[ANN][TOKEN] City of EDEN (EDN Token)

[barney_stinson]

The EDN token is a utility token, right? Are there any restrictions on U.S. investors that you know of?

Can anyone answer this?

This is a utility token. We are still reviewing any limitations on it.

This project is really good and I see that it will be successful!                               

Thank you!

What all can you do with EDEN tokens? Can you put up bounties for certain contributions? Like, are bigger contributions more valuable?

You can read more about the utility here: https://github.com/cityofeden/EDEN-smart-contracts

The TL;DR version is that you earn more tokens with more contributions. Different bounties and challenges yield different EDN rewards and different levels and badges amplify your earning potential.

So earning EDN tokens and gaining access to abilities like publishing your own bounties within your own projects with your own assembled team are both project specific and individual specific.

The concept is to remove the barrier completely for a potential solution to emerge.

That's pretty neat. I like the idea of people being able to publish their own bounties, etc. I'll take a look at the link provided as well. Thanks for your reply.

Is there an early version of this project already out or is it still being developed?

The EDN (EDEN Distributed Network) platform is being built the other products have been built already.

That's impressive. To pre-order the available products, it looks like I just have to buy enough EDN tokens. Is the token sale happening right now?

Exactly   We aren't doing a pre-sale at all. What we've realized running a few token sales already is that the big bonuses are reserved for a private pre-sale that blocks everyone else out. So we are doing something similar but making it an open process. We are running a 4 month long public token sale where depending how much you purchase and when you purchase it you will get access to bonuses.

Thanks. When does the public token sale start?

In May. Let us know if you have any other questions.

This project looks very different and that's a good thing. How did you guys come up with such a unique project?

Thanks.... It's been a dream of mine for many years but it wasn't until I started taking applied physics classes with Carlos our Director of New Projects that we decided to do it about a year ago.

The 3 hardware projects started at the same time.

I've never heard of anything like EDEN before. This is like a dream come true. I've always hoped there would be a full city of scientists and engineers solving some of the worlds toughest problems. This could be one of the biggest world changing events in history if it gains traction. Of course, it is in the early stages now but I could see it happening in the distant future. What is the blockchain doing for this project that you couldn't do without it?

Thanks for the kind words!

We made a little video about our blockchain use... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEs6mrwdIqY&t

Most importantly every single product we build incorporates blockchain. That's outside of what we are doing on the EDEN Distributed Network.

Thanks! I'm excited for it. I appreciate such a helpful and responsive team. This project is going to go far, I just know it.

Wow what an interesting project. So much more flavor than I've seen out of anyone else.

Can I ask where the current team is residing until the promised land comes?

Hahahah thanks!

We are residing in a rented farm house with a satellite internet rig.

It's a smaller scale version of our full plans but we have already purchased the land and are awaiting to build infrastructure.

Sounds just like what I've always wanted. A few acres in the middle of nowhere and damn good internet.

What country have you bought land in? Hopefully one that is known for it's Laissez-faire approach to regulation.

It's really great. We purchased the land in Colombia one our outside of Bogota. Here's a video we made of why - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b6K2gfpyw8s

We are a US based company with subsidiaries in Colombia, Israel and Ukraine.

Thanks for the link to the video. I think Columbia was an awesome choice, especially after the video explanation. Fiber is going to really help. This project is just so cool.

What will happen if someone working at the City of EDEN got fired? Or if he retired? Can he still live in the City of EDEN? And how does he get paid for his work?

What will happen if someone working at the City of EDEN got fired? Or if he retired? Can he still live in the City of EDEN? And how does he get paid for his work?

The City of EDEN and all of our products and services are traditional revenue model based companies that are for profit with the one change that we focus on top level life changing solutions that work towards solving the world's problems.

Employees that are also residents get free housing, food and competitive salaries. Just like with a traditional corporation if someone is being laid off they will have a period to make arrangements.

If they are being fired as in they did something illegal, dangerous or harmful to the company then they would be asked to leave relatively quickly.

That being said it's the reason why we have invested so many resources into the EDEN Distributed Network. It is our method of recruiting the best talent. Before ever being invited to live in the City of EDEN we invite people to come on temporary stays and on trial runs.

Living and working together are all very different things. So making sure that the entire team and environment is compatible with the potential recruit and vice versa is extremely important to us.

Though we are only 1 hour from Bogota a major and really fun city not everyone wants to be living in nature. To that end we are also in the process of partnering with co-working facilities around the world to provide token holders free entry to remote labs and offices closer to where they live.

I like the idea of you guys having other facilities around the world that will provide remote access. Do you have any general locations in mind?

I still can't believe how fascinating this project is and how dedicated the team is to creating a better world. I'm really excited to see what this project will bring.

Thank you so much. This is really meaningful to us. Our focus is creating solutions to avoided problems.

If it makes the better world so be it 

We want to be clear with our intentions. We are a for profit for good company.

[Dofus]

What part of Columbia have you guys bought land in?

That's what I love about this team. There is nothing wrong with being for profit. Everyone has to make a living. But I really do think this will make improvements in the world.

Do you think Columbia will move (or already has moved) to be more accepting of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs?
