The Power of Showing Up
We were discussing culture today, and we realized that most of the people we’ve hired have simply started working with us without asking. They either started by coming to the event in Slovakia and then just kept going, or they literally came into our office in London, put their laptop down, and got to work without asking anyone. They just worked and got things done and didn’t ask about jobs or salaries. And I think we’ve ended up hiring almost all of them. Keeping that in mind, here are open items we can use help with …
•   More Node.js developers in London.
•   Personal assistant for three founders.
•   A person who is an expert at XML, semantic data, taxonomies, and ontologies.
•   A banking partner to help people transfer their fiat money into ether and send to the wallet.
•   Someone who seriously wants to build the world’s best blockchain explorer.
•   Someone who wants to work on messaging on the platform.
•   Someone who wants to work on calendar integration.
•   Someone who wants to help Pillar become an online giving platform.
•   Fundraising for 20|30
•   Online community (Mattermost) for 20|30
If you’re interested in any of these opportunities, please come to the appropriate community (Pillar https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=33a5879e99&e=e6ec2eae28 and 20|30 https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=f49762a647&e=e6ec2eae28) and just get started!

Pillar University meeting
We will have a big meeting in our office in London to discuss the upcoming Pillar University - a group of people who will help users, entrepreneurs, developers, press, and others understand and use the Pillar ecosystem. We’ll be producing a lot of videos, animations, blogs, reference material, how-to instructions, events, contests, and more. We are hiring, so join us in London for our all-day meeting starting at 10am on Monday, December 11th.

   SUMMARY
•   We are hiring semantic-data generalists, developers, Pillar University staff
•   We have two webinars soon: GDPR webinar on Nov 30th and Token webinar on Dec 7th
•   London Developer MeetUp video is on our channel as well as AMA session we livestreamed last week

The Hiring Continues
We are looking for a very particular person now: someone who understands metadata, ontologies, taxonomies, XML, semantic search, offers, spiders, bots, data science, machine learning, architecture, coding frameworks, statistics, security, and more. A semantic-data generalist.

This is a full-time position for our office in London. If you know that person, please ask him/her to come to our online community and say hi.

Join our community and introduce yourself! https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=88ca6ef3a9&e=e6ec2eae28

We are still looking for Node.js back-end developers for the core wallet and for the upcoming Business wallet. We’re also looking for strong back-end developers who play well with others.
We are putting the team together for Pillar University. It will have all kinds of resources: talks, animations, articles, courses, documentation, case studies, webinars, online events, offline events, meetups, contests, conferences, unconferences, coding camps, hackathons, scholarships, and more.
Where does the team come from? They have all been volunteering for The ICO Show, which we’ve decided to cancel. Not because it isn’t fun and informative - it’s both - it was just taking too much of my time, and I have to focus on Pillar. So we are taking the volunteer team from the ICO Show and moving them into full- and half-time positions at Pillar University.
Want to help with any of the above? Great. You’re hired. Just come to our online community and get started. Better yet, come to our office in London. To get the full scoop on our hiring process...

When is another Pillar Token Webinar...I have a few smart questions ...

David, it seems you are a good manager, you team has a strong spirit, they are professionals, motivated, you speak with audience here on this thread, you often posts detailed reports here, i should like to all ICO projects has such attitude to development. Clearly, Pillar is one of the best 2017 investment. Project looks very attractive for short term trading and long term holding.

Lots of events behind and ahead of us - see what's coming up in the next days!


The Pillar Wallet Designathon
We had a fantastic time in New York, where we came together, bonded, and the team did amazing work. We had Drew and Franky from Los Angeles (design contest winners #1), Dmitry from St Petersburg on crutches (contest winner #2), and Eli (runner up) as well as Thais and Shashi from Amsterdam. Thais did a cool wrap video, we shot it from the roof of the place where everyone stayed. I hope you enjoy meeting our new design team (they all volunteered - now most of them are full-time employees).

Town Hall Meeting: November 21
I’ll do a full hour of Q&A on Tuesday, November 21st, at noon EST/5pm UK time. Many people will be getting ready for Thanksgiving, but I hope you’ll take the time to watch. I’ll give a short update on the project, and then take questions from an early Pillar tokenholder, Vic Patane, who has been watching Pillar from his perspective in New Jersey. He’s asked me several questions by email, so I invited him to talk with me live on YouTube.

About Vic:
Vic has over 35 years of financial industry experience.  A self-taught student of blockchain who participated in one of his first ICO’s at 3AM on a Sunday morning, when he managed to get some Pillar tokens. Vic’s goal is to learn a little more each day while working to empower those around him. 

You can send your questions to me ahead of time to [email protected]

Now the price has started to grow, i think that is because PLR was added to hitbtc.com, i had not noticed it on this exchange before. With current growth rate and rising interest of investors we can expect even 2x in nearest weeks, maybe more. Pillar underlying technology is highly demanded right now,  especially after recent Ethereum Parity`s wallet hack. 

I expect it not to be a pump, but anticipation for the new designed wallet

Pillar on the rise or perhaps a pump ?  $0.153351 (+21.49%)

The volume on Cryptopia is pretty limiting. Still it was nice to see PLR listed there.

I would not call Cryptopia a small Exchange but it's obviously one your not on.  I moved from Bittrex to Cryptopia because there Support is slow as hell.

It seems to be a good project, but the little people post here, when will it launch a big exchange like Bittrex or Binance?

Good news that they aren't risking getting caught up with regulatory red tape. However that does mean a promising project I cant get in on the ground floor of

..latest newsletter from the Pillar Team.

You had many questions after our previous newsletter - we probably answered most of them in two recent updates on YouTube. And there's even more!


Tomer Answers Questions
Tomer is a founder of both the Pillar Project and 20|30. He took to YouTube last week to answer questions coming in about the upcoming 20|30 ICO.


Watch Tomer's Update
https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=847fc0b545&e=e6ec2eae28

David Answers Questions
I understand that people are confused about the difference between 20|30 and Pillar, so I want to keep communicating about that.
20|30 is a for-profit company that will build a portfolio of different blockchain projects. We started early in 2017 with the CryptX index, we got interrupted to do the Pillar Project, and now we’re building for-profit products and services on the Pillar platform. So 20|30 is the first of many companies that will use the Pillar ecosystem to make money. You can start one, too.

It’s important to understand that … 
•   20|30 supported Pillar, but now 20|30 receives no money from Pillar. All ether raised during the Pillar ICO is dedicated to building the Pillar ecosystem.
•   Pillar was always supposed to be a non-profit foundation, and we are executing that. Some people think this will make their tokens less valuable, but that’s not true. Ethereum is a foundation. DASH is a foundation. NEO is a foundation. Filecoin is a foundation. The vast majority of blockchain token projects are open source, which means they give their software away for free and hope everyone uses it, making the token more valuable to early buyers.
•   We hope you will actually use the tokens in your Pillar wallet. If you have any extra tokens you don’t use, we hope they will become more valuable, they may incidentally give you a good return, but that is not our mission. It’s our job to make the Pillar ecosystem incredibly useful and become the next-generation operating system for all future devices. If we do that, many people will want to buy Pillar tokens to power their devices and get more from them. As the system becomes more useful, your tokens become more valuable as a byproduct. This has been clearly stated many times and is in the Gray Paper.
•   20|30 will be the gatekeeper for the Pillar ICO wallet. If we open the Pillar ICO wallet to anyone, it would be full of scam ICOs, so 20|30 will put together a program to vet and onboard ICOs. Once that’s working, we are happy to give a license to other trusted companies to do the same thing. We don’t want to prevent legitimate ICOs from using our wallet.
•   To eat our own dog food, 20|30 will be the very first ICO on the Pillar ICO wallet. I wouldn’t want anyone to use a wallet we haven’t tested enough to be confident to put our own fundraise on, so we’re going to do just that.
•   The 20|30 ICO will be for equity tokens, which by law cannot be sold to the public. They can only be sold to accredited (wealthy) investors. This is not our choice, this is the law. We would violate securities laws if we sold equity tokens to the public (and some companies have done that - we’re not going to).
•   Remember that with the money we get from the 20|30 fundraise, we will invest to increase the value of the Pillar platform by building services that charge Pillar tokens. You may not participate in the 20|30 fundraise, but if you’re a Pillar token holder, you’ll benefit from it. We appreciate your support. You can support us by sending accredited investors to our investor page https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=01b9944f89&e=e6ec2eae28 to learn more.

GDPR Update
We are making progress on our GDPR wallet. We are convinced many companies will want to use this solution - replacing accounts with wallets.

Latest update from the Newsletter...

Wow, things are moving now. A lot to catch you up on …


Token Webinar Coming Up
I’m giving a webinar on token types and business models. It will be live on Wednesday, November 1st, at noon East coast/4pm UK time.
I’ll leave time for people to ask questions (for once). PLEASE NOTE: The UK changes time back one hour on October 31st, while the US changes time on Nov 5th, so for that week the UK will be only 4 hours ahead of the US' East Coast.


Register for the Token Webinar https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=d60eea75ba&e=e6ec2eae28


The New York Design Update
This past week I met with several winners of the wallet design contest for three intense days at the Rise accelerator in New York City. They came from Russia, Holland, California, and Philadelphia. I had no idea how well a team of strangers would work together, but we did the whole thing family style - everyone stayed in one big flat in Brooklyn, and we jammed all day long, sharing meals and really getting into the work, from breakfast until late at night. We’re all aware that we’re designing an operating system that, for now, looks like a wallet. We will share a video update of the experience soon.


The ICO Wallet
At last week’s awesome Pillar MeetUp in Haarlem, Mike Boutwell (or as YouTube knows him, Mike B.) sat down to discuss the ICO Wallet with Tomer Sofinzon, Pillar Project Co-Founder. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to subscribe to Mike B.’s channel for regular updates about Pillar and all things blockchain.


Watch the Conversation https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=473a073c30&e=e6ec2eae28


Is There a 20|30 ICO Coming?
Yes, the rumors are true (plus I mentioned it in the road map), we’re working on an ICO for 20|30. Recall that the Pillar project was a 20|30 project but has now spun out to be its own nonprofit foundation. That leaves 20|30 with no money to create the projects that will go hand in hand with the Pillar wallet.
20|30 has re-launched a new website at www.2030.io and its mission is to create a broad portfolio of blockchain-based projects. In addition to owning ten percent of all Pillar tokens, we are working on creating a special exchange for accredited investors only, and we’re planning to launch several security tokens next year. Then we’ll work on helping startups launch equity-token crowd sales on our platform and help get hundreds of startups get properly funded. We’re breaking new ground, working with regulators, and ultimately changing markets by tokenizing investments and making them available to more people.
You can help! We are looking for accredited/sophisticated investors. The definition of accredited varies in different countries, check here https://pillarproject.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0056162978ccced9e0e2e2939&id=a98fc8f7ea&e=e6ec2eae28. If you’re an accredited investor, or if you know one, please contact us to help get the word out about our upcoming ICO. We want a lot of people to participate in our equity offering, so we can hire more amazing people and keep building the products and services that will change the world.
If you think you are accredited or you know an accredited investor, please contact [email protected] to learn more about what we’re planning. If you know any journalists who cover fintech, please have them do the same. We will be sending out further communications regarding the process of accredited investment. Also please sign up for our 20|30 newsletter on the website for anyone interested in keeping up to date.

It's down right now, maybe that's because of the pump of bitcoin price.
I miss the train because I was about to sell on the  pump but I expected too much, now that the price is low maybe I'll wait a little bit to fall a bit then buy.

Plr doesn't really seem like a project that will pump on an announcement. Slow rally due to the work being shown to be done. In the end PLR investors will be happy.
