[BillyBobZorton]

Anything that has to do with attractive young girls, specially attractive young japanese girls, should do good on the internet, like it or not, it's a fact. So this will be a good ICO.

[takao]

Yes, this is a serious thing. ICO + TV show for fun.

[amacar2]

If you guys also have real TV channel than worth to watch this. What actually Torekabu means, is this name of the coin you have taken?

[Gahs]

Yes, this is a serious thing. ICO + TV show for fun.

Using girls to raise funds is innovative in the crypto world.

I hope they create a coin that will stand the test of time...

[takao]

Now ICO summary has been updated: http://bitgirls.io/en/

More details are to come in 12 hours.

[TheCoffeeTimes]

Cool project!
The most prominent and exciting feature, among other thing, is to securitize persons to see the value of them.
You will be able to watch the fluctuating value of "Torekabu", like stocks. Actually Torekabu is a Japanese compound word, "Tore= trading cards" and "Kabu = stocks". This concept is brand new and a part of what we'll call "Token Economy".  
Let's buy Torekabu on ICO and encourage your favorite girls!

Also you can enjoy the TV programme itself because you can give an affect the contents of TV show by voting, if you have Torekabu.

[takao]

Hi all,

[disconnectme]

I saw a video on Bit Girls on youtube, I think if this project becomes successful it make be game changer in movies industries crypotocurrencies have opened great avenue for sourcing for fund, How much is the team looking to get?

[takao]

As you know TV production costs millions of dollars anyway and we believe this would not be profitable for first few seasons.
We'd rather challenge the rules of legacy entertainment system with blockchain technology, and will be happy if this brings us certain amount of profit in near future.

[chaoscoinz]

Pics of girls needed 

Agreed  for research purposes

[aidia]

This hast to be one of the worst ideas I've ever seen. Good luck with your ICO, I bet you can find enough stupid people to invest anyways.

[chaoscoinz]

Though it may seem like a bad idea, it could end up being a quick flip for speculators. Lord knows, how many coins I've missed out on that was an easy profit. Reminds me of an old 90s cartoon skit, "Good idea, Bad idea". Best of luck though, on your business venture.

First you have to resister Zaif exchange as a member. Then you can take part in ICO by clicking "Buying BTC, XEM, XCP, or ZAIF" at close to each members' Torekabu.
And you can join more info here https://telegram.me/bitgirlsio

Thanks.

[TheCoffeeTimes]

Ico started yesterday,how much collect.

Bitgirls have already collected 220BTC, an amazing job!

[szachta]

When i register there are couple of girls which girls deposit to collect later my token or this is just no mater.

[moodcrawler]

amazing amount of BTC raised:)

[bctacc32]

Check out the "bitgirls summary.pdf" on http://bitgirls.io/en/ (below the counter).
Direct link here.

[bctacc32]

When i register there are couple of girls which girls deposit to collect later my token or this is just no mater.

I think it's like that:
Each girl has its own tokens. However, you will receive (general) voting rights for any girls tokens you own.

[rindo]

There will be the following bonus plan, meaning that early participants will get more Torekabu than later ones will with the same amount of money. reminds

48 hours +20%
1st week +10%
3rd week +5%
4th week +0%

[will_k]

48 hours just ended i think

[EnacDomains]

wish i had registered bitgirls and boys

[Bailo]

why do the prices of the girlscards seesaw? this morning the top-girls had a value of nearly btc 85 and now in the evening just at  btc 76-78? 

[electronicash]

I don't really get how this can work. I've read each girl has its own coin to distribute?

I would actually understand if they explain this like how SINGLULARTV did but this is something much complicated for me 

[TheCoffeeTimes]

why do the prices of the girlscards seesaw? this morning the top-girls had a value of nearly btc 85 and now in the evening just at  btc 76-78? 

Because fund raised is composed of not only BTC but also XEM, XCP, and ZAIF. Since the value of Torekabu are calculated in BTC ratio, the value would change when the other currency rate against BTC fluctuates.

[bitcoinisbest]

So what is the actual value of launching this project? And the mid and long terms plans of this project?

[jabo38]

http://bitgirls.io/en/bitgirls-ico-en

“Torekabu”, which you will end up getting at the end of ICO, are going to be distributed to you on 1st November. On 2nd November, you will get one token for one Torekabu to vote. Then you can vote for members related to contents at the first air on 4th November.
Trading will start on 12:00JST, 4th November. Until then, it is only possible to buy Torekabu, not withdraw and sell it.

My guess is that tokens should appear at your zaif account.

[Bailo]

Mh? The Day is over and no token has been distributed. Where can i see my bonus. I still just see my invested amount on zaif exchange.some more information would be helpful.

today i have decided to send my invested btc back to my btc-wallet, because nothing happens. but if i try to withdraw my btc  - nothing. just some information/warning in chinese language with a red warning colour.... as far as the chinese ico's are not completely translated into english i will avoid to invest their ico's.

[bctacc32]

Yes, more information from a representative please.
Computer translator doesn't always help that much (pictures for example), and it's still confusing me a bit

I think by now my account should have some "PACHI" but it's still 0 (zero).

[bctacc32]

We can trade the "Torekabu" now at Zaif.

[bctacc32]

I just received this. Nice

Dear TOREKABU nushi sama (TOREKABU holder),

Now you can trade BitGirls TOREKABU tokens on Zaif.

I have use before only Poloniex. How is even possible make so confused and difficult exchange?

I have now one week play around and if I need give userfriendly points, poloniex will get 95 points and for zaif something between 20 and 30. This is almost impossible use.

Are there coming more exchanges?

Hm, because of the partial translation or...?
For me it's pretty usable actually. I mean, you have the charts, buy/sell tabs, orders and history all on one page.

You should try Kraken

Its looking pretty nice, I hope to see more episodes, they are pretty sexy and good looking so that is making it even better to be honest.

[scambust]

Zaif turning to be a successful bitcoin exchange but the Bitgirls show turning into a flop. Guess you can't win them all.

[JasonXG]

I knew this would suck. Where they even selling these coins ? They used girls to promote a coin and still failed. That's bad.

[norland432]

agree, if they used girls to promote a coin and still failed. That's bad.

[scambust]

I knew this would suck. Where they even selling these coins ? They used girls to promote a coin and still failed. That's bad.

Zaif exchange owns the show. But their success is in bitcoin trading - which currently is top three volume in Japan. You can buy the tokens in their exchange.

[nutildah]

BitGirls tokens are now a huge success!

How/why?

Well, they were at the forefront of the digital trading card scene, predated only by Spells of Genesis and a handful of Rare Pepes. This makes them of interest to the vintage token / historical NFT community, which I suspect will grow along with the success of dissemination of Bitcoin.
