HUMANIQ: A BRAND NEW FINANCIAL ECOSYSTEM TO EMPOWER THE WORLD'S TWO BILLION UNBANKED
Dear Bitcointalk,
The key to a successful start-up project is to make sure that it is a unique and superior solution to an existing problem, rather than a solution in search of a problem. The problem that we intend to solve - is how to connect the world’s two billion unbanked to the global economy, with all the benefits this provides them. Humaniq has a brilliantly innovative model and we think you’re going to like it.
Humaniq will provide blockchain-based financial services and access to the global economy to users in emerging economies via a mobile app. We believe this app can create a huge network of users who will access services such as insurance, P2P lending, remote work, and small business loans, all provided by third party companies who will plug into Humaniq’s API.
Let's be very clear: we are not talking about a generic mobile app for a traditional bank, nor are we going to be yet another mobile bitcoin wallet. At Humaniq, we are creating an entirely new financial ecosystem, built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. And this is truly a win-win - the end users have the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty, and engage in the digital economy, and the supporters of the currency will have a token that will have stability and longevity - as well as have utility. Humaniq President Alex Fork, hosting conference with Vitalik Buterin in Moscow
MERGING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, SMART PHONES AND BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION TO CREATE A NEW PARADIGM
We identified three key questions that Humaniq needs to answer to be successful:How do you create a fair and equitable system for all users?
How do you eliminate the hardware and energy requirements of mining for new users?
What if many users do not have access to formal identification and are unfamiliar with email and 2FA? Humaniq is using the well-established architecture of Ethereum, rather than a proprietary blockchain, as the basis of our platform. For this, we are creating our own exchange-tradeable token - HMQ. In addition, our system will also be able to handle transactions in ether, bitcoin and possibly other cryptocurrencies.
We’re using a new concept called Proof of Face (PoF), a radical departure from the energy and computationally intensive PoS and PoW methods used for most blockchain currencies. New tokens will be generated by user actions, such as opening an account, inviting friends, and carrying out other one time actions, so that every user will start with a limited amount of HMQ that they can use to begin interacting with the Humaniq economy.
To eliminate the need for formal ID or emails and complicated passwords, Humaniq is using biometric identification to both register new users and to verify transactions. It will be the first network where every user is guaranteed to be unique.
After discussing this idea with many blockchain and fintech experts and following their very positive feedback, we are now proud to present to you: Humaniq, a new financial ecosystem whose focus is on connecting the unbanked and underbanked, worldwide.
Usage Case 1- P2P and Small Business Lending
A user has an idea to do something productive, but needs capital. They select the P2P lending function on the Humaniq app and negotiate a small loan with another user.
Usage Case 2- Insurance
A craftsman wants to send hand-carved figurines to an international buyer, but the nearest international shipment center is hundreds of miles away. The seller finds an insurance provider through the app and insures their items so that they are compensated in the event of damage or loss during transport.
Usage Case 3- Remittance Payments
A worker overseas wants to send money back to their family, but neither of the parties have bank accounts. Rather than pay an excessive fee to go through a transfer agent, the worker converts his currency into bitcoin and sends it to his family member, who uses a mobile cashier service to convert bitcoin to the local currency.
Usage Case 4- Remote Work
A company has easy online tasks that are difficult to automate, yet not cost-effective to hire locals for. A Humaniq user selects tasks that they can do, and makes a small amount of bitcoin, HMQ, or ether for their work. Tasks can include things like rating products, providing reviews, or moderating videos. WE VALUE THE COMMUNITY'S FEEDBACK We are looking for honest, reliable feedback and welcome your suggestions.

A draft version of our white paper can be accessed here: Humaniq Whitepaper
Please note that this is not the final version and that additional improvements/solutions will be included following discussions with potential users and investors.
You are also welcome to join the discussion on our SlackA FAIR PRE-ICO TO ACCELERATE THE PROJECT
In December, with little fanfare and a small team, Humaniq more than achieved our pre-ICO funding goals. The enthusiastic response of our supporters has allowed us to expand our team and begin working on our roadmap. We recently passed a significant milestone by releasing the early alpha version of our app for testing on both iOS and Android.
Total token supply during pre-ICO: 27 914 393
BTC collected: 99.002855
ETH collected: 3122.362977 APRIL ICO Humaniq’s ICO will start on April 6th and last until April 26th
April 2017→ Buy the smart-contract →Get 1000 Humaniq Tokens for 1 ETH The ICO will feature a time-sensitive bonus system. People who invest within the first 24 hours will receive a 49.9% bonus on their tokens, while those who invest within the first week will receive a 33% bonus. The second week will give out a 20% bonus, the third week it drops to 14%, and then falls to 7% during the fourth week.

HUMANIQ: A BRAND NEW BANKING SYSTEM FOR THE 1 BILLION PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO BASIC FINANCIAL SERVICES
Dear Bitcointalk,
It is my great pleasure to introduce you to our revolutionary crypto-project. Over the past year, our team has been meeting UN representatives and doing extensive research on financially depressed and unbanked territories.
Our findings indicate that there is a massive and yet untapped marketplace of over 1 billion potential customers, with negligible competitors within the space. Armed with this knowledge, we have been,tirelessly, working on how blockchain principles, DAPPs and ICO mechanics could be combined to create a new type of cloud-based, global banking system.
Let's be very clear!! We are not talking about some generic mobile app for some traditional bank. Rather, we are looking to implement a whole new and independent ecosystem for the unbanked.
MERGING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, SMART PHONES AND BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION FOR THE WORLD'S FAIREST BANK
During the course of our analysis, we came across numerous hurdles that needed to be overcome. They included:How to create a fair and equitable system for all of the users?
What if not all the users have access to FIAT currency or a computer for mining purposes?
What if a lot of users do not have access to proper ID documentation? We, therefore, propose to implement our project on a distributed ownership and open blockchain platform, all of which, will be accessible via a smartphone.Furthermore, we are also considering the use of bio-metric identification to eliminate any potential issues that are associated with the use of signatures or passports as a means of proving one's identity.
After discussing this idea with many blockchain and fintech experts, and, following their very positive feedback, we are now proud to present to you: Humaniq, a new financial ecosystem whose focus is on connecting the unbanked and underbanked, worldwide.WE VALUE THE COMMUNITY'S FEEDBACK We are looking for honest, reliable feedback and welcome your suggestions.
Our main website can be found here: Humaniq
A draft version of our white paper can be accessed here: Humaniq Whitepaper
Please note that this is not the final version and that additional improvements/solutions will be included following discussions with potential users and investors.
You are also welcome to join the discussion on our SlackA FAIR PRE-CROWDSALE TO ACCELERATE THE PROJECT
We have decided to organise a pre-ICO to give an opportunity to our initial supporters to acquire a foothold within our project whilst, simultaneously, allowing us to gauge the interest in our concept.
We are determined to coalesce Humaniq into a reality and by having an initial monetary contribution, we feel that it will help the community at large to take it more seriously.
We also feel that it provide a massive incentive to boost the platform's creation. The first tokens will be sold at a substantial discount to those early adopters. If the amount collected is less than the intended 10,000 ETH, full refunds will be issued.PRE- INITIAL COIN OFFERING The Pre- ICO will run from the 15th of December 2016 to the 27th of December 2016 via an Ethereum Smart Contract.
Feb. 2017 — Mar. 2017→ Buy the smart-contract →Get 1000 Humaniq Tokens for 1 ETH The exchange rate for this Pre- Ico will be of the order of 1500 Humaniq Tokens per 1 ETH. There will also be additional discounted tokens in the form of " happy hours": The first 12 hours: +70 % After 24 hours:+ 50 % The next 3 days: + 33 % The next 3 days: +20 % The next 3 days: +7 % The last 3 days: 0 %[/size]
MAIN ICO
The main ICO is projected to happen according to the following model:
Feb. 2017 — Mar. 2017→ Buy the smart-contract →Get 1000 Humaniq Tokens for 1 ETH We are still working on the finer details and further information will be made available as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we kindly suggest that you acquaint yourself with the proposed mathematical emission model of the Humaniq tokens by referring to the Humaniq Whitepaper.MY PERSONAL BLOCKCHAIN STORY

After meeting UN-representatives and having a conversation on depressed and unbanked territories, we came to a clear understanding of certain opportunities that could be acted on by connecting millions of new members to the global economy. Is this true? now we have representatives of United Nations going for crypto currency,can you give us the name of those UN representatives and the link to their offices,you don't drop an office without further confirmations of course |

Load of crap. Humanoid is the ruler of the party, that's why his announcement is twice as more appealing than alien's OP. I don't like human beings. I'm a sociopath.

Humaniq, lol another crap with nothing new. I seriously doubt the IQ of the dev, but you'll never know as there are some investors with lower IQs. ICO without real names and pictures? It is a joke and does not make any sense to me. Maybe another high schooler project, lmao.
