Internet of Coins Update #20 - Crowdfund a resounding success!
Dear cryptocurrency enthusiast,

We thank you for your interest in our project, and all who already participated in our crowdfund. You are receiving this e-mail because you have either signed up for the Internet of Coins e-mail updates, participated in the crowdfund or have previously been in touch with one of our team members.

Crowdfund finished: over 900,000 HYBRIDs registered

Last week, we were happy to see the fundraiser counter jump to over 900,000 HYBRIDs registered. Conservatively, we posted '700,000+' when the crowdfund ended, as we still had to verify a lot of transactions in the last days. Most of the donations have been sent in Ethereum and Bitcoin (statistics), but we saw the NEM, WAVES, NXT, Counterparty and Bitshares community participating as well. Some people donated anonymously without registering, as they simply wish to support the software project that we're building.

The release of the tokens

We were asked questions about when donators will receive their HYBRID tokens. There will be two distribution phases.

Phase 1: Starting next week, we will start distributing the tokens to all those who would like to trade them before our environment is live. Be aware that this is not for the faint-of-heart or the non-technical. Please keep in mind that this technology is experimental and under construction, like Bitcoin in its early days, and we have NO way of knowing how the decentralized markets will react to HYBRID tokens! It may take some time for liquidity to pick up, since HYBRID will be tradable on multiple decentralized exchanges. We could see erratic and/or disparate price movements on individual chains, until we fully interlink HYBRID tokens via the Internet of Coins in 2018 (see our roadmap). If you do not want to face these risks, or are not expert enough in cryptocurrency technology to set up multiple chains by yourself, we would advise you to wait until phase 2.

Knowing these risks, if you are technically skilled and wish to receive your tokens to trade at this time, please do the following (see early holders for some pointers).

Create wallets for receiving your tokens on Omni, Ethereum, NEM, Bitshares, Counterparty, NXT, and Waves.
Send an e-mail to [email protected], from the same address you used to register your donation, containing ONLY the following information: TXID: {transaction ID's you used for your donation} Omni: {PUBLIC KEY} Ethereum: {PUBLIC KEY} NEM: {PUBLIC KEY} Bitshares: {PUBLIC KEY} Counterparty: {PUBLIC KEY} NXT: {PUBLIC KEY} Waves: {PUBLIC KEY}
Replace {PUBLIC KEY} with your public key for that particular cryptocurrency. Be aware that if you make a mistake here, your tokens will be sent to the wrong account and you will lose them!

We will send you your tokens on all chains (1/7th per chain). This mode of distribution ensures the equal balance of HYBRID tokens across all chains at the start of trading. Note that we cannot offer technical support at this time, due to the small size of our team.

Phase 2: On the other hand, if you are not a technical expert, you will want to wait until the first version of our wallet supporting hybrid assets goes live in 2018. From the Internet of Coins app that we are developing, handling HYBRID tokens will be much easier in a unified interface. If you choose to wait, we will make sure your tokens are safely delivered to you in a user-friendly way.

Newsletter #20 translation would be great. Next week I will pay one extra time for this.

Also, please let your threads know that translation will be stopped for a while, as we will now be focusing primarily on development for several months, before starting another awareness campaign.

Finally, thanks for your translation work. I hope you find much success in your crypto ventures, and please keep track of our project. I will post again on this thread in the future if we get new translation work available.

Will we receive a payment for this last translation? Please let us know in this thread so that we could begin working on it once we receive the info.

I want to do the translation as well since it doesn't require that much to do so.

Also I've received the payment for last week, thanks.

Hi, no problem with me. Also I sent you PM with questions from the community and will appreciate if you could reply. Thanks!

Will be sending out the final payments today. Please let me know if you're open to translating our last campaign message. It will be posted here in the coming days.

Threads updated.

Internet of Coins - Crowdfund closing in 12 hours

Dear cryptocurrency enthusiast,

This is an extra message from the team behind the Internet of Coins project to remind everyone that the Internet of Coins crowdfund will end in 12 hours, on June 21st at 10.00 CEST.

You are receiving this now to make sure everyone with the different time zones is reminded in time. In the final hours, we will send one more reminder for all readers currently asleep.

Founders Joachim & Robert would like to state:

"Over the past weeks we have received a lot of questions about the project, the crowdfund, the public alpha and the team. We hope we and everyone in the team has been able to answer you as thoroughly as requested. In case you still have any questions remaining, we will be standing by in the chat and shall answer your emails as fast as possible until the crowdfund ends."

To help those who may still be looking for information, we have comprised a small list of sources which may provide additional insight into the project and our approach.

Of course, you can find most information on our website:
https://internetofcoins.org
The backgrounds of the team are available via their links to LinkedIn
there as well, to make an assessment of our human capital.

Second of all, for more understanding of the software, we would advise to take a look at our product presentation here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hucm3y4sms

You can find our development milestones and crowdfund participation benefits for the upcoming years until 2020 here:
https://internetofcoins.org/en/terms

The whitepaper describing the basis of our technology can be read here:
https://internetofcoins.org/whitepaper_ioc.pdf

We have won two research grants from a Dutch technology foundation for development:
http://www.newsbtc.com/2017/06/19/internet-coins-secures-sidn-fund-research-grant-worth-70000/ (most recent)

Our project and crowdfund have been assessed by several rating agencies:
https://www.icoalert.com/ICO-Alert-Report-IOC.pdf
https://www.smithandcrown.com/internet-coins-enabling-cross-chain-economies-hybrid-tokens/

Our primary goal is to offer a deterministic wallet which supports an interface for all blockchains, of which 2 currently supported in the public alpha. With the functionality of enabling fully decentralized peer-to-peer transfers, while making everyone an exchange for swapping cryptocurrencies and assets. Just like Bittorrent did for sharing media, we would like to empower consumers in sharing value.

Internet of Coins Update #19 - Crowdfund closing in 2 days

Dear cryptocurrency enthusiast,

We thank you for your interest in our project, and all who already participated in our crowdfund. You are receiving this e-mail because you have either signed up for the Internet of Coins e-mail updates, participated in the crowdfund or have previously been in touch with one of our team members.

New research grant secured

We have received word from the Dutch SIDN Fund that the Internet of Coins project has been awarded a grant of $70,000 (USD) for further development of our wallet with the decentralized exchange. The foundation stated:

“Internet or Coins creates a system where the exchange of cryptocurrency is democratised and open to everyone worldwide. This is in line with the objective of SIDN Fund to strengthen the Internet. An open and free Internet, which is accessible to all, trusted by the public and seen as a foundation on which to build.”

Over 500,000 HYBRIDs registered

This week, we were happy to see the fundraiser counter jump to 543,000 HYBRIDs registered. Most of the donations have been sent in Ethereum and Bitcoin, but we see the NEM, WAVES, NXT, Counterparty and Bitshares community participating as well. As we are entering the last week of the crowdfunding campaign, we thank all who already decided to be part of our journey.

Just two more days to go!

The fundraising period will close on the 21st of June, 10:00 CEST, the beginning of summer. Only two more days are left to register your donation. After that, development will start according to our roadmap (see our terms page for more details). We will keep you informed about procedures and the development of our infrastructure through our newsletters and on Twitter.

More transactions sent using IoC alpha wallet

As we mentioned in a previous newsletter, we have done our utmost to get a 'live' version of our wallet out there for testing by you, our supporters. Since the alpha is available we have seen the node push several transactions into the network. People are already trying it out, and thus far without any issues. The public alpha is available for testing at http://kth3qittpclsdrk6.onion so you will need to use TOR to access it. It supports just Bitcoin and Lisk for now, so we can test the basic functionality of the transaction mechanisms. Please do not store large amounts of value on this wallet yet, it is to be considered experimental until after more extensive testing and there may be bugs.

The case of the missing PIN

We understand from people with Gmail accounts that our PIN emails, and in some cases our confirmation emails, are not arriving at Gmail customers. This is because Gmail uses excessively strict greylist filtering. In some cases, it may help to send a little test email to [email protected] and keep this email in your outbox, before you start the donation procedure. Then Gmail sees the address as 'whitelisted' because you have corresponded with it before. However, if you do not receive a PIN email, even after checking your spam box, please use 77777 as your emergency PIN in combination with Gmail addresses only. These donations will then receive extra inspection and verification.

In that case, be absolutely sure to paste the correct transaction ID, which is a 64 character long hexadecimal string that identifies your transaction. You can find your 'TXID' by viewing the transactions coming in to the blockchain address that you are donating to, which are listed on our terms page using a block explorer. For Bitcoin donations, for example, you can use: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/14aV8dULoL67i6xQncfmFsbFaEtpRKskC2/transactions and for Ethereum donations: https://etherchain.org/account/0x197a920123dda17040a065457ef0c01b28a54045#txreceived

In case of not receiving a confirmation email, we also recommend to make screenshots of your transaction, in case these may be needed in later correspondence. You can always contact us about your donation in case of problems. Please understand that we cannot give you a simple refund of any donation, since only the overseeing foundation can decide on individual cases, when serious error is involved.

The release of the tokens

There have been questions regarding where the HYBRID tokens are 'visible' and how donators can know where their tokens are stored. We build on earlier achievements, and hence the infrastructure to carry our tokens will be developed using the (crypto)currency that our supporters donate. At the present moment, this means your registration information is your ticket for our Fundraiser. Make sure to keep a copy of your PIN, the TXID of your donation, screenshots of transactions and confirmation, or the confirmation email. When the network infrastructure is functional, each donator will be able to create their own account on the newly developed system. This account will receive the amount of HYBRID tokens reserved according to the donation at the time of participating. In the course of development, the network will be connected to different coins and token systems, as well as those included in the fundraiser.

Transparency of our fundraiser

You can check any of the blockchains listed on our terms page, to verify that the donated cryptocurrency will only be spent on project development, starting after the fundraiser period. We are proud to be part of an alliance with the Commons Conservancy under the reputable NLnet foundation, an official charity under Dutch rule of law, which guarantees that we cannot use these funds except for the purpose of developing the Internet of Coins.
