Safello announces a $600k investment round lead by prominent Bitcoin advocates Erik Voorhees and Roger Ver joined by Blockchain.info CEO Nicolas Cary and angel investors Victor & Victor. The Sweden based company also launches a complete redesign of their website to gear up for their European expansion as the safest way into Bitcoin.

With the help of our users and investors, we have done a complete redesign of the previous website. Making it easier to verify and buy/ sell Bitcoins. We have reduced the verification process to a one time event, once you have done it you can trade for as much as you like. This has been done without compromising the KYC aspect of our business.

Mobile BankID has been added for all our swedish customers, this enables you to register and verify without leaving your computer or sending in any documents.

Any non Swedish customer who is a resident within the EU or ESS may purchase bitcoin using SEPA.

Update:
We have fixed all the early stage bugs and have improved on all the small details of the website, check it out!

Safello har nyligen slutfört en investeringsrunda om 4 miljoner kronor. Investeringsrundan leddes av Bitcoin-förespråkarna Erik Voorhees och Roger Ver, tillsammans med VD:n för Blockchain.info, Nicolas Cary, och affärsängeln Victor & Victor. Safello har nu lanserat en helt ny webbdesign av företagets hemsida i syfte att förbereda sig för expansionen på den europeiska marknaden genom att kunna erbjuda en säker väg till Bitcoin.

Med hjälp av våra investerare och användare, har vi gjort en helt ny hemsida. Vi har gjort det lättare att verifiera sig samt köpa och sälja Bitcoin. Vi har reducerat friktionen i verifikationen genom att göra processen till en en gångs händelse, du behövar bara göra det en gång sedan kan du köpa och sälja för hur mycket du vill.

Vi har även tillagt MobilBankID till vår tjänst, du kan alltså registrera och verifiera dig med hjälp av din smartphone utan att lämna datorn eller skicka in några dokument.

Uppdatering:
Sedan launchen har vi finslipat tjänsten och eliminerat buggar.

Hi!

Me, and a friend that works within venture capital investments compiled a database of the companies we assessed together. It currently contains 300 bitcoin startups - currently the world's biggest database in terms of # of bitcoin startups - and we want it to serve the purpose of helping entrepreneurs and investors to get a quick overview in order to further participate in building a viable bitcoin ecosystem.

We want to keep it open source, i.e. open for everyone's usage, and contributions, and we really want all of you to be a part of continue help us develop this (both with updates and feedback). You can access it here: http://bit.ly/1aGxaLv (send a request if you want to edit and we will approve it). Worth mentioning is that many of the startups in the db are focusing on crypto currencies in general, and some also have operations that stretch beyond the crypto currency space (e.g. a couple of security companies with BTC focus), but they all have a significant role within the bitcoin ecosystem. Looking forward to hear every ones feedback

Best Regards

Hi!
I am interested in selling two of my five preordered Neptunes.
The orders are paid for and confirmed.
The order number is #11090
I can either send them to you when they arrive or I can arrange so that you can host them in a datacenter with mine (currently hosting 5 Jupiters for different people, works fine).
I live in Central Stockholm and I will be going to KncMiners office to pick them up once they are ready.

I keep the right to not sell any of the miners if I don't like the price and I keep the right to sell more than two if I do.

[Introduction:]

Hey guys!
I am happy to bring you a very exiting project.
The IceDrill.ASIC mining operation,
A 250-363 Thash mining farm which will be built and based in Canada
This is the biggest project that I have been involved with so far and I am happy to bring the opportunity for the bitcoin community to invest and get involved.
I have been involved in previous projects and IPOs such as ASICMINER,SatoshiDice,Gamma Bitcoin Fund and many more.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to respond.

Introduction:

DigiMex, a British Virgin Islands company (BVI Company Number: 1784369), is deploying a large-scale Bitcoin mine named IceDrill. The company is hereby releasing a asset (symbol: IceDrill.ASIC) for shares in the profits of the IceDrill mine.

To build the IceDrill mine, DigiMex has a special relationship with HashFast to acquire significant volumes of its new 400 Gh/s ASIC chips on a continual basis.

The IceDrill mine, at launch, will be running with 250-363 Terahashes (363,000 Gigahashes) of power. This asset comprises +60% of the mine’s ongoing profits (meaning roughly 100% of 150-217 TH power). However, this asset is NOT tied to a specific hashrate. Rather, it is tied to a specific percentage of IceDrill profits, meaning that as the mine grows in hash power, so too do the profits earned by the shares. While one share will be worth roughly 10 Mhash of mining power upon launch, it will be worth more hash power over time as the mine grows.

In order to grow, 75% of the profit from each shares share will be paid out to the investor, and the remaining 25% will be reinvested in additional mining capacity on a continual basis. Thus, the mine will grow substantially over time to maintain the most efficient market share.

The IceDrill mine will launch with its initial 250-363 Th/s capacity in the last quarter of 2013, likely in November.


Purpose of the asset
Money raised through this offering will be combined with privately-raised capital (already secured) for the purpose of purchasing specialized ASIC mining equipment and establishing a secure, climate-controlled mine facility in Europe (the exact location is already selected but is confidential for security reasons).

Voting Rights
Any public votes presented by ASICMINER to all shareholders of ASICMINER may be voted on BitFunder towards a single decision by the G.ASICMINGER-PT shareholder account.

Deposit shares:
Until an officially designated exchange is online, you will need to send “Friedcat” a message and ask him to transfer your shares to the BitFunder G.ASICMINER-PT asset. You will also need to send us a msg stating the number of shares, and the address they are being transferred from.

If the passthrough receives this board, 95% of the mining income will be paid out to the shareholders of G.ASICMINER-PT as an additional dividend payment. Additional dividend disbursement will be no more longer than every ASICMINER dividend disbursement. At the discretion of the G.ASICMINER-PT issuer, these extra dividends may be distributed sooner.
