a whole!

How it will work
OpenCryptoTrust will postpone our public token sale set to launch on August 2nd, 2018, and extend the private pre-sale to November 1st, 2018.
In addition the public sale (ICO) will be live for 90 days (rather than 60) and will extend beyond the holiday season — ending January 29th, 2019.
We will hold the current price @ $0.90 through the private sale. As indicated in our white paper the public sale pricing is determined by a linear function that begins at $0.93 and ends at $1.31.
There’s no minimum participation in either the pre-sale or the main sale and the white list registration is open now (you can get updates by joining our Telegram). OCT will be listed on exchanges following the close of the main sale (January 29, 2019), meaning the tokens will be liquid from the outset.
If you’re interested in participating, you can register now for the pre-sale!

What this means
Since a high of $1,389 in January, Ethereum (ETH) has lost nearly 70% of its value leading to large sell-offs and causing investors and crypto-enthusiasts alike to take a more cautious approach to token sales and the cryptocurrency space as a whole. Rather than launch our token sale at this stage, we will finance ourselves internally and focus on product development and closing trial partnerships prior to launching our token sale. We will continue to update and grow our community as things develop and as the markets become more bullish — as is predicted by many analyst to happen (much like last year with bitcoin) towards the end of the year.
If you have already registered for the pre-sale, there’s nothing you need to do, your registration will still be valid when the sale launches at November 1st, 2018.

Regulatory statement
The coming regulation (from FINMA, SEC, and other financial governing organizations) should be embraced by all who are not bad actors. It means that there will be protection for ICO participants and investors. Most people are aware that a large number of ICOs will fail — often because the projects themselves don’t really require a token or blockchain technology itself — but in many cases because they miss the point of why an ICO is needed in the first place. It’s goal should never be JUST to raise money. The goal of an ICO should be to build a sustainable community — the goal should be to build an ecosystem of support for a powerful decentralized network.

Following the general premise that if you are raising funding for a platform/project/solution that isn’t yet built (with the expectation that what you build will have greater value) well then you have a security!
For those unaware OpenCryptoTrust’s public sale is compliant with SEC Rule 506(c) of Reg D. In the US the “public sale” will be for accredited investors only; outside the US it’s subject to local requirements of the jurisdiction of the investor.
As indicated in our original White Paper (published 2nd quarter 2017) and for non-regulatory reasons (purely technical) we decided that after the ERC-20 based token sale (a security) — that we would migrate tokens 1 for 1 to our own hybrid blockchain platform. This was necessary to support an extremely high volume of telco based transactional activity on our highly robust and scalable network (you can’t have clients waiting for block production in order to get their email — lol). Once migrated to our hybrid blockchain platform the OCT token will act purely as a utility token. Exciting to see the rest of the ICO industry begin to take similar steps!

Thank you for your continued support as the entire OpenCryptoTrust team works hard to bring our modern telecommunication solutions to the world!

Take a look around the crypto community, both in meatspace and online, and it would be fair to say that the majority of participants are male. This is borne out in a recent survey of 2,000 Americans which shed light on the makeup of the bitcoin space, highlighting a stark gender divide. In fact Google Analytics data estimates less than 4% of bitcoin users to be female. The question is, why?

Source: https://news.bitcoin.com/why-arent-there-more-women-in-bitcoin/?utm_source=Why

Not sure how seriously to take this topic - and not really the original (valid) question - but most of the responses are just silly. So I'm a dude but I'm aware of many incredibly talented women in blockchain/crypto/bitcoin - and I'm proud to be working with some of the best both in terms of engineers and public relations. Our parent company's CEO is a woman - and a big supporter of women in technology - and well tbh there aren't enough women in technology in general - let alone "bitcoin".

Bitcoin and Ethereum are two of the most popular digital coins today. In terms of value, bitcoin is much larger than ethereum, but in terms of potential, ethereum is quite capable of dealing with bitcoin. So you think which one is better?

Let's not forget these facts:
>While Bitcoin may hold greater value today (even with the current drop) - it is only possible to support 3-7 Transactions per Second
>Ethereum supports smart contracts and in addition can process 15 Transactions per Second!

As a point of reference Visa credit card network handles 60,000 Transactions per second!

My company is developing a platform that similarly to Graphene - can support 100,000 Transactions Per Second!!

Ever hear of OpenCryptoTrust?

You will soon!

I've heard this and it would be big news. It's ironic with Jamie Dimon making negative statements about Bitcoin. However, any smart investor has to seriously consider cryptocurrencies or they are going to miss out on a huge opportunity. They've already missed the last eight years of huge gains and there's no denying that it's here for the long term.

But of course it is good news when large banks want to invest in Bitcoin. It will probably help drive the price up some and make Bitcoin less volatile.

@aardvark15 - yeah...my thought is that if Goldman Sachs creates a fund then the price of Bitcoin won't just DROP because some idiot tries to manipulate the market by claiming Scam or Bubble.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Government of Singapore Supports ICOs with logical necessary Caveats! on: October 10, 2017, 04:47:28 PM
The below five points come from a recent statement (10/03/17) issued by MAS (Money Authority Singapore) on the subject of ICOs:

It seems to me that their position is favorable with logically necessary caveats!

1. ICOs are financial activities that falls under MAS’ regulatory ambit.
2. On 1 August 2017, MAS clarified that if tokens are structured in the form of securities, the ICO must comply with existing securities laws aimed at safeguarding investors’ interest.
3. ICOs must meet the requirements of having to register a prospectus and obtain intermediary or exchange operator licences.
4. ICOs must also comply with existing rules on anti-money laundering and countering terrorism financing.
5. MAS has not issued new legislation specifically for ICOs, but will continue to monitor the developments of such offers, and consider more targeted legislation if necessary.
