Good question. We are currently considering it heavily, but if there is a pre-sale, the bonus won't be huge. We don't want some people to feel like they missed out. We might even make it a private pre-sale and have no bonus at all, as our pre-ICO funding needs aren't excessive.

Some quick facts about the ESL Coin ICO and initial coin distriution

[akamy789]

Why is the community not lively at all? The team is also updating the schedule. Some quality activities should be held

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

I think mostly people don't have the patience to wait until November-December. A lot of forum activity is generated by bounty hunters and speculators, and they're currently focused on other projects that have the potential to yield immediate results. Once we're closer to the ICO and the bounty program has been established, you can expect a resurgence in community activity.

Really looking forward to this guys great idea!!!

We've decided to have a pre-sale of ESL tokens at a 10% discount starting now. Since our pre-ICO funding needs are not excessive, you will not see it advertised heavily, and we may choose to limit the amount individuals can buy and/or the pre-sale total. We just wanted to make sure you all had an equal chance to participate if you were so inclined, in which case please send a PM so we can arrange it.

Our next update will show off some research about the ESL industry--following that, the launch of eslcoin.org. Stay tuned!

Although it's true that education is a good cause which helps motivate the ESL Coin team, this is a real investment opportunity, as well. Here you can see just how many potential users and advertisers the Try English app has, and the true size of the industry our cryptocurrency will tap into. Imagine they all used ESL Coin!

ESL Coin will be exhibiting at the Advanced Digital Innovation Summit, September 12-13 in Vancouver. Should be fun with heavy-hitting speakers like Andreas Antonopoulis. Come find our booth if you're attending!

In case anybody was wondering how we plan to tackle the regulatory hurdles of ICOs, we actually lucked out by being based in Canada. The authorities recently greenlit an ICO that was straight-up a security, and didn't have the feel-good pro-education mentality ours does. We could always base our company in a start-up company somewhere, of course, like many others have, but it's better if we don't have to.

After a lot of research, concept development and professional design, the ESL Coin website is finally live! Please share as we get closer to the ICO to spread the word about this groundbreaking combination of ESL education and blockchain technology.

ESL Coin's latest ad, designed to convert ESL teachers and entrepreneurs to decentralized economics.

Hi everyone! Just added ESL Coin ICO to my website https://concourseq.io/Q/Esl_Coin! Anyone with an account can submit contributions to your page, so we want to get this community involved.

We had a great time sponsoring the Teachers of English as a Second Language Ontario conference in Toronto! Our booth was very popular, our CEO got a round of applause for his brief talk, and our logo was up all over the place. We also made flyers especially to educate attendees about Bitcoin and blockchain technology in general.

We also set up an Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/eslcoin/) and made further updates to our website. Unfortunately, Bittrex is no longer doing ICOs--they stopped around when they started verifying everybody, which probably means the regulators forced them to. We've therefore decided to postpone our ICO until January 15, giving us time to figure things out and talk to some regulators, ourselves. Our partners in the ESL industry demand things more above-board than crypto entrepreneurs do.

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

Sorry to keep everybody in the dark. We've actually been super busy the whole time, so we're gonna give a lot of updates all at once. First of all, we've been to a couple of conferences and lots of Meetups. We had booths at the VanFUNDING conference in Vancouver and the Crypto Economy conference in San Francisco, and the founder spoke at both. Everything was well-received... one of the videos is on YouTube already thanks to our partners at NewsBTC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ2C5x9gNCo

After talking to the British Columbia Securities Commission--some of whom saw us at VanFUNDING--as well as some top-notch Canadian lawyers, we're revamping the ESL Coin Foundation into a Cooperative and scrapping burning from our concept. This makes us more certain to get the regulatory greenlight, but unfortunately delays our ICO significantly to April 23 (UN English Language Day).

In the mean-time, we've been expanding upon our concept a bit. In addition to content registration & distribution, chatting and a marketplace, the ESL Coin DAO will include DApps responsible for services such as academic record transmission, translations and accent reduction. We're also refining our token economic model to the greatest detail so we can finalize terms with partners such as iComply, DECENT and Mooti. We hope to polish our whitepaper in time for the ICO.

Sorry we haven't had time to finalize the terms of our bounty campaign, yet. In the meantime, please join the conversation on Slack and Telegram; Slack is more active, for now, as that's where our team communicates. We hope to have our Telegram full of shills in due time.

I see you have set ICO on April 23, whether this is certain or there will be a delay.
And why do not you open the Bounty Program sooner? would not this help you more to introduce this project to the community.

I hope to get the news update about your project in telegram soon

We're hoping the April 23 date is certain now. We need to speak to the BC regulators again soon to make sure we are cleared in time.

The bounty program we wanted to open sooner, but have been too busy focusing on the main tasks to get underway. Maybe we should just find a competent campaign manager who accepts a piece of the token supply as payment. We have an outline, but orchestrating and maintaining it will require a lot of work.

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

We're getting ready to spread the word about ESL Coin at two upcoming conferences, one for the ESL industry and one (CoinFest) for the cryptocurrency industry. As part of that, we refocused efforts on completing diagrams for postcards and brochures for our booths. Check out this one below!
