Decentraland team just posted more details about their advisory board. Some heavy hitters on the list, including Xiaolai Li of INBlockChain and Jake Brukham of CoinFund:

I've been digging deeper into the Decentraland project. I think this team can really make this grand vision happen. (They are leagues ahead of some of the other "VR on the blockchain" projects out there -- which shall remain nameless -- that only have a white paper and a website, and no experience in this industry).

Decentraland has struck up important partnerships with other respected blockchain projects too. For example:

District0x to support the sale and resale of Land in the Decentraland world: https://blog.district0x.io/decentraland-districts-40b9ada0431b

Aragon to enable decentralized governance within the Decentraland world: https://aragon.one/

This article does a great job of explaining these partnerships and the overall plan for MANA tokens and LAND in Decentraland: https://vrscout.com/news/decentraland-metaverse-blockchain/#

With the token sale coming up on August 17th, this is one to watch.

Here's an article they posed about how to participate: https://blog.decentraland.org/how-to-participate-in-the-decentraland-token-sale-1833cf0b8137

Thank you for your reminder for fake official website and the risks of scams, I will try my best to follow the latest update from this project and buy the ICO tokens correctly.

Dear community,

The reception to our whitelist announcement on Wednesday has been overwhelming, and we can’t thank you enough for your unwavering support. The open metaverse is coming and you’re the protagonists making it happen.We were deeply saddened to learn that on Friday several community members were targeted in a phishing attack. Scammers have replicated our fundraising platform on the similar-looking domain decentraiand .org, which when written with a capitalized ‘i’ looks identical to the real domain. Watch out for this domain, it’s not us.We are very aware of how expectant you are to receive the instructions on how to guarantee your spot in our upcoming token sale, but sadly, we are not the only ones who know this. The scammers do as well, and we believe they will try to capitalize on it.Given how well-executed their trap is, we’ve decided to cancel our community whitelist( to prevent people from being scammed out of their funds. Instead, we are going to offer everyone who registered before the August 14th 00:00 GMT deadline a *guaranteed 40% discount on the token sale, regardless of when you contribute. You still will have to contribute before the sale ends.Remember that Decentraland will not ask you individually to send funds to any address. Ignore every email and every direct message you get about this, even if it looks to be coming from a Decentraland team member. It’s very likely it’s a scam.We hope to see you when the token sale starts on August 17th 8pm EST.Once again, we appreciate the community’s overwhelming support as we continue building Decentraland.

We’ll see you in the metaverse,
The Decentraland Team

Wow, the development team and advisors are so experienced and famous that I can not wait to take a close look at this project, I want to know if there is any pre-sale? If so, please tell where and how,thank you so much.

Hello, I can see the 20% of the total supply will be distributed to the team and early investors, and I want to know if there is any holding plan for this part of funds. Thank you.

I'm very excited for the upcoming token sale. The team behind this project really knows their stuff and has been active in the blockchain world for years. They've posted their smart contract code online and had it audited -- both good signs: https://blog.zeppelin.solutions/decentraland-mana-token-audit-ee56a6bca708

Plus one of the guys behind OpenZeppelin, which a lot of ICO-related ventures use as the basis for their contracts, is on the board: https://blog.decentraland.org/introducing-the-decentraland-team-3071f7c947a

The slack channel is very active too.

Not to mention, this could be the start of the Metaverse! 

Slack is pretty active over 3500 user. You can join Slack and ask question or discuss about the project.

It's all so quiet in here, where has everyone gone ?
Is there some other forum I'm not aware of where all the chatter on Decentralalaland is happening.
I'm sure there was another bitcointalk forum but it seems to have vanished, maybe I'm mistaken.

You can participate with ETH , BTC and Altcoins.

Did you guys also had a pre-ICO for Decentraland tokens? The only way to participate in the ICO will be by ETH right?

Here's an explanation on how to participate in the [PUBLIC] token sale. For the whitelist, we will be sending you instructions over email (as well as here) closer to the date.

Now, this is a cool project and let me say exactly why!

Remember Second life or played it? It was a hype everyone was playing and still, a pretty active community is active there creating their own stuff today. Reasons why Second life started to decline? The real world gets involved too much by stopping gambling and killing freedom of speech. I still remember protesting for freedom with my Dr. Phil face mask was kinda funny. I just remember I still have t-shirt creations that I made for Second Life. Who knows I can reuse them in this world.

Now take those memories into this world where everything is allowed and you have even more freedom? That is this Decentraland.

There will be token based casinos in this virtual world without the government trying to stop us and much more.

I think this is a very interesting project to invest in. Second Life 2.0 done the right way. Can't wait for full release.

check out this article by a community member. Feel free to share and comment with your thoughts

Can't wait until terraform event. Can we go full tron on this next year? I wonder what kind of scripting language the participants can use.

the ico period is August 17 to august 26  only 10days   seriously man? i think the ico time is two short

i agree. dev team should reconsider having bounty programs to help spread awareness about this project and get more investors. Blogs, translations, signatures, social media marketing campaigns they all help projects like these nowadays

Yeah I also rememebr there was an announcement.
Anyway probably I'll invest some.
