This token definitely doesn't give you any shares or votes (unless granted further). You are aware that you will have responsibility for securing your tokens (private keys, seeds etc.)

If you agree with ALL these conditions, you're permitted to proceed and acquire some CIO Token(s) at Waves platform.

1. support the cause of the project to bring health and transparency to crypto ecosystem in general
2. token will be fuel to certain premium services
3. token will be needed as payment premium project sponsorship (however only projects passing the audit can receive it)
4. token will be fuel for special platform tasks (audits, investigations)
5. token (resp. funds gathered by it) will help to enhance/boost platform development and reward community for contributions
6. it will help us to sponsor/support other services/efforts helping crypto ecosystem
7. speculative gain, expected appreciation when platform is successful, recognized & adopted

Project tokens?
There is just one "CIO Token" ITO related to this project (although in three price and volume phases). No more tokens for core platform operation will be ever issued, all CIO tokens will be until 2018 (included) on free market, no further inflation caused, no more surprises like many other projects do related to their funding. Project will be self-funded by this ITO without any future surprises and funding rounds. This is your chance to get it or regret later.

How to invest in CIO?
Waves platform (https://wavesplatform.com/) was chosen for rational reasons because as it provides needed features "out of box" and it's user friendly enough for needs of this ITO.

Simple steps to get CIO Tokens
* Get WavesLiteApp (https://[Suspicious link removed]/dejRDo)
* Open Waves Lite Client
* Click on third Big icon "Waves Decentralized Exchange"
* Set the pairs to WAVES and 1Z4y4zydhNgTbgWsz63DnsdkuAJiJXeTSsL5JdmKUwv (which is CIO Token ID)
* You will see pair CIO Token/WAVES is set and order book is available (https://i.snag.gy/PXMYwg.jpg)
* Now you can buy CIO tokens as any other Waves token like you're used on any other crypto exchange

How to invest without Waves with other cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, XEM, ...)?
Waves platform supports several other crypto currencies or you can use ShapeShift (https://www.shapeshift.io) or any reliable exchange to convert to Waves first.

Aside general discussion related to the project, there will be monthly development updates provided starting Dec 2017.

General notes (especially related to further discussion)
1. There is a quite clear vision behind this project that should be achieved and if it doesn't satisfy your expectations it is not necessarily the issue but rather question of your preferences
2. As there is no warranty and this project is not meant to meet every single expectation of each single individual but rather  to fulfill several basic and more broader goals.
3. If you don't agree with purpose of this project, please avoid FUD and criticism and try to rather do something more constructive that make sense to you. Thank you.

How many people do you work with?
What kinds of systems and positions are there?

[cahkalem]

1st wave (special ITO price) 7,000,000 (1 CIO = 0.007 Waves) (Nov 2017 ~1 week duration)
and now is the last week of november ? is the 1st wave of ITO already run ?

[ciobt]

How many people do you work with?

I'm a founder and major developer of the project. Additional developers will be assigned based on the outcome of this ITO or as result of my decision. I'm prepared for all possibilities, what will be different is only manpower behind the project, speed and extent of the development and features. Regardless if there is a single or hundreds of devs, work will be done (just extent will be different). When major CIO platform is out, it will be opensourced at github and every member of community (with basic programming skills) will be able to easily participate in some way. But this will not happen before platform has strong core and proper extensible model. Until then it will be close-sourced.

What kinds of systems and positions are there?

Traditional js web technologies will be used for the core of the platform (node, react, redux, ...). There are no (paid) positions opened yet, this will be re-evaluated after end of ITO. Community volunteers can/will be able to participate based on own skills and project needs (feel free to list your skills). In general platform is meant to be very open and extensible but until that time development will be quite strictly driven and under the hood. I hope this answers your questions.

Yes, ITO already started at the same time as this announcement was published and is ongoing. This 1st special ITO wave offer ends by the end of Nov or when sold out.

Last 5 days to acquire CIO tokens for the best possible ITO price!

are there any official social media about this project, i think it's needed to make all people know about every updatted information

Nope, except this BT thread as a primary channel there is no social media about this project so far as I prefer organic grow and adoption rather than over-hype. All important information are/will be (so far) here (except site http://cio.care that holds brief sub-set of information). Other reason is to keep information and communication on one place (at least for this time). And to my experience BT is best place for announcing ITO and people are used to find information here. Later on I expect community or special media person will take care of social media to make some additional promo of the platform but for that it's too early. ITO will run quite long (about 4 months) so investors can join in any phase they wish. Of course significantly better price is available now and also during December as reward for the risk early adopters are taking. Next year will be less risky for investors as everything will be more clear and visible and so there will be no special ITO discounts like this year and full regular ITO price. All major updates will be provided here like monthly dev updates and instant messages for everything else that cannot delay.

there are only a few pictures on this website, no social media to access to information, how to attract investors?

As stated before at this phase social media is not a priority but of course everyone can share the word. Or if someone from community wants to take care of social media, let me know. For now, however, no special attraction is needed, basic information can be seen here (or asked if needed). This project will be propagated the best by itself by "PoW" as time goes. The basic information is here and everyone can invest now. If not, it's also all right, other people can invest later (when project is more mature and therefore with less risk but of course with more costly entry) or just never for any reasons. I believe the platform will be that good that it will make holding of "CIO Token"  highly profitable in time and now it is the best opportunity to join to participate on future growth. Those who ignore it now might still step in later but those who ignore it completely might regret later -  but that's life and individual decisions. I personally missed so many amazing early investments so I know what I'm talking about. My advice is if you're not willing to invest in this wave now, check it later this year, or next year or year after that and invest when you feel comfortable.

Finally a logo I'm satisfied with. This will be the official project logo for the future. Check the http://cio.care (cache reaload might be needed)
