What is the ICO price of TKN please, thank you, I missed the ICO but I wanna buy from Bittrex, I need the info, thanks a lot.
Thoughts on Visa discussing this with their lawyers?
((((Last week, an initial coin offering (ICO) for something* called TokenCard raised** $16.7m in “mere minutes”, according to the PR spin embedded in the emailed correspondence to this reporter following the event.
It was brought to market by an outfit called Monolith Studio, which until recently had offered sparse information about who was behind it, apart from a loose connection to Peter Vessenes, bitcoin investor and founder of something called “New Alchemy” (no less).
As is increasingly common in the promotion of these launches, a proposal pitching exclusive details ahead of the offering was made to the press. This, from April 19, being an example from our own inbox (with Monolith calling itself Monolith Ventures):
Details revealed over the next few weeks showed the project was the brainchild Mel Gelderman and another chap called David Hoggard. Their respective Linkedin bios were either exceptionally thin on the ground or non-existent.
The pitch itself was pretty forthright (please note the emphasis):
Tomorrow, Monolith Ventures will open the ICO for TokenCard, the first debit card powered by smart contracts. When the card launches, holders will be able to use it anywhere that accepts VISA.
And the promotional blitz disseminated after the launch on May 4 reiterated the key points:
Monolith Studio’s TokenCard closed its token launch Tuesday, May 2, 2017, after exceeding its crowdsale goal in mere minutes. TokenCard is the first debit card powered by smart contracts incorporating the VISA payments network with Ethereum. It immediately gained attention in the Ethereum community after its announcement and quickly reached and surpassed contribution goals for this one-of-a-kind project. For the first time, token holders will be able to use Ether as well as other ERC20 tokens to purchase items anywhere that accepts VISA debit cards.
Suffice to say, the above made a lot of TokenCard’s access to Visa’s payment networks — if not leveraging Visa’s brand rather explicitly for its own purposes.
You’d think Visa — had it truly decided to associate itself with or back a crypto venture this explicitly — would have also communicated the unprecedented cooperation. It didn’t.
To the contrary, a spokesman from Visa Europe told us on Friday that:
At this point I’m unable to establish any business relationship between Visa and this company. Our lawyers are looking into this and I will come back to you if I have any further insight.
The accompanying promotional graphics for TokenCard have since gone from this))))))

Much ado about nothing, or a real concern?

congrat fisth open market anded bittrex good luck
Very good news. I'd like to trade on bittrex with my TKN.
Anyway, is it possible to have an exchange to trade TKC?
Wow its a big news! i am a tokencard holder, its wonderful
I tried depositing .2 to myetherwallet and no balance is displaying.
I also deposited 1 tkn into bittrex and again no deposit or balance is showing.
When I check etherscan.io my transaction has been confirmed and shows that it has been sent and received.
Also under https://ethplorer.io I checked and it's showing I have a balance of my TKN; so why is balance not displaying on MEW or Bittrex???

Why is this valued at 55m mcap when plu can do everything this can and more but at 2m mcap?
Where can I find a wallet?

I'd just like to notify people that in the TKN Slack channel they are implementing censorship. I've been banned from the channel for being too pessimistic about the ICO.
This is never a good sign. Proceed with caution.

Pity. I've noticed you around the forum and seem pretty helpful and knowledgable.
However I did notice you earlier in the thread say you were not able to participate in the ICO, so perhaps they thought you were trying to talk down the price
I have bought more because I already knew if big ico's get on Liqui first you often get eager profit takers selling into a very thin market/small exchange.
While I know they're busy working instead of talking and prefer slack, I would have liked to have seen more communication and updates.
Offering support on slack for a project where you got 12.5mil in 30 mins ... just sucks ballz for the investors (the admin for slack channel can't handle all the volume...because each solution is burried fast in the chat ). Nobody understands what are the news ... who is admin...who is who...and who is trying to help or talk ****.
How freaking hard is for them to update the tokencard ICO page ... and add a News button or Updates ... FAQ
Final TKN number ?
TKN Good ? TKC Bad ?
How to watch your tokens in mist ... etc . (the address is posted in the left corner and no info )
The Visa logo was removed because ...
"Follow us on Twitter " Really ? ... Last update April ?
Btw...the 5% bonus....for SingularDTV .... great marketing for Singular...but did they bother to mention...that if you send from their wallet you can't receive your coins(I didn't transfer from exchange as advised )? And so far nobody knows how to recover them ? Only info I received was on slack to recover with the mnemonic phrase my singular wallet...but guess what...it doesn't work...because you then have to find your wallet address in god knows how many eth addresses there...and since it displays only 5 / page...well its gona take ages?
We are naive for running after these ICOs without asking more questions about the team..and looking into the projects more . Most will end up a big trainwreck.
How can you add Visa logo ... without knowing the legal status of this action ? There is an article that lawyers from visa are looking into this ?
My impression about this one (and my first ICO ) is we paid for a great idea .... that had no real project / leadership/ structure to handle all the money and it was a rushed ICO .
Hope it turns out well !
End of rant and sorry for my bad English
This is good news you beat me to share this. Nice to see it has been added to this exchange now hopefully it will catch more attention more big investors who missed the chance to buy from ICO.
Not selling 1 TKN until September
So of I'm wrong the tokens will be availabe for trading in september, It there is a big gap the price of Ether might affect the trading price then
Are you just joking , right ?
https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/tokencard/#markets TKN is already trading on exchanges (but not on many yet ).

Funny, people on slack also complained that the mods weren't doing enough to filter out trolls and FUDers. I brought up my legitimate concerns with the project in a reasonable way and got answers from the team, not banned. This is never a good sign. Proceed with caution.

Being a troll on slack usually gets you banned. Color me unsurprised.
Average ICO price of TKN was how much?
39,406,760 tokens were created (including bounties and dev share) for $12.7 so the average price is just about $0.3223. The actual amount paid per tokens is of course higher.You forgot they collected about $3.5M in tokens (at pre-determined rates - can be found: http://vessenes.com/tokencard-tech-roundup-and-erc20-crediting/ )
So it's about $0.4 per TKN including bounties and dev share.
In fact about 2/3 of participants paid 1 ETH for 100 TKN and only about 1/3 was able to get a discount (150-110 TKN per ETH)
At pre-set ICO x-rates, to get in, people paid something like $0.7 per TKN on average.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also 15% of the 39M tokens are locked for now according to the whitepaper, so the availeble supply is about 33.5M

All ETH-s will work with the coin based ?
