Problem
At the traditional crowdfunding platforms, the investor cannot control the project development process. He gives money and loses control over them, fully relying on his opinion about the developer, which is made up of many factors, and the developer pays the service a commission from the funds raised and pays for additional services.
Thus, the crowdfunding platforms currently available on the Internet do not fully take into account the interests of both investors and startups.
In my opinion, the Investor should receive maximum guarantees, and the Startup is an easy start for his project.
Only the use of blockchain technology, in the form of smart contracts, could help solve this problem, but ICOs were compromised by fraudsters due to the lack of generally accepted standards of smart contracts for their implementation. As a result, the funds were collected, but the development was not conducted.
Decision
Attempts to create such a standard were undertaken by one of the developers of the standard token Ethereum ERC-20, Fabian Vogelsteller. He presented his “reversible ICO” model (RICO). It is based on a smart contract, which allows investors to return their funds in exchange for the tokens they purchased at any time during the project. In this case, the returned tokens can be bought again by other investors.
This is a good idea to protect investors' funds, but it completely ignores the interests of developers. What is the point of organizing a crowdsale if the developer cannot use the money?
An acceptable for all standard smart contract for RICO should take into account the interests of all participants in the investment process by dividing the development period into stages during which investors can withdraw their investments, but only until the development period of the current phase has ended.
We create the first standard of a smart contract for RICO with built-in exchange for tokens. To participate in testing, install MetaMask Rinkeby http://satoshi.team/#0xcf781330fa20baf8808ce6f1908854f0b23e971f Rinkeby Eth for tests https://faucet.rinkeby.io

Hardfork launch at the end of February, Fidelity launch in March. So big whales going to pump already? When we can expect growing? 
The next few months is going to be really interesting in the crypto-verse. Hopefully we will finally be able to break through this bear market.
ETH price fluctuating too much. It causes concern in investors for a coin that has so much potential.
this is a sign of the market we are in right now. this will be one of the coins that come out of this bear market with a bang. just hold it,keep mining it. and wait
Yes, we need to grab as many coins as possible in the current situation of the market and yes we dont need to bother about the current price. Surely it will come to second position in the market once we see development by the end of Feb. Let's be positive in the market until the price of ETH starts increasing.
Trading in a pair of HATCH/ETH.
yeah price of eth is low but most important thing is price is stable no pump and dump. in bull period eth can gives huge profit. specially for those who spent alot on eth. total crypto market cap is 12 billion right now i hope it will increase in future. i think after fork update eth price will move.
Fork update, you should not use it.Upgrade or hard-fork, only one of them.
I can not disagree that when the Constantinople upgrade activated, Ethereum will get very huge motivational force, and will raise significantly than its low price at the moment.

Big investors will likely buy BTC when it starts rallying again ETH going up this year is something even I is looking forward, but looking at the price and the coming fork that might reduce the supply by 33% surely it will make a difference.Point of fact: it is a hardfork. Blocks produced after Constantinople are not compatible with blocks produced prior.
Anytime you want emissions to change outside of the protocol, you need to hardfork to make that happen.
Emission rate is reduced by 33%. In turn, this reduces circulating supply (compared to what it would have been without the change). It doesn't reduce by 33% (that's just dumb math), but it will be reduced since less ETH is being pushed out.
ETH developers are trying to get rid of miners and leave only asics to mine it's easier for them and they get paid by bitmain you are blind if you don't see that, they delayed the anti-asic code implementation "for further testing" yeah right what a joke they'll never implement it. How are you dip buyers keep on buying someone must pay for devs vacation all these symposiums they attend all the time are expensive guess who's paying.
lol noob alert.

But other currencies will be grow as well in some time. And ETH will be listed to Fidelity too as I know.

this bull run is going to be massive because last time there was just the news of wallstreet and it went straight 20k.. ones it quietly reaches 10k people will start buying and that will bring a biggest bull run perhaps to 100k bitcoin or more.. but all i feel is this is gonna be great .. The pending etf will be a game changer.. digital assets really can change the world it works flawless may be we are in very early stage... but i have a good feeling about this.
Basically us miners are going to pay for eth price decline again. devs cut out share I dont see how is this beneficial for price? their idea is 'lets cut 33% of miners share and they will sell 33% less which will make price increase with 33%'.. WTF??? 
Maybe because good developers actually don't care about the price but about the tech.

As we can see that BTC, ETH and other crypto again in red sign, there is no chance to grow in start of February but we can expect after upgrade that going to happen end of this month, ETH price will start growing but now if ETH break the support line $100 like last time then i will buy ethereum and i will never miss chance again.

it look like whales is selling 
It is announcement thread, not trading discussions, so please no forecasts or causes of prices moving here. Use a special thread.

The predicted long slide has begun.
Begun or over?I'd say over, because I'm not seeing the price going down $100 although price is stuck on a little (up/down) - no significant move as of the moment.
Don't listen to bull market talk. They want your money to hold the price...
They inspired us, why not? I'm holding ETH since the value was over $1,000 and I don't think I have to give up now.

Do you guys think that the price of ETH will rise again in anticipation of the upcoming fork, just like it did last time? I would love to acquire more of it, naturally. 
Many people are bothering about the current situation of ETH but we know how potential the price of ETH is going to be in the coming days. We need to stay strong with our ETH holding because now the situation makes us to negative about ETH but once the market starts recovering the price of ETH will surely increase in the market.
