New Team Members and ICO Update:ICO Update:The rise team has been very impressed by the trust placed in our project so far by way of investments. We've passed 150 btc in just over the first week, however there is still a long way to go before we could make Project Acre possible. 1250 btc and Project Acre kicks in as a bonus to Rise holders.
We have high aspirations to make Rise into a cryptocurrency that is a cut above most other projects. The best projects are well funded and we are on the right tracks. In order to reward early investors and drastically increase our chances of getting even better funded we're going to extend the 0% bonus weeks by an extra 2 weeks.
The 2 week extension will benefit everybody that invested beforehand by balancing things out, if everyone invested with a high bonus % then it's not really proportionate or advantageous for the early investors.... So, the extra 2 weeks of 0% will benefit early adopters.
So...
RISE ICO will now end on Friday 24th of June to coincide with the release of Rise Mainnet and all coins will be distributed to investors.
To recap on how the ICO looks now, nothing has changed apart from an additional 2 weeks at 0%.
This week is at 15% bonus.
Next week with 10% bonus.
Then 3 weeks of 0%.
We'll update in due course our texts and videos to correspond with the new date.
Again a big thank you for all the support and helping us get the Rise project off the ground, the community is growing and we have almost 600 registered users on the website and not to mention over 400 twitter followers!
