Hi all
this is something I stumbled into by pure chance. I'm long time (since 2011) ClearOS user, and found this because
I was (after a long time) browsing their web page. ClearOS is specialized Linux distro that mostly serves as proxy/gateway
for accessing Internet, although their application market offers a lot more (mail server, NAS storage, SAMBA, firewalls...)
Recently they decided to launch their blockchain and token named CLEAR, with very ambitious goals...I don't have
any official info, but wayback machine says they at 22.07 collected more than $102m USD, with hard cap
set at around $400m USD ($614m NZD)

Even those 102m places it at around 50th position by market cap, and it seems they didn't even try to reach
crypto community, but relied only on their existing user base to spread the word. Amazing.
Even their telegram group reflects their "old school" approach (only 31 member at the time I'm writing this)
https://t.me/getclearNow, whats this all about?
If you're familiar with Essentia, this is probably the only project with as wide scope as Essentia, but I dare to say even wider,
as they plan to be one place to integrate everything...wallets, storage, their existing application market, and dApps all
at one convenient place
They even plan to add additional level of security through their own hardware:
https://clearnode.com/Those familiar with SIA will remember Minebox hardware...CLEAR bought that project a while ago and integrated it
too, so HDD mining will be included soon
As it seems that ICO is finished, another way to earn some coins will soon be free (and huge) airdrops
through daily public giveaway bonanza that you can join here
https://clearfoundation.co.nz/I could probably write about this a lot more, but if you're interested, you can find everything on provided
links anyway
I will go through the website and learn more about the project. Are you part of the team or you are just helping them to publicise the platform freely?
