The Private Presale, and the Public CrowdSale are being handled by Eric Voorhees at Sale.Voxelus.com which is powered by Shapeshift.io
31.5 Million Voxels have been Released for Sale with Time-Based Tiered Pricing.
The private presale sold 1.2 million Voxels to initial investors.
Voxel’s public crowdsale at Sale.Voxelus.com will last 30 days and will sell up to the remaining 30.3 million tokens it has made available at this time.
Voxels are priced in Bitcoin , on day one of the crowdsale they will be available for 0.001 BTC (approximately $0.34 USD) each, based on that day's exchange rate during the crowdsale.
This rate will only be available for 24 hours, ending on Tuesday,  November 3, 2015 at 8:59 am PST.  
After that, the rate will increase to approximately $0.38 USD  (900 voxels per Bitcoin) through Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at 8:59 am.  
Final tiers are at approximately $0.43 USD (800 voxels per Bitcoin) through Sunday, November 22nd 2015, and $0.45 USD (750 voxels per Bitcoin) through December 2 (earlier if all voxels sell out first).
PLEASE NOTE THE CROWDSALE IS OVER THESE RATES NO LONGER APPLY.
The Final selling crowdsale price was 1/650 per BTC.

FUTURE DISTRIBUTION - VIA VOXELUS and UPHOLD
Voxels is the only currency for use in the Voxelus VR Platform.
The remaining 85% of Voxels will be released for public sale over the next 20 years at Voxelus.com and Uphold.
Each 15% or 31.5 million VOX will be available for sale, after the previous 15% has been purchased. This will happen as the Voxelus VR Platform expands, Voxels will be released based on public demand as they are purchased from Voxelus.com and Uphold. Some Voxels will be offered and used for development, content creator bounties, and marketing.

@Jimblasko
Did Voxel team sell any of remain 85% vox?

So, when is the interview going to be published?

Hello guys,

i hope anyone can help me my voxel desktop wallet doesnt syncro ...
i tryt do send 200 voxel to my desktop wallet but now the wallet doesnt syncro :/

thanks

ready for it

Someone other than investors whose holding a lot of coins dumped VOX from the start, mostly everyone knows who's the real culprit.

I think this coin is a scam, dev insta dumped the coin, I don't think ico investors would dump this from 0.001+ to 0.00007, unless the investors are stupid.

Look the supply there's an answer

Look at the chart there's an answer.

How do you derive the pump? hmm...

They were selling 900vox per 1btc in crowdsale and now for 1 btc you can buy about 12,5k vox.

I smell a huge pump. We had a few test pumps and price seems to bottomed at 6k.

Up over 20%. Any news?

The volume manipulation is serious in bittrex. With only 10 btc buy support, it creates daily 50 BTC volume. Must be whale self buy and sell.  

I just wonder why he didn't do this on polo, if he does this on polo daily, it will ensure the listing on polo, never be delisted from polo

I've been looking a bit into Martin Repetto's background. According to his LinkedIn profile, he was CEO or Minor Studio (a company of Hasley Minor) from 2008 to 2011, and was in charge of a game project called Atmosphir, which key feature was the ability to design your own 3D worlds. Looking at Youtube videos of Atmosphir back then, when it had 20 or so developers working actively on it (again according to Martin Repetto's LinkedIn), it looks strikingly similar to Voxelus.
Video tutorial of Atmosphir builder (2010): here
Video tutorial of Voxelus builder (2015): here
There are many more similarities, like similar textures used between Atmosphir and Voxelus. Search Atmosphir videos on Youtube and Voxelus videos on Vimeo.

So same entrepreneur, same CEO, same lead developer, same concept, very very similar engine and game mechanics, very similar texture and objects base...
This leads me to the question: is Voxelus an attempt to ROI Atmosphir's intellectual property (that belongs to Minor Studio and therefore Hasley Minor)? What happened to Atmosphir? Could the same happen to Voxelus?

According to Atmorsphir's wikia page:


then


So basically the project failed due to lack of funding after one or two years of uncertainty where progress seemed to have staled, site was blank, and little information was released in complete disregard of the community... Does that ring a bell? And when the project ultimately died, instead of releasing the code as open source to save the thousands of hours of work the community poured in building games and levels, Minor Studio just pulled the plug and hung them out to dry, and some community users had to reverse engineer the binaries to figure how to recreate an open source version of the engine to salvage everybody's work.

Three years later the project is relaunched as Voxelus, still closed source although it's been crowdfunded. And once again, funds dry up, development stales, information release slows down to a trickle. Are we headed for a repeat of the failure of Atmorsphir? Is the project going to agonize another one or two years while every last premine token is being dumped, and then the project will shutdown, and reopen under another name in a few more years? Or was Voxelus just a way to ROI the expenses incurred by Minor on Atmosphir at the minor cost of a simple GUI redesign and a bit of marketing?

How to interpret this is very much a question of subjective perception. Under the current circumstances where the leadership of the project can't even be bothered giving updates to the community that crowd funded their project, and yet still actively maintain a wash-trade bot on Bittrex to generate fake volume, the worst should be assumed.

Let's give one more week to Voxelus folks to get their shit together, give an update and answer pending questions on this thread.
If nothing is done, we should assume this is indeed a scam based on a rehashed and rebranded failed project, and start airing the matter more widely, including contacting Bittrex and Poloniex to ask delisting.

You bet these shameless scammers aren't even working http://forum.voxelus.com/index.php?threads/editor-wont-load.497/#post-1606

Forum thread started on Aug 11 by someone asking for help regarding an editor that wouldn't load.

17 days - no response by anyone. Most of the forum is dead - no announcements, bug reports or tutorials for a LONG TIME. Some sections of the forum are overrun with spam.

No one answers concerns about the premine (where is it? show us the addresses)

Halsey Minor, Jim and Martin keep dumping the premine on you fools who would rather not complain and keep waiting for good things to happen.

Post the premine address with 180 million coins. It is not too much to ask

Jim Blasko obviously doesn't give a fuck about questions on Voxels. He is more focused on his other shitcoin UNB

You ask Jim Blasko about Voxelus, he's like, "oh go use Voxelus and find out"
Ask him about Premine, "go look at the block explorer"
What is your job then Mr Blasko, please leave. The Vox community does not need you. We need a better member who is not afraid of answering questions

As usual he copped out without answering concerns

What you call FUD is actually legitimate frustration over lack of communication from your side. The dev says nothing. I would like to see the premine address with 180 million Voxels

Seems like my question slipped through the cracks, so let me ask that again

@jimblasko: why does Voxel need to be it's own blockchain, in particular a cripled blockchain that's controlled centrally and therefore pointless? You would have much less maintenance overhead, much more transparency, and real decentralization if you used tokens like Counterparty or Omni or Ethereum based tokens. It would also be much more simple for everyone to use and for exchanges to support. There are many good projects that use these tokens: Maidsafe, Synereo, Storj, Agoras... You may have future plans to implement custom features at blockchain level, but by then blockchain technology will have changed so much that your Litecoin fork will be totally obsolete anyway.
