following the development and statistics, i can barely say that this project gained a lot of trust and respect of the investors, current btc amount raised is a kind of wonder and it is not easy to achieved but this project did it and still raising.

[jokowi]

5000 BTC raised is a good signal for antshares

nice project

[btctube]

approx 5,200 BTC so far, wow fantastic amount cause many ICO this years, so investor look this project have good idea and reliable to join this ICO, one week left 7,500 BTC is possible i think and not hard to get thats amount, the team so active make investor trusting in this one

i think whales will join this journey and sent a lot more in last hours...

Its possible that antshares can exceed 8000 btc during the last week of ICO. Its true most of the big investors will try to buy potential coins during the last hours because they already have the idea how much its ico price and their profit will be.  If most of them however are just investing for profit, they may also dump when its released in exchange sites.

You can otc trade your current ico stake to someone.
But I suggest everyone to act cautiously.

What advice would you give to a buyer? As I see it, there are some issues a buyer might be concerned about:
- The garantee that neither the seller nor the escrow (if there is one) will claim the ANS attached to the private key once the ICO's over.
- The medium used to transfer the key that must be chosen so that no other party has access to the key.
- How would you settle a dispute in case many investors claim the same ANS address?

All these points seems to make it very complicated for someone to buy an investor's private key without fully trusting the seller, the escrow and Antshares.

This is an issue we will cover very soon and come up with a policy.

For now, be very cautious when buying ico private keys from others!!!
There is no such a mechanism for now that allows ico stake transfer from one key to another during the refund period!!!
You will need to transfer the claims enjoyed by the investor (his private key) to another one (the private key generated by the buyer).
We don't have this re-distribution mechanism for now! You bear all the risk that the key you are buying has been backed up.

But we'll soon come up with a policy covering this.

are we and those who participate to the signature campaign required to register to the ico page to claim our bounty? or can we just download the wallet later, install and then claim the antshare we gained. because if so i will have to register now.

Will there be  a Mac client available, it seems currently it's only for windows?

Also, is there any documentation on what development/progress was done from the first ICO till now?

That's was basically 1 year of a time gap, were the first ICO participants made aware of this long a delay before investing?

Yep, if you have win, linux and mac wallets at start it will beat LISK, Waves, Rise and all other semisuccesfull ICO's lately.

China is such a big player in crypto but there are no big Chinese projects to be found near the top of Coinmarketcap - I think its probably time that changed and this might be the one to do it.

[adamvp]

Lisk wasn't semi succs'full as ICO (5x ico price in first days)
What I am worried about antshares and why I won't invest more was slack access.
I had some questions which I wanted to discuss before investing more


Hope antshares ICO will be succesfull hovewer!
I keep my fingers crossed!

Damn right! I would think I'd miss the train if for instance i don't get to ride Antshares. Glad I got into their signature campaign as well.  The mentioned ANC is helpful so i hope to have ANC as well. do they give ANC to the participants?

Refund, again, will be open for application after Sept 7th and before the Mainnet launch

The mainnet launch is technically ready, and due in the 4th quarter.

Landing on exchanges will be right after the mainnet launch, also in the 4th quarter, both China-based and overseas exchanges.

So more like end of December 2016 and trading will start beginning 2017.

Looks like early investors from 1st ICO in 2015 investors are pumping this thread hard to dump on 2nd ICO investors.

I'll just wait to pick cheap coins after launch when it drops below current ICO price.

ps. All this money and you can't figure out how to accept more people on Slack... that's not very encouraging for a company that wants to build a decentralized ecosystem... I'm out.

This is strange times for icos. I hope ,this one will stand out especially considering that China is mainly involved here. Anyway a few days left and things look good, Go Ants

An article on Antshares was published by Yahoo finance:

Antshares Blockchain Based Ledger Protocol for Financial Applications Launches Successful ICO
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/antshares-blockchain-based-ledger-protocol-211400004.html

Wouldn't it be nice to include this in the announcement thread?

We say 4th quarter then it will be there, not delaying into 2017.
And ico 1 participants are overwhelmingly based in China.

Hope that gives you some additional info
