Good luck with project development.
There will soon be some great development coming.
This is going to be used in most places. The concept is really great!

Dear Faceter contributors!
As a result of the substantial and surprising demand for FACE tokens, and the experience we gained on Presale, we are pleased to announce the release of a new, improved and even more secure version of token reservation on our Token Sale. You can now receive a confirmed FACE reserve with 20% bonus* by prefunding your Faceter account. All early birds will get an additional 10% bonus**.
Here is how it works
- Enter your Faceter account.
- Prefund your account with any amount and any currency of coins that we accept (BTC and ETH process fastest).
- When your transaction is processed and confirmed, the amount of reserved FACE together with your bonus will be automatically fixed in your Faceter account.
- Reserved FACE and bonus will be credited on your Faceter account on February 15th.
* 20% bonus is limited offer.
** The additional 10% bonus is limited offer and is covered by the cancellation of our bounty program in favour of a limited bonus offering to all our contributors - we think this is a far better use of these tokens!
Here is some additional information to make Presale Bonuses really clear
- Those bonuses that were reserved by Presale Whitelists and not prefunded by contributors have not been allocated.
- These bonuses will go to those who are next in line on the Whitelist. An example is those who have 20% bonus may get 30%, and so on. We will update finally allocated bonuses in coming few days.

Yours,

Faceter CEO Chats Presale Success and Saving Lives. Exclusive Interview
Faceter CEO, Robert Pothier, sits down with CryptoCurrencyNews.com for an exclusive chat.
Faceter is the first decentralized surveillance system for consumers, powered by facial recognition software that’s been proven to work. From safety and security to marketing and beyond, Faceter is among the top rated ICOs on the market.
The presale ICO broke records yesterday and Faceter continues to be high in demand going into its token sale on February 15th. We got to chat with Faceter CEO Robert Pothier for an exclusive interview about how Faceter got its start and where the surveillance system is heading next.
If you’re unfamiliar with Faceter, read here.
So, Robert, tell us about your background and how you got started with Faceter?
After completing Business Management at college, I immediately went to London for 2 years where I worked for a logistics company for the supply of goods (wings up) for London Heathrow airport. It was a great place for me to apply my management skills.
On returning to South Africa, I immediately got into sales of technology. It was soon after that I came into contact with Russians trying to integrate European technologies and solutions for Africa. I was fascinated and immediately got involved, finding myself part of a group of great partners and developers around the world (mostly Russian).
The years of experience in the IT, telecommunication, and payment industries have helped me develop a keen eye for opportunity and a clear understanding of consumer needs.
From payment systems to card scanning and now facial recognition – it’s great to be at the forefront of the latest technology.
Why Faceter? Why focus on a surveillance system for the mass market?
We had already developed a card scanning technology (pay.cards) as a free SDK for developers to increase our global business relations.
Last year (2017), I was mugged by 4 guys at 9 am in the morning on a public street with many people walking by. It was very traumatic and I was shocked that there were CCTV EVERYWHERE, and the police could not do anything – even with complete fingerprints on my car which they mugged me up against. I was shocked that even the police could not utilize images to help people. I approached my team and now we laugh about “you got mugged so started a recognition company.” At this point, we had members like Vladimir Tchernitski who quickly shared their expertise. They could contribute to offering a solution of computer vision starting with facial recognition stepping the game up from pay.cards. We knew what we could develop but we also knew we needed a solution that goes beyond what is already there. This is where we tackled the issues of computer vision needing heavy computer resources to process the algorithms. On concluding that Fog computing with data mining would make the solution affordable, we researched the market and realized that nobody was doing it. Faceter was born, and we can offer it to the mass market at affordable rates.
How long has Faceter been in development?
Pay.cards was the first computer vision technology we developed about 3 years ago. As per the story above, we only recently developed facial recognition. I am incredibly proud of how quickly my team managed to develop a facial recognition MVP that hits 99.78% accuracy.
Not everyone immediately connects blockchain with surveillance, so what made you choose to use blockchain for the system?
We already needed miners to process our Proof of Recognition algorithms. It made perfect sense to develop a token that could reward them for their processes. Quickly the synergy was put together by utilizing a smart contract to burn a token from the market to generate a license for the customer. We then got ICO advisers involved who loved our concept immediately. Our whitepaper has a full description explaining why blockchain is essential for our business.
Why did you choose the Ethereum platform for Faceter?
Ethereum simply works for us right now and our product does not require high volumes of transactions either. This means that a more efficient platform can easily be considered later. Some considerations are already underway.
Why did you decide to do an ICO? What are your thoughts on ICOs?
It was clear to us to run an ICO. ICO’s are a quick way to raise funds to take our working solution many levels and quickly. We already need to use our own token to complement the token burning and issuing of the license. I believe the old days are gone where people could come up with an idea, open a website and raise millions for their ICO and the bad investments of the past is a good thing – it has taught investors to research their considerations and hence encourage more mature investments in projects that can really make a difference in the world which to most is the ideology of blockchain.
There have been concerns about scam ICOs in the past. What are you doing to gain people’s trust and ensure that Faceter rises above the paranoia?
I believe my team’s reputation on past projects and success stories speak for themselves. Secondly, it makes it easier when you have a working project. Even software has added tangibility when a customer can get a look and feel for how your solution works.
Faceter’s pre-ICO sale just ended. How did it go?
It is the most exciting part of our journey! We are so pleased to announce that we closed our presale at $10.8 Million USD. The whitelisting exceeded our expectations by 15 times what we originally were offering. Each of Faceter’s contributors is valuable to us, we aim for transparent and fair rules for all participants, so we took tranches of our token sale bonuses to allow more people to benefit from the presale.
Do you have any predictions for how the token sale will go?
Our Token Sale starts 15 February and there are still some bonuses. Immediately after the presale closed we saw a huge interest in the main Token Sale as of this morning (07Feb); we have already received over 5000 registrations for the main Token Sale.
What are your main long-term goals for Faceter beyond what we can see on the roadmap for 2019?
What we have learned so quickly from doing this ICO is that many retailers have contributed and we have gained a lot of international interest from corporates. Being heavily focused on an affordable, decentralized, mass consumer product, it was surprising to us but it is also shaping what we do. We are building a platform for a boutique of services and applications to build on. As millions of applications were built for mobile phones when Android launched, we can expect thousands of possibilities for surveillance solutions all working on Faceter platform.
What makes Faceter stand out from all the other ICOs out there? Why should people choose Faceter?
We are rated by many trackers as one of the top ICO’s and these sites (like icobench.com) are not controlled by us. We are the first to offer Proof of Recognition (POR), the first to be combining facial recognition with fog computing and data mining, have received incredible online support from the public that superseded our expectations and no other facial recognition company is offering an affordable solution for the mass market with open source. If you do a little reading (whitepaper, youtube searches) you will quickly learn why so many like what we are doing. It is also worth noting that during Presale activities, 83 corporate businesses from 52 countries have shown an interest in the product and have approached our company, seeking partnership opportunities.
What’s been the most challenging aspect of the project so far?
I am sure my development team would love to answer this, but for me, it was convincing people that Faceter is about offering convenience to an already strong network of surveillance around the world when many still have the mindset that it is about losing privacy. We take privacy very seriously but until now, this kind of technology has not been made available to the public…now it is and it is nothing to be scared of.
What are you most excited about for Faceter?
I am truly excited to see Faceter make a change in the world. When people will see the positive impact we can make by improving privacy and making our lives safer. Not (a safer world) for our children, but now and for us to live in; so that our children can grow up in a better one. I have so many scenarios of great things we will do, but the most rewarding will be when I see Faceter save lives.
Faceter is just getting started. The success of the presale shows how interested people are in this technology. The most important thing is that Faceter is not about eliminating privacy. It is about making the world a safer place to live in. For anyone still interested in participating in the Faceter token sale, check out the website for how to get involved.

I wanted to join the preICO but with drop of ETH price it's just not possible. I prefer to wait for ICO and probably at that time ETH will be more than 50% of this price
We understand your position and hope you will join us soon anyway!

Our Presale results have exceeded the upper boundaries of our own expectations to the extent that we raised 15x our expectation. We are truly thankful to all those who have contributed to our journey thus far.
Happily for contributors, it's not over yet. There are still some bonuses to be earned in our main Token Sale starting on February 15th and we know that our contributors, from small to large, will take advantage of this opportunity!
We are presenting at a contributor-focussed conference in Singapore today and we see increased interest in our project from the community who are represented at this conference. In short, if you are a dedicated believer in our project and have been following our progress, please apply for the main Token Sale Whitelist ASAP - and take advantage of the bonuses on offer. Our presentation in Singapore starts very soon.
Let's build the future together!

Congrats on magnificent start.
I read white paper and i like the projects
I fulfilled the requirements during presale yet there is no token in my ballance, why? how does it takes to tokens appears(since my friends got their tokens and i am the only remaining among them) ?
Here is my Transaction hash
2.2.2018, 21:7:4 Transaction hash: 0x73e9f9852c635fa7c40a5edadfe91bb7f199aed313b276e1b795810fe5cba0c4

P.S: I contacted the support and the tokens received, problem solved. thanks to Faceter support

First of all which ICOs did you participate in that were "complete chaos"? I am an active investor and I can't think of a single one at this point that fits your description. Further, a bonus structure should be coherent, or else it is not a structure but a lottery. If you say you are happy even if you get less bonus than others although you should have received more, than that is quite a weird investment approach. But that's your point of view and I respect that.
Okay I didn't elaborate enough on what I meant with chaos.
Most ICOs sold out way too fast, you had to put alot of fee into your transaction to even get through, which resulted in the infamous gas wars.
The Ethereum network was clogged and you had to wait to know if your transaction even got accepted.
If it isn't accepted you are losing gas with every try.
Sales I had these problems were Digitex, Insurepal and today Arcblock.
I said that the bonus structure was coherent and therefore the distribution fair, read through my posts again.
If they stuck to the pre-sale conditions they had before 90% of the investors wouldn't have gotten anything and had to wait until the real ICO.
At the real ICO the same chaos as mentioned above would occur and the 40% and 30% bonus would also sell out in minutes.
Ok I understand, but it looked like people here were complaining about getting different bonuses that didn't follow a chronological order. Some got higher bonuses although they got in later. If that was the case it is bad in my eyes.

$10 Million In 20 Seconds: FACETER Beats All Token Presale Records On Falling Market!
https://youtu.be/ig-HCkctgzs
We started the Whitelisting procedure on January 29th, 2018. Huge demand and contributor’s activity necessitated that the team deliver additional tranches of tokens that were originally reserved for the Token Sale.
Within 4 days Faceter recorded in excess of 8,000 Whitelist applications from 152 countries. As a result, Faceter has decided to run the Presale only on a Whitelist basis, with a queue and without free sale, in order to ensure fairness for the contributors.
“Such amazing support shows us how many people share our vision of the future, and we are humbled. We believe that advanced AI-based software should be available for everyone, especially in the realm of intelligent surveillance. We really want to make the world a safer and more pleasant place to live and we are glad that we have so many supporters who have come forward to play their part”, said Faceter CEO, Robert Pothier.

Hi,
I really like this project, I take 3 hour to read whitepaper. I think your price coin will rise in 2019 or 2020. anh I post on group invest in VietNam (about 1200 member).
Maybe have airdrop campaign? I really one some token because I don't have money now.

Hello,
How long does it take to see FACE balance, as I am still seeing ETH balance after 50 minutes of pre-sale started period?

It may take a few hours.
You will get your FACE tokens today.
Thank you for your patience!
February 05, 2018, 05:23:06 AM
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Due to high latency with transactions syncing, we will continue to pull new transactions for a few hours. During this time all Presale Whitelisted can still confirm the reserve and complete the purchase of FACE tokens. All the transactions initiated BEFORE 16:05 UTC (12.05 AM Feb 6th Hong Kong, 11.05 AM Ottawa) will be executed accordingly.
Please note that in the event you do not fund your account timeously, your bonus will be offered to the next person on the Whitelist.
Please follow the details in further announcements.
