The Essentia Team is excited to announce that there have started the KYC/AML procedure. This step is crucial if you want to contribute in the upcoming crowdsale. The procedure is simple and doesn’t take a lot of time, and will be your ticket to the Web 3.0 revolution!

To make sure that everything goes smoothly, we have prepared a concise guide on how to complete your KYC/AML verification.

The team opens the procedure KYC for those people who are on the white list? Or can any investor take part in the token sale?

Yes only for those who were whitelisted but it's now closed.

You heard the news… the web giants are sinking into their own mess after it was revealed the extent to which they spy, steal and sell personal data for monetary gain. Thankfully, a group of young visionaries predicted this outcome years ago and built a lifeboat to save our digital lives, and it’s called Essentia.

It was created to bridge the divide between centralized and decentralized resources so anyone can power their data with the security, privacy and ownership blockchain provides. Now it’s in demand by international industries and governmental institutions alike. Here’s how three blockchain enthusiasts built the vehicle to transport the digital world to the next web. And why you need to know about it now!

$20M+ raised and $150M in commitment.

What this means "150 mln in commitment"? They have ~25 mln hard cap as far I know. They extented hardcap or this funds will be refunded to investors?

Token sale is very successful. I think that in 2-3 days all tokens will be sold.
Current funds raised $ 22.636.684 (89%)

I am unsure what you are referring to but there is no increase to the Hardcap

The team are the address the issue but we likely recommend you do not do so. Tokens cannot be distributed to addresses that are not KYC'd so there is a risk involved.

when will team distribute bounties, after ico? any exact date?

Hi, you can check on Etherscan, enter your wallet address: https://etherscan.io, use the search at the top-right 😃
Etherscan allows you to explore and search the Ethereum blockchain for transactions, addresses, tokens, prices and other activities taking place on Ethereum (ETH)

[Branko]

when will team distribute bounties, after ico? any exact date?

Up to 30 days after token sale finishes, so thats anywhere between today and 60 days from now

Token sale is very slow. Yesterday, $ 2 million was collected, but today people are very slow to buy tokens. When completes selling tokens?

The sale will end when the hard cap of $25.5m is reached, but will not exceed one month.

I presume they summed up commitments from 107k people that got whitelisted...of course, thats the best case scenario
where everyone would buy his maximum

I'm really interested in what Essentia will be implementing machines with total rewards in the unit,
 which corresponds to 15% of the total supply of tokens!

[Vinylriff]

I have sent a message in telegram, waiting for your answer!
A rather interesting logo, excellence design, percipient design.

I hope your answer was answered, if not feel free to share it here and we can answer

Dear Community:

We wanted to share today with you all the latest developments of the Essentia public engagement. It has definitely been a busy 24 hours - with over 10,000 transactions from 1000 contributors in the first hour alone. In that massive inflow of contributions, we noticed that there were a significant proportion of transactions that failed. We immediately looked into the root cause of the high failure rate and discovered a small bug on line 193 of the smart contract that didn’t allow for most of the transactions to pass, resulting in, an initially high rate of failed transactions wherein the ETH was returned to the contributor.

Yesterday, we stood in solidarity with our community and stated our commitment to run an airdrop for contributors who had more than 10 failed transactions. Today, we want to take it one step further and add weight to our words. We will run an airdrop of ESS to all whitelisted addresses that will contribute to the Essentia crowdsale.

We’ve now come out with a new smart contract, currently deployed inside the member area, where now you can contribute normally - without having the limitation of sending less than half your balance each time. Please visit https://profile.essentia.one to get started!

Last but not least, we will temporarily re-open registration and KYC via https://profile.essentia.one.

We are absolutely humbled by our community's vote of confidence and their valued contributions during the TGE, in spite of the bug in the smart contract. Thank you all once again for your continued support and we can't wait to bring our technological revolution to the world, together.

The team needs to collect another 2 million dollars to reach the hard cap. I hope that during this week the token sale will be completed.
