Hello! I am an editor from icoholder.com. Your IСO was added to our listing and now is available to investors: https://icoholder.com/en/ico/smart-investment-fund-token-sift-2514 You can edit your Page by adding more information about your ICO and also verify team members to improve ranking.
If you need any help - feel free to contact me!

Is this a token of security is a new trend? If it is STO then the tokens will be secured by the property so what is the property of SIFT?

Hi, just posting that I'm here.

If you want to transfer SIFT and clear out your wallet (leaving no SIFT in it) You have to set a gaslimit at 2,500,000 if the wallet you are sending to has some SIFT and even 3,500,000 if the other wallet has no SIFT. Be sure you use a low gasprice (0.5 GWEI) else transactions can become very expensive.

Problem is sending all to Etherdelta or from Etherdelta to an empty wallet. You can not set gaslimit in Etherdelta. You have to do it via Myetherwallet and interact with the ED smartcontract.

EtherDelta does not support setting the gas price directly. The best option for this is to use MyEtherWallet.com to directly access the EtherDelta smart contract to withdraw your SIFT.  You can use MyEtherWallet if you have a Trezor, private key, Ledger or recovery seed.    You must use the same wallet on MyEtherWallet.com that holds SIFT on EtherDelta – for example if you authenticate at EtherDelta using a private key, enter that key in step 9 below.


Once you have your wallet to deposit SIFT in to follow these instructions.  Please note your wallet will need enough ETH to cover the gas cost.  At 1Gwei and 2,500,000 of gas used that will be 0.00025 ETH.  Likewise if you decide you want a much quicker transaction and want to pay 10GWei for gas you would need 0.0025 ETH.


1.       Go to MyEtherWallet.com

2.       Navigate to the Contracts tab

3.       Enter the EtherDelta contract address of 0x8d12A197cB00D4747a1fe03395095ce2A5CC6819

4.       Press “Access”

5.       When “Read/Write Contract” section appears select “WithdrawToken” from the dropdown labelled “Select a function”

6.       In “Token Address” enter 0x8a187d5285d316bcbc9adafc08b51d70a0d8e000 (the address identifying SIFT itself)

7.       In “Amount” enter the balance of SIFT you want to withdraw from Etherdelta

8.       Select how to unlock your wallet (i.e. private key, Ledger, Trezor, etc.)

9.       Complete any actions in the right hand side that appear to unlock your wallet (clicking Connect to TREZOR, Connect to Ledger Wallet, Connect to MetaMask, selecting a wallet file, entering your private key, entering a mnemonic phrase, etc.)

10.   At the top right of the screen there are three drop downs – one o fhtme says “Gas Price: XX Gwei” (where XX is the current number).  We recommend changing this to 1 to reduce the transaction cost.

11.   Click “Write”

12.   A popup will appear.  When prompted enter “2500000” for the gas limit and leave “Amount to Send” as 0.

13.   Click “Generate Transaction” and the transaction should be generated.  You may have extras confirmation steps here with hardware wallets, etc, but if you’re happy with everything confirm any more popups that appear on your hardware wallet / on-screen.

14.   A transaction will be generated – follow the link to EtherScan.io to observe it.  Once it’s finished (may take a few minutes or even a couple of hours with 1GWei price) you will be credited SIFT in your wallet.

15.   You can then use MyEtherWallet.com to send the SIFT from your ED address to your normal wallet – or just keep it in this wallet.  If you want to send it all to another wallet you’ll need to send it with 3,500,000 gas limit at a recommended price of 1gwei


Once you’ve made your first SIFT withdrawal from Etherdelta you can withdraw again to the same wallet relatively easily to withdraw further SIFT to.  The gas price drops to 60k withdrawing some SIFT from ED to a wallet that already holds it and therefore it becomes possible to just use the EtherDelta interface for future withrawals.

 

SIFT is not very active here on Bitcointalk. But SIFT has a very active Telegram channel and a very open info stream from the SIFT team.

https://t.me/smartift  I'm happy to answer all your questions there (I am the community manager there and have the channel open almost all day, bitcointalk I have not open all the time)


ICO finished at september 15th

7229.35 ETH rasied and converted to $1,690,432.30 (to bad there was an ETH crash that weekend) resulting in a $1,436,867.45 fund after the initial 15% operational costs were deducted.

SIFT made a $21,289.53 profit in the first period which translates to a distributable profit of $10,644.77 or $0.0149323575538740801216497911 per SIFT.  

The $10,644.77 was worth 35.7560218 ETH at 10:00 GMT resulting in an 0.0000501581248088701102310953 ETH pay out per SIFT.

Profit first month was a bit low due to some onset problems. November profit will be about the same and after transfering the fund to a Luxembourg construction full operations wil start somewhere in December.

Is this ICO was to collect funds for investment fund?

And how was the result? Was it enough to get dividends?

Where is the most active channel of the project to get news?

Smart Investment Fund Token is now listed on CoinCodex.com. You can monitor price in real-time and create a watchlist.

Here's how coin overview looks like on mobile:



And this is the desktop view:

Added your project to the best russian ICO calendar http://icodaily.ru/ico-calendar-items/smart-investment-fund-token/
We wish you to achieve the maximum goal 

Its cool if you have bounty for this. ETH: 0x88DB7628F124fb389d96421F48D351e06ea30716

No there is no pre-sell - the ICO is slow running and no bonuses or giveaways.  Every ETH has the same value for the fund.



We ran a small social media bounty campaign but this is now closed, no further plans.

This coins look like i'ts promising, the information is is surprisingly easier to learn about.
Perhaps we could learn how to control it.

Seems to me SIFT is promising project, by the way is there pre-sell path, the of pre-sell and ICO particularly period?

Good to hear that the ICO is ongoing now, How about the bounties, will you open some bounties?

I think that is because of SEC is not accepting American citizens to take part of dividend projects.

Hi,

Guy from SIFT here.  I wanted to try and respond to the points you've raised.

1. Domain privacy service.
We do indeed use domain privacy.  Those of you that register domains know the huge amount of spam and service offerings that are received.  I've posted my LinkedIn profile publicly - it's in the Whitepaper and refered from almost every article about us.  I've also included links to my personal YouTube channel, Twitter feed and my university research profile.  James doesn't use social media publicly but did open his feed up to Smith & Crown to publicly verify his identity.  I'd hope that provides some degree of personal identity.  These links are on pretty much every post written about SIFT and on almost all listings.  From a personal perspective I've promoted SIFT within my LinkedIn feed - a network of people I've worked with over a decade and built up long-term contacts from.  We've got people investing that I've worked with and established long relationships with.  I appreciate that you don't know that but from my own perspective I've put my personal identity and reputation behind this so I very much want to show that.


2. Years of experience.  This is referenced a couple of pages into the whitepaper with URLs in the footnotes including a link to a thread in ForexFactory that started back in 2009 going through the product in its various evolutions from Pipbuilders to Smart Trader and SmartVSA.com and the other services that have been offered related to it (Trade Relayer, etc.).  The ForexFactory thread is about 450 pages long and mostly covers the period of 2009 to 2012 when initial client base was built up.  There are also G+ and Facebook groups that discuss it further as well as a few Smart clients that have joined our Telegram room.  I appreciate you reference that ForexFactory hasn't got much activity - later on - it's mainly promotion - but it does initially and if you search for the history it's not exactly hidden online.


3. Website standards.
I appreciate the site isn't as whizzy as it could be - actually there's a new version we're working on aside from all this but with a focus on delivering the products and no major issues that have come from it our focus has been on development of core functionality rather than marketting assets.  For one of the best delivering funds take a look at their website http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ - shiny web standards that become outdated very quickly are a representation of nothing more than a small spend focussing on that area.  We do plan a relaunch of a site, probably in 2018, when we release some major new changes to our volume analysis - but it's not been a priority.


I'd highly recommend joining our Telegram room - we've been posting trade analysis from our systems as we've had it come in over the last few weeks.  This has included us announcing our exit criteria and price levels.  We've then been posting again with corresponding signals in real time following the trades on.  Even if you doubt our history (of which there is plenty) then the trade and chart analysis we've put out during the ICO has been completely accurate so far - we've detailed expressly when we would not be trading as well even in a market that seems like it would support it, rather than just riding the recent highs.  There are a tonne of ICOs out there that cannot deliver this or show any proof of product.  You can go and purchase ours today - you'll also get a tonne of help setting it up and using it if you do (not for Crypto but for forex) and if you want to see where we are with crypto then our Telegram can show that.

The parent company was registered for the ICO specifically to be based in the UK and to move IP there as a USA comapny base (which is where the original product started) would be highly inappropriate.  This is the case with almost every ICO, it just happens in our case it's a relocation.

I do appreciate your concerns and if there's anything practical I can do beyond pointing all this out - I will.  In the interim regardless of this we've got a fully functional product that we're showing off on a daily basis rather than a product we promise to build in the future or that will be ready once the ICO is complete.  From our perspective this immediately puts us in a stronger position than many other ICOs.

If anybody feels this isn't the investment for you I understand, but I'd hope this can alleviate most people's concerns.  If you've got further questions come and talk to use directly and engage with us on Telegram - we'd love to hear from you https://t.me/SmartIFT

Thanks,

Guy @ SIFT

I will not invest here.

They hide their names for the registered website behind a privacy service.

The claim years of (successfull) experience with 1000s of customers, yet the reference they provide is a super long thread with no real activity besides the OP (who is not comfirmable as being connected to this ICO anyway).

They also reference their product "smartvsa.com" which has no references to be found anywhere. There is no link to any team behind it to be found. The owner of the domain name is not a team member. The website is extremely basic which is not very likely for someone claiming to have years of experience in algorithms (and this programming).

And finally their "parent company" Logic Trading Systems has been registered just one month ago.

Be careful.

Locking americans out will hamper the initial funding potentially available.

However I remain optimistic about this project and will no doubt invest before ICO end.

It is high time to show the Americans that not everything depends on their desire.

Unfortunately, as stated on our website, we are not open to investors from USA for reasons stated below, nor will we be looking to list on US exchanges.

Most recent ICOs have decided to leave out US investors from their ICO because of the recent SEC report, I think we will know soon when the team answer the question but there is huge possibility they are going to exclude US citizens

We hope to have exchange/liquidity announcements before end of ICO.

Im in!

I know James and I use https://www.smartvsa.com/products/ trading forex. Great product & support from James. I believe it will work in crypto too

If I would get in I would see it as a long term investment. However, the possibility to get out or buy more/back at any point in time adds value and investors.

If there are problems with liquidity in the marketplace post ICO and there is demand from investors we have been considering setting up our own ETH-SIFT exchange where we provide a buy-back and resale service to ensure liquidity in the marketplace - infact if you dig back through the commit logs on Github this was in an earlier version of our code.  It would be completely smart contract based so there would be no manipulation from our side but there are a couple of problems with it:
1. The price we buy/sell at has the potential to manipulate the rest of the market
2. We can get seen as market making our own funds value

We decided not to launch with this but instead to be guided by investors.  The technology is pretty much (we were going to have UI on our website and an application that sits on top of Geth/MIST to make it easy to use as well) there and the question was pretty much whether or not it made sense to do.  We would rather leave this to market forces so that we aren't seen to interfere in natural pricing, and we've also had a lot of investors who have stated they are not fussed with immediate liquidity because they are treating this as a longer-term investment, but if we get a sizeable amount (and certainly if a majority) of investors that want us to provide the liquidity and some service like this we will be doing so.

If one wants liquidity, how can one sell the token? Is the way the smart token works comparable to how Bancor offers to buy/sell the token?

Where is the bounty thread ? participants posting their data but i can not see any post about bounty and how to registered with bounty campaign ?

1. The product is called Smart Trader, originally known as Pipbuilders.  There's a very large thread on ForexFactory that details this from 2009 onward - from its early beginnings to a commercial product.  Feel free to read through it to get a sense of the product, customer and feels as the product has grown over time: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=157629

2. Only in profitable months, no fee when month itself isn't profitable.  An averaged return of 4% per month is viable based on our algorithms and past trading history.  We've been sharing trades over the last week as they happen in our Telegram room - calling them out as soon as spotted and follow to close.  The dividends only take half of the profits each month which means the rest is still invested to grow the fund.

3. No US exchange - yes.  This leaves a few options - the obvious being non-US exchanges.  We don't really want to get involved in day to day trading (as we don't want to market-make our own token) but we have developed a smart contract to act as an exchange for SIFT holders to buy/sell and use the contract itself to escrow the trades.  If this does become a significant problem the fund is ultimately backed and stored in fiat.  If we are being told by investors that this becomes a significant issue in the future we would propose a vote for a decision on whether to continue the fund as is or to vote to wind-down trading operation and cash out payment (we could exchange funds into ETH, or other as decided by SIFT-holders).  As we've said in answer to other questions we're happy to carry this fund on indefinitely but if a majority of holders want us to wind down operations gracefully we would.  This isn't throwing money at us for a product that doesn't exist to trade on revenues that don't exist - it's trading with funds held in trading accounts and regularly audited.  That means the funds are there to back the value of them regardless of listing on US exchanges.

There are so many red flag about this project,
1. 10 years of experience working with what company and where
2. Month dividends! How are you going to make this possible
3. The dividedns payment will make the value of the tokens to go south because no US exchange will list this on their exchange

We've paused the original social media bounty campaign that we ran prior to ICO and are now deciding if we're going to launch any more.  If we do we will update it here.

Hey guys, my newest youtube video about SIFT is live. It might help clear up any questions or thoughts you may have on the SIFT ICO and company.

Please check it out, and hit that subscribe button if you liked it. Thanks so much.

https://youtu.be/v0Mpd5sV5us

I am concerned with the definition of the USA SEC on a token that can be categorized as security...one aspect is that a token holder can be receiving dividends or earnings out of it...will this mean that SIFT is actually issuing securities? I know you are not in the USA but it has the power to go anywhere and wield its power...

Please clarify this for me.

Thanks for laying it out. Got some more questions, but possibly answers are in the whitepaper. Will check the whitepaper asap.

Thank you for the video - it's greatly appreciated.  For anybody who hasn't seen it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Mpd5sV5us

I just got done filming my youtube video about your ICO. Will be posting a link soon.

Definitely will be investing in this ICO, and hopefully my subscribers will too

Apologies - the URL redirect has been fixed for whitepaper - https://smartift.com/whitepaper - thank you for pointing this out.

Payouts are the first Monday of every month where there are profits.  The structure is as follows:
1. Trade profits for the month are all added together
2. A management fee is charged at the lower of 1.5% of entire fund value or 15% of that month's profits
3. The remainder is client-profit
4. 50% of client profit is paid in dividends as ETH
5. Remaining 50% of client profit is reinvested into the fund for future trading

If there has been no profit, there is no management fee nor is there any dividend payout

When the fund first starts a maximum of 15% of invested money is taken as operating expenses for the fund.  To ensure shareholder value this is repaid to shareholders before any management fees are taken.

A full breakdown of fee structures can be found at an example calculator assuming a static monthly return (obviously it's much more variable than this, however this is an average from our backtesting) at this page https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16BQS3VPRp_lAyYuOw2sXyZHk8NIE_F5Xz-XXPVXyiZk

Congratulations!!!
I wish the SIFT be a success project with a great presence in the cryptocoins market.

At last, what's everyone waiting is here. The rules is a little bit tricky but it's fine.

it's a good project i see, but it can more interesting if you use some picture about this project in the thread.. and also you use bounties to share this project in other forum..

More and more of this kind of (interesting) projects are having an Ico. What is the payout structure? Whitepaper link in ann doesnt work somehow.

https://etherscan.io/address/0xf8Fc0cc97d01A47E0Ba66B167B120A8A0DeAb949

ICO is running now,,, and at this moment already collected about 14.65 ETH
hope this is a good start for this project  

We were running a social media bounty campaign but have temporarily paused it whilst we determine best course of action over the next 45 days during the ICO.  We will post any updates here regarding next steps in bounty.

Looking promising project. Will keep my eyes on this project. Any bounty available for Bitcointalker member ? I would like to join the bounty if available,make bounty or airdrop to help you promotion this project,i will be supportfull

As lead-dev for this project one thing I'd like to emphasise is that it's the custom algorithms that use a combination of traditional analysis and AI that really make the difference with this and the fact we're established for 10 years already trading.  We'll be commencing live trading and analysis via a YouTube channel shortly.

Looks like private equity financing
More new ideas than other investment ICO selling points
The share of interest is represented by a token

The ICO is now live and details can be found at the website: https://smartift.com/

Please comment if you have any questions and thank you for your interest.

The investments will be for crypto pairs (i.e. BTCUSD) using proprietary algorithms.  The specific pairs that will be traded are detailed in the whitepaper.  If we ever diversify the trading portfolio to other pairs or to different a different investment class then that will be subject to a vote of tokenholders on the blockchain.

Hi,

I would like to reserve French translation please.

Thank you !

(PM me when you open the translation bounty please)

Is this going to something like equity funding on blockchain. I mean the token holders will vote to invest on lets say production businesses 

Bounty for Facebook/Twitter thread should be over at: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/paused-smart-investment-fund-tokensiftfacebook-and-twitter-campaign-2044165

Regarding US investment - correct we won't be taking personal investments from USA as stated on site, main post updated to reflect this

This project looks interesting , well planned and promising. I think a big community will promote it since it is having such great features.

Apologies for this we had a surge of traffic this morning, the site has now been scaled up and is online.

Looks interesting, but the website is currently down.

Please do PM me if you need German, Polish or Arabic translations.

Look like an interesting project sir.. I'll be watching this.

reserve indonesian translation if you needed

The systems used have been developed over ten years and the website for the ICO (https://www.smartift.com) is fully transparent about every aspect of the project.  Please take a look and thank you for your consideration.  If you have any questions I'd be happy to help.

Thanks

It's one of those great, very detailed, and well-planned projects, hopefully to be the latest breakthrough project, the best innovative I've ever met, good luck and excellent run

For anybody that's interested an example of the charting analysis that we use is over at https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6oh8gk/four_hour_chart_of_same_moves_as_yesterdays/

We're aware that just showing you a few PNGs with a few coloured signals on doesn't indicate whether or not investment strategy is doctored so are looking at seeing if we can setup a read-only TeamViewer (or equivalent) that we can pop some trading charts on in real-time.

The token name is SIFT.  It is a ERC20 Token on Ethereum.  You can find all of the details in our white paper which is available here: https://smartift.com/sift_whitepaper.pdf

If you'd like to connect to us directly for any questions visit the website or just comment here.

Thanks

what token is it? 

Looks very strong.  Subbed.

Summary
We are announcing the ICO of SIFT – an Ethereum token that is backed by a trading fund.  The ICO is now open until September 15th, 2017.

Smart Trader is a software product that was created in 2007 after a discussion on one of the world’s largest forex trading boards.  It uses market volume and range data to determine what the largest investors are doing before the rest of the market has reacted.  This is an advanced technique that we call Smart Volume Analysis which has its roots in volume spread analysis and isn’t often used by retail investors.

Since its creation, Smart has developed its own unique signals which have allowed thousands of traders to reliably and consistently make money – In fact, many of these traders rely on Smart as their primary income stream.

Smart Trader has been significantly improved and upgraded in the past year and as a result it is able to predict movements in the crypto markets with a high degree of accuracy.  Our algorithms use artificial intelligence to build a complete picture of a market’s trends over time. With the huge one-day fluctuations in crypto values over the last couple of months Smart has proved itself with most signals returning between a 75% and 100% hit rate depending on the signal and currency.

Smart is now launching an investment fund with funds raised via an ICO for Smart Investment Fund Tokens (SIFT).  SIFT can be purchased at a rate of 0.01 Ether via a smart contract and the total amount of SIFT that can be raised during the ICO is unlimited.  The amount raised will directly relate to the initial fund size – the more raised, the larger the trading balance.

At the end of the 45-day ICO the fund will start trading following a number of rules and risk-mitigation techniques that are detailed further in our whitepaper.  Once a month, half of profits will be returned to investors in the form of dividends (paid in ether via a smart contract) whilst the rest of profits will remain in the fund so that the asset value grows.

Having completed a significant amount of testing, including multiple simulations based on historical trading data, we believe that returns on investment of 40% per year are realistic and expressed by both dividends and asset appreciation.

SIFT is supported by five different smart contracts at launch that are detailed further in our white paper.  In addition to managing the token and ICO, contracts exist to allow shareholders voting decisions in the future direction of the fund, to pay dividends and to expose transparency information about money held by the fund.  Bank account balances and trading fund account balances will be published to the blockchain daily with read-only API keys made available where possible.  Once per quarter these figures will be externally audited and the results of audits made available immediately.

Smart Investment Fund itself will make money by a management fee applied to the fund.  This fee is only charged when the fund makes a profit and the fee is capped to never exceed a percentage of gross profit.  A full breakdown of the profit calculations is detailed further in our whitepaper.

We’re really excited about bringing the benefits of our proprietary Smart Volume Analysis to crypto-currency trading.  There’s a lot more information in our white paper for additional reference and we’d love to answer any questions that you may have.


Founders
James May started his career as a trader in the 1980s working in Wall Street.  After several successful deals and working with many IPOs he retired from trading before he was 30 and became an early investor in Netscape at the start of the web.  Over the past twenty years James has worked with numerous internet-based startups and grown the Smart Trader business.  Having developed Smart as a product initially for forex markets, James adapted the trading algorithms to crypto currencies in 2013 and has been working towards this product launch ever since.

Guy Powell has worked as a software developer and architect for some of the world’s largest technology companies as well as launching businesses in the music and retail sectors.  His work has covered everything from mobile apps to architecting security systems for government agencies and everything in-between.  For the last year he has spent his time working with James on the launch of the Smart Investment Fund and undertaking a PhD in robotics and artificial intelligence.  His interest in crypto-currencies started in the first days of Bitcoin and he has been writing software that integrates with blockchains since 2012.

A lot more information on our founders is available in our whitepaper.
