Thanks for kind and perspective answer.

And I totally agree “We're all on the same team” this. Yes whole ecosystem is in the same boat.

"Adel Ecosystem Ltd. will utilize the Nxt blockchain for voting, accounting, and its core infrastructure." actually this is my concerns. Maybe another platform would suit better these needs.
NXT is solid no doubt, but it'd be better to find solid and trendy one. I'm pretty sure that you made all research but this is my thought. I said these because I think Adel deserves more attention.

Hi @newcoin01

All too often, comparisons between Nxt, Lisk, Ethereum, Ripple, and others are viewed as a war of opposing sides: Apple vs. Google, Coke vs. Pepsi. But at Adel we do not see it this way. From a global perspective, blockchain is still in its early stages, and we feel there needs to be a collective goal to join forces, to make blockchain grow and be successful: “We're all on the same team”

Adel wants to attract ICO investors from all blockchains. It is our goal to also attract mainstream (non-crypto) investors as well. When investors realize that Adel has a great vision and is building a solid foundation to be successful, then they will invest. Furthermore, we do not see the market capitalizations of any blockchain as a "glass ceiling". In other words, Adel has a goal to raise 33m US$, which will exceed the market cap of its underlying blockchain partnership. For example, Uber and Airbnb use Android or iOS as their platform, but the market caps of Google or Apple do not dictate the market caps of Uber or Airbnb.

Adel Ecosystem Ltd. will utilize the Nxt blockchain for voting, accounting, and its core infrastructure. In addition, public, private, or child chains on Ardor will be utilized in projects where the benefit of this technology can be utilized

Adel as a blockchain independent incubator. We will utilize other blockchain technologies if there is a better fit in features or functionality. The following blockchain projects are actively supported in the Adel ecosystem, but any blockchain project is welcome: Nxt, Ardor, Lisk, Nem, Byteball, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Stratis, Waves, and any other blockchain.

I think Adel could get more attention if they chose other platform.
Good luck.

CoinTelegraph: Adel’s Portfolio Diversification Increases Ecosystem Productivity

CoinTelegraph has featured an article focusing on the many benefits of a diversified blockchain portfolio.

This article discusses how the Adel Ecosystem benefits from the economies of experience that happen when a single team incubates a variety of projects. Every project adds to the team’s education, efficiency and experience. Increasing ecosystem productivity each time a new project is processed, regardless of its outcome.

Adel ICO participants who contribute over 1 BTC will be part of blockchain history, by voting on which portfolio projects to launch. After May 31, new members will need over 2 BTC to join the Adel community.

Our ecosystem sets a new standard for the blockchain industry. Your support in leading this effort is appreciated. Please help contribute to this grassroots community, by commenting on and sharing this article with your online communities:

Our ICO finishes in 3 days and we are offering a 20% bonus for combined contributions of over 4 BTC. Contribute here: www.adelphoi.io

If you have questions or feedback, please send us an email to [email protected].

Everyone got their bonuses at each stage, even below 1 BTC. But if they were over 1 BTC then their future contributions would carry over the same bonus (up to 15%).

a little question for curiosity's sake: did everyone who participated in the first days of the ICO get his 20%, 15% etc. bonus or only those who submitted at least a 1 BTC contribution? in the ICO terms & conditions paper I don't see any minimum submission requirement to get those bonus, but lurking on the reddit channels the post seems to imply that 1 btc was the minimum contribution

White paper #11, “Foundations of a Community Accelerator”, outlines big changes to the original ICO plan.  This new plan benefits members significantly. 

There are several  improvements, resulting in many questions from forum participants. This spreadsheet allows you to see specific details of the original ICO plan and the new ICO plan. The video tutorial, narrated by co-founder Gabriel Dusil, explains the logic behind the numbers. Transparency is part of Adel's commitment to integrity as the first legally compliant ICO to meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF), Know Your Customer (KYC) legal compliance, in the world.

Thank you for your participation. Our ICO finishes in 4 days so please contribute @ www.adelphoi.io

One of our Adel community members, has relationships in China.  Sent him this post.  One conversation can open so many doors.

@yubit, Yes the minimum was 900 BTC. for this reason we have outlined an attractive plan to proceed, in WP#11.  Please take a look at it on www.adelphoi.io.

Ok. But as I remember the minimum ICO aim 900 BTC, right? If will not 900 - funds will be returned to investors? Only 287 BTC raised I see now and 4 days left to finish.

Hi Yubit,

It is my understanding... the new ICO plan outlined in Whitepaper 11, has adjusted it so it can be a total of 4 BTC (no matter when contributed) for the 20% bonus. 

PS. After ICO, voting membership levels require a 2 BTC minimum, during ICO, only 1 BTC is required to be a voting member.  I learned today that with Dash voting members must own a reserve of 1,000 dash to vote.  I love the Adel model giving many the ability to have a voice.

Jess

Am I right understood  to get bonus 20% I must invest 4 btc at once or it will be as a summary?

Our marketing efforts have largely been based on public relations initiatives. We have exposure in mainstream media such as:
Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogeraitken/2016/12/06/adel-fintech-incubator-unveils-crowdfund-using-nxts-blockchain&refURL=https://www.adelphoi.io/&referrer=https://www.adelphoi.io/),
Tech Crunch (https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/12/can-you-trust-crypto-token-crowdfunding/)
The Economist (http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21721425-it-may-also-spawn-valuable-innovations-market-initial-coin-offerings)
Coin Telegraph (https://cointelegraph.com/news/adel-ico-due-diligence)
 
...and many more featured on the news section of our website. We have managed to receive a phenomenal amount of global coverage considering that Adel does not have money for advertising.
 
We have also written 11 white papers to date, released 3 project proposals, produced 4 infographic videos, 5 walkthrough documents for mainstream contributors interested in fiat to crypto conversion, so they can contribute to our ICO. We produced 3 video presentations from seminars about Adel, and we have a 25 page FAQ on our website. All our staff are identified in the Team section of our website, and we have built Adel to the the level of maturity and exposure you see today. We have spent 16 months building Adel with a stellar team of over 26 experts in the Adel Services team. We are also the first ICO to be AML/CTF/KYC compliant, in the world. So from a “marketing” perspective we believe we have significantly raised the bar for future ICO’s entering this space.
 
We are also on several social media sites where we communicate our strategy, vision, and ecosystem plans for the future:
Website: https://adelphoi.io
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adelphoi

theWiring: https://thewiring.com/groups/adel/
 
We realize that some people understand ICO marketing to mean “advertising”, and they have judged our marketing efforts strictly in regards to advertising exposure. I am the first to admit that we have not done any advertising, due to lack of budget in this regard. But with the resources we had available to us leading up to - and including our ICO, we believe that the exposure we have received international is unprecedented. We have managed to established a global brand presence on a shoestring marketing budget.
 
We hope that you will join our ICO and our community at www.adelphoi.io.

@loveliness, The way we look at it - everyone wins:
 
- Participants Win: The participants get a better return due to a more attractive bonus structure.
- Community Wins: There are two more rounds left to expand the community and incubate more projects!
- Ecosystem Wins: The market cap is higher (3x more, for example raising 300 BTC in the ICO)
- Adel Wins: Adel establishes a reserve to raise more funds for projects in the exchanges (the funds will stay in escrow till the 2nd phase license is obtained, as with the original plan)

On our Nxtchat Slack channel we have added a spreadsheet comparing the benefit of the new plan for participants: https://nxtchat.slack.com/archives/C3R8ZURFX/p1495780520949657
 
So we don't see any downside in the revised plan. It sets the stage for a bright future.

bittrex will be a good options here,,
i hope this adel will be listed on bittrex dev ..
