Is it okay to send btc with a blockchain.info wallet to redeem ELC?

Dazza, thank you for explaining the FAA problems.  I am reading more on Homomorphic Encryption.

When will the crowd sale end and mining begin?  What algo will it use or is it something new?  Will it utilise CPU and GPU computational power or just one to start off with?  Lastly, will these functions be available upon release?

Yes you can. Before proceeding store your private keys in a safe place (wallet > private keys).
Then send the amount you wish to the address of the crowdfunding that is shown at http://elastic.pro/crowdsale.
The private key of the address you sent from is all you'll need to have your ELC balance accredited.

You can send from your Electrum wallet. This is how I would do it.

1. I would send some BTC to the address from the Elastic Coin website:






2. I would check on blockchain.info which addresses the BTC were actually sent from.
We are interested in THE FIRST address the BTC came from.






3. In the last step, I would lookup the address I got in step 2 in my electrum addresses list, and export the private key. The I'd keep it in a safe place:
(Yeah, I know! In this example these addresses do not match. But it's just an example  )

Thanks for the tips @Evil-Knievel

I also labeled my transaction so if I do need a specific key I can easily track it down.  I used my electrum wallet for the payment.

where dowmload wallet ? and how to buy elc dev

[nickenburg]

I am going to keep a eye on this one.

But I am not convinced yet about this.
Just because there is no real leader who can be hold responsible, if something goes wrong.

Also there is no real information about what the future will be like for Elastic a real plan where this is heading.
And is the decentralized supercomputer like Ethereum? or is it going to be something different?

[cyberhacker]

Do I get it right...
Countdown follows BTC mined blocks (24208 to go now).
About 150 new blocks per day are found, so the crowdfunding will end in about 160 days?

Unless the community agrees on a shorter period of time, yes.

Yes i think we all agree on a shorter period of time!

make it 60 days from now on.

I was looking at that too.  In particular I looked at the tenth reference.  Much of it was over my head, but I was able to understand enough to make the following observations.  First, it uses Boolean Circuits as its model of computation. BCs are not Turing-complete.  Second, it requires full homomorphic encryption.  As I have previously remarked, existing homomorphic cryptosystems are not practical.  Third, it only considers malicious workers.  Our threat model should include malicious clients, as well as clients and workers collaborating to attack the network.

In conclusion, its an interesting field of research, and one which we should keep our eyes on, but its not ready for prime-time..  I am now looking at the four projects linked to in the wiki page, which purport to make verifiable computing a practical reality.
