Hello!The month long ICO for DigiPulse has come to an end! Our idea has raised 1924 ETH from 687 contributors and we are thankful for the huge support!
Unfortunately, we have not been able to reach our minimum goal of 8’000 ETH. As stated in the smart contract,
all of the contributions are refundable (instructions here:
http://www.digipulse.io/refund.pdf)!
What happens next?Despite missing the initial cap, a lot of community members still would like to see our idea be brought to life (and we don’t feel like giving up), so that is why
DigiPulse is announcing a token sale re-launch that is going to take place from
October 1st until October 31st, with an all improved
DigiPulse Project 2.0!What has changed (why is it better)?During the past couple of months, we have received a lot of valuable feedback from the community on various aspects of our idea (the team, token mechanism, service setup, marketing channel usage, exchange related issues, bounty structure, smart contract conditions, etc.) and we have taken all of those into account.
Our first ICO attempt was launched with nothing but an idea and a 2’500$ marketing budget. We have gained invaluable experience on how to run a crowdfunding campaign (the “do’s and don’ts”), have made additions to our team and have upgraded (if not re-hauled completely) our service!
The improvements for the DigiPulse Project 2.0 are the following:- Investor supported ICO launch - in order for us to gain a bigger exposure (and in turn grant more value to the contributors), DigiPulse has acquired capital for an improved marketing campaign;
- Same idea, better concept - we have changed the way DigiPulse works at its core by removing mineable coins and only leaving a token, that now offers profit sharing. But we will also involve the community by offering them the chance to become storage providers;
- Bigger team - we have made additions to our team in the form of a legal advisor and a security audit specialist, who have already helped to shape the new concept;
- A prototype to show - we have addressed the “decentralization” and security issues by creating our own blockchain. The alpha solution we are currently working on will be made available to the public for testing till the end of September;
- Addressing the community - the first attempt helped us to better understand the power of the spoken word. We now have an improved plan in place that covers multiple communication channels, starting from Twitter and ending with Youtube (and everything in between);
- Momentum - last, but not least, the first ICO helped to put DigiPulse on the map! We are going to use this recently gained reputation to propel our idea to a much bigger audience, thus making digital asset inheritance a reality!
All of the improvements stated above can be read in more detail in our new Whitepaper v 2.0! (available here
https://www.digipulse.io/whitepaper.pdf)
But, my bounties…The bounties won’t be leaving DigiPulse for the v 2.0! If you have been a part of our first ICO’s bounty campaign, do not worry. We have an offer that will be fair to both parties.
You will be
able to transfer your existing stakes from v 1.0 to v 2.0,
if you continue to participate in DigiPulse Project 2.0! The old stakes will have a separate bounty pool of 1% allocated specifically to them from the new project (see Whitepaper).
E.g. If you were a Twitter contributor and had 172’660 stakes,
all of these will be automatically transferred to the v 2.0, once you sign into the platform (on the 1st of October) and will grant you the pro-rata share of the 1% allocated pool. Every new Tweet in the v 2.0
will reset the stake count and grant stake admission for the
2% bounty share for v 2.0 bounty pool!All of the bounties will be transferred automatically, once you sign into the platform (translation bounties will be transferred manually).
The bounty campaign officially
closes on the 31st of August and will be
re-opened on the 23rd of September. We will use this time transfer the stakes, set up the new tracking mechanism and improve our webpage! In this downtime, bounties will
not be tracked!So, what now?If you had contributed, please refund your contribution here: (instructions here:
http://www.digipulse.io/refund.pdf)!
We are not able to do it for you (sorry for the inconvenience)!
In the meantime, give our new Whitepaper a read! The DigiPulse team is working hard and we are available on Slack almost 24/7! We would love to hear your feedback!
If you do choose to support us in the future, then mark the
1st of October as the launch date for our token sale!
See you soon and as always, visit
www.digipulse.io for the newest updates!
Are you going to have a pre-sale?Yes, but it is a closed investor round with a limited cap for the contributions (minimum investment amount is 10 ETH with a 100% bonus). If you are interested - drop us a line (
hello@digipulse.io) and we will send you further instructions.
