Indorse Public Announcement — ENS address of indorse.eth

https://medium.com/joinindorse/indorse-public-announcement-ens-address-of-indorse-eth-e341738dbc6f

This is to inform the community that the official Indorse ethereum name service address is indorse.eth (lowercase i,n,d,o,r,s,e dot e, t, h).

Please be advised that any other ethereum address that is posted or sent to you in private messages, slack channels, twitter posts. Etc. are possibly phishing attempts.

We will be using the ENS system for our upcoming token sale, please take care and only use the official ENS address when transferring your ether.
If you see anyone posting as Indorse with another ethereum address, do not send any ether and let us know immediately.

We know this back a lot of phishing everywhere, to anticipate you have reminded us, with this I hope indorse project does not happen anything, hopefully this ico run with success, I want to ask how and who get pre-sale?

For Pre-Sale, there were proper registrations & KYC process. The minimum amount was 100 ETH with the cap of 14000 ETH. It got over pretty quickly.

The Token Sale starts on August 8th. It has no minimum. The Token Sale is neither advertised to nor open for US residents though.

How many investors joined the pre-sale?
Maximum 140 but I guess some invested much more than 100ETH Cheesy

Some numbers from the Pre-sale:
Total Emails Received for Whitelisting: 316
Total Whitelisted Eth Wallets: 51
Total Participants: 20
Average amount: 690.37 ETH

For the token sale (on August 8th) however, there will be no minimum & we're working on to make sure everyone gets a fair chance to get in.

Thanks for the update.
I'm surprised some of the whitelisted didn't invest in Indorse.

Overall, the white-listing process did work as planned. However, the friction created in the on-boarding process may be too high of a barrier for many potential participants.

The flow of the buying process was as follows:

- In advance, the participant would register their non-binding commitment via email or a form on the pre-sale website

- The email of the committer is then manually placed in a website database which allows access for the next step

- They would then be emailed letting them know to come back to the website to enter their ether wallet address and accept the terms and conditions

- The ether address would then be manually white-listed in the smart contract (the contract would only accept transfers from these addresses)

- They could now send ether to the smart contract address

We did the above as a way to create something similar to a queuing process. We wanted to allow people to participate on a first come, first served basis.

As you can see, there’s quite a bit of friction in the above steps…

We had many people come to the white-listing form directly without having their emails approved. If their email was entered on the form, they were put on a waiting list to allow the previous commitment group to complete their transactions first.

I got it now Cheesy

BTW I'm pretty happy with your support in here. Hope you'll be the same after the ICO Wink

Of course!

What will prevent someone from Indorsing everyone, will their be some type of weight system where if you indorse someone that isn't any good it could hurt you?

Every member will have own Reputation Score. The algorithms & protocols of the platform are designed to make sure it has mechanisms to reward good actors and penalise bad ones.

Also, the system will choose the indorsers for your claim based on the category (e.g. coding, writing etc), one can not choose his/her indorsers.

Hey guys, where can we see the presale address? How much was collected during the presale and how much bonus they recieved because of the presale?

indorse.eth is the official Pre-Sale address. You can check it on etherscan.

The pre-sale contract began accepting ether on July 26th and was scheduled to last until August 3rd, or until the contract hard cap was hit. The contract hard cap was set at 14,000. The contract required a minimum 100 ETH to be sent to it. After deploying we did an internal test transaction of 100 ETH, effectively bringing the actual amount that the contract could accept to 13,900. If less than 100 ETH was sent to the contract, it was rejected. Upon hitting 13,807, we finalized the contract as no more ether could be received.

Every contributor received 25% bonus.
i.e. actual price: 1 ETH = 1000 IND
Pre-Sale participants received 1250 IND per Ether.

Wow, pre-sale sold out with that huge min. Investment.
That's very exciting and big news figuring the crowd sale is seeking only 5X presale.
I'm impressed!

Second. I had a user ask me a question about bots on the platform.
Is there any sort of deterent being created for bots.
In comparison to steemit where bots can effectively take from the reward pool, how will indorse prevent this sort of platform abuse.
Bots are a plague when it comes to rewarding social networking...

Thanks, keep up the good work.

Thanks.

That's really an interesting question. We ourselves have been thinking about it a lot.

Indorse will have in-built mechanisms and integrations with other applications like uPort to minimise the damage caused by Sybil attacks.

As you must be aware, uPort is a self-sovereign identity system that allows people to identify themselves and authenticate both on and off the blockchain. The Indorse platform will be integrated with uPort so that the identity of the member on the platform corresponds with his real identity. uPort is also useful for signing the blockchain transactions directly from a mobile phone.

We're brainstorming still more on how to make it work with bots & duplicate accounts - effectively & efficiently.

That seems to be a good start. I'll pass that information along although.

As for your most recent comment about trying to create a fair opportunity for investors...
I'd recommend putting an investment cap per eth address of say 100eth for the first hr or 2. Maybe even the first day... It's not like a big invested couldn't get around that limit, but it atleast forces that investor to spend extra time opening wallets which would provide smaller investors a chance.
With that sold out pre-sale news, I fully expect this crowd fund to go quick.

Also. When can we expect the alpha platform (rough estimate)?

That's a good idea. Thanks!

We're working on POC. the invite-only alpha will be out soon. Can't commit an exact ETA though, estimating that POC will be out this month mostly.
