Publica's ICO just closed a few minutes ago!!! -- Successful Hard Cap! -- -- Thanks to straight-ahead grassroots community support. Great community!

[majestymage]

they have reached the hard cap? this means that it was a very successful ico. how much was raised?

[JosefMarc]

Our ICO raised $1M nominal. 25% came from early supporters who knew about the project. A couple weeks went by while people talked about it. Then, on Wednesday, the remaining 75% sold out in just over two hours. The supporters are the best, and you can talk to them and learn all about it on our Telegram channel https://t.me/publicaofficial

Is the ICO completed ? how much fund raised ?

[napi]

when distribute and listing market ?

[JosefMarc]

Our community channel is discussing your question about listings with our COO Antons Sapriko, see Telegram channel https://t.me/publicaofficial.
He published an ICO report on our Medium blog https://medium.com/publicaio
I'll be blogging there about our progress in the publishing community. Antons is in charge of the day-to-day communications with our Telegram community.
I'll keep an eye out here on bitcointalk, of course. But frankly, I'm only a CEO and bitcointalk newbie so I might not be the person you want some of the time, so there's always info@publica.io to answer your questions.

To the bitcointalk community -- How can I help you now that the ICO is closed?

checked the wp, promising

[JosefMarc]

"promising..." I think that means we made a big promise to our supporters. Fortunately for us, we can and will deliver. Smart contracts already on github, authors already onboard, investors asking how to invest more. It's on us now.

I saw some projects, that looks like yours. What is your main differences, not just attention on artists and e-books?

[JosefMarc]

You're right, there are many projects looking at books and art. SingularDTV is a good example of art funding, Kickico is a good example of kickstarting art, po.et does intellectual property registration, Authorship does translations, and ETHbooks does ebooks about crypto. So we have many fellow travelers.
Publica tackles the heart of what happened when digital books were invented -- the digital rights management sytems (DRM) and the End User License Agreement (EULA). Those were devised by iTunes and Kindle specifically to deal with a thorny problem -- copyright law. It's so easy to copy digital books. So they borrowed a page from Microsoft DRM and video games developers, namely, the EULA. That's an agreement between the "buyer" and seller, and if you read one, it says that no "buy" has taken place. Only a private agreement, and therefore not subject to copyright law. This worked well in the beginning.
But people think "buy" means I own it. I should be able to give a great book to my friend. Buy my child's university books for them. Gift 100 books to a deserving school in Tanzania (I lived there once.) Lend a digital book to a friend and they can give it back to me when they're done. Send a digital book to my friend in Lima who doesn't have a credit card and can't get an Amazon account. Sell my own books for USA prices in USA and Java prices in Java. None of those are possible with DRM and EULA's, unfortunately.
So we fixed it.
Buy a READ token to a book, and it goes in your wallet. Nobody can dispute that you own it.
The money you paid for that book goes right into the author's wallet, now. No dispute about royalties, overseas "charges," whatever. Author Paid Now.
Sell the book you bought, when you want. Crypto. Buy 1,000 copies of its READ token and open a bookstore where you know there's a market for it.

You get the idea. It's the blockchain evolution.
