The DDF Token is a Ethereum ERC20 token; so the smart contract is based on Ethereum and accepts as such only Ether as input.

Investors who want to invest in different crypto currencies please contact us.

Will be looking forward to the Webinar. Registered and shared the details in my group.
The ICO Fact sheet is interesting on the website. Downloaded some advertising banners, will publish them soon.

project itself is quite good , but i think it deserve more recognition it only has 57 comments , hopefully it will gain great success and i already wearing signature so i will do my best to promote this kind of project , good luck devs and by the way bounty prize pool was insane tho

I'm pretty sure it will get traction along the way. I'm still reading more about this project but my initial reaction was this will be huge one. There is already a schedule webinars and I'm sure once concluded, a lot of investors are going to put money in it.

Digital Assets

Domain names and crypto currencies have high barriers to entry and risks due to lack of regulations, technical hurdles and lack of investment instruments.

Can you please elaborate more on this?

I've been in the website flippening before and I don't see any barriers along the way. I just buy a attracted domain names and sell for more. But I'm not sure that barriers they are facing. Thanks.

Let us say you have raised $30m in the ICO. How much are you allocating in domain names alone, and how much do you think will DDF make on average in a year by year basis?

You also said you will be investing in ENS. I assume that is the Ethereum Name Service?

That is a great question.

It looks on the first glance that domain name investing has one of the lowest barriers of all investments. Hey, a .com is $10 or less!

There are hundreds of thousands, probably millions of people, who tried their luck. A forum like NamePros alone has nearly 1 million members.

But for most people buying a domain for resale is like buying a lottery ticket. The truth is that a very small minority do this professionally. There are probably less than 500 full-time professional domain investors worldwide.

Most people are not very good in recognizing what makes a great domain. They fall in love with a word and think that is the greatest name on earth and must be worth millions. But as the years go by, no-one agrees, and they continue to sit on their name.

It takes analytical skills, experience and tools to identify good names at scale. Even in a good portfolio, sell-through rates are below 5% yearly. Therefore it also takes significant funds if you want to make a business out of domain investing.

This is with .com. Things gets even more complicated if you start looking at ccTLDs or new gTLDs. They have different legal and technical requirements, different price, different languages, etc.

So tldr, low barriers to entry, high barriers to success!

WHERE CAN I BUY DDF TOKENS?
During the ICO, you can participate in buying DDF tokens by sending ETH to the address listed on this website https://www.digitaldevelopersfund.com/ddf-ico-details/ shortly before commencement of the ICO. After the ICO, you will be able to buy DDF tokens on any participating exchange.

It seems this IcO is a good project and getting good attaction to the people here. And the fund is amazing, it has big funds to share.
Just like above stated just clarify the bounty to avoid so much problem with the participants.

Nova days there are so many ICOs, that DDF project should prove that it really worth something, but without participants it's just impossible. I hope our work will attract many interested people and the project will pump in nearest time.

The planned asset allocation is 45% Crypto Currencies, 27.5% Domain Names, 7.5% Mining Operations, 5% Other Digital Assets, 15% Reserve Fund. Domain investing has a similar time/return curve as equity investing; first returns are lower as you invest, then you sell off parts of the portfolio with time. As we have accumulated a broad portfolio in domains, we expect strong sales going forward.

Yes, we will also invest in Ethereum Name Service and other crypto related name services as they come up.

Two Singaporeans here. Are they linked to the location of the developers there or this is just coincidence? Not so important but good to know. Sometimes it would be good to know there are real people behind the project.

It's a bit of a coincidence. We are in touch with Rune because of listing DDF on their exchange COSS (announcement coming soon) and with George from ZrCoin.

Our smart contract developer Dave Appleton is also based in Asia.

Please join the Webinar this Thursday and you will also hear and see the funds' director

This makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Although, I have been in domain flippening/buying before (I just sold a couple), I totally give up because of other reasons. Yes, I totally agree that it is very hard to be successful and its not easy as its sound. Specially the .com domains. Hah, I even know someone who just buy everything with a .com but didn't even make a good profit from it.They think that getting a .com will be lucrative but its not.

I wanted to get some clarification. I am already participating in your bounty facebook campaign, I would also like to participate in the forum campaign: can you open a thread in the local Bitcointalk Italian "Announcements" section with a short review of your project and updates in my language?

Unfortunately we don't have an Italian translation yet, but PM your question in Italian and I will (try to) answer.
