About an hour left before the price changes. Next price is 0.00011BTC/ASC.
45.3BTC is raised right now.


It has changed now. Over 45 BTC has been invested as at now. Maybe Investors are in for the rush hour. More Investments were made today compare to first 6 days of the IPO. I wish the Ascendancy Team Goodluck!

Thank You nelson4lov,

1 hour left until price change and 15% bonus is still being offered.

Exchange Update

We have been in active contact with a number of exchanges regarding exclusivity during our trading period July 2017 --> January 2018.
During this period you will be able to trade your IPO token on your Ascendancy IPO panel to the exclusive exchange.
This will allow you to trade your IPO token before a public product is released.
The exclusivity will end when Ascendancy is publicly released and more exchanges could add Ascendancy.

We will reveal more details on this when we have an update.
I'll be waiting sir
more precisely when ICO will end. If in July. It feels very long
Please detail the right back your information sir.

March 10th 2017 is the end of the IPO, We estimate that the decentralized network will be running by July and trading will be available via our site, The whole product of Ascendancy which includes frontend UI, Better interface for node server, API and the SDK wont be finished until Q4 2017 or Q1 2018.

Richard Aldridge
ASC tokens after the IPO will be available on your website only and the real exchanges will be released at the end of 2017 or at the beginning of 2018?
There will be your internal(domestic) exchange for ASC token only? And who can be sure that you will modify all of your products till a logical conclusion?

ASC Token and IPO data will still be available on our website until trading phase starts in July/August 2017. When the trading phase has started you will be able to send your ASC Token to an exchange which we are currently in talks with. We will have no internal exchange, all trading will have to go via a trusted exchange that is running an Ascendancy node. There is no way for us to edit the exchanges data as that would belong to them.

Richard Aldridge

What about ICO failed if you can't raise the minimum funding target? You will refund the investors, we know, but will you still continue the project without funding?

We are in the process of developing Ascendancy regardless of the situation with funds. The funds are escrowed until we release a product that our 3 trusted escrows are satisfied with and we leave this up to their interpretation (https://ascendancy.io/escrow.pdf). We do not have access to funds until the product is complete.

This is an opportunity for investors to obtain some token equity which in turn the capital is used to market and fund our staff to market and develop. Ascendancy will be completed whether no more funds are invested at all but the price will increase after the IPO if we have the funds and backing to push to an exchange, to market to a wider varierty of people.

Ascendancy will be an ever evolving platform that people can be a part of, during this early development stage we are open to suggestions and you can be a part of that. We do not force anyone to invest. as I say, This is an opportunity.

The first ipo price week for Ascendancy ends on February 3rd 2017 at 20:00 GMT.
We still have a few slots available for our 15% bonus which ends on February 7th 2017.

DimiZb,

In the event where we do not raise enough funds and we do not see ourselves completing the project, we will allow investors to retract their investment. However, if you read the above quote, you'll see that we will try and complete the Framework regardless of how much is invested. We are working tirelessly to market Ascendancy all around so people can see the viability in our project.

Thank you,
Andrew Penn

So Richard, When Should we be expecting the Platform to be finished? 2018 ? I think that's too far because the ICO will end Q1 2017. I can't say If I'm disappointed or not but I'd be willing to wait.

Nelson4Lov,

The project is expected to be completed by Q4 2017 - Q1 2018, however we are working very hard and we hope to release the product before then.
We gave that date in the whitepaper and the roadmap so that if we hit any hiccups on the way it won't surprise investors that we released that late.

That also gives us room to surprise investors if we manage to release early which we are hoping will happen.

Hello Richard,

Some trolls here got a point when they ask about your identity's.

I want to invest but now i am curious as to why you keep ignoring this question?

We are not ignoring this, It has been answered on multiple occasions. I personally do not see why this matters, I am a developer who wants to create a great product, not become a celebrity. Due to the issues that arise with this we have set up a > VERY SAFE < escrow system with 3 trusted escrows and as said in a previous post. Please read below, We do not receive the funds until the product has been released to a satisfactoy standard as judged by the three trusted forum escrows.

It just looks like a Lisk clone to me.

Apart from having a similar system and purpose to lisk there is nothing cloned. MS Windows and Linux serve the same purpose and do a lot, hundreds of the same tasks, Would you say they are clones?

I assure you there will be nothing cloned. Ascendancy is developed from the ground up, with a different mechanism of work when it comes to developing DApps. We are using similar technology in node.js, but that is simply because it fits the best purpose for our product. We want to make DApp development as simple as possible and having a natural javascript interpreter is so much more efficient. Ascendancy was first planned development in C++ with LUA, but for our customers ease of development we have used node.js and javascript.

You are welcome to come by our slack if you want to discuss the in depth technical details.

is it true on March 3, ICO is going to end up?
I would like to ask about the distribution of the coins was when?
What if these coins failed do you still pay for participants of the campaign?

Ije07,

ICO Price goes up on February 3rd, you can see the dates here: https://ascendancy.io/#/ipo
The coin distribution will occur when the Ascendancy framework is complete.

We plan on creating Ascendancy either way but if it does fail, we will discuss with our Escrows and the community of our plan of action.

Lots of arguments going on this thread , this for sure will lead to bring more investors to ASC , only thing needed at the moment from the team is come online with a youtube promotion video , so many here will relax.
 
Hi!
Right now we are working on a new version of the whitepaper with a more simplified part and a more technical part.
After that we will get a Youtube promotion video up asap.

-- Axel Karlsson

Hi,
Where I can see the source code please?
Thanks,

Ascendancy is still in development, During this early process due to lots of changes and keeping development tidy we are using our own private development gitlab. Source Code will be released when Ascendancy is released or during the later stages of development when we feel the community can benefit from the code we have at that time.

Where does it say only 2BTC is invested?

P2607,

It says that right here: https://ascendancy.io/#/ipo
But we are working tirelessly on continued marketing and development.

We plan on showing the community more and more regardless of any number on that IPO page.

For the whitepaper's emphasis on user-friendliness, it is ironic that a relative newbie like me had to also read a bunch of thread pages to finally deduce the apparent intended purpose of Ascendancy, beyond a very vague goal of helping people create decentralized applications.

(Imagine if someone said their business plan was simply "to create applications": You'd ask what applications, why, and how, in which market sector, with what advantages over competitors and alternatives).

Apparently Ascendancy's actual purpose can be summed up as: kind of like LISK but supposed to be more user-friendly and modular, to whatever degree that matters, also somehow more efficient

Lisk is a large $16 million market cap coin, out for a long time.  Yet, as near as I can tell at quick glance, nobody has so far ever developed a decentralized application on it that is actually functional with real users, beyond their brief list of concepts and prototype ideas.

I'm pretty sure, if that is accomplished in Lisk or another decentralized application framework like hypothetical Ascendancy, the pioneers will be groups of experienced programmers, not utter casual newbies.  Yet, along with a silly unprofessionally irrelevant quote bashing U.S. math scores compared to other countries, Ascendancy's whitepaper talks about target users for whom "cryptography is a scary word" because "they associate it with mathematics."  Those are not the people going to be creating some of the world's first dApps anyway.

The actual example applications in the whitepaper seem to be what would not be tried by mere newbies, so, if user-friendliness is a particular advantage obtained, it would only be user-friendliness by the standards of a tool built for programmers or close to it.

One example application is a "fully featured cryptocurrency in a separate container."  That possibly means helping some users create a new coin or token, in a more customizable manner than just an Ethereum token or just paying a fraction of a Btc to a coin creation service like Creatio.  Having a market niche of large enough size is unknown, particularly as I know Creatio is currently bringing in only around a bitcoin a month in net service buys (other than cycling Yobit bots and speculators).

Another example Ascendancy application is creating a "website/blog," which is presumably cryptocurrency-related in some unspecified manner.  A high-end interpretation would be something heavily cryptocurrency-based and aimed at taking on the likes of Wordpress or Steem, but it seems to rather be in the "simple" section of the list.  So maybe it just means adding some kind of crypto payment widget to a website otherwise unrelated to crypto.

But nearly all of this has to be deduced or wildly guessed, as the whitepaper is mainly just vague.

To have even a chance at obtaining anywhere close to 480 Btc, drastic measures would need to be taken, probably including an improved whitepaper and some working example of something, before the end of the ICO.  You're presently asking for a half million dollars with a whitepaper less refined than some college essays.  If having seen enough prior ICOs, even the fact that this is only a 18-page thread is a red flag warning for chance of failure at drawing enough community interest for a goal that ambitious.

As a possible would-be investor, I'd be happy to be proven wrong if it means a way for me to make money, but neither the current whitepaper, nor apparently previously unresearched naivety about plausible ICO results, give any confidence that Ascendancy has a well-developed business plan.
Hello, Velenar.

Thank you for your constructive and professional criticism.
We recently sent out a survey to the community and they have pointed out the same things regarding the difficulty finding information about the application itself, the ticker and why Ascendancy is better than the competitors.
I've written a couple of documents on those subjects but they're not ready to publish yet.  

We will hopefully have a new version of the whitepaper published this week.
It will include a better technical explanation for developers and also a more pedagogical explanation for non-developers.
We will also include more practical uses for the framework when we release the whitepaper.

If you would like to discuss further or ask any questions, you're welcome to join our Slack Channel.

I think this is the main issue for this project, people are finding it difficult to differentiate it from Lisk-like project, the team need to work to correct this assumption.

Jacaf01,

We have been constantly assisting the communitty in differentiating Ascendancy from Lisk.
If you'd like to have an in-depth discussion on it, you can Join our Slack.

We're always willing to speak with members of the community on any issues that they see with Ascendancy.

Thank you,
Andrew Penn

I have a question, is this a Lisk clone? I just hope this doesn't turn out to be another "RISE".

Cyberspacemonkey,

Ascendancy is not a Lisk clone, we have discussed this with many other people that have asked the same question.
Our plan for Ascendancy is to make it easier to use by the average person along with developing faster and more efficient algorithms in order to make the Ascendancy Framework work better.

If you'd like to discuss more about Ascendancy and how we plan on achieving these goals, you're welcome to Join our Slack.

Thank you,
Andrew Penn
