CorpEdu ICO website: http://edutainment.tech/corp-edu/

World’s first ICO of B2B educational digital games ecosystem.
Invest in one of the fastest growing market in corporate world, get liquidity and price growth secured!

The last Pre-ICO 3nd phase is to begin on August 13, 2017 and will be open for up to 8 days.
Tokens will be offered with 25% discount at $2.5 each. Only small chunk of tokens will be offered: 70 000 tokens.

While so-called “self-paced education” market passed its zenith and entered a stagnation period, the Corporate education market is on its rise, with an estimated minimum of $35 billion in yearly revenues in digital tools alone.

Today those tools are mostly represented by video courses and interactive tests, but with industry maturity we find more and more games-based and simulation-based digital solutions in corporate universities and discussed at HR conferences. Those are the tools considered to be most efficient ones in nearest future.

Since 2015, the CT Influence Games team has been partnering with the largest CIS communications agency and some private investors developed and published a platform of Business Games Club to enable fast and quality production of such educational simulations. Later that platform became the base for http://simulate.company, B2B service platform. In 18 months the platform became profitable, allowing the CTIG team to start working on the technical details of new types of engines: including complex business financial simulators for integrated businesses (in the first order by our large international mining giant with 120 000 personnel) and strategic decisions making simulator based on Persona Quest (biographical quest game platform) findings.

Also, we worked on new functions and tools for the existing platform: Team cooperation mode (one of the most sought after options for Corporate Universities), SaaS way to work with content creation and publishing, machine learning integration to increase scenario creation capacity. All this attracted the attention of a large B2B business incubator and resulted in opening a branch company in Texas.

Most important of all, we saw a unique market opportunity niche: most corporates realizing now how efficient and expense saving are new digital tools of personnel training and testing. There is still no monopoly or even standards on the market. No platform or trendsetter. Partially Microsoft with LinkedIn and some other large players try to approach this market, but there is still plenty of room to become the new market forming authority. This gives us a good chance to utilize our existing experience and customer base to cut a good slice of this pie, and think of later merging with some other market leader.

Our goal is to invest the money raised at the ICO, not only to market some ready solutions, but to make them accepted worldwide (though today we have a solid 30% lead-to-customer conversion, meaning good quality of our product). To develop new tech solutions and create an ecosystem for serving complex corporate education needs. Moreover, we want to install CorpEdu blockchain tokens in the heart of this ecosystem to promote cross-industry cooperation, referrals and even ideas and tools sales/exchange.

White Paper

[CorpEdu]

Good news!
On the one hand first days of August where tought: everybody followed BTC fork and information was cluttered. On the other hand, by the end of the week we got quite a good flow of pre-ICO orders.

So, to compensate for slow information coberage, the team decided to extend pre-ICO sale to August 07-12, but lower discount: to 35% from 50%.

Reminder: CorpEdu Fund will be ICOed in late August to invest in a number of existing simulation-based digital corporate education projects (like http://simulate.company), and to create CorpEdu Portal with cryptocurrency support: developing ecosystem of corporate education digital tools exchange with CorpEdu coin as mediation and settlement means, as well as means to sell ideas from corporates to providers. More on the website.

Interview abstract on the story of a project: http://edutainment.tech/smart-games/?p=245&lang=en

DIVIDEND PAYOUTS AND PROFITABILITY OF SG TOKEN

TOKEN LIQUIDITY

We consider Buy Back instruments NOT to allow fair reward to our token investors in this investment case, as it is an investment in success, thus we decided for a transparent dividend option. Our SPV company, issuing tokens, will get shares (not less than 30%, especially in BizWorld case) of projects in which, it will invest the ICO proceeds. Dividend flow gained from those will be quarterly used for paying out dividends to SG token holders. To do so, we will quarterly buy most liquid Waves assets (Bitcoin, Etherium, Waves or most probably USD-backed) and distribute them according to SmartGames token holding snapshot as per day of quarter closure.

LEGAL GUARANTEES

To reach our obligations to SG token holders non-virtual, we included them in official signed company documents and plan to work on making this instrument adopted in the legal space of the market. We also plan to officially inquire tax authorities to lower any related risks. We do believe that the ICO market needs to drift into the light from an early pirate-like style, allowing token investors to protect themselves by official legal methods. It is a high level of obligation to bear, but we believe it is the future of the market.

INVESTOR PARTICIPATION IN VOTING

The Waves platform is finalizing development of a secure anonymous voting system of digital asset holders. We will use this system to adopt decisions on investment targets in new projects or other strategic deals. By using this mechanism, we hope also to further increase SG token liquidity in the free exchange market.

INVESTOR RELATIONS

We will work and communicate with SG token holders of both ICO and secondary markets as per best practices of IR in the real equity world. Including but not limited to quarterly management and financial disclosure, public webinar meetings, live communications at larger industry events worldwide, etc. Yes, we do have vast IR experience and take it very seriously.

TOKEN EXCHANGE TRADING

Naturally, we will promote SG token liquidity by placing it not only on the decentralized DEX market (where it will be available from the start), but also by applying for listings on TIDEX and other exchanges, ready to host Waves-based digital assets.


Reminder: BW SmartGames Fund will be ICO-ed in late August to invest in a number of online games projects, aimed specifically to grown up, business/office and 'clever' audiences. Headliner project (ready for massive publishing) is BizWorld, secondary projects, targeted for investments in late-stage development and publishing: Persona Quest, Business Games Club (B2C carve-out only).



Liability of pre-ICO is carried out by BizWorld IP holder in UK

For our http://edutainment.tech/corp-edu project we are starting to analyse best tools to integrate for Waves-based altcoin (CorpEdu in our case) processing.

Any advice?

[SmartGames (Waves platform, verified) tokens]

UPD: pre-ICO sale extended due to fork fuss. Also accepting LiteCoin, Ethereum Classic and Waves now.
UPD2: You get get coins INSTANTLY by participating in pre-ICO on DEX directly with SGIT/BTC and SGIT/ETH pairs!

Part of info:

Dividends: every financial quarter company will register it’s net income and distribute it (keeping only the service fee). Distribution will be commenced by purchasing the most liquid assets on the Waves platform (BitCoin, Etherium, Waves, USD-backed) and delivering them to Waves wallets of tokenholders of «SmartGames» according to a Snapshot of their token possession at the date of quarter closure.

Background: Since its’ foundation in 2014, CT Influence Games studio focuses on the games market for “serious” people, partnering with a number of private investors. One of our best results: the global online multiplayer game, http://BizWorld.guru.

BizWorld .Guru – is a new collectible card game for mobile devices and desktops with a true-to-life simulation of business environment. Game mechanics are based on the experience of doing business from the perspective of team and event management.

We did our best to make them lifelike and logical; they’re easily understood by business sharks, as well as by the newcomers, who are just joining in.

The player’s goal is to build a company’s team and a system of management capable of capturing a larger part of the market in a few "business seasons". It’s acquired through competitive activity against a real-life opponents.

The CTIG team, partners of Social & Political Games and investors in BizWorld decided to go for an ICO. Today it looks like the optimal instrument to get funded for independent publishing and marketing efforts. Especially true, since the team already has veteran marketing managers with experience in exactly our target audience.

We consider that giving out 30% of income in BizWorld is more favorable than 50-60% we would effectively loose with 3-rd party large publisher from the start. Also our own publishing will allow for bearing the full responsibility of our actions, being flexible and able to adopt marketing strategies to our non-standard audiences.

I'd like to hear the community's ideas about a decentralized, digital country. (let's call it a DDC)
This is still a very fledgling idea in my head so I'd like to get people's thoughts and input.

Here are my preliminary ideas:

This DDC will have no physical borders.

To be a citizen of DDC a person will pay a yearly citizen's fee. Non-payment of citizen's fee is considered voluntary withdrawal of citizenship from the DDC.

Features of this DDC citizenship include:

- DDC passport (eventually when this DDC has enough power or influence)
- DDC currency
- a business legal framework, wherein all businesses must adhere to the DDC's laws or face expulsion
- business registration
- direct voting on policies, laws
- completely voluntary
- completely anonymous, private citizenship. citizens register through Tor-like service, pay in anonymous currency, and can give up citizenship anytime

other potential DDC laws or edicts
- mandated or non-mandated universal healthcare for DDC citizens (automatic enrollment in DDC healthcare plan)
- mandatory education or optional education
- negotiations with physical countries, allowing DDC citizens to live in said physical countries (outsourcing military / physical protection)


Other intangible benefits of DDC:
- easy to start, impossible to conquer
- ease of system transfer or withdrawal: if co-opted by powerful interests, citizens can move quickly to another DDC. Because DDC are easy to start, this is a facile process
- benefits of decentralization
- more power and freedom in citizens' hands than they have in physical democracy
- borderless

Someone (knowledgeable) please answer this question.

Wouldn't it be better to make all the hashing power contributed to mining of a coin one huge pool?
Why allow mining pools at all? They only contribute to the risk of a 51% attack.

Also, why payout coins to solvers of a block when you can split the coins up amongst those who contributed hashing power?

Any miner who hashes a coin can get shares based on his hashing power, no mining pools allowed, no 51% risk.

What I mean is, for a new coin, why can't it have this feature built-in?

It seems so simple, am I missing something?

http://www.businessinsider.com/what-it-costs-to-advertise-in-times-square-2012-12

Costs to advertise on 1 Times Square:
anywhere from USD $ 1.1 to 4 million / year

There are also cheaper options I'm sure. Either cheaper billboard or advertise bitcoin for one month.

Let's assume average $2 million per year for one of the really nice ad spots. and we do one month ($2 million / 12 months)

That's 166 BTC at $1000/BTC to put Bitcoin ad in Times Square for one month

Just want to get an idea of how big the crypto currency world is.

.1 % of the world's 7 billion population is 7 million.

i'm guessing crypto currency total users around 0.01%, at 700,000.

Any one have solid data?

See attached picture... anyone know if this is doable...? provided I don't overclock.

Hi all, I"m wondering how many GPU my power supply can support. I have a 630W RaidMax http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035

which is powering a GTX 660 TI (150 Watts max according to nvidia website)

I guess my PSU could probably handle another  200W rated GPU such as 5850, 5870, etc.

Do you think it can also handle a 3rd, like a hd 5770? (only requires 108 watts)

edit: after doing much research, it seems adding 3rd GPU might be pushing it, even if that gpu only takes 108 W
