Tezos discussion

[c4s7or]

Is there any way to get these coins now? anywehre?

No. Still no date for upcoming crowdsale

[Biodom]

a few suggestions re crowdsale;

1. don't try to get the highest price per coin/token from the get go, don't be like GNO. People like to contribute to a token that appreciates later on.

2. don't try to limit token numbers to some ridiculously low number and have them all sold out in 10 min. This is NOT cool.

3. have limits on one entity participation. VCs will try to load with gobs of tokens and undermine the democratic element of the crowdsale. If, say, five entities would control 95%, the voting process would be largely irrelevant for the majority of individual holders. Maybe think about an upper limit on purchase/contribution within some reason, say, less than $100K.

4. reveal crowdsale conditions WAY ahead (two weeks minimum) so people can prepare.

5. have total number of tokens between 10-100 mil. These seem to be the numbers that work well (btc, eth, zec[eventually])

Great suggestions Biodom, I agree 100%!

@arthurb - Please take notice of these suggestions, especially token pricing. Your competitor Boscoin set their ICO coin price too high and people are constantly complaining about it.

Here's a great chance to get an edge up on Boscoin by making your distribution, coin total and ICO pricing much more favorable for investors

will follow this project.

[provenceday]

one interesting project.

Tezos should combine with machine learning and AI.

[dragonares]

It looks like awesome project. Smarter smart contract attracts me, I hope there will be more powerful platforms can be better than Ethereum, let small investors get rich.

[jvper]

I am interested too. Both investment and bounties (promotion).

Their crowdsale has no cap so it's definitely not going to sell out.  But obviously the question is whether there'll be more tezos than people expected, so it might give the sort of appreciation in value people are hoping for, especially if a lot of bigger whales purchase huge amounts.

Tezos Receives Funding for Smart Contact System from Polychain Capital's Digital Currency Fund

Tezos, a network protocol specializing in secure, future-proof smart contract systems, has been given a share of Polychain Capital’s $10 million digital currency fund. The fund, whose limited partners include Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures, was first announced in December of 2016, and has also backed MakerDAO and Golem.
Founded by Arthur Breitman and Kathleen Breitman, Tezos is an independent smart contract platform built as an alternative to Ethereum. It focuses on transparency, security and governance by consensus as fundamental design goals. As such, all code is independently verifiable and includes integrated mechanisms for users to transparently decide on and implement upgrades to the Tezos system itself. When protocol changes need to be made, Tezos implements voting rights with its built-in consensus mechanism. This enables upgrades to be seamlessly integrated into the protocol with complete transparency.

Thank you very much. The highly anticipated beautiful and impressive project.
Translations and bounty of campaigns should be determined. investors waiting to it.

Nice, keeping my eye on this!

No CAP... that seems a little greedy... there must be a cap so that investors can anticipate when they can make a return on their investment. Else this coin will list cheaper than the ICO price.

Also to make it fair there should be an allocation system used per buyer. So you can put 10 BTC but depending on the demand you might not get the full BTC allocated. When the ICO closes you'll be informed what you were allocated and the BTC  that was not allocated is returned to you. This ensures that even when you have a CAP, whales cannot out buy anyone else. What you end up with is a fair distribution that is inclusive of everyone interested and you don't have manipulation of the market when you list at an exchange.

I hope corowdsale will be longer than 5 minutes, It is becoming impossible to invest with some ICOs...

Just create a thread and write a bit of description, then go? Who are the people in this team?

I don't see any official announcement re their crowdsale; whatever is discussed in private (maybe on slack) is NOT official.

just look at the official site.

Their slack is not private, anybody can join and the main founders have repeatedly stated that there is no cap both in the slack and also elsewhere.
See this post of theirs on their tumblr: https://tezos.tumblr.com/post/159211476218/why-tezos-crowdsale-no-cap
FYI their slackbot is set up to automatically point you to this if you ask about the cap in slack.

It's not going to get much more official than that until the crowdsale actually launches.

They're not capping the quantities so it'll just run for the set time so unless you're really lazy you should be able to get in.

[paladium]

Very good project. I'm saving btc for ico.
