The total supply will be 1,100 Million TIM tokens during the public sale.

TIM is an infrastructure project. And as such there can not be an inherent increase of token value by a common enterprise. The only way of increase in TIM's value by adoption by varoous other types of businesses. Businesses can host their services on TIM blockchain. Some flagship businesses like Fiat-2-Fiat remittance and blockchain taxi are being started by TIM in partnership with global companies.
TIM tokens may appreciate by such adoptions which are being promoted through TIM foundation and positive referrals from partners.
This is a common feature of infrastructure blockchain like Ethereum and Bitcoin, where the inherent tokens are as good as the infrastructure features.
Patents are an important way of safeguarding the interest of investors and token owners. The IP allows for securely disallowing the dilution of platform's assets by copying our software and business model.

The possibility of replacing intermediary based financial or commercial systems is becoming a reality by mass adoption of decentralized ledger technology. There are various types of utilities being tested on DLT based architecture. While the early success has fueled the digitization of various types of commerce, the bandwidth of blockchains have largely limited its applicability. The limited bandwidth is a challenge to onboard various new business models. Also the bandwidth issue has increased the cost of transaction on the popular blockchains. The solution propagated so far have led to centralization of the network or bottlenecks in the ease-of-usage in some two layer approaches; due to wallet warm up or similar restrictions. The current state of blockchains do not allow easy participation in mining also. The cost related to mining fee or capex of becoming a miner inhibits the micropayments, which actually was a cornerstone of peer to peer money.
Other issue in development of healthy blockchain platform is fragmentation of community, which on one hand has led to multiple innovation but has also created loss of developmental focus on a stronger and useful platform in alignment with the father of current generations of blockchains, Satoshi Nakamoto. One probable reason could be the conventional software development approach which starts with small test cases and scales up gradually. But one cannot change the blockchain everyday like small patchwork in any enterprise system. The patchwork and piece meal approach has led to fragmentation. The
support of community and fork proofing the network by means of para-legal barriers as well as technological measures is going to guarantee a stable and sustainable blockchain.
What is needed is a high performance system which is future ready. Everything from the bandwidth up to the cryptographic nature of the blockchain has to be future proof from the current edges of science. This is to also ensure that the irreversibility of transactions, double spending protection, and ensuring that honest nodes make the majority of network strength. These are key considerations while making this blockchain architecture.
For various types of security mechanism in this architecture implementation, loss of stake is one primary way of censuring the offenders. The network is built for high bandwidth, so flood attacks are most prominent. Apart from various verification mechanism, the network penalizes attackers to have economic toll of attacks.

Thank you for nice comments and feedbacks, TIM is an infrastructure project (blockchain with upto 100 million tx/sec and quantum secure). ICO is only opportunity to TIM tokens in bulk. TIM blockchain will be used by many enterprise , government and private organization . As the utility of TIM increases the value of token will increase. Many companies will use the TIM infrastructure and build their application on TIM Blockchain. For every transaction on TIM there is gas fee for that customer has to buy TIM Token from open market. This will create demand of token and value will increase over time. TIM is the only blockchain which can meet the demand and scale of Enterprise transaction. TIM is under proposal to big companies like avaloq(www.avaloq.com ) by its VCs and also TIM has its own venture in blockchain taxi which will disrupt the taxi giants like UBER. TIM economics is not based on hype but real world usage . Be it Fx transaction, logistics , prevention of counterfeit medicine , TIM is ready for it. Tim has already developed ASIC chip for IOT devices to be integrated with TIM blockchain to be used in banking on chip and logistics and Ecommerce. TIM could be first trillion $ blockchain in future and killer of Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Security Notice: TIM is not a security in itself. TIM is only a platform and it's token ($TIM) is a means to safeguard the platform. The token is not tied to any commodity or service(as mentioned above). The appreciation in value is not through a common enterprise but by any public business willing to self-invest it's resources to build itself around TIM.

We have been developing the TIM technology from 2016. And our Pre-ICO was aimed to make a seed community to test our marketing and user-experience. Therefore we kept 3 months of gap between pre-ICO and ICO to execute our PR strategy.
Also the gap is not something unusual. Many ICOs keep a gap of 3 to 6 months(some even a year) to build on iterative feedback from community.

Thank you for your good comments. We believe that A high bandwidth peer to peer money would allow commoditization of various types of societal values to be transacted on a single system increasing the cross industry commerce, security, decentralism as well as reliability. Geolocation based node identity provides part of the solution to create uniform load distribution aided by statistical block storage and quantum proof keys to achieve true decentralization along with performance. The p2p network is two layer combination of multiple graphs in lower layer and a global blockchain which stores a fingerprint representation of the each of the graphs by timestamping the hash. The longest chain proves the validity of transactions and also the proof of participation by majority of graphs to generate maximum consensus (or supersingular isogenic encryption for 400+ graphs). The structure of generated multigraph in the lower layer of graphs of the network has other interesting properties like equivalence to Ramanujan graph(for n ~> 400) which would provide switchover to quantum safe encryption when graph network grows above threshold.

We are in process of completing the due-diligence for listing on various exchanges. The major requirement is trading volume which will be evidenced to exchanges after ICO start date.

TIM is GPS combined with blockchain. And this changes everything. It exponentially improves the performance of permission-less agents by a new consensus mechanism based on geomining. The dapps become hyperlocal and geo-location aware. This boosts security and experience. The MVP network, at BitPost, provides 100k+tps capabilities for token transactions, smart contracts, IOT array operations scalable to 100M tps by Q4–2018. TIM network is automatically and dynamically managed by swarms and geo-mining for load distribution, fraud detection and network operations.

TIM blockchain contains root layer and lower layer called as mutigraph. Below Diagram shows how blocks are mined by lower layer and added to the root layer. Each block is added always at the end of the blockchain.TIM graph miner (a node in the graph is also a miner) mines micro blocks in each graph and this is verified by upper layer blockchain miner. Hash of the block mined by given graph is stored in the new block created by block miner in root layer. The block of graph is stored in the nodes of that particular graph only. So, the root layer is very light weight as it stores only the Merkle root of blocks of lower layer graph.
The blockchain miner broadcast the new mined block to lower layer to be verified by the lower graph. A malicious intent by blockchain miner will be caught by lower layer graph.

In today’s world, most of the blockchain coin prices are driven by scarcity model and hype which is not based on real world use case. None of the blockchain is capable enough to meet the demand of enterprise and governments. They need high transaction rate and security against future thread like quantum attack. Most of the banks are still keeping themselves away from existing blockchains because of high transaction fees, partial decentralism and future quantum attacks.
This is where TIM will play an important role in solving real use case of the world. TIM supports high transaction rate (up to 100 million tx/sec), is quantum secure yet low fee and fully decentralized.

TIM is infrastructure platform, and is not a representative of any object, commodity or service. There cannot be a speculative mechanism for TIM. The TIM tokens cannot appreciate by any common enterprise. As per legal opinion, the ICO qualifies for howey test to be a utility category. We actively monitor the new regulations and keep advising our investors for any changes. We reserve the right to amend our ICO based of any such advisory by regulators.

Alpha preview of test net is already running at https://www.talking.im/network/. Full test net will be released by end of May.

TIM has deployed 36 test nodes on Amazon webservice (cloud) across the world. These test nodes generates transactions. Here, the Nodes are divided among five triangles / graph. These transactions are mined by the same nodes in respective triangles. Once the consensus is arrived then the winner node in blue announces the claim and this is pushed to blockchain miner in upper layer. Ultimately the Merkle root of block is added to a new block created on root blockchain. Alpha preview also displays what is current network state, how many partitions are created. Right now, 5 partition / triangle / graph is shown.
